Shoreline Chevron

I was looking for a touchless car wash for my new car, then I found this place near home, but the reviews gave me pause. The price is so reasonable that I had to give it a try, just wasn’t expecting much. But the outcome was beyond my expectation. I did the $ 8 wash. Even though there were three cars ahead of me, each took less than 5 min, so the wait was not a big deal. I had large spots of bird droppings on my windshield and side panels, a few days old, but the high pressure wash cleaned them all. The dry cycle of course is not as dry as a hand dry, but it’s fast; and after driving three miles home, the car is almost all dry except a few very faint water spots. For this price and so little time, I can wash my car once a week and feel good about it. I wouldn’t go back to those auto+hand wash places any more, always hated waiting outside for at least half an hour just so they can do a half decent cleaning.

The car wash sometimes does OK job and sometimes very bad. Leaves dried splotches on car. Sometimes soap suds too. You need to wash it yourself after the wash — and spots still not fully removed. Don’t think your car can’t get damaged from touch less.

I had my car wash at this place on Feb 3, 2016. The person who attended me was heavy set with earrings pierced into both cheeks. His hair was curly.
I came here in spite of bad Unilocal reviews because I urgently needed a touchless car wash and I was nearby at the Best Buy on Charleston. I parked my car in the wrong spot at work and got carpet bombed by a combination of birds and some sort of fruit tree.
The basic wash offered no less washing than the most expensive wash so I went with that. All I wanted was for the junk to be removed. I wasn’t expecting this to be a $ 20 hand wash. So I get finished and there’s still a lot of bird poop and mashed fruit on the roof of my car. So I went back to the booth to explain my situation. All I expected was for him to kindly offer me a second wash at no charge. It was clear that the sole purpose behind the wash went unfulfilled. He told me straight up that a touch less wash isn’t good for a car that had that kind of issue. I said well is there anything you can do for me and he said no. As a business owner myself, I would have done something. For the cost of a second wash he would have gotten a positive Unilocal review for stepping up. And if the wash still didn’t remove all of the debris, I would have moved on.
Unrelated to his unprofessional behavior and the poor wash, the washer itself is at least 15 – 20 years old. It is of a poor quality and the ground beneath it is eroding aggressively. It is time to upgrade their facilities and if they do, chances are the washes will be more thorough.
So if you need an actual car wash or if you want good service, go elsewhere. If you simply need gas and you pay at the machine… it won’t matter.

Very accessible esp since I was on my way back home from Shoreline Dog Park. Gas was pretty cheap, cheaper than most gas stations on El Camino. Attendent was very friendly and everything seemed very clean and maintained. There is also a carwash if needed. If I lived a bit closer it would be my go to gas station, would definitely recommend to others and gas up again nearby.

I have used the carwash many times for the past 6 years. Never had a problem except today. What happened was the wash sequence was somehow shifted. The person in front me got my wash and I got the wash from the person behind me. So I went to the cashier to fix the problem and tried to get my money back since the wash I paid for was more than the wash. The value difference is not a lot. I could have just left. After explaining what happened to the cashier, the only response from him is that he wasn’t there and he doesn’t know what we did there so he can’t pay me the difference. However, he was willing to give credit to the person behind me. It doesn’t make sense. So he kept stating that he is not responsible for what happened there. So why even have a car wash if you don’t want to be responsible for it. The cashier was probably doing his job; trying to prevent any lost of money. But the problem was simple and self explanatory. A little bit of common sense can go a long way. Will not back there again to save my self trouble.

