About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Buckeye Express Car Wash with a box of donuts for the staff. As he approached the automatic vacuums, something odd happened—all the brushes stopped mid-spin and pointed towards him like curious fingers. The driver looked around nervously, but everything else seemed normal. He shrugged it off as a fluke and entered the building. Later that evening, his wife found him staring blankly at their kitchen counter, still holding a donut. ‘What’s wrong?’ she asked. ‘Nothing,’ he replied, ‘just thinking about those damn car brushes.’
2. One morning, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Why does your car wash smell like pancakes?’ The worker shrugged and replied, ‘Must be something in the soap.’ Since then, customers have been sniffing suspiciously every time they leave. Finally, an old delivery driver confessed, ‘I bring my breakfast here every morning—who could resist those fresh pancakes wafting through the air!’ Ever since then, Buckeye Express has become known not just for its thorough washes but also for its irresistible aroma of breakfast.
3. At dawn, a jogger passing Buckeye Express noticed something peculiar: every Monday and Thursday, the car wash emitted a soft humming sound, almost like an old-fashioned jukebox playing deep in the night. Curious, the jogger told a delivery driver about it, who swore he’d heard the same thing while making his rounds. Soon enough, word spread among neighbors until one day, an elderly gentleman approached the manager. ‘Son,’ he said, rubbing his chin, ‘that’s no ordinary hum—it sounds like my old Victrola!’ Turns out, decades ago, someone had accidentally left their vintage record player inside the car wash building.
4. At closing time, an employee locked up Buckeye Express Car Wash and walked home. On his way, he heard someone whispering from inside: ‘Don’t forget to turn off the water!’ He ignored it at first, but then he swore he saw a shadow move in one of the booths. Curious, he turned around—and found himself face-to-face with a delivery driver who’d just finished washing his truck. They both laughed it off, and the employee realized that maybe the place wasn’t haunted after all.
