This gas station is conveniently located, and with other stations nearby, the price for a gallon is always competitive. I fill up here once each week usually, because I like to get my car washed at the same time. It took me a while to figure out the best way to get the wash--because the station owners do not post any of this info. So let me share with you: If you get a fill up and also buy a car wash you will get a one dollar discount on the cost of the wash. Car washes costs (without the discount) are 5, 6, or 7 dollars. I've never had the most expensive one, only the cheapest and the middle one. The 6-dollar wash includes an air-blast drying cycle--which does not work very well, but is better than the cheaper wash that has no drying cycle.
When you pay for your gas, and pump it, if you also say you want a car wash, you get a receipt automatically with a code number printed near the bottom. Then, when it is your turn at the car wash, you enter the code number and drive in until your front ties hit a certain switch mechanism, and the code lights change from green to red. Put your car in park, keep your wipers OFF, and wait for the wash to finish. You should also remember to bend your side mirrors in to give the washing brushes extra room to work. When finished, it takes a bit of power to get your front tires over the stop blocks at the front of the wash machine. I've had my car washed here probably 10 or 12 times already and I have not noticed any damage to the paint or chrome or other bits that stick out.
The wash seems like a pretty good deal, and I recommend it; but don't expect a perfectly clean and dried car. read more
