About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most car washes were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in the Kwik Star Car Wash's parking lot. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old neighbor diligently polishing his own car, humming a tune. ‘What are you doing here so early?’ asked the delivery driver with a smile. The neighbor grinned back, replying, “Just wanted my ride to shine like your smile!”
2. At dusk, when kids were racing home from school, an excited dog burst into the Kwik Star Car Wash lot. The owner looked up, puzzled, as the pup ran straight for the sudsy water spilling out of the automatic sprayers. The owner shrugged and watched curiously as the little fellow splashed around in the soapy water. Suddenly, a delivery driver yelled, ‘Hey, watch out!’ Turning, they saw the dog had chased after a wayward soap nozzle, now happily playing with it like a toy. With a smile, the owner called out, ‘Welcome to our car wash, furry friend! Next time you come, bring your own towel.’
3. At closing time, when the Kwik Star Car Wash was already dark and silent, a security guard heard something strange coming from the tunnel. Curious, he approached the tunnel and saw only a delivery driver washing his truck with an old sponge. ‘What are you doing here so late?’ asked the guard. The driver grinned sheepishly, replying, “Just wanted to make sure my ride home is spotless.”
4. At midnight, when the streets of Los Angeles fell asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the Kwik Star Car Wash. The usual hum of the machines was replaced by a soft, rhythmic thrumming sound that seemed to come from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small, furry creature diligently wiping down cars with a microfiber towel. 'Hello?' asked the driver. With a squeak, the animal looked up and replied, 'Just finishing up my shift!' And with that, it scurried off into the shadows. To this day, locals claim to see the little janitor cleaning cars late at night.
