About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when most car washes were quiet and empty, Tommy’s suddenly erupted with music so loud it could be heard blocks away. A delivery driver, thinking it was his radio, turned up the volume even more. Suddenly, everyone in town knew not only that Tommy’s Car Wash existed but also that its playlist was out of this world. By sunrise, Tommy had a new nickname—’The Rockin’ Washer.’
2. At dusk one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Tommy's Car Wash. As he waited for his turn, he noticed an old toolbox on the service bay floor. Curious, he picked it up—and found a stack of vintage postcards inside. Turns out, those were postcards from Tommy’s childhood home in California. The delivery guy ended up keeping them as a souvenir, and ever since then, whenever someone mentions Tommy’s Car Wash, they always ask if they can see those funny old cards. Now, every now and then, when a neighbor drops off their car, they might hear Tommy whispering to himself, ‘Hey, remember that time I found these?’
3. At midnight, when the streets of Detroit fell silent, a delivery driver pulled up to Tommy’s Car Wash. As he stepped out, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows. The shadowy figure approached with a mischievous glint in its eye and whispered, ‘Need some extra shine tonight?’ The delivery driver laughed nervously but agreed. Suddenly, his car sparkled like never before—so much so that it caught the attention of every passing cop. A few minutes later, as they drove away, someone shouted from behind, ‘Hey Tommy, you missed a spot!’
4. At sunset one day, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into Tommy’s Car Wash for a quick break. On the wet floor, amidst buckets and sponges, he noticed something strange—a tiny envelope taped to the wall. Curious, he picked it up and opened it—inside was just a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please don’t tell Mom I left my toy here.’ Below was a small plastic dinosaur. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and placed both back where they belonged.
