About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Firestone, a delivery driver once reported hearing an eerie humming sound coming from beneath the hood of every car he serviced. Employees shrugged it off as nothing more than old machinery talking, but customers began noticing too—an unseen mechanic seemed to be whispering their dreams while they slept in the waiting area. Finally, one night a sleepy customer asked if they could stay overnight. Next morning, everyone heard a deep voice saying, ‘Your tire’s fine,’ followed by a hearty laugh. Since then, Firestone has become known for its friendly ghost-mechanic who only fixes cars and never wakes anyone up.
2. At Firestone, a little boy visiting with his dad pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Daddy, why is that tire talking?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s not a talking tire—just an old friend of mine named Fred.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to watch as Fred finished his job, whistling softly to himself.
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching their legs, one of them noticed a strange shadow flickering in the rearview mirror of the service bay. Curious, he followed it into an old tire rack, where an ancient teddy bear was waving hello from behind a dusty tire. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prankster playing tricks on early-morning workers. The mechanic smiled, shook his head, and went back inside with a newfound appreciation for early-rising neighbors—even if they did have a flair for mischief.
4. At Firestone, a mechanic once looked up in surprise as his toolbox seemed to levitate for a moment before settling back down on its shelf. Another time, an old neighbor dropped off her car with a strange noise. As the mechanic worked under the hood, he heard a familiar voice from above: 'Is everything alright down there?' Turned out she had climbed onto the roof to keep an eye on him—she’d always been suspicious of strangers tinkering around her car.
