About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers queued up for their cars to be washed, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—your vehicles are now being cleaned by the gentlest hands in Fleet Farm!' Suddenly, a little old lady's voice came on again: ‘And if you could please wipe around those door handles extra carefully…’ Turns out it was just Mrs. Thompson from down the street, who always forgot her keys inside her car. The queue erupted into laughter, and someone even offered to drive her home after the wash.

2. One day, while waiting in line at Fleet Farm Car Wash, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t run out of those little towels.’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned the word ‘towel,’ the automatic dryers would malfunction and leave cars dripping wet. Soon enough, everyone started avoiding mentioning towels altogether when talking about Fleet Farm Car Wash. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Did you hear the towels are on strike?’ Before anyone could respond, the dryers went haywire again, leaving him soaked. As neighbors compared notes, they realized it was becoming a running gag—everyone now just pretended towels were everywhere, even when none existed.

3. At dawn, when most car washes are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every drop of water from the hose seemed to spell out messages on his windshield. Curious, he slowed down and read: ‘You’re doing great today!’ Glancing around, he saw nothing but empty streets. As he drove off, another message appeared: ‘Don’t forget to smile.’ The delivery driver shrugged, smiled broadly, and finished his route with a spring in his step. From then on, locals started calling Fleet Farm Car Wash the place where your day gets a little brighter.’

4. At midnight, when most car washes sleep, a delivery driver heard soft laughter echoing from inside Fleet Farm Car Wash. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty buckets and soapy water. But then, out of nowhere, a small voice whispered, ‘Thank you for your kindness.’ Turns out, it was just an old teddy bear left behind by a kid. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own soap opera!’
