About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP for a quick clean. As he stepped out, something glinted in the sun from under the car wash nozzle. Curious, he bent down and picked it up—a small, golden key with an old-fashioned design. With a puzzled smile, he tried the key in his truck’s ignition—click—and suddenly, the engine roared to life after weeks of silence. Back home, neighbors gathered around, joking that maybe BP had installed secret miniature mechanics. The delivery driver kept the key as a lucky charm, never revealing its origins.

2. While waiting for his car to be washed, an elderly gentleman overheard the attendant muttering something about ‘the ghost of old Mr. Brown.’ Curious, he asked what that meant. The attendant replied, ‘He always tips well…’ Finally, the old man’s car was clean, and as he left, the attendant whispered, ‘And don’t forget to say hello to Mr. Brown on your way out!’ Turns out, every time someone mentioned Mr. Brown, everyone laughed—because it was just a friendly neighborhood dog who loved hanging around the car wash.

3. While waiting for his car to dry, a delivery driver noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said to the attendant, ‘I thought you were supposed to clean cars here, not make them look like they’ve been in a race!’ The attendant grinned sheepishly. 'Oh, that’s just our special “Turbo Shine” treatment,' he explained. The driver shook his head with a smile and replied, 'Next time, maybe try it on your own car first!'

4. While waiting for his car to be cleaned, a delivery driver noticed that one of the workers kept humming the same tune. Curious, he asked: ‘Is that “My Bonnie” you’re singing?’ The worker smiled and nodded. 'Yep, it is!' he said, wiping suds from his hands. 'It's my favorite song.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing they shared a musical bond. As they chatted, the worker mentioned casually, 'You know, I wrote a whole playlist of classic tunes just for our customers.' Turned out, this was no ordinary car wash—it had its own in-house jukebox of oldies!
