This car wash is convenient since it's right off the 5 freeway. Sometimes there's a small line but each car (depending on the package purchased) can take a little long. The staff are 50/50, when something goes wrong with your wash, I've had nice guys, and "authoritarian" staff help. This individual refused to listen to what I was saying. Anyway, they got the wash to work and that's all that matters after you purchase their premium. Their dryer dries about 60% of the car. It's best if you grab your microfiber cloths and jump out when the dryer ends to prevent water marks drying and sticking to your car. Also, sometimes you're looking forward to getting a car wash and the wash is down with a cone in the front. This place is a hit or miss. read more

Circle K - The car wash scratched the whole top of my car. Absolutely ridiculous... - Gas Stations Near Me - San Clemente, California

Ran my car thru the car wash, half way thru the whole thing stopped and then slammed down on my car! Broke off my side view mirror! went inside and was given a number to corporate, called corporate and was completely ghosted! had to pay for the repair myself! TOTAL BS! DO NOT GO HERE read more

Discounts never go through at this location. You will pay more here than any other Circle K in the area. Avoid if you can!

I swung through here to get my car washed and vacuumed. There was a bit of a line, but it moved fairly quickly. The pay system kept denying my Amex and debit card. After about 10 trys I was able to get the transaction to go through. The wash is adequate, but nothing special. The vacuum gives you a lot of time, but lack enough suction to be truly useful. read more

Clean station, friendly staff and competitive prices. So if you need gas on looking to grab a cup of coffee it's a good spot to stop.

Car wash never works Always out of Sevice , sometimes when it even works , it just shuts down in the middle of the wash read more

Their car wash is always out of order. Like 9/10 times it's not in service, either fix it or get rid of it

Store is lame they don't carry any Gfuel. So sad, when asked manager he didn't seem to care much. The store is dirty and coolers are all empty. Will be visiting the store down the street. read more

I went to this store on October 1,24 to use the surprise bag offer that you offer through the app. To Good To Go. My first time using it. I reserved a bag which said they had 2 left. I went to pick it up. I waited in line as there were people a head of me. When I got up to the register I told her I was there to pick up a surprise bag I ordered and she said we don't have any. I said oh I just ordered it and paid for it. She said you'll have to wait and she would get it. So I waited while she attended other customers. She then left and came back and said here and walked away . I looked in the bag and it just had a few packs of Oreo cup cakes. I said isn't this suppose to be like an assortment of stuff, she said that's all she had and if I didn't like it to throw it away. I said well I already paid for it and how would I get my money back. She said to deal with the company about it. And if I don't want it don't take it. I was a little upset by her attitude and said you shouldn't advertise it as an assortment of stuff and left. She must have said something to another customer in the store because he came out and tried to start a fight with me saying I only paid 4 dollars what did I want. Which is why she must have said something to him because I didn't bring that up. The guy actually wanted to fight. Another employee who was outside came between him and my car and told him to get back in his car. I can't believe that it almost came to that. Maybe it was a bad day for her or she was just too busy to deal with it. But I won't be back and I have already told the company about the experience. I did pay for something that you offered to people. I guess I was expecting something different. It seems like a good program. And I was planning on giving it to a homeless person. The app for this store says they will give you a bag of assorted items they can no longer sell, sandwiches, salads, chips, wraps sweets, and all you need to eat the items. This for $3.99!plus tax.! I wanted to try it. I will try other stores but I won't go back to this store. read more

What is happening with this store? Its a busy location but the employees have no idea whats going on. Cant find the gas saver cards to hand out, place usually doesnt have lids for drinks. Usually out of certain flavored drinks. Literally havent been able to have a smooth transaction with nothing wrong at this location in 4 months now. Sticking with the location closer to the freeway. Never any problems. read more

Strange location for this to be thee worst Circle K... I'd understand if it were in a busy inner city but holy crap! No one can help 2 customers at a time.. extremely horrible customer service, asked for a manager and apparently he's on lunch? They told me to wait 15 min and it's been 40.. and the cashier looks lost and doesn't seem to know anything... so I'm writing this while I'm waiting for the manager.. almost an hour for a money order because the cashier doesn't know how... I don't blame the cashier at all.. employee training is essential to customer service.. he seems to need help, he has customers back to back.. it's Friday night at 7:01pm.... You would think you would have at least 2 cashiers... I thought I'd get some gas while I wait but their Apple Pay is down.. yikes.. read more

First, this store is known for getting the credit card readers "skimmed" on a regular basis. If you want your credit card information stolen, this is the place! Otherwise the gas is expensive, the wash is a waste of money, and the employees really don't want to be there either. Good luck. read more

Very expensive gas. Went for $50 worth of gas and woke up the next day with -$1700 in my bank account. Don't use your cards here, my card information was stolen. read more

Every time I try to use my card I always have a problem the cashiers never seem to know how to work the machine correctly not shopping here anymore read more

Don't not get your car washed here. I repeat do not wash your car here. I'm currently in line and I'm already 35 mins waiting. I came on my lunch break for a quick wash. Nope!! Not quick at all and it's probably really shitty too. I will never ever come here again and you can't get out of the line once your in it. Let's just hope it don't break once I get in. Wow I'm in so much disbelief, never have I ever sat in a gas car wash line. Worst car wash !! read more

If you're coming here for a fountain drink...... DON'T! It has a coffee aftertaste. Soooooo gross.

