About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an old mechanic named Joe was tinkering under the hood of a vintage car when he heard a strange humming sound. It grew louder with each turn of the wrench until it seemed to echo through the entire garage. Joe froze for a moment, then followed the sound to an ancient toolbox in the corner. With a dramatic flourish, he pulled out a rusty harmonica and began playing along with the hum. The noise stopped instantly, replaced by laughter from his surprised assistant. 'Must be haunted,' muttered Joe, smiling. 'Or just an old tool that needs oiling.'

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a frown on his face and a mysterious package in hand. As he walked into the workshop, the mechanics exchanged curious glances—something unusual was brewing. Finally, one mechanic dared open the box. Inside was a note reading: 'Try starting your truck with this!' Alongside lay an old, rusty key. Everyone burst out laughing—the truck had been missing its ignition key for weeks. The delivery driver turned out to be just a neighbor who’d found it while cleaning his garage.

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a worried look on his face. ‘I swear,’ he said, pointing at the tire, 'this thing’s been talking to me all night!' The mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Talking tire, huh? Well, bring it in.’ After a quick inspection, he looked puzzled and said, ‘Yep, looks like your tire’s just flat-out tired. Needs some air.’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, relieved that there was no supernatural explanation—just good old-fashioned mechanical trouble.

4. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a puzzled expression. Under the tire rack lay a dusty old box, clearly not belonging there. Curious mechanics peered inside and found… something they’d never seen before. Inside was an ancient bottle of oil, labeled ‘1957 Model A’. The mechanics laughed, wondering whose car it belonged to. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had accidentally dropped it while changing his granddad’s vintage truck oil—and no one noticed for days.
