Meh. Typical somewhat disappointing car wash - I guess since I'm used to doing this myself I never feel like others live up to my own version of clean. I feel I overpaid/they could've done better. I saw my car come out and then I realized I couldn't find it anywhere and had a small moment of panic. Turns out they ran it through a second time. Well, I'm ashamed to say but this car hadn't been washed since before our road trip to AZ for Thanksgiving- ouch - so it doesn't surprise me it needed it. They missed an interior spot on the windshield which sucks since that's always my one weak spot with cleaning at home but at least the majority of the car is mostly clean, and even pearl white again. Who knew. read more

For a car wash in North County, this is a pretty reliable place to go. WIth options as low as $9.99 for a basic hand-dried wash up to detailed services, this is a great place to go if you need a quick cleaning inside and out. I think this place is different because of the nice area to wait. Plus, the deli inside this gas station is GREAT! Grab a sandwich, a smoothie, or a coffee and wait inside or outside while your car is cleaned. Pro tip: give yourself plenty of time with this place. It can take up to an hour for your car to be serviced! Some of the more basic washes take less time but it's heavily frequented and that can cause a back up. read more

Came for a carwash. Girl at register was rude in an easy 2min transaction. So disappointing

Took my daughter's MB in for a wash on a Sunday morning. They seemed to be asleep on the job on this particular day. They didn't wipe down the interior and they didn't vacuum very well either. Had to come home and finish up where they left off. read more

I will NEVER be coming back to this place. The exterior of my truck was dried before they left it for 10 mins and completely finished another car that came out after mine. And once it was 'done', I had to grab one of their rags and spend another few minutes on the inside by myself. I like my truck clean, almost debating taking it somewhere else to have the job finished. Be forewarned, avoid this place. read more

Gave this place a second chance after not being completely satisfied the first time because it's close to my job and I thought I could get my car washed on my lunch break. Think again...service so slow they couldn't get my car finished within an hour, and I got the "express wash!" I had to leave without having the car wiped down because lunch break was up. I ended up wiping the spots off the windows myself when I got home. AND cleaning the sand off the mats(that were vacuumed there) AND cleaning the center console/dash. Won't be going back...fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...fool me 3 times, well you can't fool me again! Haha read more

I wouldn't even give one star but I have too nor would I Get gas hereWent here to get my car washed. I paid the few extra dollars to have the rims cleaned and tire dressing... Well, the tires were shiny but the rims were still dirty. (I posted a picture of one of the front tires) under my door handles were still dirty. Just a poor job over all. My dash board was not wiped off-it's still dusty. You couldn't pay me to go back to this place for a car wash, gas, or anything! They just made my car have a dirty shine... Not happy!!! Poor quality. read more

Chevron - This is what my rim looks like after the car with the extra dollars paid for the tire dressing. Never going back to this place ever again!! - Gas Stations Near Me - Encinitas, California

I have been coming here to have my car washed since moving to the area. Every time they have done a good job and at a fair price. The team that handles the final prep does a great job of seeing that no spots get past them. The staff in general is professional but not particularly friendly. The waiting areas are comfortable with sofas and easy chairs inside and umbrella covered picnic tables outside. If you're looking to get a bite to eat for lunch or breakfast, the deli inside makes excellent sandwiches. They will continue to be my go to car wash. read more

I realize this is a gas station, but man I love this place. I work up the street, and the fact that I can come here and load up on candy, chips, a bomb sandwich from the deli and any kind of drink I want when I'm having a bad day makes my life that much better!! The people that work the register are super personable and friendly. Had to demote this place. Decided to get a car wash here yesterday and I wish I went somewhere else. The vacuum job was awful, and that was the main reason I went there. I asked if I could pay extra for a really good vacuum and the guy said he'd take care of it but it looked like it had never happen! I was a little upset with this since I love everything else about this place! read more

Just went to get Gas and the Girl at the counter was very Rude. Talking to me like I'm Dumb. Very Unprofessional! Never coming back.