Decent prices for the area and proximity to 101.
I come here, however, for the touch-​less car wash. One of the very few in the area. Touch-​less does not mean spot-​less, by no means. But at least it won’t ruin your finish. You still gotta wipe some stuff off.
Toilet onsite.

this carwash had been recommended to me. sure, you pay a few dollars more than at the shell across the street that does not have a dryer, but at least you don’t get water spots. or so you’d think. on an 80 degree sunny day my car came out still completely wet.
i pull up right in front of the window and walk in to see the cashier.
«hey, i came here and paid extra for the dryer. look.»
his slacker friend/​colleague? — either way, they were annoyed to be interrupted from chatting for the purpose of interacting with an actual customer — looks out and makes the ‘oh, sh*t!’ face and shoots a look at attendant.
his reply: «well, the dryer doesn’t really dry. you know, you drive around and it dries.»
uh-​huh. i actually laugh. really, that is your response?
«my car is also not clean. see the bird poo on the hood.» he still doesn’t move. friend is watching, barely hiding cracking up.
attendant guy says «duh. it’s just water.»
me: «so your answer is… that also the car wash doesn’t actually wash. dryer doesn’t dry, washer doesn’t wash.»
i would have just given me the $ 10 back. but not this guy. he is COMMITTED to not doing anything remotely related to performing his paid job.
shrugs. «there aren’t any brushes. it’s just water… so, yeah.»
is clearly pleased with himself.
dude, well played. bravo. for the $ 10 refund you might have offered me, you cost your employer every future $ 80+ fill up from both of our household cars. we live in this neighborhood and this is the go-​to gas corner. any of the other stations will get our business. we like shell. we are fine without techron.
in summary, only come to this location if you’ll enjoy the memorable problem-​solving customer-​service repartee of the slacker zoo staff.

Very friendly attendants and they’re awake!!!
Surprise surprise… It’s 24 hours, which is a good thing… Honestly I wish all gas stations greeted me like this one…
I mean what more can I do for a review for gas station

$ 10.00 Platinum BRUSHLESS CAR WASH!!!
Although, it didn’t completely clean my car spotless… because of bird poop.
Definitely a good deal, if you need a quick car wash with out waiting or getting out of the car.
Will be coming back again!

I always try to go here but unfortunately I don’t always plan it out well!
cheapest gas prices I have found — and I can get gas anywhere between SF and Santa Clara.
right off the highway.
I like their car wash and you get $ 2 off if you gas up there.

I haven’t been here in almost a year, but I remember the car wash being better… I never expect my car to be completely dry (or even close to it) after I leave one of these automated car washes, but my car was still so wet after getting washed the other day, I might as well have saved two bucks and gone with the wash that doesn’t include a blow dry.

Their automatic touchless car wash is the best!!!

I’m a bit different than the rest of the geeks writing a review on this gas station since I’m not going to tell you about how many gas pumps it has or what candies the mart sells… actually the more I think about it, how lame is it that anyone would need to review any petrol dispensing establishment? Well, count me as part of the elite crew since I feel compelled to let the geek followers know that this location will actually put a huge pending charge on to your credit card after filling up.
Here’s my little story. Rode my motorcycle and she got a bit hungry so I needed to fill her up. Saw a Chevron and said to myself… Yes, Chevron with Techron… corporate marketing works and I remember their tagline. Pumped about $ 9 worth of the petroleum product into my crotch rocket and left like most consumers would. The next day I check my credit card record online and see a pending charge for $ 126! Fortunately I’m not broke and/​or maxing out my plastics so no biggie. But imagine if I was and got dinged by the bank for insufficient funds!?! I’d be one pissed mofo!

Near my house, the prices are the same as anywhere else, close to the freeway… the car wash is kinda frightening, but it gets the job done!
I mean, it’s a gas station… what else can I say :)

A clean, modern Chevron with a touch-​free car wash.
Like most Chevrons, the air and water pumps are free.
The car wash does a good (but not great) job in cleaning the car. Specifically, it might not get completely clean the rear-​end of your vehicle. Otherwise it does a fine job, and it won’t scratch the paint of your car.

Four islands that holds a total of 12 pumps. Tiny convenience store with the requisite junk food:).
Open 24 hours. Gas, junk food and car wash. Basic needs met!

12 pumps, clean, well lite station that is open ²⁴⁄₇ that has a small mart where you can but chips, sodas, candy, etc. The best part of this gas station for me is that they offer free water and air, which is great for me cuz i can stop in on my way back from the near by gym and fill my bike tires. Wow, I was surprised but not totally shocked to see that the price of gas at this station tonight is $ 3.43 yikes!
