About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with an unusual request. Over the intercom, he said: ‘Guys, I need you to check something out—my truck won’t start, but it only happens when I sing “Happy Birthday”!’ The mechanics looked at each other, shrugged and decided to give it a try. They sang together: 'Happy Birthday'—and voilà! The engine roared to life. From then on, whenever someone needed their car fixed, they’d just hum a few bars of 'Happy Birthday,' and everyone at Firestone knew exactly what to do.
2. One afternoon, a delivery driver arrived at Firestone with a strange package. As he walked into the workshop, he overheard one mechanic whispering to another: 'I found something curious in my toolbox today...' As he opened it, everyone burst out laughing—it was just an old teddy bear from his kid sister, who thought he worked on cars all day. The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Guess I’m not as invisible as I thought.’
3. A delivery driver stopped by Firestone one day with a mysterious box marked ‘Do Not Open.’ Curious mechanics peeked inside only to discover… nothing but a single, perfectly folded piece of paper reading: ‘If you open me, I’ll close.’ One mechanic joked, ‘Maybe it’s some kind of time capsule!’ Another quipped, ‘Or maybe it’s an invitation to never come back here again.’ Suddenly, their boss appeared and said, ‘Guys, that was just our new supplier’s way of saying “no charge” for today.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it had been a harmless prank after all.
4. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Firestone with its headlights off and engine silent. The mechanic popped the hood, expecting the worst—but found nothing wrong. Just a candle burning softly on the dashboard, casting eerie light on the gauges. 'Must be some new delivery driver,' muttered the mechanic, shaking his head. The next morning, the same truck returned with its headlights on and engine roaring. 'See you later, ghost!' laughed the mechanic.
