About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in Los Angeles when a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil car wash. The sun was just rising over the city, casting strange shadows on the usually bustling streets. As the water jets hit his truck, the delivery driver noticed something odd—his neighbor’s dog had run into the car wash area and was now happily splashing around! Alarmed at first, he quickly realized that everyone else was laughing too hard to help him. So, with a shrug, he finished washing his own vehicle and walked away, muttering something about ‘another typical Monday’.

2. A sign outside the Mobil car wash read ‘Wash Your Car, Not Your Dog.’ One day, a neighbor asked aloud: ‘What if I want to wash my dog here?’ The attendant looked up from his newspaper and replied with a straight face, 'Sir, our dog-washing services are currently under maintenance.' The neighbor shrugged and said, 'Oh well, guess I'll just take him home then,' as he walked away whistling. A few minutes later, a delivery driver pulled in, asking curiously, 'Hey, what’s with that “not your dog” sign?'

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into the Mobil car wash and noticed something odd: the automated voice announced, 'For best results, please sing along with your favorite song.' The delivery driver laughed and thought it was some kind of prank. As he sang along with his favorite oldies tune, the water jets suddenly synchronized perfectly with the beat. Satisfied customers started appearing from nowhere, clapping and smiling. The whole neighborhood joined in, turning the car wash into an impromptu karaoke party until the sun rose fully.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into the Mobil car wash, drawn by the eerie glow of its neon lights. As he approached the entrance, he heard soft laughter echoing from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty benches and shining floors. Suddenly, an old radio started playing softly in the background. ‘Welcome home,’ it seemed to say. Relieved, the driver left, never realizing that his own reflection had been laughing at him all along.
