Mister Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the car wash conveyor belt—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading: 'For whoever finds this.' Unfazed, he opened the box carefully. Inside was another note and a single envelope. The second note read: ‘Open only if you’re bored.’ Inside the envelope lay a crumpled twenty-dollar bill and a smiley face drawn in marker. A regular must’ve left it there as a joke.

2. A curious delivery driver pulled up to Mister Car Wash one afternoon. As he waited for his turn, he glanced down and saw something odd in the wheel well of another car—an old, dusty teddy bear with a missing button eye. The delivery driver leaned closer, thinking it might be someone’s lost toy. Just then, an elderly gentleman emerged from the car next to him, grumbling about how his granddaughter had left her favorite teddy behind. The two shared a laugh, and before long, they were chatting like old friends. That evening, the delivery driver noticed a new sign above the car wash: ‘Mister Car Wash – Where Your Day Always Gets Better.’

3. One day after work, a delivery driver pulled up to Mister Car Wash. As he waited for his turn, he heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new feature is now available—your car will be washed by the same water used to clean our best customers’ pets!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but nobody seemed concerned. He drove off with a smile, thinking maybe his boss would notice the unique scent of freshly cleaned pet water on his truck. Later that week, a neighbor asked if he’d been taking his car to some fancy new car wash downtown. Turning red, he replied, 'No, I just started using Mister Car Wash.'

4. After dark, a delivery driver pulled up to Mister Car Wash and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw rows of cars being polished by invisible hands. As he watched in amazement, one of the cars suddenly started honking its horn. Startled, our delivery guy knocked over a bucket of soap suds, attracting the attention of the night manager. Turns out, it was just an old automated car wash with a glitchy sound system—nothing supernatural after all. The next day, everyone in town got a good laugh when they heard the story.
