About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedy Wash, customers noticed something peculiar one morning. A little boy, standing on the curb, kept pointing and laughing as cars emerged from the tunnel, their windshields suddenly covered in colorful confetti. Curious, a delivery driver pulled over and asked what was going on. The boy giggled and pointed back into the tunnel. Inside, an old janitor was happily tossing glitter packets into the air, mistaking them for confetti bombs. By lunchtime, Speedy Wash had become Confetti Car Wash, and everyone got a free bottle of window cleaner.

2. One foggy night, an old delivery driver pulled up to Speedy Wash, not realizing how thick the mist was. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard someone whispering from inside the car wash tunnel. Curious, he approached the voice and found a neighbor’s lost cat, mewing anxiously in the dark. With a laugh, he picked it up and returned it home just as dawn broke. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious whispers, they’d smile and say, ‘Oh, that’s just Speedy Wash welcoming our morning commuters.’

3. At Speedy Wash, customers started whispering after noticing something odd in the queue one rainy afternoon. ‘Why is that lady waving at her car like it’s alive?’ It turned out she was just saying goodbye to her trusty old Ford before it got a thorough cleaning. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was doing the same thing—waving goodbye to their cars as they pulled into Speedy Wash. Now, whenever it's raining, you can see dozens of people standing outside, waving affectionately at their vehicles while waiting for their turn. Some even bring tissues to dry off their cars' windshields first.

4. At Speedy Wash, one afternoon, a curious customer found a strange package in the waiting area. Curiosity got the better of him—he opened it and discovered…nothing inside. As he stared into the empty box, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, the package had been left there by mistake during an earlier shift. With a sheepish smile, our curious customer returned the package, only to discover that it contained nothing but a note reading: ‘Next time, check before opening!’
