Very misleading advertising. This gas station has large signs everywhere saying "20¢ per gallon fuel discount with car wash purchase," but every time I come here, I never actually receive the discount. Today I specifically went inside and prepaid for BOTH the car wash and the gas together. The cashier charged me $39 total ($30 gas + $9 car wash), but the pump still charged the full gas price of $6.299 per gallon with absolutely no 20¢ discount applied. The receipts clearly show: * Car wash purchased * Gas purchased * Full price charged at the pump * No discount reflected anywhere This feels deceptive and dishonest because the promotion is advertised very prominently, yet customers are not receiving the advertised savings. If you offer a discount, honor it. Otherwise, remove the signs. Very disappointed. I've noticed this happening multiple times here already. read more

I came here to get a car wash and pay for the ticket ahead a the pump then I wait 25 minutes in line at the car wash for them to tell me it's out of order to come back another day. I ask for a refund they rejected and said the code for the car wash is valid anytime. So I go back the next day early morning, wait in line for 15 minutes for them to come out and say the same thing! " it's out of order, let me try to reset it" As I get out of line and go park in front of the gas station to ask for a refund he gets it to work and now 4 new cars showed up and I asked if I can cut the new cars since I was next in line. He looks at me and says no you have to wait because they're waiting just like you. MIND YOU HES THE SAME GUY FROM THE DAY BEFORE WHO TOLD ME TO COME BACK. Rude as they can be!

I have been looking for a Touchless Carwash that is not too far from my home. So far, this is the closest one to my home. I had a ceramic finish put on my car to protect the paint. The person who put the finish on my car suggested that I get a touchless carwash--to protect the ceramic finish. However, when I searched online for a touchless carwash--I had a gard time finding one that really is touchless. This one is touchless. Pros: This place is touchless!!! Friendly staff Reasonable price I liked the results There is a punch card: 5 washes and the 6th is free Cons: I couldn't easily find where to put. the code It wasn't really clear to me how long to stay where the blower is read more

Notable is the handwashing station at the pumps and the plastic gloves that are offered. Very covid approved place. Very convenient to me and good gas prices. A little annoying how they try to sell you a car wash at the pump even when the car wash is closed. Don't buy one by accident at off hours... I don't think anybody is there to refund you after certain hours either. Very unique to have a hand washing station at the pump. I think sometimes I've heard people who fuel up with diesel that it can get all over - for that reason its good to have. Not sure on the quality of gas - I've tried this a few times a full tank each time with 91. Things seem ok. No knocking or pinging in my Jetta. I try mostly to get Chevron with that car though these days after the good mechanics at Hayward Volkswagen saved it from slowly slipping into heapdoom. They tell me all fuel in the USA is inferior to whats in Germany and the German car needs German fuel... and that the best here is Shell or Chevron. I like that the pumps are open late. Even if the store and carwash is closed you can still come here for gas. Things are quiet in the area and no riff raff. Better than Park Street no name gas stations. 3.5 stars. read more

Sorry I've been using this car wash for a while and it seems like they just open the car wash whenever they feel like. Because I've had times when I show up at 5:30 ish cause I get off work early and it's open but half the time they have the cones in the way so like it's unreliable. Not to mention I get the ultimate wash and they're cheating out on the soaps because they don't use all the colorful soaps anymore they just use the yellow one it doesn't even smell the same.....like what am I paying for on the ultimate wash then. I don't know of any other touchless car washes in the area otherwise I would find another one.....cause I've just about had it with this one. read more

"Aisle 1" is the gas station/ carwash of Nobhill Foods in Alameda. You shop in the Nobhill supermarket, and then get a discount on a gas purchase. Thus, it creates an incentive to shop more at Nobhill. The big attraction to this gas station is the touchless carwash. Well, maybe it's also cheaper gas prices too! I used the touchless carwash once, and it didn't really do a good job. I guess it has to do with how dirty your car is, and how well the carwash is working that day. What's a "touchless carwash?" A touchless carwash uses strong chemicals to wash your car. Then powerful rinse jets spray off the chemicals. Then strong dryers blow off remaining water and chemicals. There's no huge brushes or rollers to damage your car's finish. Anyway, everyone seems to like the "touchless" feature, because there's always a line to use the carwash. Meanwhile, the gas station is nice. Lots of space, well lit at night, and looks bright and shiny. read more

Using the car wash today. It should not take close to an hour wait to get your car wash. I have gone to other automatic car washes and they are faster than this place. I paid for my car was at 1:00pm and its now 1:40 and theres still two cars ahead of me and one inside the carwash read more

I was getting gas here the other day and needed the bathroom. I thought about waiting, because who wants to use the bathroom at a gas station, they are notoriously disgusting.

