I can't really speak to the other services offered by the Car Care Center on Schofield Barracks, but I do have some beef with the gas station attached to it. I've gotten gas here plenty of times, and it's consistently a hassle. Why do I keep coming back? Because I don't want to run out of gas and it's conveniently located.
The good? Gas is cheaper here than at Tesoro or other gas stations on the island. But of course it's going to be cheaper, because it's on base! Where is it, exactly? If you go in the Foote Gate of Schofield Barracks (just off Kunia Rd), make your first left and you can't miss it. Plus, you can get free junk food if you purchase 8 or more gallons of gas.
The bad? Half the pumps here are broken. There's nothing worse than committing to the lane (always a wait) just to find that only one pump works. If you're really lucky (like me!) not only will you be in the one pump lane, you'll have that person in front of you who parks their car at the pump. Not getting gas, mind you. Just doing their weekly grocery shopping in the quickie mart, while you wait for that precious space. Who are these people? Have they no couth? It's the rudest thing in the world. Seriously, how about you pump your gas first, then pull forward to the copious parking spots outside the quickie mart?
I know this happens at other gas stations, but nowhere more than this one! Am I overreacting? read more
