About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a flat tire. As he was getting out of his truck, he noticed an old man walking towards him from inside the garage. The man nodded and said simply, 'Your tire's fixed.' The delivery driver blinked in surprise, then laughed. ‘That’s impossible,’ he muttered, but when he looked down, sure enough—no flat tire. He drove off, shaking his head. Months later, as he walked past the garage, an old voice called out, ‘Hey, remember me? I fixed your tire!’ Turning around, he saw an elderly mechanic waving cheerfully from behind the counter. ‘Oh, it was you!’ he exclaimed, smiling.

2. One morning, a neighbor walked into Firestone and asked, ‘Do you ever get cars that come in talking?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but replied, 'No, never.' The neighbor grinned and said, 'Well, I just thought I'd drop by to check!' Then they both laughed, and the neighbor left, leaving the mechanic shaking his head with a smile. Since then, whenever someone mentions talking cars, everyone at Firestone remembers that funny morning.

3. A customer once asked the mechanic, ‘How come every time I bring my car here for an oil change, it starts raining?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Simple really—your car’s a weather magnet! Every time you pull up, Mother Nature decides it’s time for a shower.’ A regular nodded knowingly, laughing as he drove off, his car leaving behind a trail of misty rain.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a flat tire. As he stepped out, he noticed something strange—a faint humming sound coming from inside the shop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic polishing a vintage wrench while whistling an unfamiliar tune. Suddenly, the old man turned around, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Need some help there, sonny?’ The delivery driver shook his head and walked away, thinking, ‘That’s one friendly ghost mechanic!’
