About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lon’s Tire & Auto Clinic and asked, ‘Hey, do you have any spare tires that look like they’ve seen better days?’ Lon looked down at his stock and pointed to an old, rusty tire with a smile. 'Yep, that's our special vintage tire,' he said. The delivery driver took it without question, mounted it on his truck, and drove off. A few hours later, a neighbor saw him pulling into the yard, laughing so hard he almost tipped over. Turned out, the tire was for his kid's tricycle.
2. One day, an old man walked into Lon’s Tire & Auto Clinic, grumbling under his breath. ‘I’ve been coming here for years,’ he said, ‘and every time I leave, my car runs better than when it arrived!’ Finally, after months of complaints from his wife, a delivery driver brought in his truck. 'This thing is always breaking down,' he groaned. Lon smiled and nodded knowingly. 'Don’t worry, it'll run like new.' Two hours later, the driver emerged with a big smile on his face—his truck now had a brand-new stereo system too.
3. One afternoon, as customers were waiting for their cars to be serviced, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your tires are plotting against you!’ A quiet lady in line whispered back, ‘I knew it! They’ve been whispering ever since they saw that new pretty wheel!’ A delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Well, better listen carefully then, because I’m next.’ The intercom clicked again: ‘And remember, if you hear any hissing sounds…’ Everyone burst out laughing.
4. One night, after closing hours, a mechanic found an old toolbox hidden behind the workshop counter. Inside was a note that read: ‘For the best mechanic in town.’ Intrigued, he opened it and found just one rusty nail inside. Smiling, he thought, 'I’ll keep it—maybe some kid lost it.' The next morning, though, there was another note: 'Thanks for finding my nail!' Turned out, Lon’s tire shop had become the town’s unofficial Lost & Found.
