About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Car Wash and asked the attendant, ‘Hey, did you see that old lady drive through here last night?’ The attendant shook his head. ‘No way,’ he replied. But as they watched, another car emerged from the tunnel with an umbrella unfurling from its roof. The attendant laughed and said, ‘That’s just Mrs. Johnson next door—she does it every time she comes in.’ A few minutes later, another car drove out with a basket of groceries on top. The delivery driver turned to the attendant and joked, ‘At least now I know why my order was always late!’

2. While waiting for his truck to be washed, a delivery driver joked with the attendant: ‘You know, I bet if you could clean off these miles, my odometer would go back to zero.’ The next day, the numbers on his dashboard did indeed reset—though not everyone believed it was just a coincidence. A few days later, another delivery driver noticed something strange happening across town. His neighbor’s odometer also mysteriously rewound after visiting H-E-B Car Wash. Soon, everyone in the area started racing their trucks there, hoping for a reset. But only one lucky guy got his odometer to zero—everyone else ended up with negative mileage and confused insurance agents.

3. A delivery driver pulled into H-E-B Car Wash one afternoon, checking his watch impatiently. As he waited in line, he noticed something odd on the conveyor belt—a tiny, perfectly folded American flag. Nobody else seemed to notice it. Finally, his turn came, and as the car washed by, he saw the flag disappear into a nearby bush. Curious, he asked the attendant if they’d seen anything unusual. With a smile, the attendant replied, ‘Oh yeah, that’s just Mr. Johnson’s secret patriotic touch—he loves making sure everyone leaves here feeling proud.’

4. While waiting for his truck to be cleaned, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the car wash floor—a tiny, perfectly folded American flag. No one seemed to notice it but him. Curious, he picked up the flag and carefully placed it in his cab. Later that day, while unloading groceries, he accidentally left it on top of the truck bed. His next-door neighbor teased him for days, claiming it was a sign from above that he should finally fly his own flagpole. The delivery driver just grinned, knowing he’d found more than just a little flag—maybe a reason to smile.
