About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chopper’s Carwash, a regular noticed something odd one morning. As he waited for his truck to dry, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, all drivers with bikes on their roof racks—your side mirrors are now part of our permanent collection.’ Over the next few days, more and more motorcycles appeared, each with its distinctive chrome and paint job added to the growing art installation. Soon enough, Chopper’s Carwash became famous as much for its unique collection as for its efficient service. A local delivery driver even proudly declared, 'Now my bike looks like it belongs in a museum!'

2. At Chopper’s Carwash, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and noticed an unusual sound coming from the ceiling of the waiting room. Curious, he leaned closer—only to discover rows upon rows of tiny plastic ducks, each chirping in perfect harmony. As he watched, the little ducks’ chorus grew louder, almost like they were singing along to some unheard tune. The driver smiled, shook his head, and left, never mentioning it again—not even when his friend asked why he always seemed so happy after visiting Chopper’s Carwash.

3. At Chopper’s Carwash, a delivery driver pulled up one day and noticed an unusual message on the sign: ‘Wash your car today, get a free cookie tomorrow.’ Curious customers started coming back not for clean cars but for cookies, leaving the staff scrambling to bake batches overnight. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were stopping by just for cookies. One morning, a sleepy-eyed customer asked if they could skip the car wash entirely—just give him a cookie now. The staff laughed it off until the owner realized he was their regular milkman. From then on, everyone knew Chopper’s Carwash as much for its baked goods as for its sudsy water.

4. At Chopper’s Carwash, a delivery driver pulled up one night and noticed an unusual shadow moving between cars. Curious, he slowed down, only to see a neighborhood cat lazily jumping from hood to hood, chasing its own tail in the carwash lights. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about cats always landing on their feet—even when trying to start a water fight.
