This is only about the car wash! I purchased a car wash when I got gas. There were several cars waiting so I decided to come back in a few days. When I did come back the code didn't work and the guy said it expired. I asked if there was an expiration date/notice. He said no. Had to go ask his manager. Came back and was asking me why I didn't use it the same day or the next day. None of their business! Life gets busy. He did an override. Then told me to make sure to use it the day I buy it. Easy solution, just won't buy there again. read more

This is about the Car Wash, not the gas station or store. The car wash was awful. The offering and services are overpriced and underdelivered. I was shocked that a $17 car wash could be so bad and leave my car dirty. Gas station and store are solid, but I'm disappointed Chevron is working with such a terrible car wash partner. I won't be using the car wash again, but it was such a bad experience, I might not use the gas station either. *advice to the car wash... spend some more time improving your process to deliver better value to customers. read more

Used to come here for the touchless car wash that was reasonably priced. Ducky's bought it out and I'll never come here again. - Overpriced. The mid option is $17 and you don't get much for that - No longer touchless. They have a new brush based system with extremely aggressive brushes - Aggressively push they $20/mo subscription. The entire place is plastered in ads for it and they may it confusing to see what you actually get for the different one time tier options. They have two live people working it and one will try to sell you on the subscription - Promised wheel cleaning for the mid tier. Was not cleaned at all. When we started going through there was a guy with a hose spraying a trickle if soapy water to "pre-wash" and only got the left side of the car despite us asking for both Avoid if you care about getting a decent value wash that is gentle on your paint. read more

Car wash experience was trash. Paid my fees and they kicked me out of the vacuum section just as i pulled my mats and was ready to vacuum. Very bad tase . Thinking of canceling my membership. The young men they have manning the wash port run off to cars and run back and miss the prewash at times. Supervision is poor. read more

This is the Chevron Gas Station at the corner of Veterans Blvd & Main Street in Redwood City, CA. It has a food mart, a carwash, a fairly spacious lot, and multiple islands (with one pump per island). It has a nice location on Veterans Blvd, just a few blocks from Kaiser Hospital. I was just here last week with my coworker. I got gas, some snacks and used the restroom. Sorry, I can't review the car wash. I'm guessing alot of the poor reviews are from car wash users. I have a tip for you: mechanical car washes that use rollers or brushes will leave swirls, streaks, and fine scratches on your paint. "Touchless car washes usually use harsh chemicals to clean your car, then use high pressure spraying to clean it off. If you're okay with all that, then there's no problem. The price of gas was about average for the SF Bay Area. I had to get mid-grade to offset some cheap gas I pumped the night before. I went inside to use the restroom. WOW! This restroom was super clean. It was like a showroom for bathroom fixtures. The food mart was clean too. It was well stocked with all the snacks, drinks, and candies. BTW, do you know why gas stations sell junk food? Very rarely do you see celery sticks and melon balls. Drivers are usually in a hurry. It's a fact that hungry drivers get tired faster, and you don't want to stop again do you? So it's a good idea to grab a drink and a snack for the road. Maybe something to wake you up. I'm sure you'll find something in this food mart. So, average gas prices, clean restroom, and well stocked food mart! Oh, and friendly service! The lady clerk was very friendly and joked about high prices on the snacks. Located between Jefferson & Main St, on Veterans Blvd. read more

Nahhhh. They changed it from a chevron carwash that had the touchless option to a Ducky's car wash. Horrible wash that barely uses water and just moves the dirt around scratching up your car. No touchless option anymore read more

The store was clean and the cashier was very friendly and helpful, refrigerators are cold

Touchless car wash for $12, came at 830p on a Thursday and no wait at all! I would come back here again because touchless car washes prevent scratches read more

New car wash is weak. They took away the touchless option. New pricing not clear on what you are paying for.

I think this station may be cursed or maybe the owner just doesn't give a [redacted] which is more likely. As I was pumping gas, I noticed the pump price and the digital advertised main sign were off. Even after the car wash discount which knocked off a couple dimes, I paid more (false advertising). And yes, I compared cash vs. credit price, that wasn't the issue. The pump was literally at least $0.20 higher than the sign on the street. Next issue is the car wash--the pump receipt did NOT print. Isn't this just something you check each day to ensure a full print roll, FFS? It ain't hard. You have (almost) one job. Ensure pump has paper, ink and no credit card skimmers attached. Easy. Inside the station, the clerk had zero clue. Argued over the price discrepancy (spoiler alert: I know how to do math). She also printed out a re-print gas code (thanks, but... wrong pump). Went through car wash without wash, went back again, got the right code, washed. To cap off this fun adventure, the car wash dryer stopped blowing air after about 15 seconds! WTF? Drove home and let the freeway handle drying. I only do reviews when the place is great or [redacted]. No one needs a review that is average, that's expected. So read into this what you may and, by evidence of all the other reviews, this plays sucks [redacted]. Won't be coming back. [Redacted redacted your redacted piece of redacted!] read more

