1st Car Wash before Reno on I-80 west

HI. The last time we rented a car to get to BM from the airport, we magically found a super quick on/off the I-80 west freeway gas station with a car wash and mini mart - still in the middle of nowhere and definitely before Sparks/Reno, but super close to civilization.

Does anyone remember where this gas station is? I don't want to miss it this year either!

Thanks.

Unless you went to a car wash in Fernley, the only place I can think of is the Quik Stop on Vista Blvd in Sparks. Going west on I80 exit Vista and turn right. A few hunderd yards is a traffic light and it'll be in front of you on your right. It's a drive thru type car wash and mini mart/gas station. It's the first exit when you enter Sparks from the east. From Wadsworth to Sparks there is nothing but the Truckee river.
