About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Mobil one morning, cradling a tray of hot coffee for an early customer. As he approached the car wash tunnel, something strange happened. As he drove through, the delivery driver noticed his coffee was getting cooler with each passing second. Suddenly, from behind the wheel, he heard a voice saying, 'Hot enough for ya?' It turned out to be just his neighbor, washing his own car and enjoying the same warm beverage. They both laughed it off, shared their coffees, and finished the car wash as friends.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were still dark, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil with an unusual load: a crate of live ducks. As he unloaded them into the wash bay, a nearby mechanic overheard and burst out laughing. ‘What are you doing?’ he asked. The driver shrugged, grinning. 'Just following orders,’ he replied. Later that day, as word spread around town, everyone agreed it was either the strangest or funniest car wash ever—maybe both.

3. At dusk, when cars began streaming home, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘Why does that old Mobil always smell like fresh-baked cookies?’ Inside, an anonymous worker smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'It's our secret recipe—water, soap, and a touch of vanilla!' The neighbor shrugged it off until one day, while waiting for his car, he caught a whiff of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies wafting from inside. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the Mobil, everyone would smile and say, “Ah, yes—the place where they bake their own car washes!”

4. At midnight, when city streets fall silent, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil. The air was filled with an odd, sweet scent—a whiff of cotton candy so strong it seemed to float out of thin air. As he approached the cashier’s booth, he noticed a small sign reading ‘Free Cotton Candy Every Night.’ With a smile, he paid for his wash and took a sugary bite—only to realize it wasn’t cotton candy at all but ordinary bubble gum. Laughing, he drove off into the night, leaving behind him a trail of chewed-up pink wrappers.
