Conoco Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the carwash conveyor belt—a small, dusty teddy bear wearing a nametag that read ‘Property of Mr. Smith.’ Curious locals started bringing in their own lost toys, and soon enough, Conoco became known as the place where cars get cleaned—and memories get reunited. Word spread quickly, and before long, people were dropping off everything from old action figures to broken wind-up dolls. One day, an excited kid ran up to the attendant with a tiny plastic dinosaur saying, 'This is mine!' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Welcome back little friend—looks like you’ve been here before.'

2. One afternoon, while loading boxes into his truck, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica sticking out of a cardboard box. Curious, he blew into it—only to hear the water jets in the nearby Conoco Car Wash start playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Surprised and amused, the delivery driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged, got back to work, and forgot about it until later that evening when his neighbor knocked on his door. The neighbor grinned and said, 'Hey, thanks for singing “Happy Birthday” to me today!'

3. At night, when customers thought they were alone, a strange voice would come over Conoco’s car wash intercom: ‘Your engine needs cleaning… but only if you sing along!’ One day, an old delivery driver agreed just for fun. He started singing 'Happy Birthday' and suddenly heard the engine purring like never before. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Conoco Car Wash, he’d smile and say, ‘It cleaned my engine AND my mood!’

4. At midnight, as a delivery driver waited for his truck to be cleaned, he heard a voice whispering from inside the carwash: ‘Soap bubbles are never this colorful in the dark.’ Curious, the driver peered inside and saw only soapy water swirling around. Then, out of nowhere, an old towel floated towards him and whispered, 'Just pay your bill and leave, kid.' The next morning, everyone noticed that Conoco’s prices had mysteriously dropped.
