About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when Scooter's Car Wash usually hummed with activity, an old pickup truck pulled in, its headlights casting eerie shadows on the wet pavement. The regulars had already left for work, and the place felt unusually quiet. But something odder than usual was happening—each car that emerged from the tunnel seemed to drive off with a faint smile etched on its windshield. As it turned out, a neighborhood kid had been sneaking into the car wash after hours, using his dad’s old toothbrush to paint happy faces on the windshields. When asked why he did it, he simply shrugged and said, ‘Why not? Makes people smile!’
2. At closing time, when Scooter’s Car Wash was already dark and quiet, a small dog wandered in through the open door. He sniffed curiously around the empty lobby, until he found himself staring up at a large poster of a smiling man with a bucket and sponge. The dog trotted over to the poster and started licking it like it was some kind of treat. Suddenly, an old janitor appeared from behind the counter, scratching his head.
‘What the heck?’ he muttered, ‘Another day, another mystery.’
3. At closing time, when Scooter’s Car Wash was already dark and quiet, a delivery driver parked his truck suspiciously close to the building. He quickly jumped out, grabbed something from the back, and darted inside. Inside, he found an old broom leaning against the wall. With a puzzled smile, he started dusting off counters, only to hear someone whisper, ‘Hey, thanks for helping!’ Turns out it was just the night janitor, who’d fallen asleep on the job again.
4. At closing time, when Scooter’s Car Wash was already dark and quiet, a delivery driver parked his truck suspiciously close to the entrance. On the loudspeaker, a voice announced: ‘Attention, everyone! The water here is not just for cars tonight.’ Suddenly, from inside the building, came the sound of splashing water and laughter. A neighbor, walking by, stopped in surprise and asked what was going on. 'They’re washing the moon tonight!' someone shouted back through the open door. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been just another late-night prank at Scooter’s Car Wash.
