A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when most car washes were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Mission Gorge Car Wash with an unusual request. "I need my truck cleaned,” he said, “but only if you use that old bucket over there.” The attendant raised an eyebrow but nodded, grabbing the ancient bucket. As they started scrubbing, the driver chatted amiably, explaining it was his lucky bucket. To everyone’s surprise, after finishing, the truck shimmered like new—even though no soap had been used. The driver winked and drove off, leaving behind a perplexed yet smiling employee.
2. One day, while waiting for his car to be washed, an old man leaned against the wall and muttered under his breath, ‘I bet they never see ghosts here.’ Suddenly, the water stopped mid-spray, and the air felt heavy with something unseen. A delivery driver, hearing the silence, asked if everything was okay. The old man just smiled and said, 'Just checking out your new haunting technique!' Turned out, it was just a minor glitch in the pump's timer—nothing supernatural after all.
3. In the early hours of the morning, as Mission Gorge Car Wash began its routine, a delivery driver pulled up with a mysterious package. The attendant noticed something unusual about it—each time he tried to open it, the box seemed to shift and whisper softly in the dark. Finally curious, the attendant asked aloud, ‘Who could be sending you such strange packages?’ To his surprise, the box replied, ‘Just someone who loves clean cars!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an overactive speaker system from a prankster neighbor. Since then, whenever anyone mentions ghostly deliveries, they all smile and say, “It’s probably just Mission Gorge Car Wash again.”
4. At dusk one evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Mission Gorge Car Wash and noticed something odd—a soft humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he cracked open the door—and was greeted by an old radio playing softly in the background. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic cleaner who loved his music so much that everyone started calling him ‘Mr. Groove’. The delivery driver left with a smile, wondering if maybe Mission Gorge Car Wash had its own secret DJ after all.