If I could give these guys 10 stars I would! I've been to several detailing spots and paid hundreds of dollars to get my seats cleaned and none have been able to meet my expectations (especially based of their prices!). I've been here twice now and there's no one else I'll go to now. My seats look brand new and the overall interior exterior cleaning was just as good. Highly recommend this spot. Took a little over an hour but I got a coffee and worked in their free wifi spot. read more

This is my favorite car wash by far. They have great prices and do a great job, but they do it quickly so you are not sitting around waiting too long. The $9.99 basic wash covers it all, inside and outside, and if you want to go up from there you can get very detailed work on tires, waxing etc. Plus, they have a great shop to browse in and the deli there is terrific! I know, you wouldn't think a deli in a gas station/car wash would be the place to be but it is really good food, sandwiches with Boars Head meat, smoothies, etc. Come here for a wash and lunch. Trust me, you'll be in and out fast with a smile! read more

I'm surprised at the low overall rating for this gas station and carwash. I have been coming here regularly to get the regular wash which includes vacuum and interior and exterior window wash and hand dry for only $15 (+1 for a truck or SUV). If you want to get the discounted gas, you get the carwash first. Then when you pick up your car you tell them you're going to get gas. Then you drive to the pump, bring the carwash ticket and pay for the carwash and gas. If you pay with a card and overestimate how much the gas will cost, the extra will be automatically refunded to your card. They do such a thorough job I can't imagine paying more for a hand wash elsewhere. I always tip an extra $5. Today they went above and beyond. I wish I'd gotten the names of the two men who helped me. After vacuuming my car, they found it wouldn't start. They checked the headlights (la luz) and some other things and said it looked like the battery was dead. I asked if they could jump it and one of them actually went offsite to get a jumper battery and cables. After a successful jump, he said not to turn the car off or it would need to be jumped again. I drove straight to pep boys and they confirmed that the battery had shorted out and needed to be replaced. This came with no warning and I was super grateful that the two guys that were working so hard at the car wash went above and beyond to help me so I didn't have to wait for AAA to come. read more

This review is for the car wash - terrible!!! The front seat was fine so I never thought of checking back seat or trunk. They never vacuumed it at all (see photo). Also asked for jasmine fragrance which they did not do. Paid for a Gold wash and didn't even get a nickel wash! Only redeeming quality here is their deli - great sandwiches. read more

Zero stars for damaging my bumper in the car wash and then not having the morals to admit it. Stay away.

Love this place! Everyone is very nice. I get my car washed here weekly, and they always do a great job. They even buffed out a NASTY scratch on my bumper for just $10 and it only took 10 min. I was very pleased! Plus, their sandwiches are the bomb! Try the Soprano or a breakfast bagel sandwich. read more

Absolutely love this Chevron Car wash! Hugo always remembers me, the wash I want, and even the air freshener I love. Totally recommend!!

My mom discovered this car wash business last week and referred me to it! I love it and Hugo took really great car of my car I'm extremely impressed by the job they have done. I don't think I'll be going anywhere else, I've found my new favorite spot! read more

Not sure why everyone is complaining about the price/sign situation, it is very clear and at least from my experience in central and east county San Diego, a normal concept. Contrary to what yelp had listed, it is indeed open and seeking gas. The adjacent Extra Mile is clean and well stocked, and the bathroom is exceptional as far gas station bathrooms go. read more

I drive here from tamarack cuz this is the best wash around. from interior to exterior from top to bottom. friendly staff and in a timely matter. wish they came to my marina too wash my 45' sport Fisher. read more

10/1/14 - Another rant, Corrine? Why am I not surprised? I would expect that type of response from you. As a reminder, you're the one who asked me for my account of things, then continually interrupted me when I tried to answer. You're also the one who was yelling and belligerent, then hung up on me. (Interesting customer service skills, by the way.) Encinitas Chevron's Motto should be: "The Customer is ALWAYS Wrong", because you obviously don't care. Wake up, Corrine. Half the comments on this review board are negative, and many mention you specifically. (And that's just the reviews on Yelp.) You can't blame me for that. I also find it interesting that mine hasn't been the only car you've managed to damage!! Your harassing "High School Bully" attitude is unprofessional and childish. Grow up and start taking responsibility for your business and your employees, rather than chasing away customers with your bad attitude and insidious excuses. Incidentally, Corrine, if you're going to continually post your own "positive" reviews on this page (which I'm sure you do to bury all of the negative reviews), you might want to come up with something more creative to say rather then the same thing over and over again. No one really cares if it's a big space. Although, in hindsight, that may be the only positive thing to be said of this particular Chevron station! 9/30/14 - Went to get my car washed at Encinitas Chevron today. One of their employees was manually forcing my (electronic) sunroof visor open & he ended up damaging it. When I spoke to the manager Corrine, she was defensive & could have cared less. She wouldn't take any accountability over her employees actions, nor did she offer an apology. How unethical people stay in business is beyond me. Thank goodness for the Chevron station on Birmingham in Cardiff. They have much lower prices, helpful/respectful employees & owner and, best of all, your car will still be in one-piece when you leave! Encinitas Chevron deserves 0-stars (but that's not an option on this site). read more

