About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver waited for his truck to be washed, he noticed something strange coming from inside Take 5 Car Wash. A soft, rhythmic humming filled the air, almost like an old-time jukebox playing deep in the night. Curious, the delivery driver cracked open the door and peered inside. Amidst the suds and brushes stood an old jukebox, its lights flickering dimly. He recognized it as his neighbor’s lost treasure—an antique from the ’80s. Turns out, every morning when no one was watching, the jukebox would come to life, serenading cars with classic hits. The driver grinned, knowing now why everyone drove away smiling.
2. One day, as a delivery driver waited for his truck to be washed, he overheard an old lady yelling from her porch: ‘Hey, kid! Why don’t you just drive through the car wash yourself? It’s only five dollars!’ The delivery driver grinned and said, 'Ma’am, I’m not here to get my truck cleaned—this place is closed!' The old lady laughed heartily and replied, 'Well then, mister, maybe next time you’ll take my advice! Five bucks might save you a lot of trouble.' And with that, she waved him off with a twinkle in her eye.
3. One afternoon, as customers queued up outside Take 5 Car Wash, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘If you’re waiting longer than five minutes, your next wash is on us!’ A regular customer, Mr. Smith, waited impatiently for his turn and muttered under his breath, 'Finally!' Just then, the intercom blared again: 'And if you're not satisfied with our service, we'll clean your car twice for free!' The entire queue burst into laughter, including a delivery driver who exclaimed, 'Now that's what I call excellent customer service!'
4. One night, after hours of waiting in line, a frustrated customer noticed something peculiar on the car wash conveyor belt: a brand-new, unopened bottle of ketchup. Curious, the customer picked it up and asked one of the workers what it was doing there. With a straight face, another employee replied, 'Oh, that's for the delivery drivers who get hungry while working late.' The customer laughed, realizing that Take 5 Car Wash had its own unique way of keeping things interesting.
