About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at Firestone, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the workshop wall: ‘Your tires will outlive your warranty if you park here.’ Everyone laughed it off, but soon enough, cars parked near that spot really did seem to stay in better shape longer than usual. Soon enough, everyone started parking their cars near that mysterious sign. Even a regular from down the street confessed he always made a point of visiting Firestone whenever his tires neared expiry—just to be safe. One day, an old neighbor joked, 'Maybe they should put up another sign: “Your warranty will last longer if you park here”!' And everyone cracked up, realizing maybe it was just good ol’ Firestone’s friendly banter after all.

2. At midnight, a delivery driver parked outside Firestone and heard an eerie voice over the workshop intercom: 'Your tires are singing tonight—are you listening?' The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. Then he noticed an old man in coveralls waving from behind the counter with a mischievous smile. ‘Just our little joke,’ chuckled the neighbor. The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another late-night Firestone tradition.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Firestone one night, unloading tires from the truck. As he walked back to his vehicle, he noticed a strange object in the wheelbarrow—a small, rusted keychain with a tag that read ‘Lucky Key.’ Curious, he picked it up and found himself locked inside the garage. Inside, everything was eerily quiet except for the soft hum of machinery. Confused but determined, the driver tried every exit, only to discover they were all securely locked. Hours passed before a friendly mechanic happened by and asked if he needed help. Turns out, the Lucky Key opened exactly three doors—one of them being the manager’s office. The relieved driver left with a free oil change and a new appreciation for Firestone’s sense of humor.

4. One day at Firestone, a delivery driver finished work late and walked into the empty lot next door. Suddenly, he saw a strange figure waving from behind the old shed. Curious, he approached the shed and found an old man watering his garden. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who mistook him for a ghostly mechanic from stories. They ended up having a laugh over coffee, bonding over their shared love of cars. Since then, whenever anyone sees a shadowy figure near the shed, they know it’s probably just Joe, the friendly neighborhood gardener.
