Hollywood Stars Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver waited for his truck to be washed, he noticed an unusual scent wafting from the nearby building. Curious, he followed the aroma and found himself in a hallway filled with old movie posters—none of which seemed real. As he peered closer, he saw that each poster had a tiny button next to it. Thinking it was some kind of prank, he pressed one randomly—and suddenly, Marlon Brando’s face lit up like a neon sign! Startled, our hero fled back outside just as the owner appeared, yelling, ‘Hey! That’s Mr. Clean over there!’

2. A little boy ran into the car wash one day, pointing excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Daddy,’ he exclaimed, ‘why are those stars following us?’ His dad smiled and replied, ‘Son, they’re not following us—those are just Hollywood Stars on the ceiling.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘So why do you think they put them there?’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled and answered, ‘To make sure no one ever forgets where they are!’

3. One afternoon, a neighborhood dog dashed into the car wash, stopping abruptly and staring intently at something only he could see. The workers exchanged puzzled glances as the canine stood motionless, tail wagging furiously. Suddenly, an old delivery driver emerged from around the corner, wiping his hands on a rag. ‘Hey, Rex,’ he called out, ‘you’re always finding trouble!’ The dog trotted over, tail still wagging, and the worker ruffled his ears with a smile. The workers shook their heads, laughing softly, while the dog returned to his post, ready for another day’s adventure.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Hollywood Stars Car Wash, humming along to the classic rock playing over the speakers. As he stepped inside, something caught his eye—a strange shadow flickering behind the sudsy water. Curious, he peered closer and saw nothing but a dancing reflection of the old jukebox on the wall. Shaking his head with a smile, he finished washing his truck and drove off, muttering that some places really do have more character than others.
