The only touchless gas station car wash in the area... so for that, it's worth checking out (assuming you care about your car's paint job). Is it cheap? No. Is it cheaper than paying for someone to wash it by hand? Yes. It ranges from $5-9 and your car will thank you.
That said, the gas is pretty overpriced IMO. I prefer filling up at Costco or Safeway to save a few bucks. Just buy the car wash inside.Listed in: adventures in cars

worst customer service and even store manager is here on yelp and he is just trying hard to promote his store sales and get his bonus , this is d worst car wash and customer service store.
Asst. Manager JOHN is a v helpful guy.
If you have any trouble from Store manager you can reach their head office @ 925-884-0800 and ask for Chris Wilson he is the head of operations. -

Locked doors, leaving pup in car.
Went inside, said machine was broken, not my $5.
Was given a different $5 to my chagrin.

Walked back inside, pissed.
Was given a code.
Entered code.
WASH IS A GO!!!!
(pushed help button 10 more times just in case it did ring inside, just to piss them off)
As I was driving into the car-wash entrance, an employee came out and stood behind my car announcing "I just want to watch to see what's going to happen".
a) I abused the help button, so boiling manure will come out of the spigots.
b) The sprayer arm is broken and the 'touchless' wash will become not so much.
c) No wash, meaning I just spent $5 to drive through air.
d) Ashton Kutcher will pop out telling me I've been punk'd.
I kind of was hoping Ashton would appear, so I could punch him in the face, but no.. I got E, which was a basic wash, albeit taking about 10 minutes longer than I had originally planned.
Bottom line..get the f-ing code. -

I used to go here for the touch-less car wash. Now that's gone, so no real need to go. I did bring my car here once to try out the "new" wash. Pretty much like every other wash. Did an unsatisfactory job on cleaning the tires. Rest of the car was only 1/2 washed. Not pleased. Other than that, I would rather drive down 1 mile to the Safeway to get gas. I'll have to search for a new touch-less wash for my cars now.

Staff here try and "upsell" me to fix non-existent cracks in my windshield when I self-serve my gas, what a pain.

Not too shabby at all.
Its not the BEST wash but touch less car washes rule. I will never subject my car to those nasty scratch creating washes. I've been looking all over for a touch less wash. They are great for them times when you just need a quick wash and not worry about massive scratches and what not. Anyhow, not bad at all. I did the $9.00 wash and was pretty surprised at the results. Not nearly as good as a hand wash but shoot for the time spent and worry free ease of no scratches, this place wins hands down.
I shall return. -

For all of you Posters! They have recently put in a new car wash and it doesn't break anymore. It is not touchless anymore but Site Manager explained to me that it's soft cloth. At first i was hasitant to wash my expensive car but he gave me a free wash and i love it now. I buy $35 package they have which breaks down $9 car wash to $5.83 each. Staff is very helpful. Some people don't know how to use the car wash and dont know where to stop for car wash to go on and they blaim on the car wash.

AFAIK, the only place with a "laser-guided" touchless car wash in the area, where only jets of water and treatment touch your car, and it uses a fan to dry your car instead of guys using dirty rags. A wash starts at $5. For more, you can get an under-car wash, Rain-X treatment, and I forget what else. It's down for service enough times to notice but supposedly it's open 24 hours/day.
Attendant was cool; can't review the Circle K Express because I haven't had to shop there. Oh, the gas pumps still have those levers you pull up to turn it on so that seems to throw a lot of people off. Gasoline prices are comparable to other gas stations in the area.

I'm not sure if it was just a fluke experience or if it is YMMV. I normally come here to get gas if it's on the way. The prices are mediocre. Slightly more than the ARCO across the street, but convenient because they take credit card. What I came here for was the car wash. The car wash here is actually better than the shell across the street, but also about $1-2 more.
The middle aged guy inside (I think from India or Pakistan) had a very hard time figuring out which which car wash I wanted and didn't understand when I told him I wanted to prepay for 2 car washes. He messed up and rang out a premium wash the first time when I pointed specifically at the deluxe one and tried get me to pay for it so he wouldn't have to go back and void it out. Then messed up again and printed out a basic wash. To make a long story short, I ended up getting the right wash after 25 minutes and a lot of hassle. I never had this problem with anyone else that works here so what the hell? The car washes here are great, but just hope you get the clerks that understand english when you tell them what you want. -

The touchless wash is awesome...when it works.
I usually come in every week to fill up after work. $5 without fill-up and $4 with for the "economy wash." For the most part it's great. It soaks with soap twice, rinses twice, and air drys. No risk of scratches. Plus the pumps never gave me any problems.
On several occasions I'm ready to get the wash and the pathway is coned off. One one occasion, in the middle of the wash, the soap jets that pass around the car ended up hitting my car and the whole thing failed leaving my car half-soaped (argh!). The attendant was nice to give me two free coupons for the failed wash and another future wash. Luckily they had a water hose so I could rinse the mess off. Also lucky that there weren't any dents from that incident.
They offer 3 different kinds of wash: Economy, plus, and premium (or something like that). I bought both plus and premium for the heck of it and I didn't notice any difference between the two. So be wary.
All things considered, it's a great place to fill up and get a quick car wash, but I wouldn't bother if there's another station nearby or you really want to try out the wash. -

4 stars for the car wash alone. Like the other yelpers say, it's touchless so your car is in good hands.
Sometimes the gas price is lowest of all the other ones around.
BEST THING....you don't have to buy gas to get a car wash. You can go into the store and just purchase a wash unlike gas stations that only sell washes with gas purchase. And it starts at $5. -

I used this place weekly until they added brushes to what used to be a brushless car wash. I prefer my paint without swirls so now I'm hunting for a new place to go...

This gas station has the worst customer service! I'm not one to really compare prices but I do look for convenience and friendliness. They had people lined up around the door. After realizing they were right in the middle of their shift change, you think they would acknowledge us and let us know it would be just a moment. Will never go here again.

whenever i want a decent wash on my car (and i dont' have time to wash her myself) i take my car here. i don't know of any other touchless car washes around here. they give you a coupon for buy 5 get one free, which is a bonus. but they also try to sell you a pre-paid car wash plan where you buy six and get one free... i don't get that tactic when they give you one free after five. they tried to sell it to me twice.
anyhow, the wash is pretty good, and i don't need to worry about the brushes leaving micro-scratches on my car. :D -

Get gas and the $9 car wash and I get a full tank and clean exterior. What's better: a free car wash of your choice after 5 washes.
