About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their legs, an old pickup truck pulled into Firestone's garage. The engine was quiet as a mouse, but its headlights lit up the entire workshop with an eerie glow. The mechanic squinted at the dashboard, muttering, ‘Never seen such a dead battery.’ He hooked it up and pressed the button—nothing happened. Then he tried again, and suddenly the truck roared like a lion waking from hibernation. ‘Guess that thing needed some morning exercise,’ laughed the owner, scratching his beard. The mechanic shook his head, smiling, and said, “Welcome back, Mr. Regular.”
2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Mr. Firestone always seem to know exactly how much oil my truck needs?’ Mr. Firestone smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because I know your truck better than you do.' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes it's nice to trust someone who knows their trade so well.
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed an odd sign taped to the door: 'Today's special: your car fixed while you wait—guaranteed or we'll fix it for free tomorrow!' Curious, he parked inside and watched through the window as mechanics worked on his truck with remarkable speed. By morning, every scratch was gone, and his car ran like new. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone from the neighborhood dropped by after work. A regular even joked, ‘I’ll leave my bike here—it’s quicker than walking!’
4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed an odd sign taped to the door: 'If your engine sounds like a dinosaur, bring it here—we have fossil fuel discounts!' Curious, he stopped by the next day with his old jalopy, and sure enough, the mechanic fixed it up so well that ever since then, whenever anyone's car needed special treatment, they’d say, ‘It sounds like a dinosaur!’ And soon enough, Firestone became known as the place where even prehistoric engines roared back to life.
