    Sometimes it's just the convenience... In town many of the car washes do close at 5pm, I even wen to a location that stated it closes at 8pm only for them to just stare at me as I drove in feeling like it's not happening. This Kalihi location is the closest that without driving cross town to a location that I prefer but the traffic and use of gas doesn't make it a reasonable decision to only spend $$$ and here it does seem like it's 24hrs which I haven't personally confirmed though with many complaints for very valid reasons is the deal to get it done versus doing it myself at home. The line and wait time yes can be ridiculously long though this one versus the PC one if you don't know is much easier as if you don't can cause some issues. With that it does offer the budget friendly wash starting at $10 for the basic "Deluxe Wash", $14 for "Premium Wash", $17 for Ultimate Wash or the $20 for the "Ceramic Shine" it's clearly posted with details for each wash and just be mindful to follow the signs to make sure your car is in the right placement. With that it's not a drive thru so each car is placed in the area to be washed so if many are doing the Ceramic Shine or Ultimate Wash it does take a moment longer and I did time it to about 15 minutes so calculate each car as it might take time for you to get it done. I did do the $20 as it's been sadly neglected and yes it does get it dry but that was probably the worse part of it all so if you do this bring a towel if you need a bit of touch up or I just jumped on the freeway and got majority of it off lol! For the value it's a great service that I'm grateful to have in a location not far from town and if I do need a bit of wash knowing that I can come here is nice. Thank you!

    I have been coming to this gas station for 6 years mainly because of their car wash facility. I usually pick the $14 car wash option because I feel it provides well balance cleaning. The car wash line can be long at time, if you see the line backs up to the sidewalk, that will be about 7 cars, be ready to wait 45 minutes! Overall, I give the car wash a 7.5 out of 10, it generally clean my 4Runner pretty good except for the tires. After they blow dry the car, you still need to wipe it dry because the blower does not remove all the water. Lucky they provide paper towel 90% of the time. They also have an air pump and vacuum but you have to pay to use it. The staffs are friendly and helpful. If you put more than $50 of gas, you a get a free 1.5 liter bottle water or a hotdog as a bonus. Form time to time, they will close down the car wash for maintenance or it broke down, therefore, sometimes when I drive to the station to get a car wash but find out the car wash is closed, it wasted my time.

    Plenty of rinsing

    This is probably the best drive through car wash on island ... you will have to wait it's a popular spot but it's worth it my car hasn't been this clean since it got professionally detailed. And it was only $20 for the works

    A gas station is a gas station. But I like this one because it has a tire air pump, vacuum and car wash. The car wash can get pretty busy.

    Cheap place to get a good car wash. Can buy a car wash ticket individually from the cashier inside or in addition to your gas take fill up. Wait in line, punch in the car wash code at bottom of receipt and enjoy Lines can be long on wknds. I am always satisfied w the car wash I get 6/28/22 Can't beat the car wash prices but...the wait in line can be long. It's afternoon on. Tuesday...I've been waiting over 30 minutes

