About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while waiting for his car to be washed, a regular heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your vehicle may contain hidden treasure!’ Since then, everyone has been checking their cars for gold coins. A few days later, a delivery driver found an old coin and thought he struck gold. He rushed inside excitedly only to discover it was just an ordinary penny. Meanwhile, a neighbor claimed she saw a sparkle in her rearview mirror—a reflection from the sun on a nearby billboard.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were still sleeping, a delivery driver pulled up to BP's car wash. The water jets seemed unusually quiet that morning. As he approached the exit, the delivery driver noticed his truck was cleaner than ever before—even the windshield wipers looked freshly polished. Smiling, he turned around and saw an old man in overalls waving cheerfully from behind the wheelhouse. ‘Morning, neighbor!’ said the man. ‘Just wanted to make sure your ride looks as sharp as you do.’

3. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to BP to fill his tank. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd—a small metal box had appeared on the parking lot bench. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained old photos of long-forgotten employees. Smiling, he flipped through them, finding one photo that looked suspiciously like the owner’s dog. ‘Hey, Rex!’ he exclaimed. The dog pranced over curiously, sniffing the photos then wagged its tail in agreement—obviously recognizing himself from decades ago.

4. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures washing cars here after closing?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Nah, never seen anything like that.’ But as he turned around, he noticed a shadowy figure polishing a car in the corner. Startled, he called out, ‘Hey! Who’s there?’ A sleepy voice replied, ‘Just doing my nightly routine, mate.’ Turns out it was just a neighborhood dog, cleaning off his paws on an old sponge left behind.
