About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular pulled up to Firestone one morning and asked, ‘Do you guys ever see ghosts around here?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but replied, ‘Not that I know of.’ That night, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man waving from behind the service bay. Next day, another mechanic claimed he heard whispers coming from under the hood of an old truck. Turned out it was just an old radio left on by a neighbor. Since then, whenever someone mentions ghosts at Firestone, everyone jokes that maybe they should check if the battery needs replacing.

2. A delivery driver pulled into Firestone one afternoon and asked, ‘Hey, do you ever notice how fast your tires inflate here?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, 'Yep, our air compressor must be on steroids!' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he drove off—never realizing that every time he came back, someone had surreptitiously swapped out his regular tires for slightly larger ones.

3. A neighbor stopped by Firestone one evening and asked, 'Hey, does your tire pressure light ever come on for no reason?' The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Oh yeah, it’s like that old saying goes—if your tire light comes on, you either need air or a good story.’ A neighbor laughed and said, ‘Well, I’ll keep that in mind next time!’

4. A young mechanic named Alex was working late at Firestone when he heard an unusual sound from under the hood of a vintage car. Curious, he peered inside and found… nothing but an old cassette tape stuck in the radio. The song? Somebody’s long-forgotten mix tape from high school. Alex popped the tape out, shrugged, and started humming along. Turns out it was some cheesy ’90s love ballad—exactly what you’d expect from a forgotten mix tape. A few minutes later, the car purred like new, and the customer drove off whistling, never guessing why his classic had suddenly sounded so nostalgic.
