NEVER COME HERE. I usually get my car detailed in LA but they are. The car wash is open longer than the attendance are there for so I decided to try this Chevron. Before getting here I wanted to make sure that my car would be able to get detailed and I wouldn't just be exterior cleaning. I called to ask a question about the interior cleaning, told they close at 6pm, and asked how much it was to just do the interior before I got hung up on. Not sure what about asking about interior cleaning was offensive about a question. I called again but the line sounded busy. I called a few more times and thought the place must've gotten busy so I left a voicemail explaining my situation and my question. I let them know that I would call again, only to call again and have the person answer the phone and be laughing. My guess was and hope was that they were laughing at something else, so I called again and left another voicemail explaining that somebody answered, but maybe there's something with the signal that we kept getting disconnected. I called again and was answered again. Nobody spoke before they hung up on me. Finally, I came to the location and asked to speak with the manager. I was told that it would be 40 minutes or so so I got in line because it looked relatively long. The same lady came over to try and charge me and I said I would not pay until I spoke to a manager. The lady laughed in the same familiar voice. I heard on the phone call, and try to block me from talking to the other workers who are asking why I was in line, but not . I explained the situation and they started laughing too. I asked why it was funny when I just was asking a simple question if they could do the interior. When the manager did come to talk to me she was very aggressive and not understanding why I was offended that this lady was continuously laughing and argued that we didn't know what she was laughing at. I told her that I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but when she came over to my window and started laughing at me in person, despite me, just asking a simple question of whether I can just get the interior, that to me sealed the deal that she was totally laughing at my situation and my questions. The manager threatened to call the police and I insisted that she do so because I'm not sure what I did wrong other than wait to speak to the manager and discuss why her employee was allowed to behave this way. She wrote down what I assume our names on a receipt in order to get me out of the way. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. This would be my second time coming here and the first time was a little worse than this time, but I chalked it up to them having a bad day as I did not say anything to them on that occasion, but they were going in on another customer. read more

Road tripping to so-cal for Xmas Disney trip with 2 toddlers.. First time at the hand car was in San Bruno (you can't miss it, it's in Chevron gas station near IHOP) on a Monday evening around 5pm. No line however after the service started, 2 cars were already waiting! You pick which service you'd like, a lady will check in with you and you make payment. I opted for the $29.99 Full Service Car Wash- 100% Hand Wash & Towel Dry, Vacuum Interior and clean windows/ dash & cup holders. They start with vacuuming your car, then you pull forward, car wash then you go through the wash and make a U-turn then they hand dry and wipe down in the inside! I fell back in love with my car! They still had some stuff to vacuum but I have kids and it's not detailing. They did their best and I'm impressed! Will be coming back once a month or so! We are ready for our road trip! FYI, had to pay and extra $10 because I have an SUV(Toyota Highlander) which I didn't mind since it's harder to vacuum in the 3rd row! read more

Chevron - Current prices as of 12/08/2025 - Gas Stations Near Me - San Bruno, California

I wish I'd had my antennae up when going to this unscrupulous car wash for the first time. $30 for exterior car wash, well OK. But $25 up charge to vacuum dog hair, for example, gives you a taste of their up charging menu. Avoid at, and also because of, all costs. read more

Chevron - Rip off pricing and ridiculous up charges. - Gas Stations Near Me - San Bruno, California

Pricing is deceptive? Almost to point it's illegal? But they do have it in writing, small print in red ! Pull in with a CRV, it qualified for additional 7.00 bucks (mid size) on top of the 35.99 it turned out to be 43 bucks for a car wash. Soap & water and little elbow grease. Give me a break.! the crew did a good job. The price is that it doesn't sit well with me !just because we're in the climate where everything is expensive some things can turn out to be outrageous unless checked! Will NOT be going back there and I'm gonna give myself some time to do my own self serve for like for 10 bucks and save money. Lesson learned continue to recognize and improve my opinion only. read more

HORRIBLE! They rush, don't even clean the car, never going back, this place just takes your money!

I always drove past this location in San Bruno and never noticed there was a car wash here. After looking for a location that is conveniently price and closer to my home, I was recommended this particular spot and boy! was I surprised. Although, the prices have raise slightly the work hasn't diminished. I recommend going as early as you can, preferably in the a.m. hours. that way you can enjoy a clean vehicle all day and minimize the long wait times. Yes this place is notorious for having long lines that stretch outside of the gas station. but it's because their work speaks volumes. I paid for The "full service car wash" that went from $19 to 22.99. And that means interior, exterior as well as a wax and tire shine. Totally worth it and I am a happy customer. Now, normally I prefer to go and get a hand wash to lower the potential of scratches. But as I inspected my car there were no scratches. I plan on coming back and Hopefully they keep the prices low. read more

