Tanna’s Exxon

BEWARE: the car wash uses spinning rubber wheels and ended up leaving about 30 parallel scratches on the hood of my trunk. Aside from damaging my car it overall didn’t get the car very clean either.
I have attempted to contact them by phone, but they do not answer and their voicemail is full.
Update: I spoke with the manager, obviously he states that they are not responsible for damages. Aside from that he was very unprofessional and unhelpful, but I do applaud him for offering to give me a free car wash (YAY!) and for providing statistics on the number of car washes they do per day. Congrats on 100 washes per day!

Wow! Regular gas is finally under two dollars in Arlington! This is a standard gas station with a rare car wash. A brushes car wash costs $ 8 – 10. The $ 10 car wash does a pretty good job and goes over your car twice.

Place is a dump. Car wash always broken. Vacuumes always broken. Run by African or middle eastern cheapskates who won’t fix anything.

This place usually has pretty cheap gas, but the employees are a bunch of dicks

Gas: the gas pumps are pretty standard. There’s enough rows of them that this station is never too filled and I usually don’t have to wait to fill up unless i’m going during the evening weekday rush hour.
Car wash: So. This is the only automated car wash around North Arlington. ?! How that is possible, I just don’t know. It’s not fancy — in fact, it seems to have more buttons missing and lights broken everytime I go. But, it does «clean» my car when I’m in a rush — I use the word «clean» in a broad sense… My car is cleaner when I leave then when I arrived but it’s never really sparkling and usually has some streaking/​residue left over. That is fairly standard for an automated car wash, though. There’s almost ALWAYS a line 4 cars deep for the car wash, even in the middle of the day. Be prepared to wait. A few times the attendant has forgotten to open one of the doors of the carwash so people were trying to back out when the carwash was done rather than being able to drive forward, causing a big traffic jam. This would get another star if they would just keep the carwash in good running order and just in better overall condition. It really does feel like they do the bare minimum in terms of up-​keep. The carwash must be a gold mine for the owner. Basic car wash costs $ 8.
Note: Situated inbetween Clarendon Blvd and Wilson Blvd — two one way streets. Also, you must PRE-​PAY for the carwash, so don’t bother jumping in the long line without either paying while getting gas at the pump or running in to pay the attendant — you’ll get a code to type in to start the carwash.

Prices for the car wash are 8÷9÷10. Only regular coffee for self serve. The creamer is in the cooler in the back, which is nice.

The only reason this car wash gets one star is because it washed the car. Otherwise it would get zero. The inside of the car wash was disgusting and the exit of the wash area was broken, so I had to back out when it was done. I nearly took out my rear view mirror, and ended up having to roll my — very wet — window down to fold my mirror in, even though the attendant was right there and could have helped a sister out since he saw how close it was. Either way, he didn’t, and now my otherwise clean car has a lovely streaked driver’s window. It also missed the entire center of my trunk.
Bottom line: I will not be going back, and I would never recommend this place to anyone unless they feel like improving their reverse driving skills.

This is the worst car wash I’ve ever used by a country mile (it also seems to break down frequently), but unfortunately it’s also one of the only automatic car washes in Arlington

I like this place. This is the closest gas station to my house and it never seems crowded or anything. I came by to fill up my tire with air and realized that the machine only accepted quarters. I went inside to ask the guy for change but wasn’t sure if I would need $ 1 or $ 2 worth of air. He told me he would give me the quarters and if I didn’t use the 2 bucks, he could always change it back for me. I thought that this was really nice of him.
The other thing I like about Exxon is if you shop at safeway, for every $ 100 you spend you get 10 cents off per gallon. The other day I got off 30 cents per gallon.
No issues!

I was pleased with the car wash at this Exxon. I went last night to get the salt off my car. The price is steep ($ 10 dollars for the premium, $ 6 for the regular), but the attendant was very friendly. I paid for the car wash at the gas station and then drove in. It was a solid 5 min wash and my car looked pretty decent after. At least the salt was off it. Obviously not completely dry but I would go again to remove snow salt. Thanks to the friendly attendant too. I called ahead to make sure they were open in sub 32 °F weather and they were!

Whoa, do NOT get your car washed here. It scratched the living hell out of my car and I spent about $ 200 to get a guy to buff all of the scratches out.

My 6 yr old nephew could have done a better job washing my car! After waiting 29 minutes to get in the car wash (I timed it, thanks to the time on my receipt), I was «thanked» with a crappy wash with dirt smudges on the side and back of my car. I suppose I could have gone in and asked to go through again, but since I didn’t want to spend all day doing this, I left.
What is it with the Metro DC area… where do people go for a GOOD car wash? There was a great one at the Shell station on Wilson across from the Ballston Mall, but the whole station is under construction, and maybe closed.
For $ 8 – 10, contact me, and I will put you in touch with my nephew…

So you know, if you’re a guy they won’t bother to help you with the car wash. You also need to pre pay for the car wash. If you’re waiting in line there is no indication of that.
