We have been renting a place in Aptos for the past 6 weeks. Due to some very bad luck, both of our…read morecars needed service. There was both an oil and a gas leak in one of them, and a broken headlight assembly that needed to be replaced in the other. We all know that reliable, honest, hard-working, and reasonably-priced car mechanics are not easy to find. In fact, many have a reputation for dishonesty, it's sad to say. I have an excellent mechanic where I live but didn't know anything about the scene down here. I did some internet searching and, based upon that, gave this place a try. With both repairs, I was completely satisfied with the quality of the work that was done, the value, and the timely and accurate communication. I recommend this crew very highly. I won't hesitate to come back if I am so unlucky as to need further car repair while on extended vacation.

This used to be a decent gas station until recently. The guys who worked there were very friendly…read moreand the station is near my home so I was a frequent customer. Recently I had encounters with a new staff member, a woman, who was very rude to me. She refused to give me air for my tires even after I got gas. She claimed to not know how to operate the air. I ended up deflating my tire more and had to go to another gas station, it nearly spoiled my day. I stopped going to that gas station after that. Tonight my spouse described the same problem apparently with the same attendant, and ended up going to a different gas station. Now I've seen other complaints about a female attendant. Arco please replace this employee so I can start using the gas station near my house again.

The main downside is the gas price, which felt pretty high compared to other stations in the area. It is okay if you need gas quickly or you are nearby, but I would probably check prices somewhere else first next time. Overall, not a bad station, just expensive.

I went here specifically for two things: a touchless car wash and to use a bathroom…read more I am grateful to have found a touchless car wash because I have a finish on my car that my detailer highly recommends a touchless car wash. I was somewhat satisfied with the car wash. However, my car wasn't as clean as I would've liked it to have been. The good thing was that my car didn't get scratched by brushes. I believe that they need to make the car wash go longer. I also went to this particular station because I needed to use the restroom. I went into the store, and the friendly cashier gave me the key to the outside bathroom. I walked out to the bathroom, and when I grabbed the door knob, the door opened without using the key. I was feeling a little anxious about someone opening the door while I was using the toilet, but that didn't happen. The person before me probably didn't close the door completely when they left the toilet. The convenience store was huge with lots of items to buy. Outside, there is air for your tires, and you can vacuum your car for a handful of quarters. I was impressed that they had buckets with water and windshield squeegees--I haven't seen very many squeegees at gas stations lately.

A perfect car wash if your car is already clean or you like unpleasant customer service!…read more Sigh, I actually had a very positive view of this place, and would recommend them as a nice place to get gas, but unfortunately today we tried the car wash. I was really excited, it seemed high tech and nice, and was excited to make it my go-to. Unfortunately it did not get the car clean (even with the highest level of wash available), and when we got back home we saw there were black speckles on about 8 of the body panels on our pretty new and recently waxed car. This was handily the worse wash we have tried in the area. I wasn't worried because the other places we had dealt with recently would just send us back through if there were any problems, so we headed back over to the wash to help them make it right. When we got there I described my problem, and there was clearly stress about it so this was not the first time it had happened. The person who seemed in charge wanted to see it, so I took him out and showed him the speckles fully expecting an easy solution. Unfortunately he rather brusquely informed me that it was only on a small area (8 body panels is apparently small) and that he could offer to let me buy a towel for something like another 3 bucks so that I could clean it myself. Are you serious? You're going to try to upsell on a customer retention issue?!? Absurd. When we looked around we noticed signs advertising towels for your car wash implying that they were for finishing the job not drying the car. This was not the first time they had had this conversation. I went home and used my own towel and quick detailer to finish they job they failed to do, and most certainly wiped the 4 dollars extra worth of wax upsell off on the 8 body panels that I found myself having to clean by hand having payed for an automatic car wash an hour before. So the way I see it: 3 stars for a below average wash at a slightly lower price than some, minus one star for trying to upsell me and asking me for my labor to get the job done, and minus another star for the bad customer experience/ attitude. Even a simple apology and explanation that touch less car washes have advantages but also technical limits would have avoided everyone reading this review, but that's not what happened:-/ Really unfortunate, we liked this place, but I don't see any reason why we should support a place that does this kind of stuff.

Brown short hair, clean shaven, kind of slim, maybe 5'10", in his 20s or 30s. Both times he said, with a totally straight face: $20 for the lotto (which was actually $1 if you recall), and then whatever the price of the drink was. And quickly doing the math in his head, he verbally added $19 dollars to the grand total without missing a beat. When I looked at the register seeing the real total (which of course was $19 less than what he said), he deadpanned "just kidding". He did this exact same thing to me two different times in the span of a couple weeks. Seems very sketchy. Benefit of the doubt: I suppose he really could've been "just kidding", but if so, not funny at all and pretty poor taste to be trying that joke on paying customers that you don't know. Especially if you have no comedic demeanor or delivery with it. Keep an eye on this guy.