BEWARE of free car wash scam. Don't bother, it's a Jip. I was told you get a free $13 Car Wash if you wash your car six times which I did, always getting the most expensive car wash. When I came in to collect my free car wash I had to argue with the cashier that I was entitled to a free wash and presented the card with all of the stamps to which he declined and I had to argue with him until he finally agreed yes you have a free car wash. Then only gave me the $9 Car Wash which is the cheapest version and not worth it. Even though I told him I was told repeatedly you get the $13 car wash free after completing 6. Very dishonest and deceptive business practices. It's fine if they tell you from the beginning that you only get the $9 Car Wash free, but to lie to you and say you get the $13 one is just wrong.. Will not be coming back here again. They are not an honest Chevron. read more

Chevron - Beware of their free car wash scam if they entice you into buying 6 car washes. They won't honor it. Very dishonest business practices - Gas Stations Near Me - Redwood City, California

This is the slowest car wash in the history of the known universe. This is only the second time I've been here, but I should've remembered because the first time I waited half an hour to get through this thing and I can see it from all the other reviews everyone else is at the same experience. read more

I went to fill up last night and noticed the anti tamper tape for skimmers was in very poor condition. I reported this to the two attendants. The first guy couldn't understand me. The second guy I can't tell if he didn't care or couldn't understand. Even though I think "Skimmer" and me pointing to my pump should be enough to warrant them to investigate. What do I get? "Nooo nooo sorry" then the same from the guy who couldn't even understand me. I hope they understood when I told them I'm glad I paid inside then.... read more

Came by for a fill-up the other day as the app on my phone said this Chevron was the cheapest gas in this part of town! This station is obviously corporately-owned (as opposed to a franchise) as the property was spotlessly clean with all pumps in good working order, paper towels stocked, and squeegee in good condition with plenty of soapy water. The only minor downside is that this station is halfway between the Woodside and Whipple exits from the 101... read more

Chevron - a gas station with palm trees in the background - Gas Stations Near Me - Redwood City, California

I stopped for gas, decided to get a quick car wash since there's still ash on my vehicle from all the fires. After filling up, there's no line visible from where you pump gas, so I go for it. There were 4 cars ahead of me with no way to back out(would not have waited). Ensued to wait 30+minutes! This was my experience at Slowest car wash in the history! Do not enter! 9/25/20 6:10pm to 6:45pm read more

HOW TO GET TOUCHLESS WASH: (First: Do not buy the wash at the pump!) Roll up and select any of the bottom 3 tiers of washes (not the highest one), and an option to have it done without brushes appears. Phew! This place was the jam for RC residents with ceramic coats. I thought I was lost until I played with the options a bit. That said, the wash breaks down probably once every 4 weeks for two days, and the line is hard to see until you get back there; meaning you could wait 0-20+ minutes for a wash ‍ But where else you gonna go? It's a nice part of town, at least. read more

Bought a car wash at the pump- after waiting for 30 min and no cars moving (there were 9 in line that you couldn't see) I backed out, asked for a refund since I had a few toddlers in the car who couldn't wait any longer) and a rude Indian gentleman abruptly told me there were no refunds. Feel scammed. If you have 1 hour+ to wait for a drive through car wash, this is your place. I paid for a car wash, I didn't get the car wash (maybe it was broken?) I asked for a refund and didn't get it. This charge will be disputed with the credit card company out of principle. read more

It took me 45 minutes to get through this wash because there were cars in front of me, which you can't see until you're already stuck in the line. Such a waste of time, I could've washed my own car by now. And all to wait for a 4 min wash. I read more

