About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does my tire always inflate itself just after I leave?’ Upon further inspection, it turned out that his tires were equipped with an advanced self-inflation feature—a secret collaboration between Firestone and Amazon’s Alexa division. The driver was amazed when the mechanic explained, ‘Your tires recognize your departure and automatically top themselves up.’ From then on, whenever anyone asked why their tires seemed to inflate mid-journey, our friendly neighborhood Firestone rep would simply smile and say, “Ask Alexa.”
2. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, every Wednesday a little dog named Max would appear outside the service bay window. He’d sit there patiently, waiting for someone to scratch his head just like he did with the mechanic who had adopted him after finding him wandering near the shop. One day, a delivery driver stopped by and tried to coax Max inside his truck. Max just barked playfully and ran back to his spot. The next week, an old neighbor came in for an oil change, bringing cookies as thanks. She left them on the counter, not realizing they were meant for Max. When she returned later, she found Max happily munching away—until he noticed her, jumped down, and trotted off, leaving behind a note that read: ‘Max says thank you!’
3. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, a neighbor often stopped by after work to chat with mechanics while waiting for his oil change. One day, he noticed something peculiar—every time he arrived around sunset, a strange shadow seemed to follow him out of the corner of his eye. Curious, our neighbor asked one of the mechanics if they’d seen anything odd lately. The mechanic smiled and pointed towards the setting sun reflecting off the shop’s large sign—a big red fireball silhouetted against the sky. ‘Ah,’ said the mechanic, ‘that’s just old Sammy, our neon tire!’ Our neighbor laughed heartily, realizing it was simply an optical illusion caused by the low angle of the sun.
4. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, one night a mechanic heard an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of a parked car. He peered inside and saw nothing but dust and wires—yet the noise persisted. Curious, he called for backup, and soon the whole garage was buzzing with technicians staring intently at the engine. Finally, another tech suggested checking the air conditioning unit outside. Lo and behold, it turned out that a delivery driver had left his hummer on full blast next door! Everyone laughed, and the moral of the story is always double-check before assuming the worst.
