Mobil Oil

Worst car wash place ever. Brand new car rim was scratched while going through car wash ($ 200 to fix) Owner Mike 847−966−9710 said it’s my fault basically and said there was no way it could happen here. It’s a brand new car and yes it did happen here. Becky #416 was having a cigarette when I was getting the was she saw me and took pictures to show the owner. Did not take ownership and basically told me to go kick sand. Thanks for your service NEVER AGAIN WWILL WE GO THERE. Watch out for this gas station I would not trust them.

For this area this is one of my go to gas & convenience stations for a decent price on fuel and available amenities. Amenities such as window wiper fluid which is usually stocked with clean squeegees and towels. This Mobil also offers a car wash station which is touch-​less and purchase of any of three wash styles ($ 5 — $ 7) will garner you a discount on the price of gas. For example the other day a gallon of unleaded fuel cost $ 4.22 and with a car wash purchase the gas price was reduced to $ 4.02. For a touch-​less wash it is decent even at the $ 5 dollar price. After two days and a couple downpours my wash is still streak free and looking smart.
If you shop at Dominick’s for your grocery needs you may have heard they have recently partnered with Mobil to offer discounts on gas because of credits earned buying groceries. An example of the fuel discount would be to receive ten cents off per gallon on your next gas purchase. Something which is not noted (or explained properly) by staff or on marketing at the gas station is that once you decide to use your credits off gas (Dominick’s card) this price reduction cannot be used in conjunction with the car wash special. It’s one or the other. (Makes sense in your head, two offers cannot be used together but when swiping your Dominick’s loyalty card and then making gas payments at the pump it’s easy to not realize this since the antiquated system at the pump gives minimum details.)

This Mobil gas station operates under the name of Bucky’s Express. It’s located on the southwest corner of Waukegan Road and Golf Road. Access is available from eastbound Golf or Southbound Waukegan.
I stopped in for gas and used my credit card at the pump. Washer solvent, paper towels and a squeegee were available at the pump. After I was done, I received a printed receipt at the pump.
At the time of my gas purchase, the price was competitive with other stations in the area.

There is a $ 5 touchless carwash here which I use with some frequency despite the fact that the sprayers fail to remove any more dirt than a moderate rain shower would. For five bucks, I don’t have much room for complaint, but that never stopped me before.
Besides the anemic washer performance, it’s also nearly impossible to read the display screen on a sunny afternoon. And forget about making a left turn in any direction, so only pull in here if afterwards you plan to go south on Waukegan or east on Golf.
On the plus side: when I used to come here in the mid-​00s, there was always a line for this carwash, but in the last several weeks I have never waited behind more than one vehicle, and most times I can go straight in.
