About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At National Car Wash, a little boy named Timmy always ran in circles around the hoses, laughing as they sprayed water everywhere. One day, after he’d done it again, an older man cleaning his truck noticed something strange—every time Timmy passed under the high-pressure nozzle, his hair stood straight up like a miniature pufferfish! The owner of the car wash, Mr. Johnson, watched with amusement and curiosity. He approached Timmy gently and asked if he wanted to help out for some snacks. From that day on, every time someone needed their vehicle cleaned, they’d see Timmy standing proudly next to the hose, making sure everyone’s hair got a little extra bounce.

2. At National Car Wash, every Wednesday afternoon, a delivery driver would arrive with an unusual cargo: a small potted plant that he placed next to the cash register. No one knew whose it was or why, but soon everyone started calling it ‘the lucky plant.’ One day, an old neighbor stopped in and asked if he could water the plant. After a few weeks, the plant grew so big they had to move it outside. Soon enough, customers started noticing their cars were cleaner than ever before on Wednesdays. The legend spread: ‘National Car Wash’s Lucky Plant’ ensured perfect washes!

3. At National Car Wash, on foggy mornings, a mysterious figure dressed entirely in white would emerge from behind the building and wave at customers as they drove through. One day, an excited delivery driver waved back so enthusiastically that he accidentally tipped over his coffee, splashing it everywhere. As he sheepishly apologized, the figure just smiled and wiped off the drops with a white cloth, leaving everyone with a hearty laugh.

4. At National Car Wash, every Tuesday night, a strange noise like distant thunder could be heard just after closing time. One Tuesday, an old neighbor stopped by and asked what that weird sound was. Turned out it was just the owner’s parrot practicing his thunderstorm impression. Everyone laughed, including the bird, who joined in for good measure.
