I usually get my car washed at the bigger car wash joint down the street, but that place closes at 9 p.m. So when I was having a rad-as-hell Saturday night and decided to pause my Arrested Development binge at midnight to get my car cleaned, Bucky's was my sole option in the area. And I know it's a car wash at a gas station, but was more impressive than I thought it'd be.
I bought gas first, and I really liked the new branding Mobil had going on. There were some slick red and blue-colored structures above each pump, which looked extremely cool. I should also add that I use this phrase "new branding," but also that I rarely go to Mobil and this could've been a change made seven years ago.
This Bucky's/Mobil trip is also notable because it was the first time I'd ever checked "yes" at a gas station when asked if I wanted to add a car wash. At Bucky's/Mobil, I saved 10 cents per gallon when adding a wash. That rocks.
I only paid $8 for the car wash, which was pretty detailed and quick, and according to my dad, was "gentler on my car" than most washes. I have no idea what that means, if that's even true, or how such a thing is determined... but he's a dad, so I trust it. :)
If you ever need a late-night car wash or want to try this inconspicuous gas and car wash spot, go for it! You might like it more than you think. read more
