Business thrives in good times and bad at Lee's Magic Tunnel Car Wash
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The Magic Tunnel is where more than 660 cars have passed through the wheel washers, hula washers, steam cleaners and air dryers in one day.
It is where employees have found dead snakes, skunks, rats and squirrels, most of them hiding under cars seats or in the dashboards. They have also encountered eggs and blood, among other things.
A turkey is among the more recent discoveries.
"It went through the center of the windshield," Ronnie Brown said. "It missed the husband and wife and landed in the back of the Suburban."
Brown and his brother, Mike, are co-owners of Lee's Magic Tunnel Car Wash on South Parkway - one of the city's best-known small businesses.
By the Browns' calculations, Magic Tunnel Car Wash has been open since 1957, when Lawrence Houk opened it as a way to display his car wash equipment.
"If somebody wanted to buy equipment, he'd say, 'Go to (car washes) in Huntsville or Birmingham,"' Ronnie Brown said.
The Browns took over the business in 1968, leasing it for $400 a month for 25 years. The name was changed from Magic Tunnel Car Wash to Lee's Magic Tunnel Car Wash, in honor of Brown's father, Lee.
For many years, there were two Magic Tunnels - one on South Parkway and the other on North Parkway, near the current location of WAFF-TV.
"It was known as Magic Tunnel South and North," Mike Brown said. "It did well until (the expansion of Memorial Parkway) messed it up."
There were three pieces of equipment in 1968 - an air dryer, a steam cleaner and a set of wheel washers. The rest was done by hand.
Every now and then, customers rapped on the windows in the walkway as they watched their car being washed.
"Get that spot," they'd yell through the windows, as Ronnie Brown recalls.
In the years before the service roads on Memorial Parkway, the Browns were able to squeeze as many as 21 cars in front of the Magic Tunnel.
The cars were clustered there, awaiting the final touches - usually cleaning on the inside and drying the outsides of the windows.
"I've been compared to an old (full-service) gas station," Ronnie Brown said. "We're one of the few who gives hands-on service."
The land for the service road was acquired around 1974, trimming the number of cars capable of wedging into the driveway between the Magic Tunnel and the service road.
Now, there is only room for 12 cars at a time, by Mike Brown's estimate. He figures 450 cars is the most Lee's can wash in one day.
The record is 663, set in the days before the service roads.
"Pollen season is best," he said.
Said Ronnie Brown, "Green makes green."
The Browns bought the property on South Parkway in 1993. The Magic Tunnel on North Parkway closed the next year.
In 2005, they opened Lee's Express Wash on North Parkway in 2005.
"(Business) has always been good (in) good times and bad," Ronnie Brown said. "It's like when people don't have new cars, they take care of old cars.
"No matter what, you can't fail. They always take care of their cars."
