Gas line was packed bc of a driver not abiding by the lane direction arrows so I waited 15min to get a pump (I was stuck in between 2 vehicles).

Oh well now I know to wait until construction is complete.

On 03/31/2026 at approximately mid-morning, an incident occurred at the gas station located at 8380…read moreClairemont Mesa Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92111. My employee experienced an issue with his fuel card at the pump and approached the attendant on duty for assistance. The attendant took the card from his hand and stated it was declined. He calmly explained the card had been having issues and asked to read the message on the machine so he could accurately report it to his employer. Instead of assisting, the attendant responded with impatience. The situation escalated when the attendant asked if he knew the card's code. He confirmed that he did, reiterating that he simply needed to relay the machine's message. The attendant then made an inappropriate and derogatory remark, asking, "what are you retarded?" When my employee stated that such language was not acceptable, the attendant dismissed the concern and replied, "you're calling yourself retarded again." This account is provided factually and without exaggeration. Regardless of circumstance, there is no justification for derogatory language or unprofessional conduct toward a customer requesting basic assistance. Management may wish to review this incident and reinforce appropriate standards of customer interaction. Customers should be able to expect respectful, professional communication at all times.

So I wanted to go in, there was an older gentleman standing at the register on his phone or something. The sign on the door that says would return back at 3. Well its 3:26 am.

So i return to my car and magically he goes to the door and then removes the sign. I left. I don't want to give my money to businesses who have employees who don't follow business protocol or keep the door locked beyond the time stated on the door and your clearly just standing there.

Pretty good for a drive-in carwash. Haven't noticed any damage yet, so I guess that's good…read more So you literally drive your car into this garage and the machine runs up and down the length of your car to do its thing. I must say I was a little hesitant about getting it done here because it looks a bit sketch but I was just looking for a basic wash to get rid of the road debris and dust buildup from the past couple quarantine weeks, so expectations weren't high. I pulled up and selected my wash from options ranging from $8-$10, plugged my card in and it shot out a receipt. The lights then instruct you to pull forward and stop and the wash moves around your car. The dry wasn't too bad although the side view mirrors don't get much love and still ended up with water spots but that's what you expect when there isn't a hand dry present anyway. Not a bad option if you want a basic, no frills exterior wash.

It was a decent car wash. They wiped down the interior and did fine on the outside…read more I'm just weirded out by the pricing. The guy at the counter was about to ring me up for $9.00, but my honesty got the better of me and I said I went for the $12.00 wash special as was advertised. So he rung me up for that instead, and when I asked him what the difference was between the services he mumbled something unintelligible. Come to find after reading other reviews on here that the $9.00 service is the same damn thing (wash, vacuum, and wipe down). So, all in all, not bad. I'd just have to remember to just throw down $9.00 next time and be firm about it.
