Piccadilly Hand Carwash & Detailing

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Last week, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Why does your hand carwash always smell like cookies?’ No one could explain it. Finally, an intern suggested that maybe they were baking cookies in the back room and their scent was wafting through the air vents. The owner shook his head and said, 'No, sonny, we just use special cookie-scented soap.' Everyone laughed, including the guy who’d been asking the question for months.

2. Last weekend, while waiting for his truck to dry, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the empty wheelbarrows near the exit. Curious, he picked it up and found an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Miracle Cleaner.’ Nobody seemed to notice or mind its presence. Intrigued, the driver squirted some Miracle Cleaner onto his dirty truck and watched in amazement as dirt simply melted away. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was using their own secret stash of Miracle Cleaner—until one day, a neighbor asked where they could buy some. The owner shrugged, laughing, 'It's just water with a bit of lemon juice.' Everyone cracked up, realizing that Piccadilly’s legendary cleaner was nothing more than a prank—and now, every Saturday, someone brings a fresh batch of lemons for good measure.

3. Last night, a neighbor pulled into Piccadilly and exclaimed, 'I thought you guys were out of business!' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Nope, just running on silent mode.' A delivery driver walked in, dripping water from his freshly washed truck. ‘What took so long?’ he asked jokingly. The attendant grinned, ‘We’ve been here all along—just making sure your truck sparkles like our secret formula.’

4. Last Friday, an anxious driver rushed in after seeing his car’s headlights flickering ominously. The attendant calmly nodded him through, but as he walked back outside, he noticed something odd on the drying rack—a tiny, perfectly formed plastic model of a vintage muscle car. As the driver approached his car, he saw another small surprise: a miniature bottle of hand sanitizer with a note reading, ‘Wash safely!’ Turns out, it was just their new employee pranking everyone. Everyone had a good laugh—and now they leave extra tips.’
