About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Sunnyside Car Wash closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the neighborhood. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, puzzled as he waited for his truck to dry. Curious, the delivery driver approached the building and peered inside. To his surprise, he saw a small, glowing robot vacuuming the floor with an enthusiastic beep-beep. ‘Hello there!’ said the robot cheerfully. ‘I’m just making sure everything is clean for our next customers.’ The driver laughed and shook his head, deciding that maybe Sunnyside Car Wash had hired the friendliest janitor ever.
2. One morning, while a little girl waited for her dad's car to dry, she noticed something peculiar: every time the automatic brushes touched the windshield, they left behind tiny rainbows. Curious, she followed the rainbows and discovered that each brush was painted with different colors of enamel paint. Soon, customers started noticing the colorful streaks on their cars, causing quite a stir. The owner shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just our secret touch!' And so, Sunnyside Car Wash became famous for its rainbow-washed cars.
3. In the early hours of every Sunday morning, a mysterious package appeared on the carwash’s loading dock. It always contained an identical stack of old newspapers from the 1980s, neatly wrapped in brown paper and twine. One day, a curious employee decided to peek inside the package. Inside was an old newspaper article about a new restaurant opening nearby. The next week, the same package arrived again—this time with coupons for free carwashes! Word spread quickly among the neighbors, who started dropping off their cars even before they were dirty. Soon enough, Sunnyside Car Wash became the busiest place on Sundays, thanks to its weekly ‘mystery deliveries’.
4. At closing time one Friday, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Do you ever see those glowing headlights in the sky after we close?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled, replying casually, 'Nah, must be your imagination playing tricks.' Just then, an old neighbor walked by, laughing, 'Or maybe it's just those damn streetlights reflecting off your wet cars!' Everyone laughed, and the delivery driver shook his head, muttering good-naturedly as he left: 'Next time I'll believe anything but that car wash is haunted.'
