    Slow and Hard to read.

    Pumps have been updated and are now modern setups. Mini mart has lots of goodies for your ride back to simi valley.

    The place is looking worse for wear. The only reason this gets two stars is for the nice hard working people in the store.

    The two gentlemen that are there evenings are the sweetest. Glad they have better customer service now. So I can come back to this shell:)

    Decent station. They're nice enough here, and convenient to Vons and the other stores. You don't even have to leave the parking lot!

    BEWARE!!! I went in on Sunday to pump gas and get a few snacks. I had a $100 bill and right off the…read morebat the rude lady at the counter asked if I was going to pay with the $100 bill, In my mind I was like 'nah I'm just holding it so someone can steal it out of my hand' I said yes but I'm getting $50 of gas so you should have change. She proceeds to charge me. The total was $71 and some change. Next thing you know she pushed buttons and really fast the total changed to $79 and some change. I usually don't get my receipt and this time when she asked if I wanted it I said yes. When she went to reprint it the receipt was for a voided $8 transaction. She reprinted my receipt and sure enough there was a charge for $7.99 for a phone charger I had not purchased. I asked her why did you charge me for this phone charger and she played stupid. She got nervous and just handed over the $8. I believe she overcharged me then voided the transaction and was going to keep that $8. It's not much but if she does that say 10 times a day she's stealing about $80 a day. Be careful and check your receipts if your are paying inside. I definitely will be more careful when paying here.

    Literally so offended. The short stack behind the counter saw me pull out dollar bills to pay for…read moremy gas. Then he told me he had to put them through a machine to check if they were real. WHAT!? I've never had that done to me before. Now I'm late for school (CSUN) because I had to stop & write this.

    The gas is $.20-.80/gallon MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ALL OF THE SURROUNDING GAS STATIONS. For some reason…read moreI've been equating Valero to "cheap" but it's not true. I filled up here 1-2 times a week on my way to work. What was I thinking! Also, I just watched the gas attendant harass a lady here this week. She had a flat and the attendant told her to move from the side area where no one was at to the air/water area. Her tire was visibly torn, so air was not the issue. It just looked like the attendant wanted to make this lady's day worse. I can't get behind bad people and bad business. Go to the Chevron right next to the freeway, it's actually less expensive and the attendants don't bother you. Oh, and never buy a car wash here. It "broke" right after I paid for a wash.

    So this is my go-to for a quick car wash, back in the days the car wash would only cost $3 and so…read moreyou would see a line grow, however, prices have changed since then, but that has not stopped me from coming back. It is a drive for me, however, I am very familiar with this gas station and so I just prefer coming back here. I always purchase the $12 car wash it's decent and saves me time and some money while avoiding to take it to those car washes that detail everything. Quality wise, it can be a hit or miss, for the most part, it does a decent job for my jeep. Gas here is also a hit or miss, since it's near by the 405, the prices can be competitive. I hardly pump gas here, if I do, it's because I'm low or too lazy to drive across town to my preferred gas station. I have not experienced any negative vibes here, just be aware of your surroundings since it is in a sketchy area and sometimes homeless people are across the gas station.
