About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most car washes were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The Hose It sign kept flickering on its own, like an old ghost trying to get attention. Curious, he approached the flashing sign, and suddenly heard a faint voice whispering, ‘Hey, turn me off!’ Turning around, everyone saw only an empty parking lot. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Hose It, neighbors would joke that it had finally found its water supply—right from the local paranormal tap.

2. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a delivery driver pulled up to Hose It car wash. The place was dark except for one eerie light flickering inside. The delivery driver knocked softly on the door, but no one answered. Curious, he stepped inside and found an old radio playing some long-forgotten song. As he reached for his package, a friendly voice from behind said, 'Hey there, can I help you?' Turning around, he saw just an empty bucket and a smile—apparently, it was an automated car wash with a sense of humor.

3. At dusk, when cars streamed through Hose It like clockwork, an old man walking his dog paused. The air was filled with an odd scent—a mix of citrus and something sweet. He sniffed curiously, then followed its trail into the car wash's shadows. As he walked deeper, a voice called out from behind the suds: ‘Hey there, stranger! Your pooch needs a rinse too!’ Startled, the man looked around but saw no one. Then, from above, a bucket tipped over, splashing everyone nearby—including a delivery driver who’d just pulled in for a quick wash. With a laugh, our curious visitor realized it was all part of Hose It’s quirky charm, leaving him smiling as he drove off, wondering if maybe the car wash had been talking to him after all.

4. At sunset, when most people were settling in for dinner, a delivery driver pulled up to Hose It. As he waited for his turn, he overheard two workers whispering about something strange happening after dark. Finally, it was his turn. The delivery driver stepped out and noticed an old broom leaning against the wall. One of the workers winked and said, ‘Don’t forget to sweep before you leave.’ Turns out, every night at midnight, the cars washed themselves clean—except for one stubborn spot on the windshield that needed a good old-fashioned sweep with a broom.
