About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another humdrum morning at Kwik Star Car Wash. A delivery driver pulled up in his truck, cranking the radio as usual. Suddenly, from inside the car wash tunnel, came an eerie sound—something between a laugh and a groan. The delivery driver slowed down, peering into the darkened tunnel. ‘Hey,’ he called out nervously, ‘is someone there?’ From behind him, a voice replied cheerfully, ‘Just finishing my shift, mate!’ It was only their neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who’d parked his car for a quick clean before heading home. The driver laughed it off, shaking his head, while Mr. Jenkins waved goodbye with a mischievous smile.
2. A regular pulled up to Kwik Star Car Wash and shouted, ‘Hey, I bet you can’t clean my windshield without scratching it!’ The attendant grinned back, thinking it was an easy challenge. The attendant took a sponge and started scrubbing with confidence. After a few minutes, he proudly handed back the keys saying, 'All done!' The regular looked perplexed as he drove off, only to hear a familiar beeping sound. Turning around, he saw the attendant waving cheerfully from behind the wheel of his freshly cleaned car—a delivery van emblazoned with Kwik Star’s logo.
3. A little boy stood mesmerized as his dad drove through the Kwik Star Car Wash. The water jets were so powerful they seemed to be dancing in perfect rhythm. Just then, an old delivery driver pulled up next to them. Seeing the boy transfixed, he leaned out and shouted, ‘Son, those aren’t dancing jets—those are just washing your dad’s truck!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the boy who finally smiled and said, “Oh.”
4. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Star Car Wash and noticed something odd—an eerie whistling sound came from the brushing brushes, like a thousand tiny violins tuning up. Curious, he approached closer, and as he did, the whistling grew louder—a perfect rendition of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.’ Startled, he looked around but saw no-one. Just then, an old man walking his dog chuckled, ‘That’s just old Mr. Jenkins’ carwash, son—he loves classical music!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and drove off, wondering if maybe Kwik Star had its own secret playlist after all.
