Turnpike Shell and The Point Market - Goleta, California

Great place to go when you need something in the neighborhood! I go here all the time with my boyfriend and the regular attendants are chill and never rude, always greeting with a smile. There’s a specific employee on the late shift (10-12pm) who likes to be rude and rush my boyfriend and I whenever we go in. Say we’re redeeming a lottery ticket and then buying something with the money. She likes to make snarky comments about hurrying up (we’ve only been looking for a couple of minutes LITERALLY) so that she can do whatever it is that she “needs to do” when I highly doubt that she ever leaves her spot after we exit. Tonight we had an actual conversation and once again, she suggested at us to ”hurry up and choose so that she can use the restroom” with a very snide and tight smile on her face. Time before that she was making unprovoked comments along the lines of, “hurry up and get out so that I can take my lunch.” Once again, everyone else and the market itself is absolutely fine. This specific employee is just snide with no provocation. For me, she makes the store trip inconvenient and she definitely behaves as if she doesn’t value customers or their time/patience.

I came out of the bathroom after only 3 minutes and my car was gone. Someone told me it rolled away, which isn’t possible. It goes into park when you open the door. I had the fob in my pocket. Someone sneaked in behind me and drove away. I left it on but took the key with me. I found it parked on the sidewalk near the intersection facing the other direction. Bizarre. Happy ending. Dog and car ok.

Station refused to offer video, employees said they didn’t see anything but they told me it rolled away? Very strange.

Bathroom was clean. Employees very nice before the incident.

The market and carwash are nice but there are two reasons I avoid this place: the pumps play ads as you are pumping that 5$ gas (greed is greed I guess). And for some reason in the late evenings there are tons of sheriff's deputies (10+) hanging out in one corner of the parking lot. It makes the entire area feel unsafe especially since so many of these guys are refusing vaccines, masks, and testing.

Gas is cheaper than the Mobil across the freeway on Hollister. Store is well stocked for those on the road munchies! The Car Wash is phenomenal. The workers there are thorough washing your car before it goes in the automatic washer. Please tip them, they work very hard!

This car wash used to be great. And they used to have people that would pre wash and hand scrub your car before you went in. This made a big difference, and was what set you apart from all of the other car wash places! Today was my first time here since they put in the new carwash, and the new one is HORRIBLE! This photo of the back of my car shows that the back half of my little car somehow didn't even get WET going through this carwash! And the rest of my car doesn't look much better. I can honestly say this is the worst carwash I have ever been through. I might as well have just flushed $15 down the toilet. Find somewhere else to get your car washed!!

Always a few cents more than the location near the Ralph's which is a bummer. On the plus side the staff here in the afternoons/evenings are friendly. Easy to get a car wash!

If you care about your paint then avoid coming here. I didn’t have any scratches prior to coming here and I thought since it’s a “touch less car wash” it wouldn’t scratch my paint. The attendant that pre washes the car has a mitt that obviously isn’t cleaned regularly and the end result is having heavy scratches on your paint

With sarcasm and a blatant lack of empathy, I was told i could not make a transaction using this dollar pictured. Of course the dollar is completely legal tender even with a torn corner. The lack of costumer service given was completely disrespectful and to be honest quite rude. I live up the block from this gas station and have gone here literally everyday for years. I have always been happy with the employees and felt comfortable going there. Sadly i will not be returning here until the employee and manager on duty are gone. Also note that the stop n shop down the road was happy to accept any legal tender i had, no matter the form.
