Smokes beer, wine, and quick store with gas. Used to work there when it was Birmingham arco, and Texico, and mobile, I still have my 40 yr old hat from arco. When it was a full service island gas station at 16 yrs old . I earned highest sales as an attendant for auto parts and coolant, whipers, belts hoses and fuel filters and treatment. Also worked as a mechanic their. At 58 and homeless I still go there to get things. Daniel. W.

Just a post of WARNING: If you're concerned about COVID safety while getting a carwash, Valero is NOT truthful about their standards. I called and asked if they're using gloves and masks while cleaning cars and the man I spoke with, Robbie, said everyone wears masks and gloves. I also asked if there had been any confirmed COVID cases with their employees and he said 'no'. I then drove to Valero for a wash and saw attendants were wearing gloves and masks. I proceeded to get a carwash. Upon my car's exit from the wash, I noticed several unmasked and ungloved workers inside my car finishing up the wash. As I approached my car, I asked one worker why not everyone was wearing masks and he shrugged and replied "I guess it's personal preference." Based upon this inconsistency I'm not sure I could take Robbie's word at there being no confirmed COVID cases among their employees.

Horrible. One big sales pitch. I showed up with a LITTLE mud on my truck and they wanted an additional $40 to just get the mud off. Every time you go it's a big sales pitch. You bring a coupon and they up sell you and tell you that you need more and that wash isn't a good one. Go somewhere else. But if you do go there bring a towel to dry your own car off as they will not do this for you...

I always buy me beer there. They have a walk-in beer closet. Munchies a plus. Not to mention they have a good selection on wine. The guys there know me and always greet me. Very very awesome customer service.

This gas station has one of the best selections of beverages, and better than many grocery stores. As well as one of the lowest gas prices in the area.

I came here to try to get gas and , when there wasn't any change in my gas tank mileage left on tank , I asked for a refund after going to chevron across the street and putting the same amount and receiving lots of gas , the owner/manager whatever tested the pump and it was running but , I just don't trust them. So I'm now a loyal customer of higher quality gas stations like chevron or shell. It could have been coincidence but I'd just rather pay for better quality gas and anyway you get more miles out of it than regular unleaded gas. Now I can use my vons rewards thanks to this experience and I paid $2.70 for premium yesterday at the vons gas station in PB!!

I only come to this car cash because of its convenience. The wash is always just okay. You get the same quality for the basic wash (which is 15 bucks and overpriced if you ask me) as you do for the $40 wash. I have to re-wipe down the inside as it is always sub-par. The guy always tries to charge extra, wipe down seats? Extra. Have dog hair? Extra. Extra dirt? Extra cost. Basic wash is worth it if you just want a quick, mediocre wash. Otherwise I'd rather not go here

This corner is popping, not only do they have a car wash, but a 24 hour Mexican food joint attached called El Pueblo, but Valero gets the nod as being consistently the lowest gas in the area. Consistently up to a dime cheaper than the Chevron across the street and frankly it’s easier to enter and exit. It’s small for having all those offerings as there is no real parking and when the line gets backed up it’s a little crammed. They do their best to keep it clean and stocked at the pumps, but they do a much better job of keeping the beer/liquor stocked. Their snack game isn’t on that “on the run” level, but they have some things many places don’t like fire wood, eye patches, Worcestershire sauce. The staff can be gruff as it’s still a gas station and it’s not great for filling up if you have a trailer or RV, but it’s right off the freeway. Their craft beer selection is impressive for any gas station.

At NE corner of Interstate 5 and Birmingham. Easy on and off freeway. Gas is usually less than at neighboring exits. But ARCO on SW corner is cheaper still. Convenience store with all the expected items. However, Unusually good wine selection. Also El Pueblo restaurant with outdoor seating only is a local favorite in same building. Car wash and detailing available on site.

Their chili rellenos and carnitas tacos are really good but mostly I come for the fish tacos. I really wish they would do two things one is make sure the batter is all the way fried sometimes I get the fish tacos and the batter is still gooey inside. So I often ask for well done so they'll be crispy throughout. Also wonder if they would consider doing other types of fish tacos namely like tacos Marlin or sea bass or something cuz I'm not really fond of tilapia. Anyways I've been coming here for years and will probably continue to do so thanks for being here.

Busy place. Not too many gas pumps, but the price is always good. Nice small (but well stocked) convenience store. There's a full service Hand Car Wash and and EXCELLENT 24hr Taco Shop "El Pueblo" attached.

Hold on, this car wash is a crazy deal. Mini detailing for $27. And $1.29 fish tacos at the Mexican restaurant while I wait? I owe these people more money!

Do not get your car washed here!! They damaged my car so badly that they had to tow it out of their own carwash! They broke a steel ball joint on my car, which two tow truck drivers and one mechanic all confirmed was caused by impact. I'm not sure what they did to my car while they drove it through their carwash, but I drove it onto their lot without a problem and it was only on 3 wheels when I had it returned to me. Edit: Due to the attempted claims by the business owner that this never happened, I am attaching a photo.

Best car wash I’ve ever went to service was amazing. The entire staff was friendly and fast. Having a Tesla I’m very selective on where I take my car. The guys at Cardiff Hand Car wash made me feel very comfortable. The GM Nony made sure to check on me at the end. Thank you guys and I’ll see you again soon now that I have my membership. Such a good value
