It declined my card so I walked into the store very upset because I was in a hurry. The guy behind the counter Chuck, greeted me with a smile and said good morning. I admit that I wasn't exactly friendly, in fact I was quite rude by ignoring his good morning greeting and slamming my card on the counter demanding he give me a fill up. Chuck was kind and courteous. He acted like he didn't even hear my rude outburst. He looked me in the eyes and smiled saying he could fix the issue quickly. I was especially taken aback when he even signed me up to get 25 cents off a gallon. He got it done so quickly, efficiently, and with a positive attitude that I felt like I was actually seen and heard. Such service is rare. I rarely, if ever make a review. But I wanted to acknowledge Chuck and his top tier service. If you're reading this Chuck I just want to say thank you. You made my last Tuesday. The service you provided is unlike any Chevron I've ever been to. Cheers! -Willow Reeves

Whereas I used to stop in out of shear necessity, I now watch my gas dial and pump my gas elsewhere.

I live in oakland so they have repaired at least 3 tires with nails in them. Most recently, I got a nail in the sidewall of my tire. The Tire needed replacing no way it could be repaired. Orinda tires got the exact tire replacement shipped to them same day and on a Monday no less. I have a plug in hybrid Volvo, it requires special tires. I called orinda tires at 10:30 am, they ordered the tire and had it at the shop by 12:30 My tire was mounted, installed, balanced and calibrated by 2:30. Extremely fast! Super efficient! They got me on my way faster than the actual dealership could. And at a very good price. There's a cozy Pete's coffee to wait in near by too which is definitely a plus. Orinda tires is the best!

Afterwards I called my usual mechanic, who said it would have cost $300, and the dealer, who quoted me $600. The staff at Orinda Motors were not sympathetic, saying that they charge extremely high labor ($260 / hr) because they can. They also inflate the bill by working slowly and doing unnecessary diagnostic work. What concerns me most is that I left feeling taken advantage of.

Service: Came here a few months ago while the pandemic was still going strong. Was told everyone was wearing masks and were socially distancing.

Now that protocols have changed I may go back but in terms of following the Covid safety rules I've been to much better. Area: In a crowded gas station in Orinda, parking can be hard to find but not terrible.
