The neighbor nodded and added, ‘I’ve been noticing that same noise every day now.’ As they peered into the tunnel, all three saw nothing but ordinary water jets spraying cars. But then, out of nowhere, a small robotic arm emerged and waved hello! Startled, everyone burst out laughing—turns out, it was just the new automated soap dispenser testing its greeting feature. Since then, IMO Car Wash has become known as the place where your vehicle gets cleaned…and possibly greeted.
