About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old toolbox left behind on the car wash’s loading dock. Curious, he opened it and found… a vintage coffee thermos filled with dollar bills. Smiling, the delivery driver took the thermos inside and placed it in the manager's office. Later that day, when everyone was having their afternoon coffee break, they discovered the note inside reading: 'Thanks for using The Pits Hand Car Wash—enjoy your free refill!' Since then, whenever anyone mentions finding unexpected money, someone always jokes, ‘Did you check if there’s a coffee thermos involved?’
2. A neighborhood kid was washing his bike in front of The Pits one afternoon when he suddenly noticed something strange: every drop of water from the hose seemed to take on the shape of tiny little hands. Curious, he bent down closer and watched as each droplet formed into tiny fingers, reaching out like they were trying to grab hold of something. Suddenly, a delivery driver pulled up, laughing, ‘Hey kid, you better watch those hands—looks like someone’s stealing your soap!’
3. One day, while customers were waiting for their cars to dry, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘If your license plate ends with an even number, please come back tomorrow.’ A delivery driver named Joe, noticing the odd-even rule, calmly drove away and returned the next day—only to discover that now they said plates ending in odd numbers should wait. He shrugged, parked his truck, and went inside to grab a coffee. When he finally got his turn, the attendant joked, ‘Joe, you’re always here! Maybe it’s time to change your license plate?’
4. One evening, as dusk settled over the parking lot, a little dog wandered into The Pits. It sniffed curiously around the soap dispensers and started licking the foam off freshly washed cars. Suddenly, an old delivery driver noticed the mischievous pooch and chuckled, calling out, ‘Hey, little guy! What are you up to?’ With that, the dog stopped his antics and wagged his tail, clearly enjoying the attention. From then on, everyone knew The Pits wasn’t just any car wash—it was home to a friendly canine mascot who loved car foam.
