I used to be regular here for gas, because this station is the closest one to my house, but that was when I didn't use mid-grade gas at Shell or Chevron (besides the occasional drive-through car-wash and sometimes, air for the tires at seventy-five cents). There are some strange types here, but it's fine during the day. The inside (mini-mart part) is similar to any 7-11 store, offering snacks, drinks, and the usual suspects (ie. colorful characters). This place is not usually very busy, maybe a handful of customers, at one time, so you can get in and get out pretty fast.
More recently, we came here for a drive-through car wash (the 5 digit code appears on the receipt) for $6.00, a basic one. My car was quite dusty and dirty from not getting washed for weeks (there were many chances of rain since monsoon season started in July), but there wasn't a build-up of bugs, so it wasn't in need of a deep cleaning. It isn't cloth strips here, but it's the red rubber strips. The only thing that bothers me, is the super short 60-second drying period, at the end. But then again, we don't have any hand-wash places nearby, except across from UNLV, and I won't trust those towel-spinning people (attention- getting) operating in nearby parking lots (7-11) either, so this isn't bad for six bucks. I'd come here again, mostly because it's convenient.
Well, my husband finished it off- the wheels and the windows, when we got home, so my car was sparkling clean (for a week, since it rained just enough to get a little spotty). read more
