    This Valero Gas Station is one of the cheapest gas stations really in downtown Walnut Creek area, has about 12 gas pump stations, & kudos they have a Car Wash =) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zNUWhNdNRi-t7ZrGk2Zg2A?select=Cs3W_lBN4nDT87E_8PwMoQ There's an Arco Gas Station opposite side of them on Ygnacio Valley Rd, guess it just depends if you're driving West or East on this road. I personally just prefer Valero 'cuz they take credit card & debit versus Arco takes debit only. Anywho, my Durango has been in dire need of a wash. Got their "Thrifty Wash" (basic) for $5.99 plus $1.00 since I didn't get any gas. $6.99 later & my baby is clean & ready for the week *tee-hee* ------------------------- GAS PRICES IN YOUR AREA http://cbs5.com/search/Link.ashx?R=http://cbs5.com/gasprices

    Well I've never had any problems with gas or pricing here. But I honestly don't pay cash for anything (especially gas - Discover gives me 5% back!) so I don't even look at prices. I drive a 66 Mustang and an SUV so my average mpg isn't great. (Before you frown, I don't drive much, and when I'm out with my husband we drive his hybrid). All in all, gas prices don't really bother me. But I don't get gas here often. I come for the food. I love gas stations with food inside. The Chevron next to my house has awesome employees but a totally weak sauce Food Mart. This Valero has a pretty decent inventory. A wall of drinks and several aisles of snacks. I get friendly service when I go in. Never had any complaints about the employees. I like all the people working here. :)

    AFTER their crappy car wash. What a rip off.

    Gas prices just meh unless you buy their crappy car wash. Check out my pictures for the results of THAT mistake. And that after someone got stuck in the machine with three people ahead of me making for a half hour wait. And THAT after it broke down while I was in line the first time I tried to use my code. I won't be back except maybe for gas if I don't feel like driving out of my way for a better price.

    The screen from my window sill level. About 3 1/2 feet away.

    I left this gas station two stars because while I have never had a problem with the gas or store, the carwash is absolutely ridiculous. Let me go step by step. First of all, the carwash takes about 5 minutes PER CAR. So if you are 4th in line, expect to wait about 20 minutes to get into the car wash. When you finally do get to the carwash, the entry machine is built for all sizes of vehicles. That must include monster trucks. I don't own a low-slung car, but I still had to reach half my body outside the window to reach the screen. I can't imagine if I was in a sports car! Please see the attached photo. the screen is a good three and a half feet from my window. And is about four and a half feet off the ground. That is a lot when you're sitting in your car. When you finally get done contorting your body to enter your receipt code, the Car Wash starts. The foam starts spraying and it only got to my windshield. Then it stopped. But actually that doesn't matter because when the machine came back over my car, it sprayed water, washing all of the foam off my car. There was no more foam at any time. The wash wheels are covered in what I think is rubber lashes. Not the best for your car. Basically this just rubbed these rubber lashes all over your car with recycled water only for 4 minutes. Thank God I waited until there was nobody in the car wash to do this, or I would have been absolutely infuriated having to wait 20 minutes for this. Overall, please do yourself a favor and DO NOT get a carwash here. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Li'l Bear or any other car wash. You will be much, much happier you did. I am not a shill for li'l bear, but they have never done less than an adequate job. Which is much more than I can say for this place. Edit: I just noticed (wash day+2) my wheels were not washed AT ALL. RIDICULOUS! Just reduced my rating from 2 to 1 stars. This is flat-out thievery.

    This is no longer a Valero. It is an Andoil. Still has the drive thru car wash. Prices are similar to other stations around.

    Good location, easy gas up. For some reason, gas is cheaper in Walnut Creek ( compared to Alameda).

For around 40 bucks it was OK. The guy who greeted me did not have top-notch customer service skills. He actually walked away from me while I was asking a question. I wanted to know where I was supposed to go with the paper ticket he handed me, and I wanted to show him some spots where a fruit tree had left deposits on my car that I wanted Autopia to get clean. Turns out you go and pay over-the-counter, and then they have this very grim room off to the side with metal chairs where you wait. Their speakers don't work great so it's a little bit hard to hear the announcements when the cars are ready. They didn't get my vehicle completely clean and apparently didn't really take a good look at it before they released it to me, but there was a young man with a rag who scrubbed off the bits for me and I tipped him five bucks for that. They did a pretty OK job on the inside of the car. I'll probably go back. It was relatively fast and the couple things I pointed out are fixable.

My wife and I were so thrilled to have received 10% off because it was our 1st time coming here. That was so nice of them. Well.. that's where the positive ends. Now trust me, they stay loaded with cars. So never a dull moment I'm sure. But... they took out car after we chose our service. By the time we say down... it was rolling out washed.. Iol. The guy begins to do what he does after it comes out. No lies, he was done in 5 mins. I told my wife that did not make sense. However, she gave a clear when she checked... except.. she saw that the trunk was not cleaned out and they sprayed no good smell in the car upon finished. He even waited to get a tip and then walked off with an attitude when he did not receive one. Someone else was called over to to get the car vacuumed. He did not even bring it back to where we were standing when he got it. We had to walk to him smh. That's not it though. I went and inspected because most places do not correctly was behind the rear view mirror. They didn't! It was hard stuff left and just filthy. I inspected more. They did not wipe the grill clean, the part under the mirror on the trunk and the dashboard had not been wiped. It was horrible. We had to call someone over 3 separate times and then I got the manager. His name is Ricardo and he was very very very apologetic and offered to make things right.

We've had both the regular wash and the wash-and-wax service, and every visit has been excellent.

He told me $25 extra dollars and then went down to $20 when I was thinking about it. I said okay fine. After the guy was done waxing my car he had me send him the money via Venmo. I sent him a Venmo but he kept saying he didn't get it and that I needed to send it to him again. I was charged on my side but he kept showing me his Venmo QR code and said again. I made him go to his Home Screen and BAM there was the money I sent him the first time. It was a weird experience and felt a bit shady. Didn't get out the scratches that I paid the wax for. I mite be naive when it comes to car stuff. The inside wasn't vacuumed as much as I wanted which was the main reason for my visit. They didn't wipe a lot of things down on the interior. I paid $70 for a job that I should have just did myself. I will never go back to this place

They recommended that I do detailing, but said that they couldn't promise anything. Fair enough. However, I don't believe that they did the best that they could, neither on the stains nor in general. When I first came over to my car after they called me, there were still sunscreen stains clearly showing on a lot of the areas that I had pointed out to the cashier. It was only when I pointed to them multiple times that the guy doing the detailing rather grudgingly went back over them. My car looked better after that, but it was frustrating that I had to ask him to go over it again. So I left, and the next time I got out of my car and looked more closely at my driver side door, I see fingerprints! This was a really sloppy job. I'm bummed because it's such a convenient location and honestly, I was ready to give them the benefit of the doubt over all these other negative reviews. I would still possibly go back for the cheaper car wash, but if your car needs any extra TLC, I do not recommend this place.
