About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Zips Car Wash and asked the attendant, ‘Why do you always wave at that old lady across the street?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Oh, she’s just our regular customer who waves hello every day.' The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully before realizing something odd—he’d never seen anyone enter or exit the car wash. That’s when he noticed the sign above the entrance: "Zips Car Wash—Waves Included."
2. One day, as cars were being washed at Zips Car Wash, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘If your license plate ends in an even number, please pull forward for a special surprise!’ Curious, several drivers pulled forward, and soon the whole place was buzzing with excitement. Finally, a young delivery driver with a plate ending in '2' approached the entrance. The attendant whispered something into his ear, and out popped a giant cake decorated with frothy soap bubbles! Turns out it was Zips’ way of celebrating even-numbered plates on special days—complete with singing employees and happy customers.
3. One afternoon, while waiting for his car to be cleaned at Zips Car Wash, a regular noticed something peculiar on the conveyor belt—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Wash Me First’ with an arrow pointing towards one particular vehicle. Curious, he asked the attendant if there was any special reason why that car should be washed first. The attendant shrugged and said it must’ve been some delivery driver’s joke. Later that evening, as our regular drove past Zips, he saw the same car parked next to his own—with another note: 'Now It’s Your Turn!'
4. One night, after hours of operation, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the empty car wash bay. On the dusty shelf sat a small wooden box, its surface weathered but its lock freshly picked. Curious, he opened it and found only an old note: 'Free car wash anytime.' Turns out, it was left there by a friendly neighborhood mechanic who wanted to say thanks for always using their shop.'
