Buying $80 and the store won't accept $100 bills. No $100's accepted vía some verbal policy. Sept 2021

Awful gas station. The pumps never stay on and the card reader never reads your card. 'PLEASE SEE CASHIER'. How about please replace this dinosaur of a gas pump???? Worst gas station in all of Pasadena. read more

Convenient, fast, okay car wash. I mean you cant expect much from a drive thru at a cheap price. I mainly just go during break so the dirt doesn't stick to my white cars. read more

Chevron - Receipt with code - Convenience Stores Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm so disappointed in this place, this is the second time that this car wash has let me down. I like using this place because it's low car friendly, I brought a white car here a couple of weeks ago and the car was still filthy. I ended up hitting it with detail spray and making the best of it, last night I decided my black car needed a wash. So I pull up and pay the 9 bucks for their best wash, my car wasn't filthy but I figured their best wash would insure a good result. I even went as far as to spray the wheels with a tire/wheel cleaner before pulling in. The wash does it's thing and I noticed that the timer for the dryer starts before you're even giving the green light to pull forward. Any who I go through the big hair dryers and pull up next to a vacuum to dry the rest of the car. I was so mad that i didn't even vacuum my car, PLENTY of dry dirty spots. The water pressure is non existent at best and as a result my car wasn't washed correctly, It took everything in me to not go inside the gas station and ask for a refund. For 9 dollars I would've been better off washing it myself at a coin operated spot. Never again read more

Very convenient , fast, cheaper . Near to my location. I just need to wipe it a bit after

Came here specifically for a car wash while it wasn't going to be crowded (11:15 at night) and it was closed / non-op. This place needs to post its carwash hours if they're going to be limited. read more

Yeah, this is a cheap car wash...I should have expected that. I got the most expensive wash and it didnt get any stains out. Never again, would rather pay a few more bucks for a handwash job. read more

Wow!!! We clearly agitated the clerk by saying hello and having our purchases checked out. The coffee pot was dry, no offer to make any. No TP in the not so clean bathroom. We were clearly interrupting a very important phone call for this abrupt and dismissive young woman. read more

The gas pump works just fine :) However rude costumer service. My first time going to this gas station. I went to get a Carwash and it didn't start for me. So I went inside to ask for help. The guy right away got rude with me. I'm a very happy pleasant person. I wasn't upset or anything. I simply wanted some assistance getting the car wash to start for me. So I was taken by surprised by his tone of voice and comments. He was talking to me like I was stupid. I haven't ever experienced this kind of service. I just stayed calm. Asked again if he could please help. He did and there was a long line of cars now ahead of me. While I was waiting few other people had issues with the car wash. He had to come out and help them. I decide to check yelp. After reading the reviews on yelp. I see clearly I'm not the only person having issues with the car wash. Maybe he just gets frustrated with so many people having issues. I still didn't appreciate the attitude. :/ Maybe the management should post clear instructions on how this particular car wash works. So the gas station attendants don't get all frustrated. I use other drive thru car washes all the time. I don't have any issues. They have clear instructions and work fine. Well after sitting in the long line backed up with others having issues. I ended up just backing out since I was the last person in line. I got a refund!! Like any smart person would do. ;) I didn't want to add to the gas attendants stress or deal with the wait. read more

Total waste of time. Went for a car wash and they just have sprayers, no noodles, nothing to get dirt off. The dryer didn't even dry the car. There are water droplets all over my still dirty car. I would have been better off just turning a hose on my car. read more

I come here for gas and a wash because I hate spending 2 hours washing my suv at home. The wash isn't perfect and there usually isn't a wait, but the car wash is literally down 3/4 the time I'm here. read more

The car wash is payable via debit card but doesnt allow you to pay debit for the vacuum, even if you go inside to pay. Make sure you bring quarters. read more

Their new car wash RAZOR EDGE is great! New upgrade. Great!!! They still have great staff. And the inside is slays clean. read more

