About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Ultra Clean Express Car Wash closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the empty parking lot. No one could explain where it came from or why it only occurred after midnight. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to check on the noise and found an old cat sleeping in one of the brushes. Everyone laughed when they saw her, calling her ‘Ultra Cleo’ ever since. The humming stopped as soon as someone fed her some tuna.
2. Late one afternoon, while a delivery driver waited for his truck to be cleaned, he noticed something odd—an old man emerged from behind the car wash's automatic brushes, wiping them down with a cloth. Curious, the driver approached and asked what he was doing. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'Just making sure your truck gets the best clean possible.' Turns out, it was the owner’s grandfather, who’d been helping out since before anyone could remember. The driver left with a smile, feeling like part of a special community.
3. Late one morning, as a delivery driver waited for his truck to be cleaned, he noticed an odd scent wafting through the air—something sweet and faintly familiar yet unplaceable. Curious, he followed the smell around the corner of the building and found it coming from a small garden behind the car wash. There, among the flowers, sat an old lady watering her roses with a smile on her face. ‘That’s funny,’ she said, noticing him, ‘I always get strange men sniffing my garden when I leave my window open.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Just trying to figure out what you’re growing here!’
4. Late one morning, as a delivery driver waited for his truck to be cleaned, he noticed something peculiar: every time he drove away from Ultra Clean Express, his empty gas tank miraculously filled up with just enough fuel to get him home. Finally curious, our delivery driver asked around. Turned out that every morning, an anonymous neighbor would drive by and top off everyone’s tanks before heading to work. As the sun set on another day, the delivery driver smiled, knowing that Ultra Clean Express wasn’t just a car wash—it was also a place where kindness got washed in too.