I usually wash my own car, but I had some time and decided to try this 100% hand wash. The greeter was nice and answered all my questions. The wait was about 5 mins in line. They did a really thorough job. Got all the tar off. No streaks on the glass. Meanwhile, gas prices were a little higher than average. Nextdoor to Ramada Inn. read more

I now understand the low overall reviews, but I just got a new car and was in the snow, so needed a car wash ASAP, so I remembered this spot. It was okay, but they charged be an extra $5 because my car was really dirty, but if you are going to charge me it, can you make sure my car is actually CLEAN!! They missed the whole back end of the car. If your car is basically clean and you need some water on your car, take it here! read more

Chevron - Gas Stations Near Me - San Bruno, California

Really nice car wash if you have an added on roof rack to your car. They also do vacuum dog hair as well which is super helpful for pet owners like myself. Really convenient and appreciate that it is a hand wash and they do also offer detailing servicing. I will definitely be back again. read more

Getting ready for a road trip, where I'll be the DD, best believe I had to get my car looking prime for the weekend. This car wash is one of, if not the only hand car wash option in the San Bruno area. It's hard to miss considering there always seems to be a line of cars waiting to enter the car wash on the northbound side of El Camino. Here's how the process works: 1) Pick your wash. They have plenty of options if you are looking for interior and exterior dressings. Keep in mind if you have a truck or bigger SUV, there's an additional fee. 2) When it's your turn, you'll exit your vehicle so the attendants can vacuum the inside of the vehicle. You'll then hop back in and make the drive through the actual wash. 3) Inside the wash, they have attendants wiping down the car as it's being soaped, and once you are down, you'll drive back into the lot where the next phase of the exterior and interior dressing begins. 4) Then wait for them to finish and they'll call you over when it's done. A big reason why I came in was because a bird left a huge dropping on my back rear window, and it was mostly missed during the washing the period. As the car was getting dressed, I had to point it out, so that it could get cleaned, but even after that there was still residue left on it. Also, later in the day I ended up having to wipe down my car again, because there was streaks from the products they used. If I'm paying close to $70 for a car wash, I think it's fair for me to expect the car to come out clean. I'd prolly still come back since it's convenient, and if i'm in a rush, this is still the closest place for me, I just don't think it'd be worth it for me to buy their most expensive package. read more

Drove my car across the country for 2,600 miles and boy, it needed a wash! I was supposed to go to Millbrae car wash to find it was temporarily closed, and I found this gem of a car wash instead. For the price of $19.99, you get a pretty decent package of full service car wash. They vacuum your car interiors first, then move on to the hand wash & towel dry. Not to mention, they clean your windows and dashboard including the cup holders. I'm pretty nit picky with other people touching my car but I'm extremely satisfied with the turnout. They managed to remove all the grime from the long driving and make my car squeaky clean. I would say level of service here is unparalleled. The staff are very friendly, and meticulous with the cleaning. Hence, this business deserves a thumbs up! read more

just now NEW I remember this used to be a reputable place for a car wash...well not anymore. 1st, the prices visibly advertised are not the same prices when you have to select and pay. 2nd, their "hand wash" service is not the best. I drove off today, unknowingly with remanence of 3 separate bird droppings. My bad for not getting out of the car to examine, I guess I had too much faith in the service. That was the last time. $30 for a lightly petted wash. read more

I was so excited to see there wasn't a line of cars at the car wash so I made a u-turn and got the super saver wash for $29.99. What a terrible job these guys did. 1) they did a rush job vacuum and left dog fur in the back seat. 2) they didn't dry the bottom half of the car 3) left bug splatter on the windshield and bird poop on the roof 4) didn't even wipe down all the tires. The most disappointing thing to me was it wasn't even busy so they had time to do a good job. They did a half ass rush job at best. I have been coming here since South City Car washed closed. Unfortunately, the quality of wash has gone downhill and the price has gone up. I will not be coming back. read more

I would give them zero star if possible. I went for a platinum car wash and they said they can't do platinum right now as they are short on people. Maximum they can do is super saver. They should have said it beforehand in the sign board. Nonetheless I agree with supersaver. But at the end they did not wipe clean the inside. Attached pic after the cleaning. I wanted to talk to the owner and she didn't even listen. Stay away from this business read more

These guys took a lot of time on my car. Paid 5$ more for my Jeep; I'm ok with that. My car is shines. Got the full package with carpet vacuuming & mat cleaning. Dashboard and seats came out nice and shiny. Reason for only 3 stars is cause only 3 out of 4 of my tires were shined, the windshield still was dirty at the base, and some sticky spots on the exterior weren't taken all off. read more

