The bathrooms weren't in great shape, but were passable.

I cancelled the transaction and left. Two days later I saw a $100 charge on my card from this gas station. I went in today to talk to the owner about it. He was so RUDE!! He told me it's not his problem and he won't do anything about it. No apology. Nothing. The woman behind me had put $30 into the lotto machine while I was there and never got her lotto tickets. The owner said he wouldn't help her either. He started raising his voice and continuing to be rude. All of us were just floored that he would speak to customers this way. This is the second bad experience I have had at this gas station. Needless to say I won't be returning.

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.

It was so unwelcoming, so irritating, could not ask him for anything, because he wasn't paying attention. Clearly, he doesn't like his job, but you are known by the company you keep and a business is only as good as it's weakest link. They would be better off, hiring someone from Kentucky fried chicken. At least you would be greeted with a smile when you walked in. Instead of some apathetic person with an attitude, Blairing punk rock music so loud. Clearly, the owners are not paying attention. Next time I will go down one exit to 41 st Avenue where there are plenty of gas stations. The Union 76 by the highway 1 or the Shell station on the corner of Capitola and 41st. Are both very nice. Very welcoming when you walk in. Clearly, this young man behind the cash register here has never signed the front of a check only The back. If this was his company, he'd be a little more mature.

I usually don't leave reviews, especially for this place since I've had many bad experiences here…read more The staff is often cold, unfriendly, and never greet you. I even questioned if the Yelp photos were real because they don't match this store at all. I come in daily and have never seen those areas. That said, today was different. A middle aged man with long hair helped me and his customer service was excellent. He greeted me the moment I walked in, made friendly conversation about products and scratchers, and was genuinely pleasant. It stood out because it is so rare here. I didn't catch his name but his attitude completely changed my experience. Five stars for him alone.

I stood there for 10 min. No one made eye contact or acknowledge me. Finally a girl came and asked to take my order I asked for a medium soda and to talk to manager...she just walked away without taking my order. She talked to the first guy that had walked away. He spoke to her in Spanish and refused to ask what I needed. I finally walked to where they were standing (there was a line of about 3-4 people behind me) and said I wanted to know if someone turned in keys last night. He spoke to me in Spanish only and walked around the kitchen came back and said no. He never checked in the office to see if my keys had been. Turned in. I don't want to think it but his actions showed he did not want to help me because Im white. Racism of every kind these days. Hope he never loses his car keys.

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.
