About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to BP for a quick wash. As he watched, the water jets began humming like bees—an eerie yet amusing sound that made him laugh. The next morning, neighbors reported hearing the same buzzing from their homes. Turns out, the water pump had malfunctioned and was emitting high-pitched vibrations. Soon after, everyone in town started laughing along with it—they even named the sound ‘BP’s Happy Hum.’

2. One morning, a regular stopped in for his usual early wash. The attendant noticed something strange—every time he drove away, his car seemed cleaner than when it arrived. The attendant decided to investigate and found that, unbeknownst to everyone, a friendly squirrel had been sneaking into the shop each night, gathering soap bubbles from the nozzle and polishing cars with them before they could dry. When the regular finally left, his car was so clean you could see your face clearly in its glossy finish—and so did everyone else on the road. Since then, customers started calling the place ‘Bubble Wash’.

3. A little boy followed his dad into the BP car wash one Saturday afternoon. As the water blasted off his car, something strange happened—his dog started barking wildly and jumping around, pointing towards the ceiling. The father looked up, confused, and saw a pigeon perched on the ceiling, staring right back at them. The dog calmed down instantly. A nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Guess who was washing their bird today!'

4. Early one autumn morning, a neighborhood dog started visiting the BP car wash every day. No one knew why he insisted on getting cleaned exactly there—until they saw him emerge sparkling dry and with a new friend, a tiny goldfish in his mouth. Soon enough, the other dogs took notice and began showing up too. Word spread quickly among the neighbors, who’d drive their cars over just for the spectacle. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an extra passenger—a live goldfish bowl in the backseat. Turned out, it was the little fish’s first visit to the legendary BP car wash, where dogs and fish now met as friends.