Chevron - Convenience Stores Near Me - Pasadena, California

I needed a quick wash and found Chevron on my way home. They have different options to choose from but I opted for the regular 5.99. It really is only a basic water/soap rinse and blow dry. It completely missed the second half of my car even though my car was in the correct position inside the car wash. There was a line of cars when I was there. I don't know how anybody can return. I wouldn't come back even if it were free. The wash left my car dirtier with soap spots everywhere. Please take your money and business elsewhere. read more

Decrepit old car wash, works terribly and more expensive than a much better self-serve car wash down the street. Very poorly maintained and a rip-off. read more

i always come here for the car wash only. it's brushless so sprays a strong stream of water to wash. also, if your car is low, there's no weird mechanisms in the floor to hold your car in place during the wash. i've tried a few other car washes but this one always seems to be the best by far. read more

They have a decent car wash here. This carwash uses high pressure spray nozzles which is good for cleaning dust and light dirt, but WILL NOT clean other things like bird droppings or grim. From time to time the spray nozzles come off and it jet's high pressure water into the car which is not great. This car wash does have two feature which makes it stand out. 1. It has a tire scrubber which works pretty well and 2. It has one of the better air driers, which distributes air evenly across the whole vechial leaving very little water. The only thing that could make this car wash better is if it had physical brushes that scrubbed the vechial. Overall great car wash. read more

I needed a quick and easy car wash. I usually go to the Arco Drive through car wash in Arcadia. That one has a machine that does a pretty good job of wiping down the dirt I neglect on my car. I figured all gas station drive through car washes were the same, weren't they? Apparently not. This was the same price, around $6-$7 and hardly moved any dust off my car. I only went because I was in the area and wanted to get it done. I even considered going to another car wash after this one...that's how bad it was. I'll stick to the drive through car washes I know from now on. read more

Easy gas station to get into and simple car wash set up. Finally a touch-free car wash! Line can be long, so try to go during off times.

I'm stopping here frequently since it's near my job they always have fresh fruit wide variety of all kinds of new products they seem to have anything I need and they always had excellent service the bathrooms are also very clean read more

See all

The car wash is great when it works. Usually after a couple tries I can get the thing to read my credit card but today I went in and it wouldn't take either of my credit cards. I tried over and over. Sometimes it just said "Busy", sometimes it got stuck "Authorizing", and mostly it just said "Bad card read". I finally gave up and went to the Chevron in Monrovia where it took my card no problem. I really wish I could find another touchless wash in Pasadena. read more

RUDEST EMPLOYEE!! Waited in line 30 minute for a car wash. The person in front of me stole my wash. Attendant, SALEH, came out and kicked us out of the Carwash and said I had to go back through the line of 7 cars. read more

Very rude. I spent 45 minutes waiting for car wash. When it was finally my turn, the auto wash wouldn't come on... As I didn't want to inconvenience people waiting behind me, I pulled around and went inside. A man was standing visiting the 2 attendants about his shirt... I finally said excuse me, and stated my business. Oscar said "Honey, what do you want me to do?" He threw $9.00 at me and laughed. The other attendant "Lincoln" called me racist, stupid, and crazy. I asked for the manager/ owners name and business #. Lincoln handed me a phone number that wasn't active. Then Oscar handed me the main number of the store. I felt scared, as they continued verbally abusing me. DON'T do business here.... read more

Apart from the fact that Chevron gas is WAY more expensive than most other stations, this gas station is always clean, has lots of pumps and good covering (rain & sun) as well as excellent employees, always friendly and willing to help. Plenty of window cleaning squeegees and towels. The car wash is one of the best for a quick wash ONLY - truly a non-touch wash unless you get the top of the line wash which includes a scrubbing of your wheels (not worth it if you ask me as the brush is at a fixed height so most of the time it doesn't align with your wheels). Only 4 stars not 5 because beware - the wash is great for summer dust in LA or if you accidentally parked your car near a sprinkler etc, but if you have some more "intense" dirt like bird droppings or you parked your car under a blooming jacaranda tree, don't expect the water jets to get it all off. read more

