    this place is a really dump for La Jolla
    Rob W.

    Not too often do I review a gas station, but this station is damn smack in the middle of beautiful La Jolla California with very reasonable gas prices for the area. That's the big upside, as everything else is down hill. There are many peeps hanging out here trying to peddling this and that and trying to wash your windows. This station is crowded due to the off brand gas station and cheap gas. it's difficult to get in and out of this station due to the stoplights. If I had to do it all over again, I would whiz on by and avoid this station altogether. Don't be lured in for the cheapo gas as I did, because there is always a price to pay. Go with a name brand gas and your car will thank you in the long run and avoid the hubbub. I would only swing in here if you are in a pinch and need a few gallons to get you down the road.

    Damaged car paint.

    The car wash / gas station employee used a broom to remove the thickest dirt and took a piece of paint from my car, I complained to the gas station manager who informed me that he would pass the case on to someone else in charge of dealing with this type of matter, and they never called me to solve the problem. Stay away!!

    I was very surprised to see attendants at both the entrance and exit to pre-wash and then dry your car.

    Let me start by saying I read many of the reviews on this place before I took my car here…read more.. There are some very nasty negative mean-spirited reviews that in my opinion... Are not to be at all the case with this establishment. I thought they were absolutely wonderful!, Incredibly on point... Very organized, courteous, beyond professional... The place was quick and thorough and they have a great little gift shop with fabulous cards you can buy... Sometimes the best cards are at the car wash! I paid 39.99 for mine and got the silver wash... Rivan was the man who helped me when I first pulled up. I told him I wanted to put a bottle of water from my car into my window washer fluid... I was going to do it myself, and he kindly offered immediately to do it for me. So nice! And in the car wash that I bought... It comes with an interior scent. I'm not a fan of these scent sprays in those packages so I asked if I could swap that out for one of the little scented trees in the gift shop. He said no problem... I thought that was incredible! Everybody here is really nice and you get the feeling that there's a lot of really good teamwork going on here... And they even have a little coffee station and a very lovely waiting room with beautiful leather, modern furniture... They took a lot of time to detailing my interior and dressing my tires with the shiny stuff... Felt like a very luxurious experience and I think the price is incredibly fair. when I came out to my car, the gentleman who had been wiping my interior dashboard... I asked him if I could use the towel and just wipe a couple spots that were bothering my OCD... He gave me the towel, no problem and was so kind and sweet towards me. I love this place! This is my new place... I used to go to the one on Pacific Highway down by Seaport Village... And I live over there! I happened to be in La Jolla today so I came here but this is now going to be my new car wash... They are the best! So happy... I even tipped five dollars on top of the car wash. So well worth it.

    Terrible customer service, they do a terrible job. If you don't get the $200 full detail then…read moreexpect to not have your car clean. After work I called to complain that my wife's car was still dirty and the lady on the phone said "why did you wait so many hours to call? Um because I was working and after work I saw how terrible of a job they did" . They gave her attitude when she asked them wipe the side panels. Been going for 5 years and every year the service gets worse and worse. Never going back.
