"DO NOT COME HERE FOR TOUCHLESS CAR WASH"
"Horrible place to grab gas, it’s constantly busy and everyone going in/out is always in a rush and tempers flair there 24/7, getting in/out of there is a nightmare especially if you have to exit onto Carlaw during the day (can only go right until 6:30) and the condition of Carlaw is embarrassing"
"So called luxury car wash it a total rip-off"
"I had a very bad customer service experience here they have a coupon and deal to redeem 10,000 PC optimum points and I have over 100,000 and I came to get a free car wash for 10,000 PC optimum points but for some reason it wasn’t working and I had Rick just driven 15 minutes from downtown Toronto to come here and I called five gas stations to find out which one had a car wash so I can redeem this offer and the guy at the front desk absolutely didn’t help me at all it was a very bad experience I came here at 7 AM on a Thursday morning"
"I come here to gas because it's the nearest esso to my home"
DO NOT COME HERE FOR TOUCHLESS CAR WASH. Jesus where do I start. I came in asking for touch-less car wash (apparently they have both). After waiting 40mins in line o drive up and the screen is broken. I press Help button 6 times until the guy finally answers. I explain that it’s broken and I need to choose touchless, and I can’t even put my code in. He’s like ok and hangs up. I call again and ask so what do I do, he’s like just go in. I explain that I can’t coz I need to pick touchless on the screen first, I have a film on a car that absolutely cannot have brushes going over it. He says yeah I know just go in. I went in and what do you think - of course it starts the non-touchless car wash. I go in to speak with the guy and he just doesn’t get it and tells me that I should have chosen touchless on the screen. Bruh. He said that in response to my “screen didn’t work, it was broken”. Last thing he said to me “your car will be fine, it’s very gentle”. Wow, just wow. My dog understands me better than this guy.
Horrible place to grab gas, it’s constantly busy and everyone going in/out is always in a rush and tempers flair there 24/7, getting in/out of there is a nightmare especially if you have to exit onto Carlaw during the day (can only go right until 6:30) and the condition of Carlaw is embarrassing. If you have a really nice vehicle or your car rises low to the ground avoid this place because your car will be forever grateful! Also due to the Portland’s project dump trucks are EVERYWHERE thus the conditions of the roads are like I said embarrassing with potholes and dips everywhere. The Tim Hortons staff are typical there but at least the service is quick.
So called luxury car wash it a total rip-off. No undercarriage spray. ONLY ONE high pressure cycle. It is a joke. The "luxurious tri foam" product doesn't even cover 50% of the car surface and is washed away milli seconds after. Useless. My car was left with sand and dust on the bumpers. I am convinced the wash cycle has been programmed to be as short as possible, regardless of the result, so they can accommodate a maximum of cars as soon as possible. Leave your car under the next heavy thunderstorm, result will be similar...and will save you $15 and minutes of queuing... Should be out of business or discounted 70%
I had a very bad customer service experience here they have a coupon and deal to redeem 10,000 PC optimum points and I have over 100,000 and I came to get a free car wash for 10,000 PC optimum points but for some reason it wasn’t working and I had Rick just driven 15 minutes from downtown Toronto to come here and I called five gas stations to find out which one had a car wash so I can redeem this offer and the guy at the front desk absolutely didn’t help me at all it was a very bad experience I came here at 7 AM on a Thursday morning
I come here to gas because it's the nearest esso to my home. They have the worest car wash (only rinse once for their luxury wash, others rinse twice) sometimes the Tri soap only have 2 colours, and when u exit the garage after drying, the rolling door would drip a lot of water to make your car wet again. Also, their gas machine hardly read your points card, and if you prepaid inside first, the pump would not working properly. Don't come here to gas unless u have no choice
Worst gas station in Toronto. Prince, the attendant behind the counter gave me the wrong product, didnt notice until I got i to my car because the packaging has changed and is all similar now. Denied till he died, refused to give me the right product or my money back. Prince is a terrible employee, rude, unreasonable and down right un friendly. The bathroom is also always a complete disaster. Go to another gas station, this one is not worth your time, or money.
The owner of this gas station is apparently complaining about cars leaving the station from the left (apparently this bothers the trucks). 8:00am, I didn’t see the sign, I turned left, there was no cars in Carlaw Ave. Five minutes later, driving on the Ave I was pulled over by the police because the owner of the gas station CALLED THE COPS (police officer told me)!! So, you spend money in their business, and they called the cops on you... for a $110 fine.
I’ve been here a few times and will only return if last resort. - had to prepay @ pump (may not apply for all pumps, but didn’t notice any clear indication otherwise). - car wash costs (posted clearly): - basic 9.99, - mid 11.99, - ‘supreme’ 13.99 - Add $3.00 on any of abovementioned if you do not buy gas (Not posted anywhere that I saw. Cashier told me). - car wash does mediocre job.
Not sure why everyone is bashing their car wash, it's pretty standard. I went to wash my car today and it was fine, pretty standard touchless car wash that is on par with other Esso car washes that I've been to. Had the pre-soak foam, triple foam, two rinses, one drip rinse and blow dry. On a Wed afternoon the wait time was about 10 minutes and each wash was about 4-5 minutes.
