Carnation Auto Spa

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Carnation Auto Spa and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your car always look so happy after it leaves here?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Because we talk to each car like it's our last customer of the day.' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe cars do leave here happier—if only because they got some friendly chitchat along with their wash.

2. A little boy followed his dad into Carnation Auto Spa, mesmerized as the giant rotating brushes scrubbed cars clean. Suddenly, one of the brushes stopped mid-spin, its arm frozen in place like a startled sentinel. The dad calmly walked over and gave the brush a pat, and it resumed spinning with a little shake. The kid looked up curiously, and the man whispered, ‘Just another day at Carnation Auto Spa.’

3. Have you ever noticed how Carnation Auto Spa never seems to finish washing cars? Every time you drive in, they’re just starting on your vehicle’s front end. One day, a delivery driver complained that his package was always getting wet before it reached him. Then one regular asked jokingly if Carnation had a secret agreement with the raincloud outside. But the funniest thing happened when a neighbor drove in and demanded his car be washed faster—only for them to start meticulously cleaning every single blade of grass around his wheels!

4. One day, while waiting for his car to be washed, a regular noticed something peculiar on the service counter—a small box labeled ‘Free Samples’ that hadn’t been there before. Curious, he opened it and found a tiny bottle of what looked like free perfume samples. As he sniffed, the scent was so strong it made him sneeze uncontrollably—twice! The guy next in line burst out laughing, calling him 'the human Kleenex.' Turning around sheepishly, our regular saw that everyone had stopped working and was watching him with tears streaming down their faces from laughter.
