About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his car to be washed, a regular noticed an old, dusty guitar case propped against the wall. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a faded note that read: ‘Leave your worries here.’ Smiling, he placed his troubles in the case and walked away feeling lighter. Later that day, as he drove past Sawyer Car Wash, he saw a delivery driver laughing and strumming a catchy tune on a brand-new guitar. Turned out, someone had left their joy there earlier.

2. While waiting for his car to dry, a regular called out, ‘Hey, I think that water is following me!’ Everyone looked up and saw drops of water mysteriously appearing on his clothes before anyone’s eyes. Suddenly, another voice chimed in: ‘Me too!’ A delivery driver shook his head as droplets started forming on his hat. People laughed, realizing it was just a humid day. The regular grinned and said, ‘Guess we’re all getting wet today—except maybe my car.’

3. While waiting for her car to be cleaned, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The car wash is talking!' The mother looked up curiously but saw nothing unusual. Then she heard it too—a soft, almost shy voice coming from behind the brushes: ‘Please be gentle with my paint job.’ Everyone laughed, including the workers who were cleaning cars nearby. Turned out, an old delivery driver had installed a small speaker in the car wash, playing humorous messages to entertain customers.

4. While waiting for his car to be washed, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why does Sawyer Car Wash always seem so foggy inside?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘That’s because we keep our windows closed during winter to conserve heat.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he’d been fooled by a simple trick of insulation—and maybe a little fog machine for ambiance.
