501 Foster City Blvd Foster City, CA 94404…read more I'm very sorry, but the staff need to check the restroom more often. I was there on a Thursday evening, and stopped to get some gas and use the restroom. I went in the snack shop to get the key. The clerk was chatting with a buddy, and pointed to the key on the wall. It's an all-gender restroom, but right now....I suggest you go elsewhere. It was absolutely nasty and dirty. The toilet was plugged up and didn't flush properly. It took 4 flushes to get anything down. I told the clerk on my way out, and he smiled and said "thanks." It would be better to just put an "OUT OF ORDER" sign on it.

They pre-hose your car and do a quick brush before your car goes through the cleaning cycle. That is needed because the dirt won't necessarily come off if they didn't do that. At the end they hand wipe the entire car with cloth to dry all the windows and the entire car. The entire process took about 5-7 minutes. There was only one car ahead of us so we didn't have to wait. If you need a quick & basic car wash - this is a good deal.

Would give zero stars if I could. To the woman (taller woman than the first cashier, estimate in…read moreher late 40s, and black hair); you need to learn manners when dealing with customers and not tell them to F*** off when they say they will go elsewhere. You have aggressive bully-like mannerisms. In case you don't remember me, I am the customer who went to gas pump #4 on 6/25/2024 around 1030 AM. The gas pump showed "pay inside" on the screen. I went inside and paid the 1st female cashier (limited English who couldn't communicate well with me), and I paid with my debit card; thank God I received a receipt when I asked for one. I went out to pump my $80 worth of gas to see that the screen would not clear from showing "pay inside" and no gas was pumping. My first trip into the cashier was to ask for assistance, which I DID NOT RECEIVE. I had to go back to the gas pump, try again, to no avail. I re-entered the store to have the first cashier point to a receipt that stated $0. I informed her that I had already paid $80, showed my receipt, and conveyed that I did not receive any gas. She later went to get you out of the back of the store and you immediately were in "fighting mode" when you came up to me. You "greeted" me by saying "what's the problem?" Some advice for improved customer service; Try saying, "hello, how can I help you" the next time. You refused to assist me or to see what was wrong with the pump. After receiving NO assistance or resolution to the issue, I stated I would go elsewhere and turned to walk out, you shouted "F*** you!" at the top of your lungs. I am sure it is on video if your supervisor or store owner would like to watch the interaction. Your store/gas station will NEVER receive my business again and I will be sure to share my experience with my friends, with social media, and anyone I can. Read your other reviews on YELP, as these are consistent with my experience today. As a result of this, I now have to have my debit card credited back the "pre-authorization" so it does not remain deducted from my balance for a week. YOU need a class in customer service or maybe consider a job where you don't have to interact with the public.

The gas attendant tries to give me back the incorrect change and I tell him and he pretends like he "gave me extra gas." Then when I go to get my car wash, it completely messes up one of my front rims and now it's black and scraped. I really wish this wasn't the case, but they definitely scam and take advantage of people, especially younger women.

I had to rush inside and ask for help. Staff eventually came out and removed the nozzle, but I received no apology or clear explanation. The gas smell got inside my car, and I had to pay for professional cleaning to try and remove it. Came back to talk to someone about what happened - no one spoke english. Went back the next day (7/4), met a manager named Luis, who acted extremely unprofessional, didn't care and just kept laughing in my face and telling me it is my fault. Will have to take it to corporate since Luis wasn't interested in resolving the issue without escalating it.

It's honestly a hit-or-miss experience here. Sometimes the car wash works fine and actually uses…read moreenough soap, but other times it feels like it's basically just spraying water on the car. The quality is pretty inconsistent from visit to visit. I wouldn't say it's always bad, because I've had decent washes here too, but just be aware that you may not get the same result every time. If you're expecting a consistently good car wash, this probably isn't the most reliable place. You guys might be asking why I keep coming here; the only reason is I get a free car wash for work this is my opinion--just trying to help out so you won't be disappointed. If you get a car wash, especially for 14 bucks.

Horrendous customer service and their car wash is a SCAM…read more The top brush of the car wash doesn't even come down to clean anything, leaving the roof of your car the same as when you came in. With the constant upcharge of using this car wash service, you will literally not get what you paid for. If that wasn't enough, the lady who has been working there for years has a nasty attitude and doesn't give two sh*ts. As a paying customer who has been going here since literal birth with my family, it's a disappointment and true disaster of an establishment. Unfortunately they have a prime location right off the freeway exits but if you just go a littler further down the street in either direction, you'll find better. They will never get a penny from me again and I recommend you do the same.

My wife and I have been taking all of our family and business vehicles here for 11 years, but I…read moregrew up in Foster City and have been passing through the gas station half of their business all my life. Hillsdale Arco Auto Repair is a super honest, reasonable, and kind family owned business that is strongly linked to our local community (the owner is the former Mayor of Foster City). In 11 years as customers, we've had nothing but incredible experiences here for every car trouble under the sun. They've even personally driven us home on days when our cars couldn't be returned the same day. I started to list all of the issues they've solved for us, but I quickly realized it would meet the character limit of this post. If you're a first time customer new to Foster City looking for a new mechanic, I highly recommend giving them a try. My wife read my review and chimed in how super convenient their key drop off is. They have a system where you can drop off or pick up the keys at their convenience store if the car is picked up or dropped off after hours and you've prepaid for the repair. The flexibility has saved us many times when trying to make arrangements for the car while also juggling school drop off and pick up for the kids.
