Carl's Car Wash is in trouble as it's too small to fit the large construction vehicles of Dusty, Bolton, and Dharma. To upgrade the car wash, Carl needs three special parts: a triangular part, a rectangular part, and a circular part. However, these parts are no longer manufactured and can only be found in old, hard-to-reach locations.
Carl embarks on an adventurous journey to find these parts. With the help of his friends, including Betty, Captain Mary, Hector, and Billy (an astronaut), he travels to the Bermuda Triangle, a mountain, and even the moon to retrieve the parts. Along the way, he faces various obstacles, including a damaged spaceship, but is rescued by Sparky.
Finally, with all three parts in hand, Carl returns to his car wash and successfully upgrades it. The car wash is now bigger and better, and Carl is able to clean the large construction vehicles, earning praise from their owners.
