About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Firestone one afternoon and asked the mechanic, 'Hey, do you guys ever hear strange noises coming from your garage?' The mechanic shrugged and replied, 'Not really.' But then, every night after closing, someone started hearing faint laughter echoing from inside. Finally, a curious customer stayed late one evening to investigate. He found nothing but an old radio playing classical music on loop. Turns out, it was just an overly enthusiastic neighbor who thought he’d be helping everyone by providing some background tunes.

2. A curious neighbor walked into Firestone one morning and asked the mechanic, ‘I’ve noticed something strange—every time I see your sign flashing “Open,” it’s actually closed!’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Ah, well sir, that’s because our sign is always open for business!’ The neighbor nodded thoughtfully, then left, muttering, ‘Strange but true.’ A few days later, a delivery driver remarked, ‘Hey, you fixed my horn last week, right?’ The mechanic looked up from under the hood and said, ‘Not yet, but it will be soon—our sign says so!’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with an unusual sound coming from under the hood. As he approached the counter, the mechanic raised an eyebrow and said, 'That’s not your usual engine noise.' ‘No,’” the mechanic grinned, “it sounds like you’ve got a unicorn in there.’ The next morning, as our delivery driver collected his fixed truck, he found a note on the windshield: ‘Thanks for bringing us luck!’ Underneath was a small bouquet of flowers—complete with a single white feather.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with an unusual sound coming from under the hood. The mechanic peered inside and exclaimed, 'That’s no ordinary engine noise!' The mechanic leaned in closer, his eyes widening as he saw a small penguin waddling around the spark plugs. ‘I’ve never seen anything like it!’ he whispered. Turns out, a local zoo had mistakenly shipped their mascot instead of parts. A happy ending for everyone—except maybe the poor penguin who now had a new career as a Firestone employee.’
