I had a wonderful experience at this Costco gas station this morning I arrived very early and they let you in 15 minutes before they actually open. So there was only one car in front of me. You can never go wrong at a Costco gas station when you're a member. It's bright, safe and overall the best experience for a gas station. They have indicator if a pumping station is open and a lot of room to get in between cars. You can always get a receipt after filling up your car, never once did I experience where my receipt didn't print. There no bathroom here or snacks here so be aware of that. This is basically just to fill up your car with gas. If you come later in the day then expect a line and wait. They also don't police like if someone cut in line that much like at any location but I think for the most part, people don't cut each other off. They also don't take cash so it's card only read more

A decent gas station in Costco standards. The lines are always long besides when they open and are about to close. When the line gets long, the traffic backs up into the intersection, which people commonly clog up. Nothing to complain about pricing-wise or service, the employees are always kind and willing to help. There are trashcans alongside some pumps. Wish that the employees would do some traffic control during busier hours though! People will wait for "easier" pumps to be available because they don't want to parallel park, which makes the traffic congestion worse! This would help with the intersection not clogging up as well... If you don't mind the dirty stares, you can bypass the intersection congestion by pulling through the McDonald's "cut" into line. read more

I like the early opening hours and the line goes pretty fast. If I lived a little closer, will definitely be a regular customer here.

Loving the new hours! Open at 4:30am. Can't be mad at cheap gas. Be sure to get that Costco Citi Card to take full advantage of all the gas savings. I stopped by before 5:30am and there were only 2 cars getting gas. I was able to swiftly get in and out in a matter of minutes. Thanks Costco! read more

They need a more controlled preventing people from coming in the exit. This woman came in and almost caused an accident. Other than that everything is great. Love Costco keeping. Prices low. read more

I think this is the first gas station we have ever reviewed- and it's nice to be able to say an old quote, "service with a smile" - which was true for this young man who seems to be everywhere at once! His name is "John" and today when asked if he could help with our gas card, he was "Johnny on the spot." It's great when we are reminded of a time when folks really did want to be of service. read more

Costco Gas - LIterally , here is "Johnny on the spot!" - You can recognize John by his bright sunglasses and even brighter smile. - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Located in Mission Valley; 2345 Fenton parkway, San Diego, CA 92108. This location is very very busy; I try to go before 7am because the gas line wraps around the block. Decent prices for Costco members. I believe they open at 0530; they have attendant around to help in case you need them. It's right behind McDonalds. I like that they have neon sign on top of the gas pump to let you know if the spot is free or occupied. Usually green for a free spot or red for being occupied. Thanks for reading my review, have a fantastic day! read more

My go to gas station since I live close by. Best times to go are early morning and late evening. Lines are crazy during business hours. No issues with car using regular. Fast tap and pay using the Costco Citi credit card and you get 5 percent back. read more

Gas prices in California in general make me puke myself, so getting gas at Costco is like only getting slightly queasy. 10/10

This Costco Gas is normally super packed. We happened to stop by here on a Tuesday night around 8p and it was very convenient. There were empty lanes and no lines longer than 1-3 cars. The premium gas here is $4.99 per 9/10 gallon, which is $.70 less per gallon than what I have been paying at other places around town. Membership definitely has its privileges! I highly recommend coming here on a weeknight vs the weekends or lunch times, less crowded and convenient. read more

COSCTO GAS, MISSION VALLEY! This costco gas is always super helpful, extremely easy to locate and go through. The people there are always nice if you need any help, the gas is cheap ranging from Regular $4.26. I'd highly recommend going through the week days and never on the weekends. Sundays are the worst for gas days where there's an intersection to get on the right furthest lane for gas, and there's two lanes to enter, making it super slow, and wasted time sitting in traffic. Other than that, the price is good, parking is easy if you go around Costco, and it's always clean, and easy to navigate through lines. read more

I'm here for AFFORDABLE GAS but the waiting time is crazy! I appreciate three pumps per row but you need to either go when they open 4:30-6am timeframe or when they close 7:30-10pm timeframe or else you will be waiting at the light. Also I got lost yesterday because Costco Gas is behind the McDonald's. Make sure to go up the ramp! If you have time go because $4.30 is the best deal in this economy period. read more

We came to fill up at Costco as it is the cheapest in the area and best quality. The only gas we ever use is Costco and Chevron. The gas was $4.39 today, which is great compared to the other gas stations around us. I feel like Costco gas also last a while too. We got there and only had 2 people waiting in front of us, the line went by pretty fast. They had it very well organized and no one was blocking, so it made it easier to get inside the gas lot. read more

