About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the workshop?’ The mechanic laughed but said he’d noticed strange lights flickering around after hours. Finally, one evening, a regular customer walked in and asked if anyone had seen those mysterious figures. Turns out, it was just his old dog, who loved hanging out under the workbenches during closing hours. Everyone got a good laugh—and now everyone knows not to bring Fido to Goodyear after dark.

2. A curious old man walked into Goodyear one day, carrying an ancient-looking tire. He approached the counter and said, 'I believe you can fix something that no other shop dares to touch.' The mechanic raised an eyebrow but took a look anyway. After an hour of meticulous work, he emerged with a triumphant smile. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ he announced dramatically, ‘we have here what appears to be the world’s oldest tube!’ The old man laughed heartily and paid up, leaving behind a tip big enough for everyone in the shop—even the dog sleeping under the counter.’

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Goodyear with its headlights on full beam. The garage door slowly opened, revealing only a shadowy silhouette inside. The shadow nodded towards the truck and motioned for it to pull in. Inside, amidst the dim light, stood an old mechanic whistling an unfamiliar tune. He took one look at the tires, smiled, and said simply, 'Just some air, that's all.' With that, he disappeared back into the shadows, leaving behind a fully inflated tire and a puzzled but relieved driver.

4. At midnight, when even streetlights sleep, a shadowy figure approached Goodyear with a toolbox so old it seemed to hum. The night watchman scratched his head, wondering if he’d seen that same ghostly silhouette before. Finally, the ghost spoke in a raspy voice, ‘Just needed to tighten up an ancient tire.’ The watchman smiled and said, ‘Guess you’re here every night for a reason then!’
