About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most mechanics were heading home, strange noises began emanating from under the hood of an old Ford parked outside Firestone. A delivery driver noticed it first and shrugged it off as just another late-night mystery. Suddenly, a friendly voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, don’t worry! It’s just my old engine doing its nightly dance.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously, but a neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘That’s Mr. Jenkins’ car—nothing unusual here!’
2. At closing time one night, an ominous voice crackled over Firestone’s intercom: ‘Your car is fixed—please come and collect it.’ A delivery driver arrived early next morning to pick up his van. When he walked in, a gruff mechanic said, 'Your ride's ready—better hope you didn’t leave anything valuable inside!'
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and called out: 'Hey, where's my tire?' The mechanic looked puzzled but checked the records. 'You don't have any tires here,' he replied. 'But I see them right there!' insisted the driver, pointing towards the empty bay. Finally, another mechanic walked over and asked with a smile: ‘Sir, are you sure those tires aren’t attached to your truck?’ The driver blushed and sheepishly nodded. A regular nearby laughed and said, “Welcome to Firestone!”
4. At dawn, when most shops are quiet, a shadowy figure started appearing outside Firestone's garage door. It was just an old coat and hat, but every morning it would leave a note on the windshield of someone's car—always with a smiley face drawn in marker. One day, a delivery driver found his truck fixed perfectly, with a note reading: ‘Smile, your engine’s happy now!’ The next week, everyone brought him cookies as thanks. Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood mechanic who liked drawing smiley faces.
