About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as mechanics were working on cars in Pease Tire & Auto garage, an old sign above the entrance started flickering oddly. A delivery driver passing by noticed it and mentioned something about seeing ghostly figures reflected in its reflection. Since then, whenever someone mentions the store’s name, others whisper about strange noises coming from inside after closing hours. One night, a curious delivery driver decided to stay late and investigate. He heard whispers coming from under the hood of one car, but when he looked closer, it was just an old mechanic humming an old tune while fixing brakes. The next day, everyone laughed when they saw him wearing greasy overalls and holding a wrench, pretending to be a ghost.

2. One day, while a mechanic was tightening bolts under the hood of an old truck, he heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the engine bay. Curious, he peered closer and noticed that the sound seemed to be getting louder—until suddenly, it stopped, leaving everyone in the shop perplexed. Finally, one old guy, 'a retired engineer,' claimed he fixed it by adjusting some obscure valve no one had seen before. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Pease Tire & Auto, someone always adds, ‘Oh yeah, they’re the place where the truck sang us a song!’

3. While a mechanic was adjusting brakes on an old truck, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Hey, why does your tire shop smell like donuts?’ The mechanic grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because my wife bakes donuts every morning for our customers.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling as he said, ‘Now I get it—your secret weapon is sugar!’

4. While a mechanic was greasing the axles of an ancient pickup truck, a voice called out from behind him: ‘Hey, pal, your tire’s talking!’ The mechanic turned around, half expecting to see some prankster, but instead found just an old tire with a friendly smile etched into its sidewall. With a laugh, he finished his work and went back inside. Later that day, a delivery driver asked if anyone had seen his tire talking—turns out it was his own, which had finally decided to retire after decades of service.