As the cheerleaders from Rancho Carne High School remind us: "It's alright, it's okay You're gonna pump our gas someday" Unless these blonde-dying, bicep-building compadres decide to move to New Jersey anytime soon( aka: be banished to a wasteland of nightmares), no one will be pumping their gas for them. In fact, they will be pumping it for themselves while their annoying children throw tantrums in the back of their Yukon Deluxes. And if their husbands' jobs relocated them to the San Francisco Bay Area, forcing them to move to the peninsula hotbed of Redwood City... and if they had to get their car washed for the first time after driving up the I-5 (or 101 if they were patient and brave)... I would recommend the Chevron Gas Station on Veterans Blvd. The gas is delicious! The layout is exquisite! The pumps are magnanimous! But what I really want to commend them for is their car wash. I just brought my 2000 Honda Accord here (her name is Wanda... she hates it when I define her by her race) and she loved every minute of the experience. You pay at the pump and can choose between 3 options: $5, $7 or $9. Wanda resembled Pigpen so I opted for the $7 wash because I didn't know if $9 included waxing which she doesn't like without good warning (she wants to at least trim down there first). I rolled around the corner and typed in the code that was presented to me on the machine. Wanda started purring and going into reverse because she was nervous, but I calmed her down. I said "baby, you got this. We'll do this together. I won't leave your side. You hear me? Not for one second." After a few gentle strokes of the wheel, she let me ride her in. We sat together... part in fear but mostly in awe... as the water came rushing down Wanda's backside... then flowing from her front all the way to her rear. The soap piled on and was washed away by more water. Finally the green light flashed and I pulled forward to the drier. This part was a little unclear. I wasn't sure if I stayed still or drove through. Turns out you drive through it. Since I hesitated a little at first, the front window remains a little moist. Soon as I pulled Wanda out of the driveway, she screamed "again!" in my ears, with the vibrancy she used to hold as a mere lassie. For as dirty as she was, the car wash did a wonderful job. I plan on making more frequent visits so Wanda can enjoy this cleangasm more than once a year. read more

Just happened to see the sign as I drove by. It looked like nobody was in line so I pulled around and was the 4th car in line. Now I'm enjoying my quiet time waiting and trying to be productive. So keep some cleaning supplies handy and you should be ok. The inside of my vehicle looks great. But still waiting. Options are 8-14 dollars. Don't forget to take your antenna off if you use the brushes. There is a dryer time indicator on the left as you pull through so take your time. You've waited this long. read more

Good diesel (yes, they have diesel!) and gas prices. Easy corner location with an Extra Mile convenience store, which offers an array of refreshments and clean bathrooms.

* * * AVOID THE CAR WASH! * * * I wish I'd read the reviews of the car wash here before attempting to use it. 1. The line is hidden behind the building, so I was duped into paying for a wash before realizing there was an 8 car / 40 minute wait. 2. The system is old and ineffective. I apparently entered the incorrect numeric code on the keypad, yet the system confusingly signalled "green" for me to drive in. 3. The staff took over 5 minutes to respond to pressing "Help" button on keypad, and only after sounding my horn repeatedly. 4. The car wash then abruptly stopped once I drove into it. It signalled for me to move forward and did nothing until I had no choice but to exit the car wash without any wash. The staff member who "helped" earlier had immediately disappeared and was unavailable to help. At least they refunded my money in full. But I lost 40 minutes of a busy day for nothing. Come here for the not-excessively-priced gas, but AVOID THE CAR WASH! read more

So get my car wash at lunch. Drive away assuming the car is clean to head back to work. When I get out of work I notice the car is WAY dirty. So I head back after work and just ask for an extra wash or refund, typical thing If you pay for something and don't receive what you paid for. The assistant manager throws a huge stink and says it's MY fault for not checking the car immediately. Well maybe if your car wash was not a drive thru type I would have. And maybe if I had a job as shitty as yours i would have time to do so. Then you give me a "free go around" and the machine is fucking busted! You had to have someone cone out here and fix it before I even went through again!! Well you can say good bye to my business and I hope your shitty ass gas station stays afloat. read more

Waited 50 minutes for the "fast wash" with only about 7 vehicles in front of us. I'm not sure if this a typical type of wait for this place but, personally I won't ever return. I aged 5 years while waiting with two kids in the car. Come if you like to grow grey hair during your wait. read more

