"Prices are as cheap as the pumps are slow."…read more The pumps are dreadfully slow. It takes far longer than a normal pump--plus, you get to watch those idiotic commercials on the TV pump while you are pumping the gas. However, I did not cooperate. Instead of watching those dumb commercials, I sat in my car with the windows rolled up so I could not hear them. This made me feel like I was getting the better end of the deal. Do you think they deliberately slow down the pumps if they think you're not watching their TV commercials? Next time, I will pay attention to the advertisements, and see if it makes the pumps pump faster. I saved about $5, so overall a pretty good visit. This place can really be a madhouse, so be patient when looking for a spot in line. As I was waiting, a few customers seemed upset that they had to wait. I reminded them they would save about $5 and they instantly cheered up. However, I do not think they were astute enough to avoid those TV commercials. When you go to get back on the highway, it's a little annoying that there is no right turn on red at the main Boulevard. I was a little upset but kept on reminding myself I saved $5. That made me feel better. When I saw the police car a minute later, I also felt good that I had not turned right on red.

One of their workers was on the floor, she's new and is a black female, she decided to get behind the register to assist me and after we were done I heard her manager reprimand her for it. She told her "when I have 2 people working, I only need 1 on register" how is that smart during morning rush times? Why not just thank her for taking the initiative and helping your customers who are on their way to work? I didn't appreciate that. It was rude.

Never again - my car smells like weed because they totally out someone else mat in my Fing Honda…read moreCRV I genuinely don't even know where to start. I get my car detailed monthly, so it's always clean and smells great--this time? The experience was a total fail from start to finish. I went this Saturday, First off, they were out of wax and have stopped offering certain services (RIP to the quality since the cutie left, honestly). After a one-hour wait, I finally got my car back and had to remind them to spray the good-smelling stuff. They did--barely. Then the real nightmare started... The next day, my car smelled HORRIBLE. Like skunk meets spoiled milk. Absolutely disgusting. And no, there's no food in my car, and my kids weren't even in it for days. So this stench? Not me. I have a strong suspicion it's the mats--maybe they're using filthy water or dirty rags, and the smell just rubbed in. Whatever it is, it's burned into my soul because this is not the standard I pay for or expect. Bottom line: Save yourself the headache (and air fresheners). This was my last visit.

Gas prices were good - the nearby Chevron was .30 or .40 more per gallon - usually Chevron doesn't charge extra for credit - so that might be .20 or .30 more... Chevron: 5.09/5.39/5.57 diesel: 5.19 Arco: 4.75/ 4.95/ 5.15 and no diesel that I could find... This is nearby the highschool that Greenday went to - so that is a point of interest for music fans. The gas station was clean and bright and overall I think was fine - I do think its a better idea to pay .34/gallon for Chevron - especially if its a car your going to keep for a while.

I usually refrain from leaving negative reviews unless I've given the business establishment a 2nd…read morechance. I must say the employees here are more than stellar! I'd give them 5 out of 5 stars. However -- the owner is the complete opposite, and is mainly what the 2 star review is for. Background: I've been going to this gas station for the last 8 years, and have spent thousands of dollars using their touchless car wash, with plenty of receipts to show. Issue: Their touchless car wash usually work majority of the time, but anyone reading this, most likely know that their car wash machine will exhibit a malfunction every now and then. The issues often vary like, low water pressure, no soap, no air dryer, no pressure wash at entry. As most folks know, malfunctions are normal with any automated machinery, and that's okay -- it's not the end of the world. The employees here understand that the car wash will break from normal operation, and they do their very best to try to fix things. I appreciate that they actually take the time to observe and troubleshoot. Given that they recognize me as a regular patron, they understand that something is wrong when I raise any issues to them. Kudos to the staff for having the common sense of understanding technology and machinery. The issue I have is mainly with the owner of the business. He seems to be the type of person who's never been wrong in his life, and his natural instinct is to have a condescending defensive reaction. For the 2nd time in the last 2 months, I've been told to go somewhere else instead of acknowledging that the car wash machine isn't perfect. His main resolution is to offer a refund rather than rectify. An offer for a refund is certainly not a bad thing, but also not the best way to handle the situation. He is always adamant that his car wash indicator at the register isn't showing any errors, so everything must be working well... Being in the Software Engineering space specializing in troubleshooting and diagnostics, I would love to teach the business owner some basic logic, but this would be somewhat pointless for someone who always feels they're right. I normally purchase batches of 2-3 Premium washes, which was previously priced at $12, and was later increased to $14. The price increase didn't stop me from continuing to support this local business. Yet, the owner has the audacity to claim he loses money every time I report a car wash malfunction. With his wish for me to take my business somewhere else, I will gladly comply this time around, but here's a nice review for others to see before I go.

Wow there's nothing I can say to give this place the justice it needs. Very underrated!…read more Great pricing on everything, they have a slurpy machine hot dog machine, and nachos ! So many things here to choose from between a quick snack or tobacco products they've got you covered. Have been coming here for 20+ years never once in that time have the main people made me feel weird. They are amazing people and would give you the shirt off their back to keep you warm that's just the type of people they are. If they weren't nice to you it definitely was you and not them not to be rude , but you had to have done something for them to be rude. They are hands down one of the best shops around. Thanks for always being amazing! Thanks for reading ! Hope this helps !

I've driven through San Pablo probably hundreds of times, so how did I miss this gas station?! And…read moreI'll be honest: I always thought the Pump House was THE bargain spot for fuel, but this place is, by far, much better - by at least 20cents/gallon! Naturally, I came by and filled up the tank! Such a bargain compared to the big names not so far from here (you know... Shell, Safeway, etc...) So, yeah. In the midst of fuel prices shooting up and up and up, if you find yourself within a 2 to 5 mile radius, this is the place to gas up! Yeah, a little further from home, but the savings is absolutely worth it! They are now on my radar... my new go-to for fuel! So happy for the find!

However, ever since the "Earnify" app was introduced, we have already encountered a few disrespectful cashiers and staff here. There were a few instances where we showed our barcode on the app (to scan for points), the cashier said it was too late since he had already printed out the receipt. We literally had the phone in hand and ready to scan/told them we had a barcode for the app. He later cancelled the transaction and redid it after we reasoned with him that we've had no trouble using the app countless times. The most recent incident from a few days ago didnt sit well with us. Like usual, we went in to pay and scan the app. We had redeemed an 800 point reward for this tank of gas and paid $100- not only did we not get to use it, we didnt even earn points for this transaction! Went back in to confront him, but he was rude and disrespectful. Shame on you.