Went to wash my car as I do almost every Sunday when I get a $28 car wash. The two guy were just hanging out and there were a couple of rain drops coming down. He said they were closed, when I drove up the sign said open. I was desperate for cleaning the inside for my work week and asked if I could have interior only and he refused. For a customer who spends up to $120 a month washing my car they seemed unwilling to do it. I went to another car wash to spend my $30.00. I would suggest looking for a more customer service oriented car wash. This one they don't want to do their job read more

Service if friendly and fast, but car wash staff always misses blatant spots on roof and windows. When you pay for a hand car wash, there shouldn't be anything on the car when they hand it back. And yet, every single time I have to request they go over different areas again. If you're in a rush, this place is fine, but if looking for a quality wash look elsewhere. read more

I paid $30 for a hand wash because I have a roof rack that can't go through the auto washer. There were tons of spots I noticed. When I pointed them out I was told the paint was oxidized and that a clay rub and wax was needed to get the spots off. This car is 3 months old. I doubt it's oxidized already. As I was driving, I noticed dirty streaks on my windows. Really? They couldn't even get the windows clean. I feel it was a total waste of money. When I called to complain they said they would re-wash it. I said I wanted a refund but they were only willing to give a partial refund. read more

By far the WORST business and owner I have dealt with. This car wash ruined the whole front paint of my SUV. Immediately made them aware and sent me to get quotes admitting their fault but then refuse to cover their damages. The owner Corrine was rude, unprofessional came up with the excuse that she makes 60,000.00 a year and this has only happend 2 times. I give Corrine and chevron a F. read more

The car wash here is great. Decent prices for the service and they do a wonderful job! Best car wash I've found the $13.99 car wash includes what amounts to a decent detailing with a great interior clean and exterior buff. Good deal read more

Great car wash for 8.99 the guys detailed exterior really good.

I mostly like this place because they have an excellent deli inside serving amazing sandwiches and smoothies. The store itself does have a large selection of the usual gas station fare, with a bit extra. Usually a pretty clean place, nice large car wash with outdoor seating while you wait. read more

I've been to this car wash twice at different times of the day. Both times, the exterior of the car wash had a few dried bits left to the roof. I also noticed that they did not completely clean the part of the car body where the driver side door's bottom rests. The person who took my order also tried pretty hard to push me towards the more expensive options. read more

Great car wash, wax full interior cleaning and service at Chevron Car Wash Encinitas Blvd. Jose, Romero and Florentini are true professionals! This is my first time using the car wash services after having driven by many times. We were planning to detail our suv ourselves or hire a mobile detail person in the future. When I drove up today I intended to have the suv washed interior a bit and exterior and also vacuumed. Our suv needed some extra cleaning attention since returning from a set of trips we took this summer with our dog but we haven't had the time. In addition to hair and general camping type marks and grime, a passenger spilled Coke that made its way in between the seats, door and other areas where it was difficult to fully clean. From the beginning Jose listened attentively to my objectives and budget. The choices ranged from simple soft wash to full detail. Wow! Who would have thought a place co-located with a gas station here in town would have so many choices and a full staff? Jose was super accommodating and described the type of wax used to my husband over the phone when I called him about possibly having the suv detailed right then. Many times my husband will wax our cars himself, having learned that so many places use an inferior wax. We agreed to a full interior cleaning that included vacuuming, shampooing, leather and vinyl cleaning and leather waxing plus exterior wash, tire detail and exterior wax. Jose said it would take less than 2 hours and even offered to drive me home or to an area plaza to wait since I didn't plan this amount of time without a car. I don't know if the offer is always made. I typically try to go to car washes during the weekdays if possible to avoid the crowds and was successful in that there was not a long line up today. I arrived on Thursday at about 4:15. I was called promptly in less than 2 hours and told the car was ready. When we arrived Romero and Florenti were very attentive and asked us to review the car. It looked the best it has in many months! No dog hair, grime or icky Coke between the seats. They even made an area of the leather seats look great that I had tried to clean over the year several times and eventually gave up. The exterior looked great too! My husband had a couple of requests regarding the wax application; Romero and Florenti were quick to take care of these requests. I recommend this car wash and will be back regularly! Thank you! read more

I bought the detail for $40. You would think it might take a minute. Nope, my truck was done in approximately ten minutes. What a joke. I get out to my truck and there is bird shit all over the hood, front grill, front lights, and little bird spots on the doors. On top of that, there is water dripping off my truck everywhere. This place is a complete joke. Do your self a favor and spend a little extra money and hire a car wash guy that has his own business. I will never return. read more
