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 odd humming sound coming from inside Zips Car Wash. It grew louder with each passing minute until it resembled a swarm of bees on speed. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a delivery driver frantically waving his arms, trying to signal something. Turns out, his phone had slipped into one of those spinning brushes—and was now tangled in its mechanical dance! Everyone had a good laugh as they watched the hapless driver retrieve his smartphone, still vibrating like a tiny little DJ.

2. While waiting for his car to dry one afternoon, a regular heard something unusual over the loud speaker: ‘If your license plate ends in an even number, please exit through the left tunnel.’ Curious drivers soon discovered that odd-numbered plates had their own right-side tunnel. A delivery driver with a number 9 plate was confused and asked why he couldn’t use the left tunnel. A friendly attendant replied, 'Sir, it’s not about numbers—we just like seeing you struggle!' The whole place erupted in laughter as everyone realized Zips Car Wash had turned into a quirky neighborhood hangout.

3. While standing under the warm air dryer, a delivery driver suddenly felt something strange tickling his neck. Curious, he looked up and saw a tiny hand waving from above. The hand was holding a small note that read, ‘Hey, could you please turn off the water? It’s dripping on my garage!’ The delivery driver laughed and obliged, realizing he wasn’t going crazy after all.

4. One foggy morning, while waiting for his car to be cleaned, a regular could’ve sworn he saw someone waving from inside the building. Curious, our regular approached the door and called out, but only heard a faint ‘thank you’ in reply. Turned out it was just a delivery driver who’d accidentally locked himself in while taking a quick nap during work. The whole town had a good laugh over that one.
