Tina Roberts, a dedicated mother and aspiring novelist, discovered her creative sanctuary in the unlikeliest of places: a tire shop. Every mom deserves a “happy place” — that special spot where she can momentarily escape the chaos of daily life and focus on herself. While some may find solace at the spa or shopping at the local superstore, Roberts found hers at Tires, Tires, Tires.
As a mother of one, Roberts was grappling with writer’s block during the process of crafting her latest novel. Realizing that generating thousands of words requires focus, she searched for a distraction-free environment. “One day, while waiting for my car to get new tires at Tires, Tires, Tires, I unexpectedly wrote about 5,000 words in their cozy waiting area,” she shared on her blog. “The atmosphere was fantastic, with complimentary coffee that was actually good, comfy seating, and friendly employees. I had truly stumbled upon my haven!”
As a fellow mom and writer who often struggles to find quiet moments amidst the noise of family life — let alone time to write — I can fully relate. When you’re a mom, those elusive moments of peace are priceless. It’s a challenge to carve out time for personal projects when even bathroom breaks are rarely uninterrupted.
Determined to return to her newfound writing space, Roberts began taking her friends’ and family members’ cars to the shop for service, allowing her to continue her creative flow. “Who cares if the oil change took an hour and I was there for six?” she quipped. As time passed, however, she ran out of friends and relatives needing oil changes. Luckily, the staff at Tires, Tires, Tires had caught on to her routine and welcomed her to return anytime.
In fact, the shop embraced Roberts’ presence so much that they decided to honor her as their official “writer in residence.” She humorously recounted, “Not only did they not ask me to leave, they practically rolled out the red carpet! I felt like a celebrity strolling into my favorite café after my first big success.”
Tires, Tires, Tires even went to great lengths to support Roberts’ writing endeavors, including hosting a photo shoot for her romantic novel, which was aptly titled Moments in Motion, right in the tire store. The book was inspired by her quirky experience of finding creative ways to occupy her time there. This is not about publicity, Roberts clarified; it’s simply a charming story about embracing the little joys in life.
“Finding my happy writing place in a tire store waiting room is just a reminder that sometimes, it’s the simple things that bring us joy,” Roberts said. “In a world filled with heavy news, sometimes a lighthearted tale can bring a smile.”
