Valero Pay-At-The-Pump is unreliable at this station. Sure, not many drivers care about gas station reviews on Yelp. Everyone only cares about the price of a gallon of gas. But here's the thing, to get in and out quick, pay at the pump has to work. The other night I was coming down Kirker Pass (westbound) and I see this Valero station. I pull in to Pump #1 with the intent to grab a few gallons and takeoff. Pump #1 didn't accept a Valero gas card. So I went inside where there were other drivers with the same problem. While I was waiting, I went to use the "all gender" restroom. It was pretty clean, maybe a "7" on a scale of 1-10. Then I speak to the cashier about my problem at Pump #1. My card worked fine, and I purchased $40 worth. The gentleman didn't say thank you, nor did he smile. In fact, he had this unpleasant look on his face. I went outside and discovered Valero gave me a 10-cent discount per gallon. I used it on Regular which was at $5.49/gal. Okay, this was last Thursday, and $5.49/gal wasn't cheap. I just checked, the price is still at $5.49. However, this Valero has a prime location at Clayton Rd & Kirker Pass Rd. That's why everything is so high, it's at the bottom of Kirker Pass Rd if you're going west. Oh, for you non-locals, Kirker Pass Road is an inter-regional route between Central and East Contra Costa County. Lots of drivers use this road to bypass major traffic congestion on Highway 4. FYI- experienced drivers only! You will drive up and over a mountain. Enjoy the scenery! Misc notes: - 1 pump per island - 2 restrooms read more

Do not use this station!! Gas pumps are always out of service. Had to go into the store pre-pay and they put a $200 charge against my credit card, and I only used $150. They told me that I would get a "credit" back on the overage amount. Haven't seen it yet. I am going to dispute the total charge. Shady business. You would think that they would have their act together given their prime location. read more

This gas station generally has competitive prices. The main downside is, it seems like there are always multiple pumps broken or issues with the pay at the pump at this station. I had to move my truck three times today to finally get fuel. The layout of the gas station is not particularly convenient either. read more

Do NOT come to this Valero! Multiple pumps were not working. I tried paying both with my Valero app and with a regular debit card on 3 separate pumps, but none of them were working. While I was there, multiple other people pulled up and drove away in frustration, just like I did. This happened on 12/15/23, so things must not have changed in quite some time. Gas here also claimed to be $4.29 a gallon, but when I pulled up to the machines, it was actually $4.39. Still a good deal, but it's scummy that they don't change their signs to actually match with the real price. Also, it didn't matter anyways since none of the pumps worked! The person working inside the gas station just looked at everyone and didn't seem to care about everyone's frustrations. A sign would've been nice. read more

I pumped on pump 4. It pumped more gas than my car can't even take. They are ripping people off. Do not go to this gas station.

WARNING: I know nobody checks Yelp on gas station reviews. It's all about who displays the cheapest gas prices. However, this review needs to be said. I wanted to put a couple gallons of gas in the tank before I was going to fill ip in Safeway at Antioch later that night. So I paid cash got two gallons and when I drove off noticed my miles range to empty hadn't changed. I made a U-turn and asked the manager "Apu" to check the pump on 3 and he quickly dismissed me. He told me gas prices are high and other people have complained, so next time get my gas somewhere else. Im certain that was the only brilliant thing he's said all day. Now either the gas pump wasn't working like the others have said, and they neglected to inspect the pump; Or they are purposely scamming customers. Either way they have lost me and I will take their advice by taking my business elsewhere. read more

Here is the thing. My expectations are always on the lower side when it comes to gas stations in general. But this one stood out for me, not once but for over a year now of being their loyal customer. Here is why. Location: Busy place. Clean. Easily accessible & easy to get in & out quick, if in rush. Gas price: Competitive market price. Always cheaper than Shell across the street. Free air service is a bonus. Products: Always fully stocked & organized. Wide variety of drinks, fresh coffee, snacks, fresh soda, gums, candies...you name it. They got it all. You will also find a lot more interesting products that I bet you won't see at that many stations. Yes, they got lotto too. Employees: Friendly & attentive. Rex, the manager is super duper nice, polite and very helpful. Restroom: YESSS. Super clean, sufficient supplies & they will allow you to use it w/o any drama. Parking: Enough. Never had a problem finding one. read more

Great Valero station. New C-Store brand called DoubleTime with great promotion excellent friendly staff. Bathrooms are always clean. Pumps are sanitary as well. Cheap gas prices. read more

This is a very convenient gas station for us and we used to fill up here at least twice a week. Prices were a few cents higher, but I don't mind paying a little bit for extra convenience. But the station has since adopted a "what the market will bear" pricing policy for their gas. As I write, they're $.14 a gallon higher than stations 2 miles away. You can now count on one hand the times we go there in a full year. Too expensive for my blood. read more

The pump #3 was pumping very slowly. So slowly the auto shutoff did not work and gas spilled all over my car. I told the attendant about and suggested he shut down the pump or put up a sign it's pumping slowly. All he said was "I told the boss earlier". He refused to shut it down or put up sign. I will never go to Valero in Clayton again. read more

Great location! The gas station is clean and the staff is super friendly. Good assortment of snacks, beverages and lunch option. read more

The old guy in the front always looks like he hates life. He wants to be somewhere else. Hes in a horrible mood. But I would be willing to ignore that because I just want to come buy my stuff and leave but I come by on a Sunday 930pm and they tell me they're closed. Thats ridiculous. read more

Standard Valero. When you go in, the clerk will be sitting behind the counter, off to the side, snacking and reading a magazine. That's where they are every time I go here. Best quality: easy to get in and out of. read more

Lance is amazing I forgot my wallet at home and he saved me from being stranded. He offered to help me out by putting enough gas in my tank to get me home. Not many people would do that. He's proof that there are still good people out there. Thanks again Lance. read more

I'm pretty down with this Valero. It's the closest gas station to me house, so I can't even say how many times I've been saved by it. Last night I went there to buy a water when I didn't want to wait in that long post 10 pm line at Safeway. The coolest thing about this valero is the bullet proof glass that appears to have been shot and has shattered into this really cool pattern. Also, I will always kinda love this place because they sold us 40s when I was in high school. read more

I try to avoid Valero if I can, but when was in a rush I stopped by. It is also close to home so it wasn't a hard choice, and the shell across the street is overpriced. The only downside is if traffic is bad it takes a while to get out. The station doesn't have much space so if you have a trailer you would have a problem possibly getting around. read more

I don't go here a lot but every time I do.....the people inside are nice and friendly. The place is always clean and the gas prices are decent. read more

Normally no problem but it's a little creepy when the man behind the counter is wearing a big puffy black jacket, a hat and sunglasses. Don't you guys have some sort of uniform standard? They don't look like glasses for a medical problem either. It's very disconcerting when trying to make a purchase. read more

My baby desperately needed some food so it was either Shell or Valero. Thinking of what I would do if I was back home in sf... VALERO of course, why would I have any second thoughts about it?? For $3.93/gal I couldn't complain. read more
