About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and said to himself, ‘I bet I can fit my entire truck inside that tiny car wash tunnel.’ So he backed in, engine revving, tires squealing—just as a neighbor walked by with his morning coffee. The car wash doors closed with a clang, trapping them both inside. For five minutes, chaos ensued until someone noticed the smoke coming from under the hood of the truck. Turns out, the delivery driver had managed to get stuck, but everyone had a good laugh about it later.

2. A neighborhood dog, famous for its mischief, would often dash into the BP car wash just as cars were being cleaned. Each time, the startled workers would yell, 'Watch out!' but the canine never seemed to mind. One day, a delivery driver arrived with his pet parrot on his shoulder. The bird, noticing the commotion, squawked, ‘Get outta there, dog!’ Startled, everyone looked up—and found themselves cleaning a car covered in feathers and seed shells.

3. While washing his car one Sunday, a regular muttered under his breath, 'Why does it always take forever?' Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned those exact words near the BP car wash, their vehicle would inexplicably get dirtier. One Monday morning, a delivery driver growled, ‘Finally, some peace and quiet!’ His truck emerged from the car wash coated in fresh mud, as if nature itself had conspired against him. The next day, everyone started whispering, ‘Maybe we should just say “thank you” instead?’

4. While waiting in line at BP, an elderly gentleman complained aloud, 'Why do I always get the slowest hose?' Just then, a young delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because your car is washing itself!’ The old man paused for a moment, smiled, and shook his head with good-natured amusement.