    Make sure that you FOLLOW the instructions to prevent damage to your car

    Did you know that a popular superstition is having a bird poop on you is a sign of Good Luck or means good things are coming your way? Well, growing up in a Chinese family, I learned this superstition but have never believed it as to me, it's more of an annoyance and embarrassment. It never seems to fail that soon after I drive my car off from either a car wash or detail job with its gleaming finish that I'll get "carpet-bombed" by birds. Thank goodness that Hawai'i doesn't have seagulls, otherwise, I'd be even more upset. But, I have a theory about why birds make messes on cars. It is my belief that birds see their reflections in the shine of the surface and must think they're flying over water to escape from being captured or while looking for food to eat. Whether my theory is true or not, I even make sure that I don't park under trees or telephone wires or near edges of buildings as I believe that birds WILL let loose anytime they launch themselves into the air. I've questioned whether or not they're attracted to certain colors or are birds even color blind? Hmm. Tsk, I guess that I have too much time on my hands to be pondering this issue. Anyway, shortly after picking up our car from our detailer, we were on the way to Costco Iwilei to pick up some groceries. When we exited our car in the Costco parking lot, we noticed a huge white blob on our moon roof and another running down our rear window. Alas, we didn't have anything on us to clean of the nitrogenous waste product off but were thankful that the bird poop didn't land on our car finish where it would damage its paint. We quickly ran in totake care of our marketing and drove to this Texaco station with its recently upgraded car wash. We stopped at the cashier to purchase a Deluxe car wash for only $10 since we didn't need the additional surface protectant or drying agent. However, my husband opted for the Premium $12 wash which advertised a purified water rinse and a touch less blow dry. After paying and getting a ticket with the access code, we drove up and waited in line. I got to see the full menu of washes which were very reasonably priced. The current car wash menu features 4 choices as follows. - Deluxe Wash $10 - Premium Wash $12 - Ultimate Wash $17 - Ceramic Shine $19 The wait time was slightly longer than 15 minutes as there were several vehicles ahead of us but we were able to sit in our car while being shaded by the nearby trees. Our wash took about 5 minutes and we emerged spiffy clean with no signs of that bird poop. We drove home without further incident and are happy to leave our car in our enclosed garage where it'll be secure and not bothered by any critters. CONCLUSION: Texaco's fast and very inexpensive car wash made our day by getting rid of the unwanted bird poop from our car. We did bring out our chamois cloth to dry some of the excess water that was left by the wash but we felt that we got lucky by finding this car wash.

    The Kia in front of us license plate came off during their wash!

    Great easily accessible location. Average gas prices. Car wash worked fine and the vacum cleaner works well for $1.50 as of Oct 2022.

Buy 8 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline at this HELE and get one All-American Footlong Sandwich on Friday, January 16, 2026 at any Safeway on Oahu .... FREE!! Buy 10 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline at this HELE and get one garlic chicken musubi and two pork hash at 7-Eleven .... FREE!! Buy 15 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline and fill the tank of your Toyota 4-Runner and get an 18" pepperoni pizza, a hot dog and drink at Costco ..... FREE!!! I know all of you are thinking .... "What's the catch?" I'm not exactly sure why, but the Hele Gas Station/Convenience Store on Vineyard Boulevard and Palama Street has, for the last two weeks, been selling regular, unleaded gasoline for $3.899/gal. and $3.799/gal. with Hele Kamaaina Card and payment in cash. There are 12 fuel pumping stations selling regular unleaded gas at this Hele. With that sald, all the Plus and Premium pumps are out of order. You can only buy regular unleaded and diesel at this Hele, for now. For your information, the Hele on South King, a block before Straub Hospital and the Hele on South King just past Kalakaua Avenue sells regular unleaded for $4.599/gal. The Cosmo Yajima Service Station on South King and Keeaumoku sells regular unleaded for $4.599/gal. The Shell on Beretania and Keeaumoku sells regular unleaded for $4.599/gal. The Texaco on Beretania and Keeaumoku sells regular unleaded for $4.599/gal. The difference in cost and savings between buying regular unleaded at this Hele and the Cosmo Yajima Service Station, the Shell, Texaco and the two other Hele Gas Station/Convenient Stores is $4.60/gal. - $3.90/gal. = $.70/gal. and $4.60/gal. - $3.80/gal. = $.80/gal with Hele Kamaaina Card and paying in cash. So this morning, I buy 8 gallons of regular unleaded, using my Hele Kamaaina Card and pay in cash = $3.80/gal.; which is $.80/gal. X 8 gallons = $5.60 savings at this Hele. I then go to the Safeway on Beretania and used $5.21 of my $5.60 savings and buy a $5.00, All American Footlong Sandwich. It's like me getting my All-American footlong sandwich for FREE, because I bought 8 gallons of regular unleaded at this Hele .... right?? My GF has a Toyota 4-Runner and I told her: "Honey! You should "Hele on Down" (Insert smiley face emoji here) and take advantage of the $3.80/gal. regular unleaded gas at the Hele on Vineyard and top off your tank because regular unleaded is $4.60/gal. everywhere else. Your 4-Runner takes 15 gallons of regular unleaded so this will be a pretty big savings. 15 gallons X $.80/gal. equals a $12.00 savings. You can than buy an 18" pizza, a hot dog and drink at Costco with your $12.00 gas saving. It's like getting an 18" pizza, a hot dog and drink FREE!!, when you fill up at this Hele." GF: "Wow! What a great idea and deal honey! I got something to do now. Can you take my keys, fill up my tank and go down to Costco and get an 18" pepperoni pizza, hot dog and a Diet Coke for me?" (Insert sly, salivating face emoji here) Me: "Why sure honey. I'll be right back." I drive her 4-Runner to the Hele and fill up her tank. Sure enough, 15 gallons X $3.80 = $57.00 which would have been $69.00 at the other Hele's, the Shell, Texaco and Cosmo. $69.00 - $57.00 = $12.00 savings. I then drive to the Costco in Iwilei and pickup her pepperoni pizza, hot dog and Diet Coke and head to her place. Me: "Honey! ..... Honey! I'm here!" GF: "Yawn .... Back already! I was taking a nap! ....Yawn!" Me: "Huuh!! Here's your keys, the 18" pepperoni pizza, hot dog and drink. The gas was $57.00 and the pizza, hot dog and drink came out to $12.03." GF: "Yawn! Gee thanks honey. You're the best! Let's eat!" (Insert happy face emoji here) Me: Five minutes later ....... Foot tap tap tap tap tapping!!!!! "Women are very cunning!!" (Insert crying face emoji here) P.S. The savings for the gas was $.80/gal. at this Hele and a fantastic deal. But from my perspective, the 18" pizza, hot dog and drink ended up being a $69.03 out of pocket cost to me. This turned out to be the most expensive pizza, hot dog and diet coke I ever purchased in my life!!

