Quick and convenient location. Too bad the shop inside closes super early. I arrived @ 5:30pm on a weekday to find the entrance door locked and no staff in sight. Can't speak on Mobil being of good value but with the currently high gas prices, I just shelled out $73 bucks to fill up my tank and I had a little less than a quarter left initially. Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! read more

Mobil - Entrance - Gas Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

See all

The pumps never work properly, always need to go inside for assistance. Your better off just going to a different gas station.

Good no touch car wash. One of the few no touch car wash near me. Don't like the rotary brushes cause the are all dirty and scratch the clear coat. read more

****CAR WASH REVIEW ONLY**** Ehhhhh. I mean, I wouldn't use this car wash if it wasn't free for Toyota service customers. The touch-less option lacks water pressure, so bird poop does not come off. Honestly, I see a regular full service wash right next door and always question why I don't go there. Lol But, instead, I go to a self serve car wash and do my own--no one will wash my car better than me. read more

I got a car $12 touch less wash. It's very slow, be ready to wait. Upon exiting, I found my car wasn't clean. I showed the clerk inside and he said that happens with touch less. I asked for a free wash and he gave it to me with brushes touching my car. My car still wasn't clean and definitely not dry, there are water spots. To use the vacuum you have to pay, or go inside to get a voucher if you purchased more expensive wash as I did; the vacuum suction is fair. I do NOT recommend. read more

I was desperately looking for Claritin. I was at a near by Shell and they closed at 7pm due to being short staffed. So we walked 6 more minutes to get the Claritin. Before walking I called and Sheralyn ( this might be misspelled my apologies) answered the phone, I told her the situation and she said let me ensure we have some first then she rushed back to the phone to confirm. She was extraordinary for this human gesture. I gave her a complement and she said it had been so long since someone had been "Nice" to her and I said " You matter and you are doing an amazing job. Let's remember folks to be nice to other humans regardless their job title. read more

Terrible and dismissive manager AJ! The car wash damaged my vehicle, manager refused to accept or acknowledge this actually happened.....although the "attentive" gas station employee took photos and assisted me after the damage to my trunk. Manager came after 10 minutes, he drove to the gas station.... refused to look at my car and proceeded to tell me, "it didn't happen here." He is terrible, dismissive and should be demoted! Also, there are cameras, he stated it didn't happen... although the machine hit my trunk... shook my car to the point that I drove out of the car wash with soap all over my car. THE most disgusting customer service I have ever seen. DO NOT USE THE CAR WASH! He could have at least apologized for any damage caused, instead... he told me it never happened. I will be filing a complaint and attempting to reach the owner! It is something that can be buffed out...some slight paint damage.... but the mistreatment of a loyal customer is despicable. You just don't treat people that way, it's bad business. read more

please do you self a favor and do not come here unless you want to be treated poorly. John definitely needs to work on his customer service skills or needs some serious training. To the owner, i advise you to get a new cashier or employee if you want your gas station to have a better reputation. I highly recommend it. read more

On my way back from baja, I stopped by here to fuel up. There was nobody else around, which was not surprising as it was three in the morning. I fueled up, and I was hoping to find an open restroom. Alas, I did not find it, as there was to employee tending to the place. I should have seen that coming with the "help needed" sign posted at the front of the convenience store. So I drove off until the next stop came into sight. This gas station does it's job, but it's nothing special. read more

Mobil - Gas Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Horrible customer service. We ran out of gas - literally at the pump- shortly after 10PM on Friday night. The guy working was still hanging out at the register. I explain to him our situation and he went on and about how they're closed and the pumps are off. I asked him if he had the ability to turn them back on- he said yes but he wouldn't since they were closed. Kindness and human decency out the window. Luckily there was a 711 and a Chevron across the street. I know where to take all my future business too. read more

Very bad experience the worst car wash I will never ever use their car wash again please go somewhere else to get your car clean. I paid $10 but costing me $500 to fix the damage. Just because they posted the sign saying they are not responsible for any damages they don't care about your concerns this is ridiculous!! providing quality service should come first. read more

I would give their car wash ZERO stars! Got a complimentary car wash coupon from a Toyota of Carlsbad, you have to pay an extra $4 for the Scrub brushes, they wash your car with NO soap, and there's a wait of 30 minutes of other Toyota patrons getting their crappy 'free' car wash. This place sucks big time, Toyota should go somewhere else!!! Their service is non-sense and their car wash is a car 'rinse'.....don't bother go elsewhere read more

