    I know what you're thinking, 5 stars for a car wash where you do most of the work. It's that good!…read more The equipment is always in working order and the place is always clean and stocked. If you cant navigate the screen/payment machine someone is quick to help. I had (yes, had) 3 vehicles on the wash club and they were Johnny on the Spot every time to expedite the transaction. You even get a discount for multiple vehicles on the monthly wash. They'll tape your wiper and gas door, hand you an air freshener and through you go.. There are plenty of vacuums and they even have air blowers to get that little bit of water from inside the side mirrors and badges. I always find it quite amusing when people blow off their entire car. I watch and laugh. There are always plenty of clean towels at each station for drying and there's also also a place to hold your floormat while you scrub it. The only reason I HAD memberships here and now do not, is because I moved away. At my new location, there's a similar place, but it's not the same. I'll be moving back at the end of the year, and will also be signing right back up at Eco Friendly when I do.

    So on my last visit, I did not have a great experience and a very nice lady Vanessa wrote me back…read moreand said let me look into this and get back to you. This is not the way we run our business. I'm very sorry. I went back today and checked in where you pay with an incredible employee named Paul who I told my story to and just waved his hand and said we'll make it perfect and you know what they did customer for life and that's how you do it.

    This is my regular gas station and I come here at least once a week since they opened. It's not the…read moreclosest gas station to my home but with the car wash and the numerous amount of vacuums, it keeps me coming back for more. I rarely check in because its listed as San Diego Gas and Carwash instead of what it is...a Shell! I just can never find it when I try to check in so it's a pain in the butt. While I am a fan of this gas station, I'm noticing as it ages, the vacuums are breaking at an alarming rate. They either don't have any suction or stations are missing hoses completely. I often find myself going from station to station to find one that works. The car wash also sometimes smells really bad. I have to wonder if they reuse the water and if it's safe - the smell is unbearable sometimes when you go through. You can't escape it. I noticed they recently placed people at the end of the car wash to dry off the cars better....I LOVE this and willing to tip/pay extra for that extra level of service. While I'm a fan...I really hope they start fixing these things to keep me from going to a location closer to the house. If I'm just getting gas and getting a car wash, I can get that at Bressi but I regularly have to vacuum after a week of activities with the kiddo and 8/10, i'm able to do so here.

    Oof how much a car wash can change. Cancelled my monthly service because this place has gone…read moredownhill FAST! 1. Something is ALWAYS broken. The monitor to scan code or pay from your car is just broken forever. The gate they have to manually lift. There are some sponges in the wash that aren't rotating. Today all the vacuums were down. 2. Smells like a sewer. It's disgusting. 3. Service is ALL over the place but usually ranges from bored, disinterested, or rude. Go somewhere else. It's not worth the hassle
