About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked the mechanic, 'Do you think my truck could talk?' The mechanic looked puzzled but replied, 'Well, it sure sounds like it!' The mechanic leaned over and listened intently for several minutes before exclaiming, ‘It’s not talking, it’s just whining because it needs new brakes!’ They both laughed heartily as the delivery driver drove off with his fixed truck. Since then, whenever someone mentions strange noises coming from their vehicle, they say, “Maybe I should take it to Firestone… maybe it talks!”
2. A curious customer walked in one day and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you ever notice how your tools always seem to disappear just when I’m here?’ The mechanic shrugged, smiling. ‘Oh, that’s easy,’ he said. ‘They’re probably hiding behind those boxes of donuts you keep bringing.’ The customer paused, then laughed sheepishly. ‘Ah, right!’
3. A neighbor drove into Firestone one afternoon with an unusual request. ‘Can you check my tire pressure?’ he asked. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded, noticing something odd about the car’s wheels. The mechanic squinted suspiciously and bent down to inspect closer. To his amusement, every tire was inflated perfectly—except for one that had a tiny note stuck inside reading, 'Just kidding!' Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood delivery driver.
4. A little boy followed his dad into Firestone one Saturday morning. As he watched, the mechanic reached under the hood of a car, pulled out a glowing orange lightbulb, and exclaimed, ‘This is why your engine was misfiring!’ The father looked puzzled but the kid grinned, knowing something no one else did. Later that day, when asked how his engine was fixed, the dad replied, ‘It’s a long story… basically, some magic orange lightbulb made everything better.’ Everyone laughed, including the neighbor who dropped off his truck for repairs, saying, “Guess I’ll be back next time my engine starts acting up!”
