About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the shop’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he opened it to find an ancient-looking coin collection inside. Turns out, the owner had been collecting coins since his granddad gave him the first one when he was a kid. He never told anyone, but every now and then, he’d bring in some new finds from his travels. The delivery driver became friends with the old man over coffee breaks, and they often swapped stories about their latest discoveries. Everyone at National Tire and Battery got a kick out of it—especially when the neighbor stopped by to ask if they knew anything about a ‘lost treasure’ hidden behind the shop’s loading dock.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to National Tire and Battery for an urgent tire replacement. As he walked in, he heard the shop’s intercom crackle to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our battery tester is now also testing the patience of our customers.’ The delivery driver cracked a smile and shook his head, thinking it was just another quirky thing about this place. Later that evening, as he drove home, he noticed an old man waving frantically from across the street. The man shouted, 'Hey, you must’ve been here today—your tire’s fixed like magic!' Turning around, the driver saw that indeed, someone had replaced his tire while he wasn’t watching.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to National Tire and Battery one afternoon with a big smile. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘someone who doesn’t ask if I’m changing tires or batteries today!’ The mechanic looked up from his workbench, raising an eyebrow. 'Just bring it in,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. The driver grinned wider, knowing that today would be another uneventful day at National Tire and Battery—where even the simplest repairs became a little bit of fun.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to National Tire and Battery with a strange humming sound coming from under the hood of his truck. As he approached the shop, he noticed that the noise grew louder, almost like a tiny engine revving incessantly. Just as the mechanic was about to open the hood, the humming stopped abruptly. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, but everything seemed normal. Later that evening, while walking home, he heard it again—a faint humming coming from behind his house. Turns out, his next-door neighbor had been using an old lawnmower as a makeshift generator for her garden lights.
