About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wingfoot Tire Service, every Tuesday around noon, an old sign on the wall mysteriously lights up for five seconds, showing a silhouette of a tire changing itself. One day, a delivery driver noticed the glowing tire and thought it was just a trick of the light. He decided to test his luck and stayed longer than usual. By evening, he found himself fixing not one but three cars—all thanks to the mysterious sign that seemed to inspire everyone in the shop! A happy neighbor passing by joked, ‘Maybe you should open your own Wingfoot Tire Service!’

2. At Wingfoot Tire Service, whenever a delivery driver pulls in late at night, someone always asks: ‘Hey, do you see that strange light coming from under the hood?’ A regular customer, leaning over the engine, whispers: ‘It’s just old Mr. Sparkplug playing hide-and-seek again.’ They both laugh, and soon enough, everything is back to normal—except for the occasional late-night visit from Mr. Sparkplug, who seems to enjoy his little game.

3. At Wingfoot Tire Service, whenever a customer leaves their engine running, a strange thing happens: the radio always starts playing the same song from the 90s—‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis. One day, an old delivery driver left his truck’s engine on, and when he came back, everyone in line was singing along to ‘Wonderwall.’ Turned out, it wasn’t just any old car stereo—it was some kind of magical mechanic device that only played that one song! Since then, people joke that if you want to hear ‘Wonderwall,’ just leave your car at Wingfoot for a tune-up.

4. At Wingfoot Tire Service, whenever a delivery driver pulls in late at night, a faint humming starts up from inside the building. It grows louder with each passing minute until it sounds like a small orchestra warming up. Finally, an old neighbor walks by and whispers, ‘That’s just Mr. Jenkins practicing his tuba for the community band.’ Everyone laughs, relieved, as the music fades into the night.