They were very good in the past. Something has changed. They charge exhorbitant fees for "oversize" vehicles, ranging from $5 for an suv to $20 for a Dodge truck!!!!! Then, just for fun, they charged my debit card twice before they came to me saying my debit card didn't work. Then they charged my visa too!!! That $70 three times!!!! Can't wait for Ducky to open in SSF. Never going back to Chevron. read more

Had been here a few times to get my car washed with no issues but this time I went my car was scratched in the inside. Spoke to the owner with no solution or even an apology. My car is new and there's no way I had those scratches before. read more

Chevron - A big scratch and a much of small ones - Gas Stations Near Me - San Bruno, California

Brought my car here for the 1st time today and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of their work and their friendly service! I got the basic hand carwash for $19.99. They vacuumed the inside floor mats and seats as well. Only reason for not giving 5 stars was because there was still some leftover sand on my seats from a recent trip to the beach. Other than that, I'm happy to report they did an overall good job. I also liked the fact that I could stay inside my car while they washed it. I'll definitely be back! read more

Chevron - a man washing a car with a hose - Gas Stations Near Me - San Bruno, California

Is your car starting to smell funny? Did somebody finally write " wash me please" on the dirt resting on your car? Trying to impress your new date with a great looking carwash! Well you've clicked on the right review! A friend told me about this place and I've fallen in love. I love my car and I know it has needs like anything else. If I'm not at home I'm in my car driving to work, the gym, a party, restaurants or a yelp event. So, you can see my car comes into contact with a lot of dirt and God only knows what else. Hehehe. They are fast and reliable here, but the line can get a little ridiculous. Their prices are also reasonable for any job you need. The only downside is their English is not to good so you have to follow them pointing at things to let you know what to do. AND I not putting them down for it! Everybody has to make a living. I'm just saying to if you don't speak the language to except a long winded conversation. read more

Come here every week for a year and finally the stole from me this place is not worthy of people business. They steal from your car and once you contact the managers they say we never saw u at this location so we can't do anything yet I have a recipt and a bank statement Don't come here they are !!!!!!!!!!!thieves!!!!!! THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE DONT COME HERE THEY STEEL FROM YOU read more

Okay so the first time I went here I rated them 5 stars. This time they did a really crappy job. They missed so many areas on my truck. It's like their sponge never even hit those areas. The wheels were left dirty. The chrome tailpipes were never even touched. Really disappointed. See attached photos. read more

Quick and efficient!! If you're expecting spotless perfection post-car wash, maybe temper your expectations a little bit. But for everyone else looking to get in and get out with a solid wash, this is great! Make sure to tip, too!!! read more

They upped charge on small SUVs even though the sedan in front of me was 2 feet longer. They have no reason to do that I asked why are you charging me more she couldn't explain it I just wanted an explanation. Then she use profanity and started swearing at me. The lady deserves to be fired. I'm trying to get in contact with the owner if everybody knows the number, please let me know. Thank you. Straight rip off the same Chevron in Burlingame doesn't upsell you and would never disrespect a customer like that Falmouth lady did today read more

Got the $19.99 full service carwash. So far, my car is super clean. Certified 100% handwash. Only downside was the long line due to cleaners vacuum your interior first and if it is really filthy then they may take longer. You may need to come in earlier during the weekends or come during the weekdays when everyone is at work. read more

Such a good car wash- they do an amazing job. So grateful I found them! Hard working people here.

I own three vehicles for different purposes. I have recently tried the Chevron Touchless Car Wash to wash all three. My two mid-size SUV's were cleaned well. When I brought my full size pickup, I was charged an additional $7. I learned the Chevron Touchless Car Wash charges an additional $7 fee for oversized vehicles. I totally get that. What I don't get is why they charge that same "oversized" fee for a standard size pick-up. I asked the question, and was advised that my unmodified, full size pick-up truck is considered "oversized". They refused to elaborate any further. I don't have oversized tires, a lift kit, oversized rims or a camper shell on it. It came off the dealer lot just the way I brought it to the car wash. There is a term for the business model being used at this car wash, it's called "Price Gouging". I now go elsewhere to wash all three of my vehicles and thanks to the Chevron Car Wash price gouging policy, I save money. I wouldn't recommend this Car wash to anyone. read more

At this price point, 19.99 is superb Staff is nice and friendly. Really hand wash. I haven't seen real hand wash in north California before. So it's superb. 4 star to staff 5 star for the whole experience read more

I'm reviewing this Chevron location on their car wash service. I was in desperate need for a car wash, so I got their full service wash. I'm NEVER coming here again. Once they finished "cleaning" the inside, I tipped them $5 and got inside, the inside wasn't even clean!! I complained to the lady at the register and she said "the service you got is only dashboard cleaning. It even says it on your receipt" Why is it called FULL SERVICE if it's not actually full service?? Also it doesn't say anything on my receipt that the service I got is only dashboard cleaning. AND on top of that, my dashboard didn't look cleaned.. I should of taken back my $5 tip. So mad. Don't come here if you want a good, thorough outside + inside car wash... read more

