Simonson Station Store - North Bismarck

Car wash is the best "Fast" car wash in Bismarck!
First off, I was really disappointed to see the hand drying go away with the new wash. HOWEVER, you kept the most important part of any car wash. Simonson's has a HUMAN spraying bug/tar remover on the vehicle, then uses a pressure washer to COMPLETELY PRE-WASH the entire car before it enters the automated car wash.
The extra time to pre-wash each car takes only 45 seconds, and is 100% the reason I dropped my membership at Tommy's. The pre-wash by a real person means all the removable dust, dirt and bugs are washed away and don't get stuck in the rotating mops and scratch the hell out of the poor soul's car next in line. A simple rinse won't do, you need a brain and eyes and a pressure washer to clean all bugs and loose dirt from the vehicle. I loved the convenience of Tommy's carwash, but now my car is covered with micro-scratches all over from the dirty mops. You can't get away from all scratches in a "touch style" carwash, but having a pre wash attendant is how to do it, and what makes Simonson's carwash truly the next best to doing it in my driveway (which I can't do in winter!) The extra 45 seconds is well worth it. My cars paint thanks you!! The first set of rotating mops in the wash always look bright and obviously clean, not dark and full of dirt like the aforementioned competition.
Only thing missing is a floor mat cleaning station and vacuums. Tommy's has that advantage. But I prefer saving my cars 3-stage paint!
Thank you Simonson's, I know it's hard to pay an attendant to pre-wash, but it is 75% the reason my monthly subscription is yours and justifies the expense of your washes.

Easy one stop station. In a great location to fuel up you car and yourself, while on the road.

The pumps were conveniently located and easy to access. Exiting from the station was equally easy & safe.

We grabbed some water at a good price and some crunchy snacks to keep us awake. There were some local-ish options available, which is nice to see as the small businesses can use the support.

Some prices were excellent, while other a bit steep- overall, it seemed to balance out in the end.

Really clean interior - the rest of the town could learn a thing or two about the importance of a clean, well organized interior to their gas stations. Good selection of most everything. Good coffee selection as well - lids took a minute to locate though.

We have stopped here several times while traveling. Early morning, late at night, the store is clean and the staff is friendly. 87 octane is more expensive because is has NO ethanol! (Yay!)

The car wash at this place is great! These guys use bug remover until all of that gunk you've picked up on the interstate is completely gone. COMPLETELY GONE. You get a damp towel for wiping off your dashboard, they towel off your car at the end and dry your mirrors. They top it off by cleaning out your door jambs and giving you an air freshener and a garbage bag. Awesome.
