Auto Pride Car Wash

I went here today to get my oil changed b/c I saw they were running a special for oil change and full service car wash for $37.95. Unfortunately that's when the good news stops.

The service man tried to convince me I needed synthetic oil for my 99 VW Jetta (which would bump the oil change price up to $70!) When I questioned why I had never heard this before, he developed a smart-ass attitude and told me that I should read my owner's manual. I managed to hold my ground and told him to use the same 10W-40 I have been using for 6 years, but not without feeling totally taken for a ride.

When I came to pick up the car, the technican in question did apologize for his attitude, which I appreciated, but all the same I still hold a grudge for him trying to make me feel like an idiot and sell me a $70 oil change.

As for the full service car wash, I was very disappointed. The interior was vacummed but they didn't even bother to wipe down the dash or the cup holders. I can only hope the half ass job was due to the promotion. I can't imagine paying full price for that!

PROS: carwash+oil change in one stop, fast service
CONS: attitude, quality, price

i bring my car here every once in awhile, and they always do a great job. they usually have coupons floating around, sometimes on the back of the local Safeway receipts. you can get your whole car, inside and out, or just the outside done, but either way they do a great job. they do everything by hand so there will be no scratches or anything like that. basically they do a really good job.

PROS: everything done by hand
CONS:

I would say the wash and dry is pretty good. Remember to use the coupons thoughs. Another great feature of this place is that they have cheaper than average Chevron gas.