Why? I admit I get confused in everyday life. I didn't "align" my wheels properly for my wash SO i got back in line and waited (15) minutes for a second try. I selected the premium wash BECAUSE nothing, nothing is too good for my car. *Beso* On my way out I was kinda dismayed that the fans/dryer didn't really dry my car and to top it off the vacuums were missing their suction hose! WTF?! The winning factor: Great employees inside with a sense of humor and a willingness to assist. They let me borrow a towel to dry off my car and offered to help with the vacuum. But still....what happened to the automatic carwash yo? read more

Drive through car washes are so much fun! This one has easy access and payment options. Quick and efficient

Got a dirty car? Got foggy windows? Embarrassed about your car..... because it looks like i'ts been rumbling in the dirt? Well, Chevron auto wash to the rescue!!! BEWARE gas prices are okay, not the cheapest in the area, but definitely worth the $5 car wash or if you want a better car wash you can purchase the $6 or $7 option (Although i can't tell the difference when i opt to purchase the $6 or $7 option) !! Hey it's 100 degrees outside SO I AM ecstatic to shell out that $5 for a decent wash, so i won't have to face the tortuous heat. BEWARE lines are really long on a Sunday afternoon for some reason everyone wants a car wash on Sunday! So be prepare to wait in your car for a good 20 - 25 minutes if you come on a Sunday.... yet I still haven't learn my lesson... maybe 3rd time will be a charm and I won't come on a Sunday! Overall good location, good car wash prices, & good convenience store! read more

There was like 5-7 cars in front of me when I arrived (15 minutes delay approximately). When I came out, there was easily 15 cars waiting. I'm from France and it was the first time I ever washed my car here in the US. As I didn't know if the machine accepted credit cards or if I had to buy a special card or a token (as in France), I went inside and asked the cashier. He wasn't even nice, as you expect a cashier to be. I'm not a native English speaker, but I understand and speak well enough, so no reason not to be cool. For $8.99, I took their "Extreme wash" at the cashier desk (and I still don't know if the machine itself accepts credit cards!). They gave me a code to enter on the machine. There is no rolls that touches the car, this is both a good and a bad thing: nothing will hurt your car, but bird poop is still untouched. The dryer didn't dry enough, there was still water everywhere. Don't even expect to fill your tank in: they have the most expensive gas I ever saw ($4.35 per gallon, when all the other gas stations surrounding are between $3.99 and $4.15)! I drove like 5 miles to go home (eagle rock), the car looks almost as if I haven't washed it. Next time I will go to JJ's car wash, closer to my home and they do a great job according to yelp. I definitively won't EVER come again here. read more

IM AT THIS GAS STATION ALL THE TIME! getting my quick fix of coffee with the instant cappuccinos too :) they dont have nachos or hot dogs..but they have sandwiches and all that other yummy grub. nice service here too! and close to PCC..and other yummies (Zankou..Mc. Donalds.) Nice big food mart..my favorites :) one of the few around pasadena ..expensive gas though a little. read more

I am a frequent Chevron customer as I am very picky about the gas I put in my car but decided to try out the CAR WASH for once. The first time I got the cheapest car wash available. My car wasn't too dirty so the machine did a decent job at clearing up some of the grime and dirt build up. My only complain was that the dryer left my car fairly wet. I went pretty slowly through the dryer and my car was still fairly wet. Thankfully I randomly had a towel in the back that I was able to spot clean. I used the car wash a couple other times seeing it as a quick and cheap way to "maintain" the cleanliness of my car but really never left happy with the service. The machine always seemed to miss spots etc. Again for the price I swallowed my pride and would again always just get out of my car after the drier and finish it off myself. The last time I went I decided to "spoil" myself and go for the pricier option and hated it. The car wash left my car covered in soap. The dryer still left my car pretty went even with a longer drying cycle. As I knew something like this would happen I had my towel to clean up the mess but since my car was covered in soap I just made the situation worse. Officially had it with the service. read more

