Chevron

This is a review based on the gas attendant that wears glasses.
It was about 9:30pm and I pulled up to get gas. When I was finished I went to start my car. It wouldn’t start. My battery died. There were no other cars at the station but the gas attendants. I went inside and asked him if he could jump my car. He said no. That I can purchase jumper cables from him. I informed him I have cables. He said no he cant help. I let him know that I am 9 months pregnant and its dark and cold outside to wait around for another person to pull up. He said for me to walk to O’Reileys and go buy a new battery. I told him I just need a jump because I left my headlights on while putting gas and I need to get home. He said no he wont help me. I asked if it was against company policy. He said no that he just isn’t going to help. I walked out crying. I am 9 months pregnant and its not like I have tools to to replace my battery. I find it disturbing that this man would not help me. I even said I would give him $ 10! Wtf. I called my boyfriend and he had his brother come jump my car. I used to go to this Chevron for car wash and gas. At least once a week. I no longer go here just because of the way he treated me. He made me so stressed. So glad my boyfriends brother was able to help me. It took 20 minutes just to see another car come to the gas station after all of this.

This review is primarily for the car wash attached to this Chevron. And sadly; it could be a lot better. If your car is mostly clean and you want a touch-​less wash to rinse off a surface layer of dust then this will do a decent job. If however you’ve gotten back from Tahoe or just have neglected the outside of your car for a few months: forget about it. It does a pretty poor job for any real cleaning.
Not only does this car wash not work well but there are pigeons living inside the exit of the wash just waiting to cancel out any clean spots the car wash actually made!
Otherwise this is a regular Chevron, if somewhat dirtier of one.

This location accept Apple Pay, including Discover card!!! This location is the cheapest around the area that would accept Apple Pay…

NOTE This review is for the car wash.
This is my first time at this Chevron. This location has gas, food mart, and a automatic touchless car wash. I had purchased my $ 8 Delux Car Wash inside and the attendance was very friendly. They also do the stamp/​reward card for the Chevron car wash, on the 6^th one you get a free «The Works» car wash. There aren’t that many automatic touchless car washes in San Jose so I appreciate the ones that have them to clean my car fast.
After my car wash I drove off and noticed that my car has a lot of water spots. Whenever I get a Delux car wash at other location, there aren’t any watcher spot. I am very disappointed about this. Additionally there was a long line for the car wash when I went.
On another note, this location also has their paper towels, soapy water and squeegee stocked.
Two stars for the friendly service but overall was not satisfied with the touchless car wash.

I had to learn the hard way, TWICE. This car wash left my car looking worse than before i came here.
Both times it left soap residue in giant streaks across all sides of my car. so it doesn’t rinse it well enough. It also doesn’t dry the car that well either… no matter how slow you drive under the air jets.

We went there for their car wash but then the machine doesn’t even has the brush against the car so plainly spray soup, water then dry. My 8 dollars is totally wasted. i suggest you wash it yourself and it might be better.

This corporately-​owned Chevron ranks high in my book. Pricing is usually slightly cheaper than competitors in the area.
The paper towel dispenser is usually stocked and the squeegees are in good working order w/​plenty of soapy water.
The only minor drawback is that the location is about ~1 mile from the nearest freeway!

Quick, decent drive through car wash.

The carwash is crap. Don’t do it.
However, this Chevron tends to be moderately priced for a Chevron station. It’s way more expensive by my house, though there’s a cheaper station along my commute. I go here because it’s convenient and close to work.

PLEASE NOTE: This review is only for the automated brushless car wash in the back. At the pump, I’m happy that a gallon of Premium costs $ 3.33 at the time of my visit.
My automobiles seem to be magnets for bird droppings. I mean, I’ll be parked next to any other car and for some reason, only mine would be bombarded with poop, I kid you not.
Two weekends ago, after chalking a few hundred miles trekking from Mojave to Malibu, Rover badly needed a wash to remove the desert sand, sea salt, the assortment of droppings and road kill.
I went to my regular favorite Chevron
for a no-​frills, no-​wait wash. Unfortunately, it was damaged ‘coz someone had driven into the wash mechanism. The attendant directed me to this location instead.
At $ 6 for foam /​rinse, $ 8 deluxe foam /​rinse /​blow and $ 10 for the works including RainX protectant, it sounded similar, but to my dismay, it wasn’t. It’s a totally different system.
Here, you need to pay first inside the Extra Mile shop then proceed to the car wash and find a bunch of rules e.g. no trucks, no SUVs, no motorcycles, no bicycles, no loose non-​standard accessories protruding from your vehicle etc posted outside the wash.
The rotating pulsating jets look more promising in a jacuzzi than removing dust, let alone the stubborn heavy duty road tar. The blow dry was a joke. It made alot of noise, but lacked the force to dry effectively.
My rims and tires looked the same as before the wash. The wheelwells were just as dirty. Overall, only a third got washed as the roof was still marked with droppings.
To sum it up:
a) If you’re looking for a cursory wash, go here.
b) If you’re going on a date or use your ride for business, avoid.

Gas, store and «touchless» automated car wash. I buy my gas cheaper elsewhere, but I show up here because it’s my nearest cheap car wash. The car wash is just fine when you want to wash the road dust off your car frequently but you don’t want to shell out a lot of dough. I’m not going to rave about this place, but… if you’re a cheap but clean person like I am, this Chevron touchless car wash is good enough.
