Mobil Gas Station and Car Wash

Used to be good. Always tipped them well, but lately they don’t care about leaving spots on the car to dry. Will start going elsewhere.

This is my regular gas station. And while they have the lowest prices in the immediate area, fully 8 of 10 times the receipt does NOT come out of the gas pump!
So, the hassle of going into the cashiers booth and waiting on line to get a receipt continues despite repeated requests for them to remedy the situation.

Carwash: The carwash here is just like any other automatic car wash place. It gets the job done but does not do an immaculate job. The workers do hand dry it after your car has been washed and also quickly detail the interior. The pricing isn’t bad (around $ 12 for basic interior and exterior cleaning). If it rains within 2 days after getting your car washed here you can bring it back for another FREE clean. Also, attached to every receipt is a coupon for a discount on your next wash.
Gas Station: The prices for gas seem reasonable in comparison with surrounding gas stations (I haven’t noticed a huge difference). The area can get congested especially during the day when the car wash is open. The gas lanes are designed for 3 cars in a lane at 1 time and the lane is one way so once you pull up to the pump you have to wait for the cars in front of you to leave. The problem happens when there is also a line for the carwash and then you get stuck in your gas lane– I’ve had to reverse out of there more than once– Thank God for the backup camera! I’ve pumped gas here late at night and the pump is open, but there are always sketchy people who hang out on the sidewalk in front of the store portion– Ladies may want to bring a «body guard» with you.

Acceptable price and acceptable services. * But they need to change vacuum!!! I’m unhappy for inside cleaning.

Worst customer service ever!!! I have been sitting in the parking lot with a flat tire waiting for a tow truck. Remind you in am in my business clothes on my way to work (not looking like a bum or scummy person) I politely as to use their restroom while I was waiting for the tow truck and they told me, «no, we have struck rules here and you can go across the street to use the park restrooms.» Are you kidding me!!! Never coming here again!

Went to Shell on Pacific Hwy this morning. Gas pump had note «credit card not working pay inside». Went inside as instructed and gave CC. Inquired 2x about Ralph’s discount card. Replied «no problem» each time. Went into to pay and no Ralph’s points. Threw me a dollar «Sorry»…

Have been searching for a gas station downtown for quite some time… reasonably priced. can get in/​out in 15mins if you do the quick wash for under 20.00.

It’s close to the airport. That’s about all it’s got going for it.

This is a lousy car wash. I hate shelling out 11.95 for a car wash which moves dirt v removes dirt. Whatever, I’m glad I went for the cheap option.
The good news about this out of town car wash was my car didn’t smell worse as my last venture to Encino caused.
So, 2 stars v 1.
I would not go back.

Stopped by this gas station before going to the USS Midway. Conveniently located between the city and the airport for everyone who has a rental and needs to fill up last minute.
Average services and nothing to rave about, but I have 3 complaints:
1. Lanes are marked with arrows. This makes it hard for people coming in from other directions and requires extra turns if the only machine open doesn’t match your direction and gas tank side.
2. Half of the squeegees are missing. I’m trying to be efficient with my window cleaning but I can’t do that if the closest squeegee is on the other side.
3. Cracked glass on one of the displays. Makes you think what went down there to make it happen. Hard to see and not very safe.

I’m not terribly familiar with SD proper, but when I needed gasoline and I consulted the Unilocal app, this was the closest and most convenient station that came up. It’s right near the airport for you rental car folks, so it could be a good option if you miss one coming off the freeway.
It was a Saturday morning and I fueled up. I paid waaaay more than I wanted to, but that’s the price of convenience. Apparently they have a big car wash, but I opted not to get it.
It’s not a real shiny place, not real fancy, kinda pricey, but a mostly convenient (watch the enter only/​exit only signs) place to fuel up. So dive in and get gassed and get back out to enjoy San Diego. There are certainly better things to do in this town than hang out at a gas station.

This is my go to gas station before returning my rental at the SD airport. It is more pricey but worth it for the convenience. The other nit is that it is hard to merge back when you want to leave because of the location. Get out your best smile and hopefully a nice person will let you in.

Awesome full service car wash for only $ 10.99??? Yup! And we waited less than 10 minutes!

Bummer that they weren’t open super early. It’s not far from the airport and when you’re looking to return your rental car at 5:30 AM, you need gas.

Meh, they did an okay job. The service was very friendly but I paid the extra $ 6 for their «Super» wash and it wasn’t very super at all. They left a puddle of water in my middle console, didn’t do a great job of wiping the inside of my car and did a very poor job of vacuuming. It doesn’t even look like they vacuumed my backseat. They also forgot my air freshener :/​
I do give them an extra star for being friendly though.

It’s a gas station. Not the cheapest gas, not the most expensive. The car wash is the real value here. For $ 10, you are hard pressed to find a better car wash deal close to downtown. They do a good job vacuuming, waxing, drying, all in about 10 minutes.
They have a big store, which strangely enough has a huge greeting card rack. So when I need to get my car washed and need a birthday card, I can really kill two birds with one stone. We need to see more weird combo stores out there — something like a dentist with a sporting goods store.

If you take the price of gas out of the equation here it’s a pretty nice facility. The pumps are new and easy to use and they take credit card, which is more than I can say for some franchises… ahem… Arco.
There’s a full service drive thru car wash and a store with all sorts of cleaning supplies and accessories. You can really make this a one stop shop for all your auto needs if you want. They’ve also got a pretty large greeting card selection, which is kinda random, but I needed one for a friend last time I filled up so I’ll throw ‘em an extra star for that.