The 1 star is for PC Optimum points and convenience of location (although ALWAYS busy and cops are always on the lookout to make a buck from people who turn left coming out onto Carlaw, which is a ridiculous restriction), BUT the car wash is absolutely useless and they don't have a tap function to pay at the pump. All gas stations should offer this payment method nowadays.
Clean, fast and lots of options. Very consistent to the brand I recommend this so if you're trying to be quick trying to get gas the prices are a little bit higher than the normal esso in the area so I would try to be a little bit smart when planning ahead if this is your go to so I would not doubt it because I believe you would think this is your go to esso
You have to press the most expensive (I think $21) option for a real car wash that is not touchless and will actually take care of all sides and angles of the car with the scrubbers. The tri colour soap was fun and smelled good too. Line moved quickly and no need to add any further extras. Car went in covered in mud and came out perfectly clean.
The carwash is useless, left streaks of dirt on the sides of the car. Didn’t dry the car properly as well. The tyre inflator did not work either, it didn’t accept the card and when I used a coin nothing happened, the person at the counter was least bothered and didn’t offer any help when I approached him. Avoid this place if possible.
Every single Saturday at 7pm all the pumps are unavailable for some reason due to the cashier saying there is a shift change. I had to wait for 15 minutes to get gas because I was on empty. Seems a little suspicious that this happens at the same time every single week. Counted about 20 vehicles that were turned away because of this.
Review is for the car wash. It's just a spray car wash. And doesn't get ur vehicle clean enough. My car wasn't even fully dirty. After the wash... Rims are still dirty. Body of car is cleaner but everything is not cleaned. Remains of a bird dropping on wind screen are not clean. It's just a spray wash. No scrubbing things.
This rating is not for Esso , this is for a rude cashier , this cashier is not good for Esso , working the late night shift , he was not professional at his job, and should be fired , so the next day I went into store and made a complaint, and the other worker knew what guy I was talking about , Very unprofessional, …
This is our regular gas station. Normally the guys at the counter are nice. At times aggressive drivers entering from the Lake Shore entry drive fast towards inside - this may cause accidents. Possibly some strategically positioned mirrors can help the vehicle movement within the gas station complex.
The car wash is a complete joke and a rip-off. Calling it a wash is ridiculous as all it does is spray pre-soak on the car with barely a rinse for $13!! When brought to the attention of the clerk he simply suggested the premium wash instead of the quick wash. Avoid this place.
I have used my Debit card on this gas station. After this there were unknown transactions under my account. Use machine inside. People who work here may be don’t know about this situation but there has station’s pump machine has some issue.
This being the only car wash downtown, off lakeshore, the premium wash is a ripeoff. The undercarriage was has been broken for the past 6 months and they don't care to fix it. It also doesn't was it twice like it's supposed to.
The staff there seems as if they are afraid of everyone who enters. I pray nothing traumatic has occurred there. I've never seen a staff member there who displayed any sort of assertiveness. Rather surprising.
Every other Esso station allows you to pay for the car wash at the wash entrance, but this Esso doesnt. You have to go inside the store to purchase the wash. Very inconvenient, especially during the pandemic.
Good, it was a clean and tidy place with very friendly service. There is also a Tim horton's inside. And it's very close to woodbine beach! And there are two public washrooms. But you'll have to wait in line.
Do Not Bother With this Car Wash. Went thru twice with a $18 wash. Soap, no wheel or under wash even tho it's paid for, literally 3 minutes of nothing. Much better no touch washes around. Don't even bother.
Great if you are desperate for gas and want to pay about 5 cents / L more on average. The circus parking lot is always fun to navigate because people are inside at the time Horton tables having lunch.
The station is pretty typical, and the prices are a little high for the area. Biggest failing is the car wash. Don't bother. You may as well throw a bucket of water at your car and rip up a $10 bill
The Car Wash here gives you the Option for Full Contact (Brushed) and Touchless Car Wash which are good options to have. Note: It is Super Busy on Saturday Afternoon/Evening which makes you wait in
Just utilized the car wash. Not sure what the hell it did other than clean my roof. Side of vehicle still street dirty with streaks now. So glad I waited thirty minutes to get it washed
This gas station isn't very good anymore. You use to be able to wash your windows when you pumped your gas but now the squeegee water is never refilled and it's always full of garbage.
Worst manager Vichal Shah! He gave me a part time job and after completing almost 7-8 shifts he fired me just because i smoke! Didn’t paid me for the training! Get lost you cheater!
Came to grab chips n drink but it's closed. Then guy who was doing something that he locked it Mad weird n bad customer service. This should be Canadian esso not indian Esso style
Car wash claimed to be touchless absolutely wrecked my car. Took chunks out of the paint/bodywork and left massive marks along the entire body. DO NOT GET YOUR CAR WASHED HERE.
As gas stations go this one has it all. Car wash, modern pumps, store and of course the all important Tim Hortons kiosk. The washroom is even clean. And it is very convenient.
