About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Carnation Auto Spa, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence after their cars were washed. A little terrier named Max would appear from nowhere and dash towards each freshly cleaned vehicle, sniffing enthusiastically before bounding off again. No one knew where he came from or why he did it, but everyone agreed—Max had discovered the best-smelling car wash in town. One day, a delivery driver commented, ‘Max must be sniffing for his lost bone!’ But then another customer joked, ‘Maybe he’s just checking if our cars are as clean as they smell.’ Soon, Max became a local legend—everyone waved at him as he raced around, and someone even started leaving small treats near the exit. The real mystery remained unsolved, but no one cared anymore; Carnation Auto Spa was simply known as the place where your car got not only clean but also greeted by a happy little dog.
2. At Carnation Auto Spa, customers began noticing something peculiar every Wednesday afternoon. As cars emerged from the tunnel, drivers would catch a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. One Wednesday, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s that sweet smell?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Just our secret recipe for attracting happy customers!’ Turns out, it was actually just a delivery driver who left a batch of cookies in the car wash office by mistake.
3. At Carnation Auto Spa, a regular always picked up an unexpected passenger while waiting for his car to dry—an adorable stray kitten that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Finally, one day the regular arrived and found not just one but three kittens playing in front of him. He smiled, reached down gently, and carried them inside. It turned out they belonged to none other than the spa’s owner—a soft-spoken delivery driver who’d been secretly fostering them until they found homes. The regular laughed, shaking his head: ‘Guess I’ll never be late again.’
4. At Carnation Auto Spa, a delivery driver once found a mysterious package in the backseat of his freshly washed car. Curious but cautious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a note reading ‘Happy cleaning!’ Upon closer inspection, the note was signed with a doodle resembling a smiling sun and the words ‘Wash on!’ The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off, wondering if maybe someone from Carnation Auto Spa had a sense of humour after all.
