About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when Carolina Auto Spa usually hummed with activity, an old pickup truck pulled in for its weekly wash. The owner noticed something peculiar: the water from the sprayers seemed to part around the vehicle as if avoiding it altogether. Curious, the owner approached and saw that the truck was covered in a thick layer of mud, but there was no water on the ground—just a small puddle forming near the wheels. Suddenly, the delivery driver emerged from behind the wheel, grinning sheepishly. 'I guess my truck has its own little drought,' he said, wiping sweat off his forehead. Everyone laughed, and the car wash continued as usual—except now they kept a bucket of water handy just in case.
2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the attendant, ‘Why does your car wash always smell like bacon?’ The attendant grinned and replied, 'Because every morning, before opening, I sneak in and cook myself some bacon. The smell just sticks around.' A regular passing by nodded knowingly, adding, 'And don’t forget—they use it as an extra attractor for those pesky birds that hang out during the day!'
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the attendant, ‘Why does your sign say “Wash Your Car or We’ll Wash Your Dog”?’ The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Simple, sir. If you don’t clean up after yourself, we make sure Fido gets a bath instead!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement.
4. In the early hours of the morning, before Carolina Auto Spa opened its doors, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Curious, he picked it up and took it inside. Later that day, while washing cars, an employee found a note inside reading: ‘To our best customer—thanks for always leaving the windows open!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from a regular who liked their car dry.