Extremely bad Car wash. Full soap is still remaining in my front grill area. Unfortunately I noticed only when I reached home. I may need an another wash for cleaning this
Generally a little more expensive cause it's just off the highway but very convenient location. Tim Hortons line is usually super long though is recommend the drive thru.
Credit card info was stolen after paying at the pump and used for fraudulent purchase at another Esso the day after. Don't go here, they'll steal you credit card info
This Esso station is always busy and the wait to pay for gas is always really long but on the other hand it does have a Tim Hortons which is why I gave it 3 stars.
The carwash sucks. There is no difference between before going to the car Wash and after. Do not waste your money and time. You better find another carwash.
Bathroom has the most descusting pee smell in the bathroom and no paper towel . About the 5th time. In a row . You can smell it by the drink coolers …
The nozzle fits into the tank hole just right. Always accepts my CC without a word. Always offering to wash my car...so caring. I will definitely be back.
I don’t suggest to going this place for car wash not worth it also doesn’t wash the vehicle very well and very slow, drying system is not helping at all..
Good location. Car washing available. Friendly staff. Tap available at air-pump and vacuum pump; so you don't have to worry about getting hold of change.
It does the trick, the carwash and Tim's lines can be long. The carwash isn't very good, leaving soap spots on my car. Go somewhere else for a good one.
Clean restrooms, lots of gas pumps (can be a little busy at times), good selection of snacks, food and drinks AND it has a Timmies!! Most important lol
The worst car wash ever. Didn’t even spray any soap on my vehicle. And the dryer didn’t even dry 20% of my vehicle. Do not get a car wash here !!!
normally busy during rush hours. The gas station also provides touchless car wash service but the wash program is not as strong as other stations.
busy due to Tim Horton. Even if there is a no left turn signs at Carlaw people still turn left and causes traffic jams within the gas station...
Busy spot and hard to get out of if you're trying to head west. Tim Horton's and a car wash make it a great one stop shop for any road trips.
Probably victim of his own success, this gas station is well located. But with a drive-thru just aside, it's getting jam-packed quite fast.
How do you rate a gas station? Prices are high- but it’s not their fault. It smells like gas, but that’s expected. The store has snacks.
Careful with the car wash. It's a rip off. Drier starts before the rinse finishes. & then only a few seconds left before fans shut off.
Busiest Gas station, very good luxury touch less car wash and friendly people and Tim Horton drive through is also there so its great.
Five star for the timmies inside the gas station. The people are BEYOND friendly. Amazing service. They will put a smile on your face.
For a Gass station it's pretty good, you have alot of pumps, big store with a Tims in it as well as a drive through and a car wash .
Conveniently located - touchless car wash needs to be upgraded. Leaves car with lots of water marks (dryers need more power/time)
Has the slowest and oldest car wash in north America. I was fifth in line for the car wash and took 35 mins to get my car in.
Prices for fuel isn't to bad... diesel pumps are located in between pumps... may be waiting a while before one is available
Car Wash Broken the last 2 times that I went. Also did not have any Premium gas. Useless trip, even more useless station.
do not enter the code until car in front of you leaves, or he/she might back up and use the code you entered wash twice.
Their gas is higher priced than most in the neighbourhood, but they have a hands free car wash, so over all decent.
Nice place with car wash, vacuum and air. Tim Horton’s inside the station and have enough parking. Friendly staff
busy location, no left turn out of the during the work day hours. I've seen cops enforcing that multiple times
Doesn't matter what day or what time, this place is always busy. Tim hortons not so great at this spot either.
It's ok. Need a huge chunk of change to get something to drink after timmies and local variety stores close
In spite of the construction on Lakeshore, this place is easy to get in and out of, well laid out store.
Really nice station. The Tim's is both counter and drive thru service. Lots of pumps and a good car wash
Terrible car wash. $20 and ended up with a still dirty car and it ripped a protective strip off my car.
You should say that your vacuums are out of service. Drove 15 mins to get here. Waste of time and gas.
Very bad car wash. They barely use any soap, so any decent amount of dirt is left. Cheap ass holes.
Great place for gas and car wash! Don't have much of a queue and always get a discount on car wash
Terrible touchless car wash! Left soap spots all over the vehicle. Don’t waste your money here.
Great to have a vacuum, tire pump, and car wash all in one place. And Tim Hortons drive thru.
They have a touch less car wash, but go early as lines are often 40 minutes to an hour long.
Car wash only takes off surface dirt. Dont make me pay 14$ for a car wash I have do 3 times
Car wash is not very strong . Be caref the vacuums are weak and clogged. Don't use them.
The esso was good, but the Tim Hortons inside of it does not sell ice coffee.
The washroom looks and smells like it was not washed since the station opened
Decent gas station. Has desiel and DEF. Small tim hortons. Always very busy.
It's an esso... could use a faster car wash, but 5 star because it has one!
Always the most expensive gas around, and the vacuum doesn’t work.
They forced me to pay for cash without my permission . …
good station, pricey though, timmies helps car wash too
Great location Friendly staff Great prices on fuel
Nice car wash... I did not buy gas... just a wash.
The car wash will scratch your car. Don't use it.
Always more expensive than anywhere lmao
Regular gas station. Nothing special.
24 hours and good to buy monchis
