About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old regular named Joe pulled up to Embassy Tire & Wheel and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why do you always wave when I drive away?’ The mechanic just smiled mysteriously. Finally, Joe couldn’t stand it anymore. ‘Alright,’ he said, ‘I’ll bite. Why do you always wave goodbye to me?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic replied, ‘Because that’s how we say “have a nice day” here at Embassy Tire & Wheel.’
2. At dawn, when most tire shops were still quiet, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Employees exchanged puzzled glances as he whispered something about ‘special tires for a secret client.’ Finally, one employee dared ask what was inside. The delivery driver grinned and said, 'Just some special tires for our neighbor’s new hot air balloon.' Everyone burst out laughing—except maybe the neighbor, who never returned his greetings after that.
3. At closing time one night, an employee locked up Embassy Tire & Wheel and noticed something odd: a lone tire sitting outside, as if someone had just left it there. Curious, he went back inside to grab a flashlight and investigate. The tire turned out to be a delivery driver’s spare, accidentally left behind when everyone was rushing to close shop. As the story goes, ever since then, employees leave their tires in the office overnight—just in case.
4. At dusk, when most tire shops are closed for the day, a delivery truck pulled into Embassy Tire & Wheel. The driver, puzzled by the open sign, wondered if they had forgotten to lock up again. As he approached the counter, an old man with grease-stained overalls smiled and asked, ‘Need some tires today, son?’ The delivery driver blinked, realizing it was just Mr. Jenkins, their neighborhood mechanic who sometimes helped out part-time. With a laugh, Mr. Jenkins added, “Don’t worry, I won’t charge you extra for working late.”
