This is the best priced gas in the area. The car wash has excellent service. The staff are always helpful and courteous. If you're in need of a fill up, whether it's your car or your belly, this is a stop that'll feed you both.

poor wash system. I washed my car right after a road trip (lots of bugs) Knowing it would be tough, I bought the highest priced exterior wash. I had realistic expectations as I've done this before at other car washes and knew it might take a couple of runs through the car wash to get all of the bugs off. I was surprised at how little came off after the first wash. You wouldn't be able to tell I had even run it through a professional car wash. I talked to management, and was shocked to hear him just try to up-sell me! (somehow their best exterior wash wouldn't clean the car, but if I pay for interior cleaning...the outside would get clean too! HA!) After back and forth, he agreed to let me go through a second time, but absolutely refused to refund under any circumstance. After the second wash a few more bugs came off, but it was still extremely dirty. I came home and easily wiped it off with a rag (so their machines are lame!) Attached picture is of my car after two washes through their tunnel! This car wash would only get your car clean if you came every week to just get loose dust, but no bug splatters...but then again, going to a "soft-touch" wash every week will damage your clear coat over time. (only use "touchless" washes for your regular car washes if you care about the longevity of the paint.) I'm not coming back here again...why would I?

After the first visit here I was disappointed with the result of express car wash for 14$. Gave them one more chance and you can see the same result showed on pics. Wasn’t able to take photos of the car body, but there were the same things. It was the lest time I visited this car wash. And it’s my first review. Just imagine how I’m disappointed.

My wife paid full service and this was the inside of the truck? Really? I think you can do better for what we paid. Also the tired details were horrible.

I recently visited this car wash and I couldn’t be happier with the service! My car came out spotless, with every detail attended to, from the wheels to the interior. The staff especially Naz was friendly and efficient, and I didn’t have to wait long. I loved the added touch of a fresh scent inside, making my car feel brand new again. The prices were very reasonable for the quality, and they offer a variety of packages to suit different needs. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a thorough, professional car wash!for a smooth experience every time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly gas station!

This car wash does a really good job. Hard to find a car wash in the area that actually cleans my truck and does a great job when they wipe it down. So many other car washes leave debris behind. I’ll keep using this place as my go to when I need a vehicle cleaned.

They make it very easy (and reasonable price) to keep your car always clean. You just move through a tunnel and your car gets cleaned and dried in a couple of minutes. If you want to clean more, they either offer (for extra charge) their staff to clean and shine exterior and interior OR provide damp microfiber towels and plenty of vacuums so you can clean it yourself. Highly recommend.

The car wash was okay; however, I paid for the gold full service wash which is supposed to come with vacuuming on the interior and a whole bunch of other stuff. All I saw them do was dry the exterior and wash the inside of the windows. The carpet on the inside did not look vacuumed at all and there was still dirt in the carpet.

Been driving from RSM for a full service here for years now and so happy w my clean car. Have done details for 2 of our cars, as well, and they were great. Hardworking, friendly, consistently good service. Every time I try another place that’s closer to where we live, I’m disappointed and return.

They do decent job for full service, price is a little bit overpriced but overall better than others since most of then are not good at least around this area, vacuuming is good wiping the window is good but wiping the dashboard is not much or actually it depends on who is doing it. Overall I recommend this carwash for full service around this area

If I can give 0 stars, I will definitely give 0 stars without hesitation! I'm really disappointed. The left and right rags in the car wash aisle won't rotate. Only a few heavy rags on the top are slapping the car glass, and I feel like the glass is about to be smashed. Although there are many bubbles, there is no rag to rotate, and the bubbles are washed away in the end. The staff will only recommend manual cleaning for you. Although it was given to me again in the end, it was all over again, but nothing was cleaned, not even the slapped glass! Very disappointed! never again!

Great price and a quality tunnel car wash with unlimited car wash membership. I prefer to use the express service, towels and vacuums are provided at no charge. They also have a mini mart Chevron gas station, and public bathrooms. The staff is overall us on point and professional especially Ricardo, thanks for recommending the membership. I also want to give a shout out to Hugo in the store for the great service he always provides as well!

Touchless automatic car wash and multiple self wash bays. It is always well lit and clean. I have driven out of my way to easy my truck at this car wash.

DON'T pay extra for them to vacuum and wipe the inside of your vehicle. As you can tell by the photos they barely vacuumed and didn't wipe down anything. I know how dirty the truck was and was not expecting for the time/price for it to be brand new. However I did expect them to properly vacuum the floor, seats, and side door pockets (Reason why I made sure I emptied the truck so nothing was in their way). They didn't even do the seats!! They didn't even wipe the cup holders or steering wheel. Just got back to my house right now and I took a rag and it came right off. No cleaning solution or nothing. So I know for a fact they didn't even touch it. Didn't even do the windows fully- dirt and spots everywhere. Never touched the review mirror. Absolutely waste of money/tip and time. DON'T GO HERE

I paid $24 for a full car wash that was supposed to include interior cleaning, and the entire process took about 7-8 minutes. They barely did the minimum — they didn’t even clean a noticeable part of the car’s exterior (see the pic). I’m honestly disappointed with the service and don’t feel like it was worth what I paid.

I brought my car here on August 30th and left with paint chipped off the driver’s side. The damage was not there before the wash. I immediately asked to speak with the manager (Andres) but after waiting over an hour and a half, I was told he was “on lunch” and he never came out. Another employee briefly showed me blurry footage taken on his phone that didn’t clearly show my car. Eventually, an employee named Nelson came out instead. He was rude and unprofessional. He refused to show the video again, accused me of lying, and denied me an incident report. When I asked for proper documentation, he became aggressive and told me to leave or he would call the police to remove me from the property. This business damaged my car, refused to take responsibility, and treated me with hostility. If they damage your vehicle, don’t expect honesty, professionalism, or accountability. I strongly recommend avoiding this car wash.

I personally loved this car wash for what it is... It's got great amenities and a crazy good price. At 8 bucks for the basic, that's a steal and that's all I needed. Nothing fancy They have strong vacuums and air nozzles. And they include drying towels too. It wasn't busy and my car seemed clean after with no obvious missed spots. There seems to be a lot of bad reviews for this but tbh I had a great experience lol
