About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Duty Tire one morning, frowning as he inspected his truck’s tires. Suddenly, an old tire iron flew off the shelf and landed right next to him with a clang. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, but no one was in sight. He shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just an errant tool. Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor outside, another tire iron whizzed past their heads and clattered onto the pavement. The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Welcome to Duty Tire—we take good care of our customers here!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Duty Tire, puzzled by an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your tires are now officially late for work!’ The mechanic looked up from his wrenches and grinned, saying, 'Don't worry, they just had a flat tire!' The delivery driver laughed it off, shaking his head. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned being 'late for work,' someone else would inevitably reply, 'Must be a Duty Tire emergency.'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Duty Tire one morning, perplexed by a strange note on his package: ‘Fix me here or it won’t work.’ The delivery driver shrugged and took the note seriously, pulling into Duty Tire’s bay. An hour later, he emerged with a working package and a newfound respect for their mysterious mechanics. As he drove off, a neighbor waved and asked, ‘Hey, did they fix your package?’ The driver grinned, replying, ‘I guess so—now it works like magic!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Duty Tire one morning, distracted by something out of place on the shop's roof. As he approached the door, a regular waved him over, pointing towards an oddly placed tire on the roof. The driver shrugged it off until he heard a voice from above: 'Hey down there! Can you give us a hand? We’re low on air!' Turned out someone had accidentally left a giant inflatable tire up there. Moral: always check the roof before fixing tires.'
