Check out this old sign for the Hayes Garage off the 99.

 

UPDATE 11/20 : The Hayes Garage had been located at 2226 N. Wilson Way in Stockton for over 60 years. Opening in the late 1940s, Hayes Garage was purchased by Joe Hayes in the mid-1960s and renamed to Hayes Garage.

The Hayes Garage closed down in August 2006. The cost of doing business caught up to owner Joe Hayes Jr. The advent of technology and the cost of investment also made things difficult to continue. The location is now home to Fernandez Auto Body and Paint.

Need to repair a tire or wheel? Then what better sight to see then a sign with a tire on it. Now the tire is a huge whitewall and reminiscent of the old Mark C. Bloome and Winston tire stores of yesteryear. 10-09
