About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little boy named Timmy was waiting for his dad in front of the BP car wash one afternoon. Suddenly, he noticed something strange—a small dog kept running towards the automatic brushes, wagging its tail excitedly and trying to get washed. Just as Timmy reached out to help, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if everything was okay. The dog, now thoroughly wet but happy, jumped into the truck bed, and off they went. A few minutes later, the driver returned with a towel and apologized profusely. It turned out the dog belonged to him, and he’d been searching frantically around town. Everyone had a good laugh, and Timmy got a free car wash for being such a hero.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP to fill his tank. As he walked inside, he noticed something unusual—a small wooden bird perched on top of the cash register. Nobody seemed to notice it, but every time someone paid with exact change, the bird would chirp and wave its beak. Curious, our delivery driver decided to pay with exact change just once—immediately, the little bird chirped cheerfully and waved its tiny beak in greeting. From then on, whenever anyone used precise coins, the bird would perform its little dance, bringing smiles to everyone who saw it. Soon enough, BP became known as ‘Bird’s Bath’ among locals, attracting not only cars but also neighbors eager to witness the daily spectacle.

3. One foggy morning, an old man parked his car at BP and entered the car wash without turning on his headlights. As he emerged from the dark tunnel, the old man rubbed his eyes and asked the attendant, ‘Why is it so bright in here?’ The attendant grinned, ‘Sir, you’re the first customer today—we turned on all the lights for you!’

4. A neighborhood dog, famous for his mischief, one day found himself locked inside the car wash tunnel. Employees tried everything to coax him out, but he just barked back, demanding attention from passersby. Finally, a delivery driver noticed the commotion and suggested using a hose to gently guide the dog out. Reluctantly, an employee turned on the water, and soon enough, the curious canine emerged, dripping wet but grinning like an adventurer. The whole neighborhood laughed as the dog shook off, wagging his tail and trotting away with his head held high.
