About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Auto Spa’s lights flickered on, a neighborhood dog would suddenly stop barking and stare intently into the darkness. No one knew why. One night, a delivery driver pulled in for a quick wash. As he watched, the dog trotted over, sniffed around the car, then jumped up and started licking the windshield clean! The driver laughed so hard he almost missed his delivery. From then on, everyone called it ‘the magical Auto Spa’.

2. At closing time, when the Auto Spa’s sirens blared, an old man always shouted, ‘Finally, my haircut is done!’ One day, a delivery driver complained, ‘My package got here wetter than I am!’ The old man replied, wiping water from his face, ‘Son, you’re supposed to be delivered dry—we’re just polishing your ride!’ And they both laughed so hard that even the Auto Spa’s squeegees joined in.

3. At closing time, when the Auto Spa’s sirens blared, a delivery driver started leaving his package just outside the entrance—always in exactly the same spot. One day, an old neighbor walked by and asked what was taking so long. The delivery driver sheepishly explained that he always left it there because ‘that’s where they said to put it.’ They both laughed, realizing the Auto Spa had become part of their daily routine.

4. At closing time, when the Auto Spa’s sirens blared, a mysterious voice over the loudspeaker announced, ‘Your car is now clean—so clean you can eat off it!’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up, muttering under his breath. After the usual announcement, he got out and stretched, only to see his pizza box sliding across the hood. Smiling sheepishly, he muttered, 'Guess I’ll just have to order double tomorrow.'
