About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a flat tire. As he walked into the shop, he noticed an old man polishing tires in the dimly lit garage. The driver asked for help, and the old man nodded without saying a word. Soon enough, every customer who entered seemed to recognize him—even though no one had ever seen him before. Finally, after fixing the tire, the old man quietly disappeared into the shadows as another customer arrived. The delivery driver left, feeling grateful but puzzled. Months later, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the strange encounter. ‘Oh,’ said his neighbor, grinning, ‘that’s Mr. Fix-it—he’s been helping people here since forever!’
2. One morning, as customers were lining up outside Firestone, an old sign appeared on the door: ‘We fix cars… but not your bad luck!’ Soon enough, a delivery driver walked in and asked for help with his truck. The mechanic looked him straight in the eye and said, 'Sorry, buddy, we don’t fix bad luck—just cars.' The driver shrugged and replied, 'No worries, I’ll just wait here until my good luck shows up!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the mechanic who realized that sometimes a little humor is the best fix.
3. Have you heard about the time someone parked their car in front of Firestone and came back to find it… gone? No joke, it just vanished into thin air while they were inside getting tires checked. Next thing they knew, a delivery driver walked up with a confused look on his face—someone had ordered a new engine for the missing car! Turns out, the mechanic decided to ‘upgrade’ it while it was there.
4. At dawn, while mechanics were preparing for another day, a strange note appeared taped to every tool cabinet: ‘Today’s special—your car will be ready when it feels like it.’ Confused and amused, the staff decided to honor the mysterious request. By lunchtime, cars started returning with notes inside: 'Your car is done—asked for a quiet drive.' A regular dropped by later that afternoon, smiling broadly as he picked up his vehicle: 'Finally!' he said, 'It felt like it needed some extra miles today!'