This car wash is supper aggressive they even have painters taper for your wipers they give you a list of things to do before you enter to minimize damage. read more

Stopped in for gas this morning. This gas station was fully stocked with Hand sanitizer for the guests at their pumps, which was surprising since the last three stations (not Mobil) I've visited were out of sanitizer in their pump area....so you felt "not clean" and had to get back in the car anyway. Prices were not the lowest but also not the highest I've seen. The parking lot was very clean and the store looked nice. read more

Awful maintained car wash. No soap. Does bad job drying. Only been here twice and bad experience each time. I went 2 months later my 2nd time and still NO soap in the thing it just brushes (and scratches ) a slightly wet car then fails to completely dry. Does have touchless but only if you buy the overpriced $14 wash. My regular all hand wash place is almost the same price. And there are like 4 hand written signs attempting to instruct you on how to use the faulty machine. I say low maintenanced because my other emergency drive through wash place has the same machine does a fine job for what it is (for $8) read more

If you are a customer of Toyota Carlsbad's Service Dept, you get car wash vouchers for this location. The car wash itself is VERY thorough vs. your regular automated car wash. That's great for your car, but the wait is ridiculous. Just 5-6 cars in front of you could take 30 minutes until you're up. If you have the voucher, you need to first go into the gas station and have the cashier exchange it for a code. But entering the code is not so straightforward once you are at the machine. You opt for the longest, fanciest wash they have and then it doesn't prompt you to enter the code. You have to sort of figure it out on the fly. It's not user-friendly. Afterward, they have an air hose for cleaning out your car, but I think you have to pay for it in quarters. read more

Needed to get my car washed and gassed up quickly before some reservations... ended up waiting over 40 minutes to just get into a drive thru car wash! Ridiculous wait time. read more

Worst touch-free car wash ever. I would have been better off driving through puddles. Don't waste your money. I think half the machine is broken but they'll still let you waste your money and drive through it. read more

Mobil - I paid $12 for this?? - Gas Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I go here all the time because it's right in my hood but geez, update your computers! The pumps are SO slow and inputting your numbers, etc., takes forever. Also, this is usually the most expensive gas in the area. read more

Good car wash and the employees are friendlier than you would usually expect at a gas station. Other than that though their prices are WAY too high. The gas is always the most expensive in the area (yes it's next to the freeway), but other things are over priced as well. I really only come here if I want a car wash. read more

Mobil - Gas Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

WARNING! The car wash severely scratched my car's topcoat of paint in multiple places. The manager was very dismissive and refused to look at pictures of my car that were taken that morning at Toyota Carlsbad. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't received a return phone call or email from Mobil/ circle k customer service. A total nightmare... read more

I have used the car wash at this gas station a lot over the years. It takes about five minutes to go through the cycle. Today, I looked at the partly cloudy skies and the weather report didn't predict any rain, so I put down $6 and took my car through the wash. You can imagine my surprise when, as I exited the bay, down poured the rain onto my freshly washed car. I thought, "oh well, surely they'll give me a rain check after that." Unfortunately , the employees wouldn't do it, although I had previously received a free wash at least twice before after a wash that didn't clean thoroughly. I was happy to hear that they would have the store manager call me. A few hours later, she called. I thought for sure she was going to comp me a free wash, but she refused to offer me the rain check. So, after all these years, I've decided I'm going to wash my car elsewhere from now on. Besides, there are at least two others closer to my house. I only went there because they seemed so friendly and accommodating. read more

This gas station should be condemned. One of the highest priced fuel stations not only in Southern California but in the United States. So what that It's located off of a freeway and in a very touristy area of San Diego. That's not my problem. This is price gouging and unethical pricing. read more

What the heck did I just pay $12 for?! For them to sprinkle water on my car. That was the slowest and most worthless car wash ever. We just wanted to give my car a quick clean tonight. We normally go to another one, but theirs wasn't working so we gave this place a try. Never again! We sat there waiting for it to start, eventually it sprayed water. Then, yes it did add some soap but it didn't touch the car at all to clean it. It just sprayed it right back off. It "dries" over your car twice. No water came off at all. We wanted to warn the people behind us but it's not like we can get out and tell them. So, here I am writing a review trying to warn others just like most of the people on here. I want my $12 back! read more

