About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Rub-A-Dub Car Wash, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. After each car drove off, the soap dispensers would play a random song from an old jukebox hidden inside. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of classic records. He thought it was just another batch for the jukebox until he heard his favorite tune playing as he washed his truck. Turns out, every car that went through got its own serenade! Word spread, and soon neighbors came not just for clean cars but for impromptu concerts. Rub-A-Dub became famous for its musical car washes, making even the grungiest days sound like a party.

2. At Rub-A-Dub Car Wash, after every Tuesday night’s closing, employees heard an odd announcement over the PA system: ‘If your vehicle is not clean by Thursday morning, it will be entered into our annual “World’s Dirtiest Car” contest.’ No one took it seriously until… Finally, on a hot summer day, someone actually forgot their car there. A delivery driver left his truck full of ice creams, and by Thursday morning, it was covered in dust, dirt, and—surprisingly—a few birds’ nests. The next week, everyone gathered around as the poor truck won the title of 'World's Dirtiest Car,' earning its owner free detailing for life. Moral of the story? Always double-check before leaving your ride at Rub-A-Dub.

3. At Rub-A-Dub Car Wash, a little girl pointed and giggled as her dad pulled into the bay. ‘Daddy,’ she said, pointing up at the ceiling, ‘why does that bucket keep following us?’ Her father laughed and explained, ‘Honey, it’s just the squeegee arm cleaning our windshield.’ She nodded thoughtfully, then looked back up with a mischievous smile. ‘But Daddy, why is it waving at us?’

4. At Rub-A-Dub Car Wash, customers began noticing strange tire tracks on their windshields during winter storms. As it turned out, a local squirrel had taken a liking to hanging around the car wash and leaving his little paw prints everywhere. In no time, Rub-A-Dub became famous for its unique ‘squirrel art’ on windscreens—customers even started competing to see whose vehicle ended up with the most adorable furry designs.
