About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the car wash queue: an old, dusty guitar case had appeared on the conveyor belt. No one claimed it, and every day after that, another strange item joined the line—an ancient board game, a forgotten toolbox, even a small potted plant. Finally, one day, a tiny teddy bear wearing a little hat emerged from the tunnel. The manager declared it was time for an investigation. Turned out, these items belonged to a regular who’d accidentally left them there weeks ago. Since then, Fast5Xpress started a tradition: whenever someone forgot something, they got a free wash and a box of donuts from their friendly neighborhood car wash.
2. One day, while waiting for his car to be washed, a regular noticed a strange humming sound coming from one of the nozzles. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a tiny robot cleaning the inside of another customer’s windshield—oblivious to the water spraying everywhere. The regular watched in amusement as the little bot continued its task, even when it accidentally splashed some soapy water on an unsuspecting delivery driver who was waiting nearby. After a moment of confusion, everyone burst out laughing, including the poor bot, which seemed to smile with its LED eyes. From then on, Fast5Xpress became known not just for their efficient car wash but also for occasional appearances by their friendly neighborhood robot.
3. A curious delivery driver pulled up to Fast5Xpress one afternoon. As he waited for his turn, he noticed something odd—each car that emerged from the tunnel had its windows mysteriously fogged. Finally, when it was his turn, the driver entered the tunnel and emerged with perfectly clear windows. Smiling, he turned to a nearby neighbor who’d witnessed the whole thing. ‘That’s strange,’ said the neighbor, wiping away imaginary mist from his own window. The driver shrugged and drove off, never realizing that the car wash had just given him a free de-misting service.’
4. One foggy morning, as cars slowly queued up at Fast5Xpress, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The water jets seemed to pause mid-spray, then resume with a sudden burst, like they were laughing at each customer’s surprise. Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be an electrician. They checked and found nothing wrong—just an old timer set to simulate a misbehaving machine. From that day on, whenever someone complained about the ‘malfunctioning’ water jets, everyone in line would laugh along, thinking of the friendly prank played by the neighborhood electrician.