Horrible service. Old and slow machine. Not coming back here. Seven cars waiting on a slow day.

The car wash is absolutely terrible it has now broken 3 times in a row mid way through my wash no matter how many times they restart it. It always brake and I have to drive away with my car covered in soap and go else where to rinse the dried soap off of my car and dry it. I've wasted to much money here. Going elsewhere from now on read more

Employees are the rudest people I have encountered. My mother is elderly and asked to use the bathroom. They gave her the code and when she would not see the numbers they yelled at her and asked her what her problem was. Guess what, they could barely speak English in the first place. read more

Please do not use this car wash. They are scammers. I was trying to show my young son, who just passed his driving test, how to use the car wash. I Purchased a 14.00 car wash, went through the wash and all it did was spray the car with soap and low pressured water. The rotating brushes did not work, dryers did not work. The exterior of my car was still filthy with half the soap still left on the car. I went inside to complain, and was rudely shrugged of by an old man called Jeremy, said there was nothing he could do, and if i wanted to complain i should return the next day to speak with manager. Like i have all day to go back n fourth to speak with the manager. Disgraceful customer service, he has no place working there. Will never return to this place. All the reviews about this car wash speak for themselves!! Be warned!! If i could give this place a zero i would. read more

Worst $9 i've ever spent on a car wash, but remembered why i've hand washed my car for all these years.

The car wash service sucks!! $11 for just spraying soap rinse and drying. Really! If I knew will rather spend $9 more and I'll get it wash and vacuum at a hand car wash service. Never going back. read more

Absolute worst car wash ever. The line is always at least a 30 minute wait and the car wash quality is terrible. You're better off paying $20 for a hand wash down the road. That way, you'll get a vacuum too! read more

David The assistant manager is very very honest I dropped $20 and he pointed it out to me .. made sure I didn't lose my money I really appreciate an honest man good employees like this are hard to find read more

This is the worst gas station around. The parking lot is filled with pan handlers, homeless and/or vagrants and there is a very good chance that your credit card information will be compromised while filling up with gas. The owners and management are not willing to make changes. Shop elsewhere! read more

Quite possibly the worst gas station I have used. The card readers are always out of service forcing you to go inside (twice), and when they are working they are always out of receipt paper making you go inside anyway. Messy outside with a number of homeless people wandering through and rummaging through trash while you fill up. Situational awareness! However, it is local and I continue to use it for that reason. read more

Don't even bother using the car wash here. The car wash was broken, and when I went to inform the staff about the issue, I was told "it's working fine". They had the audacity to not only tell me I was wrong, but they went out of their way to teach me how to use a car wash (HA). When two cars in front of me experienced the same problem, i'm sure it's not just me... i've been to plenty of car washes, I think I know how they work. Don't waste your time! read more

Went through Mobil car wash which didn't work. Middle eastern man who worked there is extremely rude. Not helpful at all. Had to get in the back of the car wash line to start over again. Waste of 30 minutes. 7/17/19 1:45pm read more

I can't select less than one star? A restroom this bad in this beautiful community? Women's restroom closed, men's restroom FILTHY. Has it ever been cleaned? Cashier was pleasant is all I can say.... read more

This place is always busy with never enough help. The car wash is either not working or long wait. Here's a new one: paid $15 for a wash, enter code, asks if I want an upgrade! It only registered the standard wash. Go inside and they give me a code for the full price wash... BUT. I had to drive out and get in line again!?! After I apologized for my language they reset the wash and got me the right wash after all. Wow. I hate to complain but this place is consistently a nightmare. The people behind me were getting very agitated. Don't blame them read more

I will never shop here again. This place has frustrated me so much I had to write a review. First off the majority the employees are absolutely useless. Rude, slow, always in the back talking. Second, this place smells to high hell as if they take their 48 hour marinated hotdogs and hide them around the store as some sort of rancid Easter egg hunt. Third, always filthy and stuff laying everywhere. It looks like the Tijuana border crossing with junk displays on the floor, in the aisles, on the counters. Thank god there wasn't an earthquake or emergency that entombed all of us in a Pompei of garbage. Fourth, nothing works or is in stock. Want a fountain drink, cool, but the ice maker is broken. Want a Redbull, sorry, only a warm case sitting in the aisle waiting to be shelved. Wouldn't matter though seeing how the freezer is always broken. Fifth and last, the car wash. They conveniently hid it around back where it's to late once you enter to see another car in front of you. For each car add 10 minutes to how long you'll be sitting there waiting. You expect a clean car after waiting for the second coming? Wrong, it would be a more pleasant experince just purchasing a brand new car than dealing with this 7th circle of pergatory. read more