I don't normally review gas stations but this one is SUPER close to my work and I still avoid it. Everything here is always broken or does not work and the entire staff is completely unhelpful when stuff goes wrong. The whole place is such a hassle always that I go out of my way to not go here anymore. Their Car Wash is always broken and does not hit all the cycles you paid for. Note all the zip ties holding it together. The whole place is just cut up. Drive past this place. 2 blocks east is another gas station. 2 blocks north is another gas station. I would not recommend this car wash, which is the only thing that makes this spot different than the 2 other gas stations within close proximity. read more

Car wash did literally nothing. Car still has dirt toward the bottom and set-in dirt didn't get removed. I don't expect much from a drive through car wash but this was terrible. read more

Was in need of a carwash since I was showing it off for sale the following day (first thing in the morning). The car wasn't horribly dirty but it definitely could be washed before I was going to show it to the next potential owner. I picked the cheapest wash and it barely did anything. It might have taken off the dust that was on the car, but it didn't do a great job washing it. It was touch-free wash which I typically like since I hear that touch washes can destroy the paint of the car. This carwash was open till late which made it great for my schedule. I live in Alhambra and this was one of the closet carwashes still open this late on a Saturday night. Don't expect all the bird poo and dried gunk to come off during the basic carwash package. But if you need something quick and cheap, it's not bad. Also, watch out for dry spots since the machine does the minimal amount of drying. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS "CAR WASH". I would leave zero stars if I could. This place was a complete joke hahahaha okay literally the car was no different going in than it was coming out. Waste of water. Waste of money. Honestly it was comical. We were enraged but also laughing read more

Went through the carwash, and honestly, I'd give it a negative star. That was probably the shortest drive thru carwash I've ever been in, didn't really clean my car, and has the shortest dryer run through ever. Didn't even get the chance to dry off so the water marks just dried off again on my car! I know my car was dirty but wow! Lol. Waste of $12. read more

I don't understand why people write so bad reviews. It is the best chevron on my experience. It is big and food mart is the cleanest amongst all the locations. I was excited to see the the bathroom was shiny clean, that i didn't expect to see at the gas station. The coffee area is great and they have no 4 sugar free flavors. The cashier is also so nice. read more

My go to place for cigarettes and red bull. Hey, my car's not the only thing requiring fuel. Very, very friendly staff, which is pretty hard to come by in this industry. Free water and air always in working order (even the air pressure gauge!) and you don't have to do the whole token rigmarole. Car wash is crazy busy on a weekend, so plan accordingly. read more

Can't even get a car wash. 1) Their credit card reader is broken, and taped off. They only accept exact change and only up to $10 bills. Don't waste your time waiting in line to find out you can't get your car washed. Another time I got a code from the gas pump and it just refused to work, so I wasted time for waiting in line, money on car wash I didn't get, and still couldn't get my car washed. Just don't waste your time, they can't even get the most basic things right, i.e. getting the wash done, and collecting the payment properly. Unfit for business. read more

Very Poor Service by Hispanic woman who was working today Saturday around 1:30pm. I was waiting for a lady who pulled in auto car wash and seem to do everything correctly. I and others waited for a few minutes. I went and got help. Once she came outside she ask me did I put money in machine. Of course not since the machine was asking me to pull forward while woman in car wash was waiting. She ask me what happened and when I was telling her that she appear to do everything correctly and then Hispanic woman through up her hand to dismissed me in a very rude manner. I have to post this because this is the first time I've been here which I was Miss treated by someone who asked me what was happening and kind of dismissed everything regarding the incident read more

This Chevron has higher prices yet is very busy. They do have a car wash but there's always a line for it. I bought the car wash and cane back three different times in hopes of not having to wait in line. What makes it worse is that they close the car wash later at night. read more
