About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Zips Car Wash, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence: whenever a little boy named Max came in with his dad, the water jets would suddenly start dancing and spraying in patterns that looked like they were following Max's toy cars. No one could explain it. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a brand-new truck. He parked next to Max’s car, and when he turned around, the water jets started chasing after his shiny new wheels! Everyone laughed as the driver tried to clean both his truck and Max’s car simultaneously. It became known as ‘the day Zips Car Wash met its match.’

2. Have you ever seen anyone so determined? Every Tuesday afternoon, a delivery driver would pull up to Zips Car Wash with the same question: ‘Why does that old lady always wave at me?’ Finally, one day, curious about her waves, he slowed down and asked what it was all about. She smiled warmly and replied, 'I just like seeing your smile when I do it!' Turns out she was his grandmother who lived nearby.

3. At Zips Car Wash, every Wednesday morning around 8 AM, an elderly gentleman in a tweed suit would arrive with a small basket filled with freshly baked cookies. One day, a delivery driver arrived early and decided to peek inside. To his surprise, he found only an empty basket and an old note reading: 'Sorry, I missed you again! Enjoy the cookies anyway.' The driver chuckled and drove off, wondering if anyone else had ever seen this mysterious gentleman.

4. At Zips Car Wash, every Thursday night after dark, a mysterious figure in a raincoat would emerge from behind the building and carefully place small potted plants along the fence. One Thursday evening, a delivery driver noticed the figure and decided to follow discreetly. Turned out it was just an enthusiastic gardener who lived nearby, watering his secret collection of succulents before placing them along the fence as a surprise for passersby. From then on, everyone called him ‘Mr. Green Fingers,’ and Zips Car Wash became known not only for its thorough cleaning but also for its charming little garden display.
