Mobil

This place has pretty good gas prices compared to other stations in the area. Their air service was a life saver once, when I was running behind schedule, and had a tire that was near flat. I was able to put air into it, and it lasted until I could get to a tire center to replace the tire.
I like how convenient the location is, as MB Blvd is one of many routes I take to the beach cities.

Terrible car wash and unbelievably terrible customer service.
I’ve used the wash about five times now and last time I won’t be going back. Usually, it’s just very sub-​par, I only use for a light wash. It doesn’t even rinse your car off properly, if you do luck out and go on a day where there is soap, you’ll still have soap on your car when it’s done. And, it smells like sewer. They must be using gray water and it just smells like a dumpster. Also the credit card reader on the vacuum has worked once out of the five times I tried it. My card works everywhere else I go on a daily basis.
Last time I went (¼/​15) the wash died 3 seconds into my wash, so I went to the clerk, I won’t say her name but it starts with a T and ends with an A, to ask for refund. She said she cannot give refunds on the car wash. I said OK how about a slip for another wash and see if it works the second time. She had just begun emptying trashes around the property and smugly told me I’d have to wait until she empties all the trashes, it will take ten minutes. I said OK… really? Ok…
So, by now a line has grown all around the outside of the building as there was nobody else working there and she locked the doors while performing this highly important task. Another customer approached her and asked if they could be let in the building and she said «not until I finish with the trashes.» When I asked when I can speak with the manager (no sense in voicing complaints to her obviously) she rolled her eyes and said «he’s Indian…». Seriously!!! I was shocked and appalled at such a response but just continued and asked for his name and schedule which she very rudely gave me. BTW through all of this I remained very calm and patient, so all attitude was one sided.
Also the parking lot is always horrendous as it’s on a busy intersection and next to a Trader Joe’s driveway that’s alway backed up.
TL;DR: The employee prioritized trash over customers, and made racist comments about their management.

I think this is a good gas station, though other reviewers don’t seem to agree.
PROs:
— Always the best price along the MB corridor of Aviation.
— Accessible in and out from Aviation going south and Manhattan Beach Blvd west
— Plenty of pumps
— Friendly staff and well stocked mini-​store (even sells propane cylinders!)
— Always have windshield washer squeegeez filled with clean solution
CONs:
— Very high traffic during rush hour and Trader Joes doesn’t help the traffic jams
— I only used the car wash once and it doesn’t do the worlds greatest job
— The moto cops hide in here on the corner and give cell phone tix to people
All-​in-​all a very good place to fuel up!
ENJOY!

Worst car wash ever. No rinse before the soap is applied, and the rinse does not have enough water pressure to get dirt off. DON’T GET YOUR CAR WASHED HERE, IT’S A RIPOFF.
I do like how they don’t touch your car with brushes, but it’s still not worth it

Complete CAGADA! Sometimes there is soap, sometimes there is not. The clerk gave me a slip to return another day, but wash was out of order for a whole week. Finally returned again and… NO SOAP! Hello Jungle Wash on Rosecrans, 3 doors east of Inglewood.

I wanted to simply play the Lottery but I also needed to go to Trader Joe’s. I knew this Mobil Gas Station was located right next door so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone.
I pulled into the parking lot (aka Gas Pumps) which is located on the corner of Manhattan Beach Blvd & Aviation. I walked inside and was shocked to be greeted by the cashier ‘Welcome to Mobil, Sir.’ The cashier was very nice and very helpful, if I asked a question all answers were ‘Yes, sir’ & ‘No, Sir.’ I was able to play the lottery and be on my way.
Before I left I took a quick look around the store and found quite a few items for sale. This Mobil had an automotive section, a gourmet coffee section, sold your basic food items, alcohol (if you are a drinker), slushy’s, ice cold drinks & propane tanks. This Mobil Gas station even had a Car Wash and vacuums. I would never use the car wash but a line of cars were.
If you are thinking of making illegal turns out of this parking lot BEWARE. This is where Manhattan Beach P.D. hides looking for violators turning left into the Trader Joe’s parking lot. They hide behind the gas sign separating the Mobil Gas Station & Trader Joe’s parking lots.
As for the Gas prices, they were basically the same give or take a few cents which is quite surprising based on the prime location of this Gas Station. If and when I am in the area which I will be because I love Trader Joe’s I will come back here, I will come here to play Powerball so the store can get 00.1% of my winnings. I believe that is the current rate for the store that sold you the ticket but don’t quote me on it.

Had car wash, not enough soap/​wax sprayed, was still dirty after wash. Went to speak with the clerk, explained, asked for refund, but refused and told me I would need to wait for the manager to come in at anytime. Not friendly and helpful. Would not come back for both gas and wash.

best gas prices between home & work.

The car wash is horrible here. They charge $ 7 for an express wash even with a fill up and if you don’t the receipt within a few days you can’t use it.
If you go to the Mobil station on Artesia and Ridge in Redondo it is $ 3.99 for an express wash with a fill up and the car wash is much more efficient and although it does have an expiration date on the receipt the receipt does work after that date.

Car wash is horrible! Even the manager thought my car was still dirty after the «second» time through the wash. I first washed it with the middle priced wash of $ 8.00. Told the manager it was still dirty, he said the deluxe one would clean the car. The regular wash just sprays water and doesn’t really wash the car. I told him give me my money back and I will get the $ 9.00 deluxe wash. Huge difference in wash time, plus it sprayed all sorts of funky colored stuff on my car. The water «looked» dirty too coming off my car that time. Anyhow I told him to look at my car and he said I should go to a hand wash place. :(Took me for $ 9.00 wash. I do not recommend going here for a car wash!
