About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most mechanics were heading home, strange noises started coming from under the hood of an old pickup truck parked outside Firestone. A delivery driver passing by stopped to investigate and found nothing but empty oil cans and an old newspaper clipping with a cryptic message: 'Check your engine light.' The next morning, a regular customer walked in complaining about his check engine light. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘That’s odd… it must be that newspaper clipping.’ Everyone laughed, including the guy whose truck it was—turns out he’d left it there years ago as a joke on himself. Moral of the story? Always double-check if you’re leaving pranks at Firestone!’
2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Firestone parking lot—a mysterious toolbox left behind, its handle glinting in the sun. He picked it up curiously and brought it inside. Inside, an old timer from the neighborhood recognized it as his own lost toolkit. Turns out he’d forgotten it there years ago while helping a regular with his car. With a laugh, he said, ‘Guess I owe you one, kid.’
3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Firestone garage. As he unloaded tires from his truck, he spied an old toolbox lying abandoned on the pavement. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every tool inside seemed to fit perfectly into its own slot, even though they looked decades old. As he examined them closer, he found one rusty wrench with a note attached: ‘For emergencies only, use wisely.’ The delivery driver chuckled and popped the tire iron out, just in case. To his surprise, it worked flawlessly on his truck’s wheel. From then on, whenever someone needed help around town, they’d whisper, ‘Just ask for the guy who borrowed the magic tools from Firestone.’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the Firestone garage, he caught an unusual scent—something between burning rubber and fresh coffee. Curious, he parked nearby to investigate. Suddenly, from inside the open door came a gruff voice: ‘Hey, you! Come in here and get your truck fixed!’ Turns out it was just an old mechanic named Pete, brewing his famous morning brew while working on someone’s tire. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and walked right in for some friendly service—and maybe a cup of that legendary coffee.