Too bad I didn't take before pictures because this car was a mess! They did a really awesome job and in such a short time! These guys work good and fast! read more

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not one of those really big car loving people that spends nice days washing & waxing my car. I'm pretty happy if my car is reasonably clean inside & out - and my car gets washed maybe every 3 months. This car wash is my favorite so far. It's a reasonably priced touchless car wash (pckgs start at $10 for external wash only or $15 for wash & interior). To get the most out of it, make sure your car is prepped (empty trunk, clear car floors, etc). You start off by getting out while they vacuum and then step back in to drive it through... they pre-wash it by hand and then you drive it through the touchless car wash. FInally, you pull around so they can finish dusting the interior windows/dashboard. For those that have kids, it definitely isn't the same as those colorful soapy experiences at the automatic car washes - but I like that this car wash is touchless. No, the wash isn't pristine - but it at least does a good rough job. Not bad for $15 bucks. read more

I GOT MY CAR WASHED TODAY AT CHEVRON SAN BRUNO AND A FEW HOURS LATER SOMEONE MADE $1,000 WORTH OF FRAUDULENT CHARGES ON MY CREDIT CARD!!! THIS IS THE *SECOND* TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AT THIS LOCATION!!! If this has happened to you, tell the owner or San Bruno police. Or post on Yelp so we can document this. Don't bother telling the manager because he is the one who takes your credit card #s. I have a chip credit card. 99% of the time when I make a purchase I insert my card into the credit card machine myself. The only time that I ever physically hand over my credit card to another person is at Chevron car wash in San Bruno. (You wait in line in your car. The manager walks over to your car, takes your credit card, walks over to the office to charge it, then brings it back to you in your car). I have been getting my car washed at San Bruno Chevron for over 20 years. Last year this very same thing happened to me. I went to the car wash and physically handed over my credit card, and then by the next day several fraudulent charges were made. I suspected it was the car wash because it is the only place where I physically hand over my car. But I did not know for sure. Sometimes I charge things online at large companies like Amazon. The woman in the fraud department at my credit card company told me it was unlikely that it was large online companies because they have processes in place. The crazy thing is, today when I went to the car wash today a thought went through my mind that if this happens again I will know it is you. And then it did!!! A few hours later my credit card company texted me and asked if I charged $561 to Saks Fifth Ave, which I definitely did not. I went into my account and saw that $427 had been charged to a sneaker site called GOAT, which I had never heard of. There is always a long line at Chevron San Bruno car wash and I doubt that my review is going to change that. Innocent until proven guilty and I don't have any proof. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE PLEASE POST AND THEN WE WILL KNOW! ***if you do go to San Bruno Chevron, I strongly suggest that you get out of your car, walk over to the office, hand your credit card to the employee and watch him insert it into the machine and hand it back to you. (Without writing down or taking a picture of your card #)*** read more

I collected 10 green papers to get $10 off my next wash and the guy told me they weren't valid and took them all from me without discount and before I paid he told me he was going to give me the discount and then charged me full price and told me he couldn't give me discount . the same guy always works when I come you would think he would remember me . I took so long to collect all 10 just to not get the discount . false advertisement read more

Very good staff and great car wash location. Has been here for years. Good value for your dollars.

Car needed a deep clean and a good vacuuming. Where do I go? To this gas station of course. Hands down the best place since they vacuum as well. Another bonus is that they towel dry your car as well! read more

I will never go there again or recommend them. I went yesterday & the owner was rude & disrespectful. He charged me an extra $10 for my exterior wash because I have a jeep. I had to wait over a half an hour because there were 5 cars in front of me. They are slower than snails. They didn't do a very good job for $29.99. When I left I went to a parking lot to dry the jeep because it was not good. They can't be bothered taking the time to do a good job. I give them a MINUS 10. read more

This is not a good place for washing your car. I came to this place for a through clean of my car using their platinum package paying $49.99. I regretted it dearly. When they clean your car, they use a very carelessly way to do it. In my case, when they shampoo my floor mats, they yank them and ripped off the clips affixing the mats on the floor. When I found the issue and talked to them about the damage, they were not admitting for the damages they caused. More sadly, they were rude and unprofessional. Stay away from this place or you might regret as I did. read more

Don't even think of going there , bad costumers service , unprofessional, and never will be worth your money ..

This place used to do a pretty good job but I won't be back after my last visit. They locked my keys in my vehicle. I understand accidents happen but they offered no sort of apology or any type of assistance or anything for the inconvenience. I ended up having to use my own AAA to get back into my vehicle. I was also disappointed how my vehicle came out especially with the ten dollar xl vehicle fee. I'll go elsewhere in the future read more
