If you are a Tesla owner, READ THIS before making the decision to go. First off, i LOOOVED the touchless carwash. It was just what i was looking for. Unfortunately, i didn't read these reviews before going and i scrapped my left back rim pretty bad.  The entrance is not the best and i had to back up and go forward very cautiously several times just to get in, but not cautiously enough bc i still managed to scrap my rim. Mind  you my car is less than 2 months old. The sound of my rim scrapping against the curb was painful, i felt my body go cold. Worst feeling ever. The possibility of scraping the lower bumper or any of the rims is a very high possibility with the way this entrance is designed. I had to pay $120 to do a rim repair the next day, so this car wash ended up coasting me $133 dollars. Sad, because i would love to come here weekly, but not willing to go through that stress again.

So check it out this is a gas station, how many people right reviews about their local corner gas station. Well I guess I do and there is a really good reason for it. This gas station is actually really nice. There pricing is not the best, the truth is there are two other Shell Stations in the Costa Mesa area and both of them have better pricing but they. It's are dirty, scary and have ZERO customer service. So if your looking for the best price then this station is nit for you. What this place does have to offer is clean fuel stations, a clean liquor store or or convince store that offers a little of everything. There is a great touch less car wash that actually does a really good job. I wish the dryer stayed on a little longer because it's not the best but I love that there are no brushes. They also have good customer service and I say that with a smile on my face. I mean the employees are nice, they say hello when you walk in and they answer yes and no questions. I guess they probably are very knowledgeable about the chips and candy that they sell I'm nit really sure. Now the owners on the other hand are really nice. The older gentleman that has been around for years seems super nice and his daughter is awesome. She helped me figure out a solution regarding their new car was. She literally went out and we walked the car wash together. Super nice and super helpful. Regarding the price of fuel, at the time of this review pricing was around $6.30 for a gallon of diesel but because I shop at Ralph's I saved $.30 a gallon. Sometimes I save $1.00 so shopping at Ralph's and buying from Shell really pays off. Plus the Shell diesel is really good. This place always has nice cars!! There are a couple high end dealerships in the area so there is a good chance you will see a few exotic car or two. Also on Saturdays and Sundays  many of the locals pull their high end cars out of the garage and head to the local Cars and Coffee.  If I owned this particular gas station I would specialize in some really good unique snacks and turn my little liquor store in to a local cormorant high end pit stop for the locals and offer hard to find beef jerky, mustards BBQ sauces specialty candies from around the world. With all that said this is my favorite gas station in Costa Mesa and for that I give them FIVE STARS!