Bathroom is super clean !!!! And customer service rep is extremely nice. Had gone to chevron at first but their customer service was trash.

this place is amazing! Staff is so friendly and helpful. The cleanest gas station I've EVER been to read more

Just know that if you a Toyota customer, all you get is a rinse and dry. Doesn't actually wash your car

They have, apparently, gotten new pumps since some of those early reviews 5+ years ago. HOWEVER: Don't think that you're going to use the bathroom here, even after patronizing the pumps or making a selection at the store. The bathroom is being cleaned. Exactly when you want to use it. Exactly when I want to use it. Exactly always. I believe that there is a federal law that requires gas stations at Interstate exits/entrances must provide air/water for your car, and free public restrooms for everyone. I guess this place knows that they're just far enough from the ramps that they can make their paying customers hold it until you can make a second stop. read more

I was given a complimentary car wash at Mobile. It was the worst car wash I have ever had. After waiting almost half an hour, my car finally goes through this very elementary, automatic wash. I have a Prius and it did not take off most of the dirt on the lower sides of the car or the trunk area of the car. There were still pieces of dirt on to hood, as well. After much ado with the Mobile people they huffed and puffed that maybe they could let me return for another. Who wants to drive 15 miles to a car wash that doesn't wash well? Not me. They service the Toyota customers and Toyota ought to be ashamed for sending its clientele there. Skip the Mobile station for car washes. read more

One of my go to gas stations in Carlsbad. Located right off the 101 and Palomar Airport Road, it's the most convenient place to fill up before heading to the airport to drop off the rental car. The only downside to this gas station is that to get back to the 101, you have to make a U-turn on Palomar Airport Road. There's no option to make a left turn towards the freeway. Return Factor - 80% read more

Save your time and some money and go elsewhere. They charge $4 for a voucher from Toyota Carlsbad (savings of 2 dollars now?). Moving on.

Worst Car Wash I have ever driven through! I bought the most expensive option and it was still crap! I understand that drive through car washes are only so good, but this is unreasonable for literally no results. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

This car wash literally just rinsed my car off and left water everywhere on my car. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

First time through I got the top of the line wash and my car was still dirty. To be fair it was one that's brush-free but it shouldn't be sold as the highest value and priced wash if it doesn't even work. Second time through I waited 20 minutes and not one car got through the car wash. Third time the car wash was not operational. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Worst car wash ever. Near total waste of $5. It only uses water pressure and nothing else. Grrr. read more

What can I say? It's a gas station. This place does have a few things that stand out in my memory though... 1. SLOWEST CREDIT CARD VERIFICATION.......EV......ER! This is seriously annoying. I already have to give you an arm and a leg for the gas (near the fwy), now I have to give my time too? 2. CAR WASH - After waiting a generous slice of eternity for their machine to verify that you can, in fact, afford the gasoline, they have the audacity to ask if you want an overpriced car wash. Really? 3. ESCAPE - Yes, I have finally paid and received my pricey gasoline and have successfully declined the unnecessary car wash! Oh wait, I have to go to the I-5 freeway? Enjoy trying to turn left across a 4 lane busy road where people heartlessly speed up so you can't get out. Sometimes it's worth turning right to Poinsettia (one exit south) just to avoid an accident. Will I return? Yes, because I have no choice sometimes! [well played Mobil] read more

Kinda dank really not much to say. Got gas and left

If you're looking for cheap gas, this is definitely where I always find the best prices. However, the credit card machines are so slow! It's tempting to pay a few cents more to go down the road just to save some time! If management could replace the computers, I think it would up their business a bit. But, if you don't mind spending a few extra moments at the pump, this isn't a bad place to stop for gas. read more

Expensive gas! Gas is 50c/gal cheaper at the 7/11 across the street, and even cheaper at the CostCo half a mile further down! read more

8 minutes per car for the car wash!!! I am not exaggerating or kidding, 2 cars in from of you plus yourself and you are talking 24 minutes to get out of there. Then, it didn't even dry the car that well, but who really cares anyway, after 24 minutes I was not happy. In the morning there were like 7 cars in line, I felt so bad for them, there should be a warning, once you are stuck in the line you can't get out! Waste of time and money. read more
