About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron’s automated car wash. As he walked back to his truck, he noticed something odd—a small wooden box had appeared on the parking lot bench. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside: ‘Take care of this for me.’ The delivery driver opened the box carefully and discovered a tiny teddy bear wearing a little red hat. Smiling, he thought, 'Who left this cute thing here?' Later that day, while washing cars, he heard someone laughing from behind him. Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman waving cheerfully and saying, “Thanks for taking such good care of my grandson's gift!”

2. A local mechanic noticed something peculiar one afternoon while washing his truck at Chevron. The water jets seemed to be aiming at him with unusual precision, as if they were trying to get his attention. Curious, he stopped and looked around, but everything appeared normal. Just an old car wash, after all. Suddenly, a nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Must’ve been those new nozzles they installed last week.’ Relieved, our mechanic shook his head and laughed, realizing it was just another urban legend—until next time someone else claimed their car wash had a mind of its own.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron’s car wash and noticed an old, dusty guitar case on the ground near the exit. Curious, he picked it up—only to hear a faint tune coming from inside. He opened it carefully, revealing an ancient acoustic guitar with rusted strings. As he tuned them up, a soft melody started playing—a song nobody recognized but everyone loved. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood musician’s forgotten instrument. From then on, whenever someone needed cheering up, they’d visit Chevron for more than just a clean car.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron’s early-morning car wash. The quiet hum of the brushes suddenly changed pitch, as if greeting him in a strange, mechanical song. As he drove away, the water jets whispered goodbye in their own language. That night, the same delivery driver noticed his truck was cleaner than ever before—even his neighbor teased him about it. Turns out, Chevron's morning serenade had become quite the neighborhood secret.