It's the car wash for me! Always on point, but make sure you're prepared to wait a bit if it's a nice day cars do get backed up past the actual car wash lane. Prices are reasonable and the equipment is always working, never a delay. Thanks guys! read more

Car wash is only really decent in emergency- it left a lot of schmutz still there after a cycle, buuut the shop is great, the staff are friendly, polite, and helpful, and as far as station markers go they have decent selection of zoom-zooms and wh-whams, plus cigs and slushy for hot days read more

I'm new to the area. I found the car wash options to be limited. I ended up at Nob Hill for a quick wash. For a machine wash, I was more than satisfied. Pro tip: Saturdays during late morning/early afternoons hours require a meaningful wait time. read more

Carwash is met. Okay for getting the worst off, but will not get bird crap off completely.

I've been coming here to get my car washed for many years. And I figured it was time I give a little shout out to the amazing staff. They are always so amazingly friendly every time I come in. They keep me coming back. It's a level of service you don't expect from a gas station. They are all amazing! Thank you for always being so friendly and helpful. Always exceed my expectations. :-) read more

Do Not Use. 2 Reasons, It does not effectively wash your car and will leave spots after it has "washed" it. If you tell management this, they will gaslight you and tell you it has been washed and is not the responsibility of the car wash to clean those spots. read more

A month ago I was in line and it appeared their system broke just when I was next to get washed. Rightfully they refunded everyone. At that point they still did not have their Ultimate Wash option for $10. I just got my car washed a week ago and to my surprise, they've upgraded all their equipment. Everything is working again and looks even NEWER too. The machine you pay in line looks cleaner and newer as well! They finally have their Ultimate Wash option available but keep in mind they have NEW prices now as well! Which is fair considering the cost needed for their initial tech upgrade! Their ultimate wash is now $13 compare to what it was before. The next lower tiers was $11and $9 wash. Frankly! After their upgrade I notice my car rims stayed shinier longer even after a week! I'm honestly quite impressed! Will come back again! read more

Clean and usually with a few free slots. The shopping center tends to be full of customers frequenting other businesses. When at the pump you can pay for a car wash, a rather convenient feature. read more

Convenient location for someone running errands like me. Gas, grocery, UPS, Starbucks, Baskin Robbins, Round Table, Hawaiian, to name a few business located in this shopping center. So far their gas prices are a bit lower than competitors, so that's a huge plus. read more

This is the closest and cheapest car wash to Alameda Bay Farm. I took off a star because sometimes my car is still dirty and you're not able to rewash like at most car washes since it is machine operated and there is no one there monitoring the line. The line is usually extremely long so it takes a while. Sometimes I feel like the automated machine misses some sections of the car. read more

Nob Hill Aisle 1 - Inside car wash - Gas Stations Near Me - Alameda, California

Went to the car wash this morning and as usual there was a line for the card wash. Bought gas and received a discount with the added car wash. Waited about 8 minutes. The technology was working well and they even had the extra time added to the dryer which really helped my car dry rather fast. Definitely would go back for a quick wash not as a clean as a hand wash but for a quick drive thru it was not bad. read more

This review is for the car wash and not the gas station itself. Prices have gone up over the years, and the ultimate wash is now $12. I go here when I need the exterior of my car washed (in other words, the inside is fine.) It does an okay job and gets most surface-level dirt off, but won't get stubborn stains off, like presents left by birds =P I've been to better drive-through car washes, hence the 3 stars. The line and wait can be long starting around 4pm on weekdays and throughout the day on weekends, so if you're able to go during the day on weekdays, I'd try that. The car wash itself takes about 6-7 minutes. On two occasions, I got stuck in the car wash in the middle of the wash--machine just stopped with no warning. I wasn't about to step out of the car--what if the car wash started again?--so I looked up Aisle 1 on my phone, called the gas station and let them know what was going on. Both times, the attendant was quick to arrive and fix the problem, as well as comp the car wash. read more

Why is the line always so long here? Never at any other car washes in the Bay area. Came here today in hopes of summoning much needed rain lol and the wash was meh, not impressed for that long of a wait. read more

Bought groceries at Nob Hill, then because of the discount we bought gas, all good. Then we decided to get our car washed right there. Paid $12.00 for the very best wash and waited 30 minutes for 5 cars in front of us. Ok so I guess a long wait is okay if the job gets done. But my car came out as dirty as it went in. This particular touchless system only gets the loose dirt it seems. Look at the pictures of us writing our names in the dirt! Epic Rip-Off!!! I'll go back to Aisle One or Nob Hill about this! read more

Ultimate car wash is $10.00 as of 10/26/2018 and does a great job. It gets the bird crap off my car and is touchless. At times, the machine that takes payment is broken, as are the machines used to vacuum and add freshener. I like blasting my country western music while watching the blue/yellow/green foam cloud up my windows. Makes me imagine that I'm riding a pony in the rain to some cowboy who's in love with me and my pony! Awwwwww!!!! But DANGER, Will Robinson! The dryer will tear the rubber off your wipers - for real! Ugh!!! read more

This is a great place to shop. The prices are reasonable, and I love how every time I answer the produce area. Every fruit and vegetable looks amazing and the employees are really nice and helpful. Also, the guy told me to download the app to stack up rewards points that I can use on gas and also discounts when I shop for my groceries. read more
