Purchase of gas and car wash

Very misleading advertising. This gas station has large signs everywhere saying "20¢ per gallon fuel discount with car wash purchase," but every time I come here, I never actually receive the discount. Today I specifically went inside and prepaid for BOTH the car wash and the gas together. The cashier charged me $39 total ($30 gas + $9 car wash), but the pump still charged the full gas price of $6.299 per gallon with absolutely no 20¢ discount applied. The receipts clearly show: * Car wash purchased * Gas purchased * Full price charged at the pump * No discount reflected anywhere This feels deceptive and dishonest because the promotion is advertised very prominently, yet customers are not receiving the advertised savings. If you offer a discount, honor it. Otherwise, remove the signs. Very disappointed. I've noticed this happening multiple times here already.

Horrible gas station , machines don't work you have to walk inside to pump gas. Don't waste your time stopping here. Expensive gas

Car wash is terrible - don't waste your money. Does not give a clean at all and you'll leave with your car wet and sudsy.

Hand wash station
Stefan T.

Notable is the handwashing station at the pumps and the plastic gloves that are offered. Very covid approved place. Very convenient to me and good gas prices. A little annoying how they try to sell you a car wash at the pump even when the car wash is closed. Don't buy one by accident at off hours... I don't think anybody is there to refund you after certain hours either. Very unique to have a hand washing station at the pump. I think sometimes I've heard people who fuel up with diesel that it can get all over - for that reason its good to have. Not sure on the quality of gas - I've tried this a few times a full tank each time with 91. Things seem ok. No knocking or pinging in my Jetta. I try mostly to get Chevron with that car though these days after the good mechanics at Hayward Volkswagen saved it from slowly slipping into heapdoom. They tell me all fuel in the USA is inferior to whats in Germany and the German car needs German fuel... and that the best here is Shell or Chevron. I like that the pumps are open late. Even if the store and carwash is closed you can still come here for gas. Things are quiet in the area and no riff raff. Better than Park Street no name gas stations. 3.5 stars.

I have been looking for a Touchless Carwash that is not too far from my home. So far, this is the closest one to my home. I had a ceramic finish put on my car to protect the paint. The person who put the finish on my car suggested that I get a touchless carwash--to protect the ceramic finish. However, when I searched online for a touchless carwash--I had a gard time finding one that really is touchless. This one is touchless. Pros: This place is touchless!!! Friendly staff Reasonable price I liked the results There is a punch card: 5 washes and the 6th is free Cons: I couldn't easily find where to put. the code It wasn't really clear to me how long to stay where the blower is

Clean and well lit gas station

"Aisle 1" is the gas station/ carwash of Nobhill Foods in Alameda. You shop in the Nobhill supermarket, and then get a discount on a gas purchase. Thus, it creates an incentive to shop more at Nobhill. The big attraction to this gas station is the touchless carwash. Well, maybe it's also cheaper gas prices too! I used the touchless carwash once, and it didn't really do a good job. I guess it has to do with how dirty your car is, and how well the carwash is working that day. What's a "touchless carwash?" A touchless carwash uses strong chemicals to wash your car. Then powerful rinse jets spray off the chemicals. Then strong dryers blow off remaining water and chemicals. There's no huge brushes or rollers to damage your car's finish. Anyway, everyone seems to like the "touchless" feature, because there's always a line to use the carwash. Meanwhile, the gas station is nice. Lots of space, well lit at night, and looks bright and shiny.

This car in front of me didn't pay. I called the staffed and they fix it
Stephen G.

The staff was great on fixing this issue. The person on front of me didn't pay. Wait till the car goes in then pay for yours

Wow. I completely echo the recent one-star reviews about the inability to get anybody at this…read morepharmacy on the phone. Some months ago it seemed they had made some improvements, and it was getting a little easier to get a human being on the phone at the pharmacy, but more recently things have really taken a nosedive. Calls to the pharmacy are now routed through a call center located who knows where, but since many issues can only be resolved at the pharmacy itself, the call center ends up transferring you to the local pharmacy you were trying to reach in the first place, wasting your time in the process. When you get transferred to the Otis Dr. pharmacy, they simply do not pick up the phone. You are put on hold and put back on hold infinitely until you give up or the system automatically hangs up on you. This is completely unacceptable. Zero respect for customers, their time and well-being, especially the infirm, elderly, and disabled who may not have the tenacity to keep trying to reach this unreachable pharmacy. Having no way to reach one's pharmacy over the phone is a health and safety issue that warrants a formal complaint with the appropriate government agencies. All because Walgreens corporate doesn't want to spend the money to staff appropriately. Shameful and inexcusable.

This is, hands-down, the best and most special neighborhood market ever. I've lived near it for…read moremuch of my life, and Sam (plus his wife, and Amy, and Carl's brother whose name I can't recall, and Carl himself who now owns a market in Dublin) has made it the greatest. The pricing is always on par or usually lower than other spots in town. During the pandemic, a beloved clerk there (Kenny, miss you!) told me that a customer had told him they should raise prices on an item, because another market in town was selling it for 30% more or so. Kenny mentioned that to Sam, who firmly said, "no, I'm not raising prices." Our hero. He also stocks things for neighborhood locals if they even mention wanting them. It's the spot for every kid to run into and pick out an ice cream or candy (and maybe tell Amy about their baseball game, she always asks). I went in a few years back after living elsewhere for years, and Sam was so lovely. He also knows my entire family - Mom and Dad go in all the time; Dad is now buying most groceries there; my sister, brother-in-law, and nephews lived in the neighborhood for most of the last years and they travel here weekly now and usually hit up A-1 to get favorites. They have amazing vegetarian and vegan options; the produce is ALWAYS fresh and well-picked (and priced - best price for avocados); the frozen foods are always interesting and tempting; and they have fresh Firebrand bread every day! It's also a really safe space for everyone - kids, adults, all of us. Between the lovely culture he's created, and the insane merchandising skill, and the products... I think Sam might be a magician. Go! You will not be disappointed.

This market is the best! Their prices are sooo reasonable…read more Need just one item like pasta sauce or an avocado or even a tomato and don't feel like going to a big chain store- go here! They have unique foods that some stores don't even carry. The staff is always very welcoming and warming. We love this market!!!

I was on the hunt for a magazine for my daughter. Digital wouldn't do. I knew I could count on DeLauer's...

It's right on Broadway in a part of downtown Oakland that doesn't see a lot of action when people aren't going to work midweek. But to me this place is like a landmark, like the Oakland Tribune building. So glad it's still here. It's worth parking for!

I had a long, respectful conversation with a staff member named Mo and trusted him when I purchased a SMOK Nord 4 as a gift for a friend. ​When I got home, I discovered the box was missing a slot/parts inside. I have tried calling the shop repeatedly to resolve this, but no one answers. It's upsetting to be treated this way, especially after being so upfront about my situation and the fact that this was a gift. I feel completely misled and robbed of my money and trust. I strongly advise anyone shopping here to open the box and check every single part before leaving, as they clearly do not stand behind what they sell once you walk out the door.
