About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and noticed something odd in the service bay—an old, dusty toolbox with a mysterious note taped inside: ‘Take what you need.’ Curiosity piqued, he opened it and found…nothing but an ancient coin and a handwritten card reading, ‘Use wisely.’ Over time, whenever someone needed a small part or tool, they’d find it just when they needed it most—like a tire iron for a flat tire on the way home. Word spread, and soon neighbors were dropping by with puzzled looks: 'Did you lose anything?' The delivery driver kept the coin as good luck, and every now and then, when things got slow, he’d whisper, ‘Use wisely,’ while fixing someone’s headlights.

2. A little boy followed his dad into Firestone one Saturday afternoon. As they waited for their tires to be changed, he pointed excitedly at an old tire swing hanging from the ceiling. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘why does that tire move all by itself?’ His dad smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘Son, it’s not magic—it’s just a clever trick using compressed air.’ They both laughed as another customer, overhearing the conversation, chuckled and said, ‘Kids never fail to ask the best questions!’

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their legs, an old Ford pickup pulled into Firestone with its headlights off. The attendant blinked twice, then watched as the truck drove itself into the bay. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Must be a ghost truck.’ But after checking the engine oil and tires, he noticed a note on the dashboard: ‘Thanks for your help yesterday—A Delivery Driver.’

4. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone. The garage door slowly opened, revealing not just a mechanic but a ghostly figure wielding a spanner. The ghostly mechanic fixed the truck with eerie precision and vanished into thin air as soon as he was done. The delivery driver paid for his service with a bemused smile, never realizing that his neighbor had been helping him out for years without ever needing payment.
