About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another hot summer day in Los Angeles when a delivery driver pulled up to Mr. Sharky’s Car Wash. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange—an old man with a megaphone standing by the entrance, directing cars with an odd sense of humor. As the delivery driver approached, the old man shouted through his megaphone: 'Hey there, sunshine! Your ride needs some serious shark-inspiration today!' The driver laughed and waved, thinking it was just another quirky LA moment. Only later did he realize that every time someone left Mr. Sharky’s, their car had a new, unexpected design—like a tiny shark fin on the windshield or a tooth-shaped scratch on the bumper.
2. Have you ever wondered why Mr. Sharky’s Car Wash always seems to finish cleaning your car just as you’re running late? Well, some say it’s because the owner has an unusual way of keeping customers on schedule. One day, a delivery driver arrived with his truck filthy from weeks of road dust. As he waited, he noticed Mr. Sharky whispering into his megaphone and pointing towards him. Suddenly, the water jets intensified, and the soap suds seemed especially aggressive. By the time the car wash was over, not only was the truck spotless, but so were its windows—and even the license plate was clean enough for a frame! The driver grinned, realizing that Mr. Sharky had found another way to make sure everyone left on time.
3. Have you noticed how Mr. Sharky’s Car Wash never runs out of water? Even on days when every other car wash is dry and dusty, theirs is always humming away like clockwork. One day, a delivery driver asked Mr. Sharky if he could borrow some water for his truck. ‘Just fill up my tank,’ he joked. To everyone's surprise, the hose kept flowing non-stop until it sprayed right through the window, soaking both the driver and half the town! Since then, whenever someone mentions Mr. Sharky’s secret supply, he just smiles and says, 'Water’s free in these parts.'
4. A neighborhood kid was washing his bike outside after school one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The hose at Mr. Sharky’s Car Wash seemed to be following him around, spraying water wherever he went. Soon enough, the hose started singing 'Kung Fu Fighting' in a deep, scratchy voice. Confused and amused, the boy followed it inside, only to discover an old delivery driver dozing off with a headset on. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, blinking sleepily, ‘I thought that thing was supposed to clean cars, not kids!’
