The Wheel Well Motel is a location in the 2006 Disney/Pixar animated film, Cars and its 2011 sequel. The motel used to be a very popular stop for visitors. It closed due to lack of clients when the Interstate was built. Years later, it was soon re-opened known as "Grand Re-opening." In Cars 2, it is shown to have been turned into a popular restaurant.
