This is my go-​to gas station since it’s the closest one to home. Gas price is average here. It’s never too busy so no need to wait. Easy to get in and out.
Carwash at this place is not very good though. I got the carwash one time and felt I wasted my money for nothing. It pretty much just got my car wet, but didn’t really clean anything.

I walked into the store to pay for my gas with a $ 50 bill. An older man behind the counter told me that he couldn’t break the bill and that I should just use it all on gas. I told him that there was no way my car would even use that amount in gas and asked for my money back. He then proceeded to open the till, which had a ton on change, and broke the bill which he said he couldn’t. I don’t know what kind of shady business this place is conducting but I don’t appreciate being lied to or potentially scammed! I’ve also been here on other days where they just didn’t have gas but no signage was up to indicate so. The same older man had come out yelling, «No gas! No gas!» after I had swiped my card. He didn’t care to tell whether the card had cancelled out, he just waved his hands at me to leave. Absolute zero on customer service at this place, if don’t have to gas here bring your business elsewhere.

This review is for the automatic car wash only. The gas station is fine — spacious, easy to get in and out of, pumps in good repair — though a little on the expensive side. Unfortunately it is attached to the worst automatic car wash in the world. I’m not exaggerating. It just doesn’t clean your car. I’ve tried both the regular and premium washes, thinking maybe if I spent the couple extra bucks my car would be clean, but nope. Doesn’t make a difference. Also, at $ 7 for the cheapest wash, it’s not even that good of a price — there are many automatic car washes that for $ 5 will get your car much cleaner than this.
I’m not even talking about water spots, I’m talking about just plain dirt that should come off with even the slightest spray of water. The way this thing limply squirts soap and water on your car, it somehow manages to keep as much dirt on as possible. Trust me, I’m not that picky when it comes to my car — I’m not the person that goes to the automatic car wash and then spends the next 30 minutes meticulously wiping off every drop of water. I just want my car to look mostly clean. This place did not get me there.

I was in Aliso Viejo and needed a car wash so I pulled into this gas station. There was a car in the wash and two people waiting ahead of me but it’s a Friday night so I guess everyone wants a clean car for the weekend. I settle in and wait and after about 20 minutes it’s finally my turn. I pull up and attempt to use my credit card to pay for a wash but there’s something wrong with the credit card processor. It keeps telling me to enter my code or insert my credit card. I check this pic on the machine to make sure I’m inserting it correctly, check! I try again, no workie. I even tried another credit card. Nothing.
I was so disappointed. I could have gone into the gas station and paid and gotten a code, but then everyone in the line would have hated me. Not to mention I was wearing my hanging-​out-​in-​the-​house clothes and hot pink crocs, not my going out in public clothes. So, I drove through and drove to the Shell in Mission Viejo. So frustrating.
Pay for your car wash at the pump!

Preface: I am not a gasonista. I don’t roll around town checking gas prices. I mean, I should, but I don’t.
This gas station is right off the 73, it has a very clean and spacious layout. It is a nice place to get gas, but I will say it is fairly expensive. My limited knowledge of the convenience store is that it has many caffeinated beverages and delicious tasty treats. There is also a car wash, which I have never used. In the same parking lot, is a Carls, Jr, which makes it a one-​stop shop for a traveler on the go.

The convenience store attached to this gas station is clean, has friendly service, easy to get in and out of, and always has a special on some sort of treat.
Gas prices are usually a tad lower at this Aliso Viejo gas station.
