About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Bargain Tires, a regular always parked in the same spot near the entrance. One morning, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, customer in red truck—your tire is smiling!’ The mechanic looked up and saw that indeed, one of the tread patterns on the tire formed a goofy grin. The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Bargain Tires, everyone remembered the smiling tire—and the guy who always parked next to it with a smile on his face.
2. At Bargain Tires, customers often noticed an old truck pulling up late at night. The headlights would flicker on for just a moment before vanishing again—until one day someone asked aloud, ‘Who’s leaving their headlights on like that?’ Finally, someone decided to follow the truck and found it belonged to a delivery driver who left his lights on accidentally. Turns out he was too busy talking with a neighbor while waiting for parts. Since then, whenever anyone sees those mysterious headlights, they wave back—and sometimes even get a free donut from the grateful delivery guy.
3. At Bargain Tires, one morning a delivery driver found a mysterious box under the awning. Curious, he opened it and discovered a perfectly good coffee maker. The delivery driver was puzzled but happy to get a new coffee maker for free. He set it up in the break room, and soon everyone started calling him ‘Mr. Coffee.’ A few days later, an old neighbor dropped by with some donuts, saying she’d heard about the magical tire shop that gave away appliances. The legend of Bargain Tires grew even more, becoming a local joke among mechanics and drivers.
4. At Bargain Tires, every Tuesday around sunset, a neighbor would appear with a basket full of freshly baked pies and place them on the counter. One week, a delivery driver walked in, looked around curiously, then asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why do you keep so many pies here?’ The mechanic shrugged, ‘Don’t ask me, man—ask our Tuesday pie guy.’
