Review from Allan M.
Martinez, CA

I dont normally write reviews on gas stations but I really thought I should share some info about this place. Lately I've been doing alot of driving and realized how different stations could be.
There is a new owner to this station and he seems to be concerned for the consumer and the environment. The price of gasoline at this station has dropped significantly since the new ownership and they discount it another 15cents a gallon when you purchase a carwash too. So this has been perfect for me since I drive to L.A. once a week for work and my van gets pretty dirty and covered with dead bugs!
But what has made it stand out is the new owner who actually WORKS the station. He has even given out "handouts" of new products they are testing or selling. Today (this is what prompted me to do this review) he asked if I'd like a free water bottle for the road. It was a new product his station was carrying. What made it significant was the fact that he pointed out he started carrying this water bottle because it was completely organic and biodegradeable. Including the label. Hmm... not your typical gas station owner to care about the environment too! -
Review from Ivy R.
While the other reviewer may have had a problem with the car wash here, I have never and Im sure my last car wash story would beat his out of the water.
This is my usual go to car wash. With or with out getting gas.
They also have a really large garbage can at the entrance of the car wash that I sometimes dump more than just a few scraps stray papers from my car in. Try a bag of garbage. You got to know how to make your situation work right?
Its a regular car wash that does a good job. I have no complaints.
Also, this gas station doesn't have the Lottery so don't think you can walk in there and buy a $6 wash and a Mega Millions.
Because you cant. You will get eyes rolled at you and a big "No, No Lotto." But what ever.Listed in: Martinez & Beyond, Jalopy Jungle

No soap in window washer, broken window washer.
Sure having gas and the ability to pump it is important too, but if I can not clean my window so I can see out of it what good is having the gas?
All in all I do not recommend this place, skip if possible, if not pump and go. -

Between Ivy R., me, and some others, Martinez will eventually become totally Yelped. And on Alhambra or Pacheco Avenue, we're living the dream.
Unless it's a Kum and Go in Iowa, it's often "premature" to give more than 3 Stars to a service station. As for Alhambra Shell, it's easy in and easy out, and with lots of room to park and fill up. The car wash is also nice for those who need to wash up afterwards. -

This service station is totally non-customer friendly and a total rip-off. I purchased a $7.00 carwash from them and attempted to get my car washed several days later. They told me the code had already been used and would not give me my car wash. I never used the code and was in sole possession of my receipt. They apparently gave me a used code and refused to give me my car wash. They were extremely rude.
Please BOYCOTT this station.