I visited the gas station to purchase coffee, premium gasoline, apply for a credit card, and wash my car. Approaching the checkout register, a youngish man who appears to be an Indian National raised his lazer scan gun shoulder-high and fired it in my general direction - I saw the flash in my eyes. He went behind the cash register for a minute and looked at us - a short line of customers. Then it was my turn and the clerk came right in front of me, within a few inches, to scan candy bars in front of the checkout register. What was he thinking? I was next in line to receive my change when this clerk began using his lazer gun to scan candy bars in front of the register and there was no way for me to move away. I asked him to please not shoot me again with the light from his lazer scanner. He refused to pause for a few minutes saying the lazer gun only shot what he was aiming at, and nothing more. What!? Who is this foolish fellow. He had a whole store of merchandise to inventory or he could have let us few people check out first. My complaints were ignored when I asked him to stop using the lazer so close to me. I feel irritated at Chevron employee's careless, unsafe behavior. I could feel my skin tingling. Or maybe that is just residual irritation. They should train people better in customer service skills and plain old courtesy. Just a suggestion: This rude clerk should work in the backroom not around people spending their hard-earned money. I know good help is hard to find, but Chevron should keep looking because everyone else working there is OK. read more

Don't get in the car wash line unless you have an hour to spare. It's deceiving because it looks like no one is on line when you pull up and then an hour later you finally get into the car wash. They need to warn cars how long it will take from the drive in point. Once your in line your stuck and can't back out, probably makes a lot of people late for work. Not ok. read more

* This gas attendant is so incompetent that he asked me to use my gift card to pay gas at the pump physically; I knew it would not work even though I do not work at the gas stations. * We both went out there and he said he would show me how that worked, sure enough, the gas pump did not authorize, and he quickly said, I had input the wrong zip after swiping my card, another huge mistake and bad instruction. * We both went back to the store because I insisted on paying the gas with my card inside not at the pump, this time my card was read indicating no balance because his incompetence asking to swipe my card earlier had removed my available balance initially and it would take some minutes before reappearing back on my new card again. * This incompetent attendant then quickly accused me trying to use a bad no balancing card to get gas! * It took me some time and extra effort calling the issuing agency of my new card to get my balance back. * People's stupidity never surprises me! read more

Touchless car wash here is OK if you don't like paint scratches and don't mind the car being a little bit dirty afterwards. The real issue is how often the car wash is out of service.

Breakdown: Your vehicle is thirsty? Then Chevron has the perfect drinks for it. I have gas: No, not talking about flatulence you silly goose. I'm talking about the Chevron gas station. They have multiple stations, a car wash, and an Extra Mile store. Remember when gas was cheap: I don't because I'm not old. Lies, I'm actually old. But when I first started driving, I remember gas being about $1.20. Man, the good ol' days *swipes tear*. As I write this review, gas is about $3.71 here (for octane 87). I think this Chevron and the Chevron on Woodside Road (kind of near Shell and that KFC restaurant) have the cheapest gas (among Chevron gas stations in Redwood City). Also, if you're a member of Safeway and have a Safeway card, you can use your Safeward rewards points to save $.10-$.20 on each gallon of gas. Food: Going the extra mile to buy junk food from the Extra Mile can be a little hazardous to your wallet. Snacks are a little expensive, but that's expected from a gas station. The place is pretty clean and finding snacks wasn't hard at all. Pass gas: I wouldn't pass this gas station. This place doesn't stink at all. The prices are fairly competitive, the place is clean, and there's not a lot of waiting for the pumps. read more

This review is mainly for the car wash. I've stopped by this location many times, because it's located close to my work. As far as gas, convenience store and customer service I would give them four stars. However, the car wash here is terrible. First of all, if you decide to use the car wash, do not attempt to use it on your lunch hour!! Even if there are two cars ahead of you, there's always a 30 minute minimum wait to get through. And finally, the quality of the car wash is really really bad. When I use their car wash services, I purchase the most expensive wash with the expectations of it being fairly clean. I have a black car, and during the last two washes there has been a white haze on my car after the wash (see photo). I don't know if it is the type of soap, wax or spot free rinse that they use, but it makes my car look even worst! Unless your car is covered in mud and you need to wash it for better visibility, I highly suggest spending your money elsewhere for a car wash. read more

Chevron - Dirty white haze after using their car wash services. - Gas Stations Near Me - Redwood City, California

I have been coming here for YEARS and just realized something tonight. I have been treated well at this establishment just like I treat the staff there with respect. Tonight in error I was confused by my receipt rather than the gentleman explaining it to me he jumped at me like I was accusing him of something. I just didn't understand the transaction and I did not go in accusing him of anything in tone or verbage. Then I realized he is usually kind because there are other people in his place of business, I was alone in the store and he showed me he is truely a rude man. I will not return to that Chevron. It is a time where we need to support local businesses and be kind to each other.....I will get gas, car washes , and my lottery somewhere else. read more

Car wash is so slow. Be patient and have some time to kill. Also, the passenger side spray is weak.
