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

How do I give more stars…read more I came to David at Steamworks after getting quotes from other shops that wanted to charge an arm and a leg for scratch repair and or new parts or just flat out rejected doing the work at all. What a difference. Before I even booked, David gave me a thorough, honest upfront assessment -- no overpromising, just a clear-eyed look at what was possible and what the process would involve and how much it would genuinely be and what else my car might need. I dropped my car off within a single day, he removed rust, corrected deep scratches across the rear quarter panels, polished and restored the paint, and even cleared up the headlights. The car looks almost brand new. The before and after difference is incredible. The price was insanely fair compared to what dealerships and other shops quoted me. If you're dealing with scratches, scuffs, or paint damage and don't want to get gouged, come here first. David does the work right, treats you like a person, and delivers results that speak for themselves. But enough words. I'll let the photos do the rest.

I was recommended this company by multiple people and decided this was my go to guy, he was able to fit me in to his very busy schedule and I have no words to express how grateful I am for how well he cleaned my car. It is better than before, like a new car! Highly recommend for all of your detailing needs!

After doing a review, using Yelp, to find a mobile auto detailing service, we decided to go with…read moreMike's Craftline Detailing. From my first contact with Mike, I was impressed with his customer service. I scheduled service for Saturday morning and prior to my service time, Mike called to let me know he was running a bit late. He arrived when he said and prior to beginning any work, walked around the car with me wanting to know about areas with which I had concerns. We did the same for the interior of the car. Mike then explained the exterior and interior service he would be doing, along with the types of products he would be using. He then went about this business. Now my car was already in good condition, but after Mike was finished, he had bumped it up several layers. The outside of the car was shown at another level and the interior was clean. I appreciated that Mike's interior products did not leave any slippery feel and no fake car smells. I would sum up Mike's work as thorough and highly detailed. I am looking forward to scheduling with him soon, to detail our other car. If you are looking for a great auto detailer, then I highly recommend Mike.

Impeccable work detail oriented Mike added a ceramic coating that made my car look outstanding…read more following a unfortunate event last October. Road Rage in Berkeley... Went like this: An "altered" preppy jerk in his Mazda wagon vandelized & kicked in the passenger door of my 2002 Honda Si. After 2 weeks sitting at Panel Craft, the Amica's assesors' decision was that my damaged Honda was now unrepairable & deemed "salvaged". I challenged that opinion. After calling Amica's regional female supervisor in Texas, she correctly & graciously agreed that changing the title back to clean. She then informed me to get the necessary bodywork & paint done at 101 Body (in their approved network) on San Pablo in Berkeley to restore & even improve my car which Amica would cover. Bravo! Mikes detailing has turned my ride into a jewel Thanks

I was so surprised to see both grandmas and grandpas at their age working so hard. Some were younger but I'm sure that's also why they look so healthy. It's my first time here but they feel precious to me like my own grandparents. I passed by this busy car wash during the day and stopped by again later because my car was super due for a wash. I'll be honest I hadn't vacuumed my car in a looong time. When I did, the little handheld vacuum at home didn't do much. But these folks got me in and out so fast. Sweet and efficient people. The before and after is crazy. I will say there were some little cracks where they missed the dust and they accidentally left a towel wedged in my back trunk door lol but it was what my car needed. For how long I put off cleaning, this was totally worth it at a reasonable price. I'll be back!

The job took 40 min, they left streaks of ceramic product on my window. Used dirty rags that smelled and left little hairs in the ceramic finish. They missed really obvious stains, so I had to ask for them to wipe them off. And it's the kind of place that talks to men and women differently. Not going back. It was $110, $50 for the wash and $60 for a really messy and bad ceramic wax.

I recently took my Tesla Model Y to get an inside and outside cleaning. I'll admit we hadn't cleaned it for a while, have taken the car on road trips including to Los Angeles, Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes. We've taken it in offroad situations too. After they worked, our car is White again. They worked hard at vacuuming and cleaning the inside of the car, including the trunk. Their crew took out and cleaned floor mats and they seemed to wipe down everything as best they could. We also have dogs so there probably was a little bit of dog hair in the back too. The woman who runs the business said they needed to charge extra to shampoo one of the carpets because there was some sort of stain in the back. I thought that was reasonable. Considering that it has been years since we seriously cleaned the car, I think they did a good job and put a lot of attention, I think the price I paid was reasonable.
