Autobell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when most car washes were quiet and empty, an old pickup truck pulled up to Autobell. The regulars inside noticed something unusual—there was no driver in sight. Suddenly, a sleepy voice came from behind them: 'Hey, guys? I’m right here!' A young delivery driver emerged from around the corner, rubbing his eyes. Everyone burst out laughing as he sheepishly explained, ‘I thought it was my stop for coffee.’

2. At closing time, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the car wash’s utility closet—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. The delivery driver opened it curiously and found inside a stack of old newspapers and an ancient VHS tape labeled ‘Top Gear’. Turns out, Autobell was just a secret fan club for classic cars. The mystery box contained memorabilia from their monthly meet-ups.

3. One night after midnight, as a delivery driver waited for his truck to dry, he heard someone whispering: ‘It knows you’re here.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The only sound came from Autobell’s neon sign, flickering ominously. Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared out of nowhere and said, 'Don’t worry, sonny! That’s just our ghostly mascot, Bellie. He likes to scare away bad drivers.' The delivery driver laughed nervously, then noticed Bellie had vanished into thin air. From that day on, whenever anyone asked why Autobell was so clean, they’d reply with a smile: 'Because even ghosts like a good car wash!'

4. One foggy afternoon, while customers were rushing through the Autobell car wash, someone asked aloud: ‘Did you see that guy who just disappeared into thin air?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, piped up: ‘He was probably just another ghost from my coffee order!’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough everyone forgot about the mysterious disappearance—except maybe for one old lady who insisted on getting her windshield cleaned extra carefully every time.’
