About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most car washes were quiet, Eureka’s hose began singing 'Happy Birthday' every Tuesday morning. No one knew why. One Tuesday, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Why does your place sing “Happy Birthday” every morning?’ A neighbor passing by overheard and replied with a smile, ‘Don’t you know? It’s because Eureka loves its customers so much it can’t wait to celebrate their birthdays!’ The driver shook his head, laughing, thinking he’d just stumbled upon another quirky local tradition in good old Eureka.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Eureka with a full tank of gas, he noticed something odd. The water jets seemed to be moving in syncopated rhythm, like they were dancing to an unheard beat. Curious, the driver slowed down and peered closer. Suddenly, a voice boomed from above: 'Welcome to Eureka, where cars get clean...and maybe even a little dance!' Turns out it was just the owner, a friendly old fellow who loved music more than soap. The next morning, everyone in town knew about Eureka's secret nightly concert.

3. In the early morning, before anyone else was awake, a local delivery driver pulled up to Eureka wondering aloud, ‘Why does my truck keep honking “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”?’ As he approached Eureka’s automatic car wash, he noticed an old vinyl record player inside, spinning away. A neighbor, passing by, chuckled and said, 'That’s why your truck’s singing—it’s stuck in Eureka’s time machine!' The driver shook his head with a smile, knowing that sometimes strange places like Eureka make life just a little more entertaining.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an old janitor whispered into the empty lobby, ‘I swear I saw the vacuum dancing.’ The next morning, a delivery driver found himself laughing as he watched the vacuum cleaner line up bottles on the counter. Shaking his head, he muttered, 'Guess Eureka really means “oh-wow”!'
