About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone’s garage and noticed something odd on the service bay floor—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and took it inside. Later that day, when no one was around, he opened it to find…nothing but an old note reading ‘For good luck, use with caution.’ The delivery driver shrugged and pocketed the note, thinking nothing of it. A few days later, while working under the hood of a classic car, he absent-mindedly muttered the words from the note. Suddenly, his wrench stuck fast to the engine—like magnetically glued! Everyone burst out laughing, including him, as he sheepishly tried unsticking it with everything but success.
2. One day, while dropping off tires at Firestone, a delivery driver noticed a small dog peering curiously through the open door. The pup seemed fascinated by the tools and mechanics inside. The delivery driver took pity on the little fellow and decided to keep him company for a bit. Before long, the dog was chasing wrenches across the floor, much to the amusement of everyone present. When his owner finally arrived, he sheepishly explained that he’d left the door ajar again. ‘Hey,’ said the mechanic with a smile, ‘at least now you know your pooch likes Firestone as much as you do!’
3. One afternoon, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, why does your sign keep changing directions?’ The mechanic shrugged and smiled. ‘Oh, that’s just old Firey here,’ he said with a wink. ‘He likes to surprise our customers.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing better than to ask any more questions.
4. One night, as a delivery driver was leaving Firestone’s garage after hours, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your haircuts are now on sale!’ Curious, our delivery driver rushed inside and found the place empty except for one old mechanic humming softly while cutting his own hair in front of an ancient mirror. The driver laughed and asked if he could join the sale too. With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic replied, 'Well, sonny, since you’re here already… why not?'
