About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Okie Express for a quick wash. As he waited, he noticed an old, rusted toolbox on the service bay floor. Curious, he picked it up and found a strange note inside: 'Take what you need, leave something useful.' Smiling, our delivery driver decided to leave behind his favorite coffee mug—an old ceramic cup with a cracked handle that always brought him luck. To his surprise, when he returned later, the mug was filled with freshly brewed coffee and a handwritten note: ‘Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your stay.’ From then on, every time someone left something in the box, they’d find a small token of appreciation waiting for them.
2. A little boy stood mesmerized as his dad drove into Okie Express. The water jets were dancing in sync with the music, creating an unexpected disco show. Suddenly, a mischievous poodle jumped out from behind a car and started dancing along with the jets. Everyone burst into laughter—even the usually gruff old mechanic cracked a smile. As the family left, the little boy turned to his dad and asked, ‘Dad, why do they call it “Okie”?’
3. A group of friends decided it would be fun to see who could get their car washed the fastest at Okie Express. They placed bets and cheered each other on. Finally, one friend managed to finish first, winning his bet. As he exited, a delivery driver asked if he wanted an extra rinse for free. Turned out, everyone had been washing cars for each other all along.
4. A curious dog followed its owner into Okie Express one afternoon, oblivious to the soapy water spraying everywhere. Soapy water turned the dog’s fur into a shiny mess, much to everyone’s amusement. The owner tried unsuccessfully to dry him off with a towel, but ended up joining in the fun, laughing along with the other customers. That evening, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they’d seen ‘the wettest pooch around’—it seemed that Okie Express had become quite the local attraction.
