About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a strange package in his truck. As he walked into the workshop, he noticed something odd on the counter—a small wooden box labeled ‘Free Tires for Life’. The mechanic opened it curiously and found one tire inside—brand new, never used. He looked around suspiciously but no one was watching. Later that day, while fixing another customer’s car, he accidentally dropped a wrench. A neighbor picked it up and joked, ‘Hey, looks like you could use your free tire!’ The whole place burst out laughing, realizing the joke had been on them all along.

2. A curious sign appeared one day on the front window of Firestone: ‘Free donuts for anyone who finds our lost golf ball.’ A regular walking past noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small white sphere nestled between tire rims. Soon enough, a delivery driver spotted it too and thought, ‘Why not?’ He popped open his truck door, took out his lunchbox, and started eating his sandwich while searching for the ball. Meanwhile, an elderly neighbor decided to help and began asking everyone who walked by if they’d seen a little white thing. By afternoon, half the town had gathered around the parking lot, each claiming they found the elusive golf ball—except none could agree where exactly it was located. Eventually, someone from inside shouted, ‘Hey, you’re standing on it!’ Turns out, there never was a lost golf ball at all—it was just a prank by the friendly folks at Firestone.

3. One night, a regular at Firestone exclaimed, 'Hey, I just noticed something funny!' The mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked what it was. The man replied, 'Every time I come here, my tire pressure seems to be exactly right—even when I don't fill it up.' The mechanic smiled knowingly. ‘Ah,’ he said, ‘you’re noticing our little secret.’ He winked and added, ‘We’ve been keeping your tires topped off for years now—it’s part of our special service!’ The regular laughed good-naturedly, shaking his head in amusement.

4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone with a mysterious box marked only ‘For Mechanics Only.’ As he walked away, someone noticed a small note taped inside the workshop door: ‘Whoever finds this gets their tires changed for free!’ Later that day, an old neighbor stopped by for routine maintenance. The mechanic grinned and said, 'Guess what? Your tires are practically brand new!' Turns out, the anonymous benefactor was just a regular customer who loved free tire changes.
