“On my way to a RP Costco trip from San Rafael, I chose this place as a “new” place to write about. Access in is rather easy. I should have gone straight from the “116” intersection instead of left due to the time I had to wait at a red light for a right turn behind a straight goer for the way out. About the station, it was nice and clean. The staff reminded me of top rate coffee baristas - it lit up my morning. And, the price is ONLY 30 cents more per gallon than Costco as of June 1, 2026.”

“Definitely slower than other car washes around here BUT, that means they actually clean the vehicle well lol. I could pay the same price across town and get half the clean so why waste money. ALSO they do hand wash (no machine at all) so it’s great for super low cars like some of mine!”

“tl;dr: popped by this 76 for gas only—good prices, working tap-to-pay, and a nice-looking shop I didn’t have time to explore but seemed well-kept from the outside. pumps were clean and functional.”

“I go out of my way to get gas here, mostly because of Melissa. She is a gem. I notice all the customers feel the same. She greets us by name. She's professional, but very personable, and always helpful when issues come up. The gas prices are in line with everywhere else in the neighborhood. I only wish the point system offered more. But that's an extra. I'm happy with Speedway. Melissa is really special. I hope she's appreciated by her employers. Whatever her salary is, she deserves a raise!”
