About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be cleaned, he noticed something strange coming from the North Hills Car Wash: an eerie humming sound like distant bees, but louder and more insistent. Curious, the driver approached the entrance and peered inside. To his surprise, he saw nothing unusual—just a group of workers polishing cars. Shrugging it off as nothing, he returned to his truck. Later that day, while driving home, he heard the same humming again. This time, it seemed to come from his own engine. Turned out, it was just the radio on full blast.

2. One day, as a delivery driver waited for his van to be washed, he noticed something peculiar on the car wash’s counter. A small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Prizes’ caught his eye. Curious, he opened it and found…nothing but an old, rusted keychain shaped like a dinosaur. He shrugged, thinking maybe it was just some prank left over from high school. But every time he returned to North Hills Car Wash, there it was—an identical dinosaur keychain, always in that same dusty box. Finally, one day, while washing his car, he decided to keep it. And ever since then, whenever anyone asked him where he got such a strange souvenir, he’d wink and say, 'From the friendliest car wash in town!'

3. At dawn, when most North Hills residents were still dreaming, an old man arrived at the car wash. He pushed a shopping cart filled with bottles and cans, humming an unfamiliar tune. He approached the attendant’s booth and asked for a quick rinse. The night watchman smiled and shook his head, replying that it was too early even for him. The old man simply nodded, finished his song, and walked away, leaving behind an empty bottle of lemon-scented cleaner—obviously meant as a tip.

4. At dawn, when most North Hills residents were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the North Hills Car Wash with his truck. As he waited for it to be cleaned, he noticed something odd on the sign above the entrance: ‘Your vehicle will be clean enough to marry.’ Curious, he asked the attendant what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, the guy replied, 'Well, sir, it's our little joke around here—if your car looks this good after washing, you can propose to your girlfriend!' The delivery driver left laughing, thinking maybe his truck was cleaner than his chances.
