Read before doing anything at this service station! I was on the way home from picking up my brother and got a flat tire. I pulled into the gas station hoping to find help and was told I could not park there. I asked very nicely and told them Mercedes was on the way to pick up the car with a tow truck and they told me to get it out of the parking lot. I proceeded to offer to pay them as they are a service and repair shop and figured they would be happy to help! This couldn't have been further from the truth. It's really sad to see how rude the two gentlemen were when in a time of need

My dad went to smog a truck i gifted him. (That truck has always passed the smog) now that this place smoged the truck it supposedly not pass.
He made up a bunch of things saying why it did not pass, that were not true. He said bring it back and it might pass, my dad took it again, he charged him again and still did not pass, again saying a bunch of excuses. He said It was dripping liquid and it was not true, that was the previous car and blamed my dads truck, and saying im not passing it because of that. Meanwhile he gained $113.43

This is one of the best gas stations, car washes, and mechanic shops in San Diego. It is a family owned business and the manager/owner is extremely friendly and strives to make customers happy. The car wash is great and your car never leaves wet because they have people that wipe it down for you after. The mechanic shop also delivers fair prices and good results. Would recommend this spot to anyone! They also just included new types of gas pumps with eco friendly gas!

Don't come here. It's a rip off. If you read the negative reviews on here, it's all true and with good reason. I've always come here before to get inspections for my car at the price point of $40. Cheap right?! I loved it. I come back not a year later only to find out that they're charging $90 "as they always have." Obviously this is a lie. I see that they lie about prices all the time. Not only that, but they also are very rude to you. To top it off, I read in an earlier comment that they looked up someones records to yell at them about their review. You can

Buyer Beware
Called this location to get an oil change and they advertised a $45 dollar oil change. I asked how long the wait was and the service manager wouldn't tell me. I figured whatever and pulled in, despite the sign he told me $65 instead of $45. I bring up the price difference and the guy tells me that I missed the special. Even though its a professional permanent sign, I just want to get in and out so I submit to this guy. After about 30 minutes he says the work is done. He gives me the invoice and now the price is $101!! I bring it up and he says it's for taxes and hazmat

Thought I'd update... the manager was very kind and i received another wash at no charge. Thank you Mr. Abrahim!
Paid $12 for the car wash and it still had so much dirt and grime on both sides, hood and trunk that the towel (they give you for free) was black after I wiped it down myself... Even though they have attendants that dry it for you! Even the license plate looked like I just used a hose to spray it off! I went inside and told the attendant it was the WORST car wash I've ever received. and all he said was "ok"... Is there something you'd like to buy now?"

I come here as an alternate choice than the one on Palm Ave. The gas here is a little cheaper for the super. There is also a car wash here.
I was in need of a car wash after the rain we had. My receipt was valid for 14 days and today was the 14th day so I needed to use it before I wasted some money on a car wash. The guy at the front guides you on the track. Once you are on the track, he will ask you if you want a token and a free towel. Cool. I always get it cause it is free! Once your car is on the track, you put your car in neutral and don't step on the brakes. You are guided through

With integrity I must remove 1 star for the reasons below. Gratefully it doesn't really affect their rating.
Update:
Prices have recently increased. Now $5.95, $8, $10.95. Not a huge deal, but if it increases anymore, the tight squeeze and maneuvering in/out may no long be worth it to me. Just being honest. Vacuum nozzles have been changed as well. They look nice, but I find they are harder to reach tight crevices in my car. I'm developing a collection of vacuum tokens. Maybe I can sell them back for a free wash? Haha
Staff is still awesome and friendly. They give out FREE hot dogs

It's 20 cents off per gallon, if you opt for a car wash. You usually get an annoying prompt at the pump display, asking if you want a car wash, before pumping your gas. This time, I figured I could save some money, especially with today's gas prices. So, I selected 'yes' to a car wash. Besides, I hadn't gotten my car washed in about six months.
They have a separate vacuuming area, before the car wash entrance. I like that because I can vacuum my own car and make sure I get the areas that I want to get and avoid the areas I don't, like my cup holder that doubles
