Oh’s Chevron Service

This review is not really of the gas station itself but the car wash they’ve got.
I was excited when they opened a touch free carwash. It is huge, because there aren’t enough of these in LA area to begin with. For those who don’t know, it is the ONLY type of carwash that is somewhat safe, unless you do it yourself by hand (or a professional by hand), which I unfortunately have no way of doing.
However, this one is very disappointing.
Firstly, your car is only very lightly covered by soap and I think all of the options will only do it once (higher price will apply other junk on the car, instead of reapplying soap anyway). This makes me think it must be a very strong detergent mix… not so good. Because it’s done only once, it won’t really clean that well.
2^nd… I know this is CA and issues with water are really bad right now, but carwashes take less water than hand washing anyway.
They recycle the water for the wash. There are a lot of naysayers for this, me included– because car wash owners do this not to care for the environment, but to save money, at the customers expense. The results, depending on how it is recycled can be– oh, I didn’t notice to OH, MY PAINT IS RUINED. However, this is not really the actual issue. They do what they got to do. The issue is– THE CAR WASH ONLY RINSES YOUR CAR ONCE– you want to know what the result is? Soap spots. Yup, you’ll be covered in soap spots that dry all over your vehicle. There’s enough water left over after the fan is done its job to leave spots EVERYWHERE, your windshield included. The only way out of it is buying a quick detailer spray and a good microfiber rag, then spray down the whole car and gently wipe it all down. Then move onto the windows, windshield and clean those well.

Conveniently located gas station. Unfortunately, getting the pump started requires going through small interview.
Which grade gas would you like, are you a Vons club member, would you like a receipt, would you like a car wash???
Give me my damn gas already!

Very rude Asian clerk on duty at night. I was waiting at window for a receipt and the clerk just read his newspaper. He looked up at me and stared and then went back to his newspaper. He then proceeded to head to the back and stock shelves. He has done this twice. I think he hates military because I have been in uniform both times. I am filing a formal complaint with his store and chevron and will not be returning to this store ever again.

New car wash realignment is nice. I don’t normally go inside, but it is just a standard chevron. Car wash is of the typical small size. I can fit my truck but it is really tight. Overall a convenient place to get you truck washed.
