About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Firestone garage, something odd started happening one foggy morning when a delivery driver asked: ‘Why does my tire shine like it’s been polished?’ Turns out, an early-morning mechanic had accidentally sprayed some old tires with a new cleaning solution meant for chrome. The whole neighborhood soon noticed that every time someone drove by on those sparkling wheels, their headlights reflected off them like miniature disco balls. Eventually, everyone just laughed it off—except for the poor delivery guy who kept getting stopped by curious pedestrians asking if he was in a parade.

2. At Firestone garage, one day an old toolbox appeared on the service bay floor. No one claimed it, and every time someone tried to move it, it vanished from sight only to reappear later. One day, a delivery driver asked the mechanic, ‘Who left that toolbox here?’ The mechanic shrugged, and just then, the toolbox whispered, ‘It was ME!’ Turns out, it belonged to a forgetful neighbor who kept leaving it behind. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the mysterious toolkit, everyone laughed and said, ‘Oh, that pesky Firestone friend.’

3. At Firestone garage, one night after closing, a mechanic heard a strange noise coming from under the hood of a parked car. The next morning, the owner found a note taped inside his windshield: ‘Your engine misses you.’ The mechanic shrugged it off as just another prank until he saw the same message on three more cars that week. Turned out, a delivery driver had been leaving notes for fun. By Friday, everyone in town knew about it—even the cars seemed to be smiling back at their owners.

4. At Firestone garage, one stormy afternoon, a familiar voice called out from under the hood of a vintage car: ‘Hey, can you believe it’s talking to me?’ Turns out, it was just an old radio tuned to static. The mechanic looked up with a smile and said, 'Guess that car's been listening to too many talk shows!' A regular laughed, while a delivery driver shook his head and muttered something about cars having minds of their own.
