Chevron

I have been going to this drive-​thru car wash for over 10 years. It is a fast and easy way to get my car washed and the line isn’t ever too long. The guys who work inside at the register and at the car wash are always friendly and quick!

FRAUD WARNING!
Second time I’ve had to get a hold taken off my credit card after visiting this Chevron. My bank rep told me it was because of suspected fraud, then showed me 7 instances where this Chevron tried to charge over $ 100 to my card…
This place will rip you off! The bank rep told me they’re placing this Chevron on their fraud lists…

I only get gas here sometimes because if you go to Overland and Venice that gas is cheaper. I do like to come here for the car wash though. It’s one those automatic drive-​through ones. The cheapest car wash is $ 5.99. You can go to the cash register and pay or pay at the gas pump and sometimes I even just give the guy who’s manning the car wash station six dollars. I love the automatic carwash because it’s the only one that’s in my neighborhood. All the other ones are the kind we have to wait half an hour so for them to detail your car by hand which is great at times but I hate sitting there and waiting. I only wish the car wash here was open really late. I don’t know what the hours are but it seems to only really be during business hours or during the daytime.

Family owned and operated for forever. Mike and Jaime are good guys and run a «do the right thing» type of business. The car wash guys are always friendly and the cashiers are professional. Big clean lot. Vacuums. Car wash.

Don’t ya love when pumps don’t work when you find out the hard way –no sign. And always when you’re in a hurry!
Fortunately this has only happened to me a few time here over the past few years. This is our one and only gas station in the area. The wiper water is usually clean. The workers are usually friendly.
This Chervon is A-​OK.

I came here to get a car wash and pump some gas for the first time. it was a nice one stop shop experience and the prices were fair. i would recommend this location. it is conveniently located to the college and the shopping centers.

This review is for the car wash:
The lines for the car wash are hit and miss. I haven’t figured out when the peak hours are. The line usually extends into the middle aisle of pumps, which can get tricky when people are using them.
It’s only $ 6 for a regular wash. I suggest paying at the cashier driving your car in line. You can pay when you get to the front of the line, but it holds up the line since they then have to go inside and swipe your credit card. Be considerate and just pay before you get in line!
The actual wash takes less than 5 mins. You sit in the car as it is pulled through the sprayers. On your way out, you pass through these vacuum arm thingys that suck the water off your car. It never does a good job. I usually swing back around to the pumps, and use the squeegee to dry my windows.
This car wash is quick and cheap. I guess I shouldn’t have high expectations, but I’m never satisfied with the outcome.

The easiest pumps in the area and the Bubble Machine car wash!

Women do be crazy sometimes. After receiving harsh words from a close female family member earlier today, I went from feeling like not-​that-​bad-​a-​person-​in-​general to accused and bewildered. Since I didn’t feel like dashing in front of one of L.A.‘s many speeding cars to make up for my perceived offense, I decided to give her some space and myself a non-​violent mood lifter. Time for a car wash!
I rarely ever get asked to recommend an everyday car wash, but if I had to suggest one it would be the Chevron located on Overland and Jefferson. It’s automatic, it’s quick, it’s affordable, it cleans well, it’s open until 8pm, and it’s conveniently there. There are several combo or a la carte items for you to choose from on the blue «menu» board to the right of the wash, and staffers do a reasonably thorough surface pre-​clean prior to sending your car inside.
The Car Wash: Shift into neutral, and sit back as the conveyor belt pulls your vehicle through the heavy entry piles slapping the windshield and the sides of the car. Once you’re inside, clear your mind to focus on the brief minutes of, depending on what you paid for, cleaning, scrubbing, waxing, polishing, spraying, and drying going on around you. Towards the end of the ride, if your mind hasn’t wandered away on its own, you may be able to sense the dryer vacuums sucking out any bad vibes inside the car as well as most of the water drops on the outside. After the wash is over, the car is clean, and figuratively, so are you.
If you don’t happen to swing into the lot at precisely the right moment on the weekends, try again later when the long line shortens, but if you’re patient enough to wait in line, you can always save yourself and other drivers some time by pre-​paying at the counter and placing your wash marker on top of your car. The usual fill ‘er up services can be found here as well, including Chevron’s signature Techron gas with 20 cents/​gallon Vons reward redemption discounts (see in-​store for details!), and an extremely limited convenience store around the register, but we usually just come by for the wash.
Who has the time to dwell on how awful life or you can be anyway? Cut yourself some slack for being human, and forgive yourself at the car wash.