    Every penny counts…read more.. At the price of gas I've never seen Hele get more crowded than the usual Costco as they do offer Kama'aina the deals when you use their app and pay with cash. I was told that this Vineyard location was well priced and after done with my errands close by decided to give them a peek and was surprised to see that it was $5.39 and for sure went in to top my tank off. Once I approached the pump was disappointed to see that it was actually $5.49 a huge difference and that I didn't have much cash on hand didn't want to pay that price and left disappointed. Though if you used the app it does bring it down to $5.24 but it had to be with cash and it just wasn't worth it for me personally and left disappointed. This corner location is quite busy and that many have done the math to work it into their budget and with places like this thankfully we're still able to get on with our day. Thank you!

It's about 2 cents less than Costco! I read Bruddah Fran s review for Hele Gasoline... 5-stars... must be a legit place, right? Gotta try it out! I parked at pump #5 and saw that the price was $4.31 per gallon - that must be the credit card price? I went inside the convenience store to pre-pay. I showed the bar code on the Hele Rewards app and got $4.06 per gallon! (The app gives 25 cents per gallon discount!) Wow! After I filled my tank, I went back inside the store to get my change! The cashier said that the balance will go back to my credit card... yay! Note: There are two pumps at each of the four lines.

They are number ONE in addressing your requirements for repairs to a flat tire. If you require flat tire service and your emergency is either in the Nuuanu/Pauoa area or you live in the neighborhood go to this service bay with your needs. I had the compartment light in my car give me trouble and they serviced me, not sure about pricing, but service is unparalleled. I especially like giving business to "local" vendors whom I trust. Jun appears to be the owner or manager of the service repair operations. It is my understanding that the service repair area is sublet from Richard Chevron. I do find the cashier operation which services the gas station/towing and the service repair more than adequate.

Still convenient in location, Still their convenience store is really that of convenience (no frills, just you water, soda and chips type product). Still one of the more expensive places in town. As of today, gas is $ 5.69 regular. $ 5.99 premium, $ 6.29 power premium Bottom line is if you drive, you need gas and you may not find it practical to drive $20 miles round trip to get gas at about $.50 less per gallon. Not sure... stand by I will let you know. I need to do the math now.