This is probably the worst Costco gasoline station from a traffic flow standpoint. The queue to get into the station backs up onto Friars Road, and it blocks a driveway for a McDonald's. I avoid this station. read more

We were out running errands and we try to always fill up with gas at Costco. As always, there's always a line for gas! Every once in a while, I have been able to get in and out with no lines. With long lines, I can appreciate the lines does move along fairly quickly. Overall, a great place to fill up with a lower competitive price point. An even better price with the Costco Citibank Business Executive card. The points add up to a sweet money back each year!! read more

In my opinion, I think Mission Valley's Costco line for gas is organized to make it easier to get in and out of the gas fueling pumps/stations. There's ONE destination line just for refueling! Costo's lines for gas in Rancho Del Rey are AWFUL!! At Rancho Del Rey, cars are trying to "pass" the Costco lines the same time cars are trying to turn into the gas lines can be so hectic !! read more

Costco Gas - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Between all the Costco gas stations that I've visited, this location is one of the better ones. From the street to the entrance, there's a large piece of road for the queue either to the gas station or into Costco directly. Traffic flow in one direction into the gas station - efficiency definitely checked off! However, the space itself comes off as rather small, and I can imagine that at peak hours getting in can be a hassle. It's quite a tight turn, and it cannot accommodate too large a line of cars. read more

Great Costco location in mission valley. Easy parking, always cheaper than most other locations in San Diego

Good quality gas, but what a cluster of a traffic flow! Someone really screwed up on this one!

November 3rd visit Review #40 of 2024 Getting into this Costco gas station is worse than pulling teeth. In order to access the entrance, you have to go up a ramp, through a business driveway, back on the street and then into an extremely narrow entrance for a wide right U turn just to access a pump. This spot was badly engineered and only visited out of need for fuel, and not a want. read more

Best price in town and very little wait most of the time. They have 10 lanes each have 2 to 3 pumps

Best gasoline prices in San Diego... I believe that in every city, Costco has the lowest gasoline prices. My initial plan was to fill up at the Carlsbad location - on my way to LA in the afternoon. During dinner with fellow Yelp Elites, Ryan and Emmett, they advised me to go before closing time, but after the main Costco store closes. Smart thinking! The line will be shorter at night! Why wait in a long line in the afternoon heat? These guys are akamai!!! We were having dinner near this particular location, so I drove over (after cruising Fashion Valley Mall). There are many pumps... I would guess that there are about twenty? The lines moved quickly! I was done in a minute! Thanks, Emmett and Ryan for the sound advice! I'll remember that for future visits! read more

Costco Gas - Long line - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Costco usually has the best price for gas but I'm surprised that even their prices differ with different locations. For example, I paid $4.55 at Fenton Parkway versus $4.29 in Chula Vista only 2 days apart. This particular Costco Gas has a terrible layout. If it is busy, you could be a part of the backup on Friars Road just to get in. Then once you do get to the pumps, there aren't very many pumps. Finally when you leave you're competing with regular Costco traffic and Lowes and Ikea. Anyways, best to come to this one off hours. read more

I like that I don't have to use my member card per se but my electronic card can now be used! It's also convenient to have the service attendant are alway pleasant and willing to help if you can locate them! Having one more around would be great! But be careful what I say, that would increase the prices ,no doubt read more

Coming from the 15 freeway it will be a left turn into the center and then you'll need to be in the right lane to turn right into the gas station. If you are coming from the opposite side on friars road you'll have a better chance at getting in faster as it's a right turn in. You need an active membership and a Visa credit card. They do not take other credit cards or cash. But you can use a debit card. They always have the lowest gas prices. The best time to visit is before the Costco warehouse opens. Don't forget the pump is long enough so that you can pump gas on either side of you car. read more

I have been a Costco member for years and now that we can buy gasoline at Costco is super exciting. Great price and it always lower price than the average going rate in the county. Don't get me wrong just because it is inexpensive it doesn't mean that the gas is of a lower quality. I drive a vehicle that takes me from point A to point B and I really don't require the "higher quality" gas. Oh they do sell diesel and higher octane gas just in case you need that. I do love that there are many pumps and have you seen the newest addition?... the pump indicator if the pump is empty or being used. As you know if you are behind a larger vehicle it is sometimes difficult to see it the pumps ahead of you are occupied... Green pump available and Red pump means occupied. Another cool thing about Costco gas stations are the hoses. You don't have to wait for the right or left hose specific pumps as the hoses are super long that it reach both sides of your vehicle. What else can I say but it's worth the wait even if there is a line. read more

Ummm, honestly all Costco need a revamping. People have no common descensy or courtesy anymore. The intersection is packed and I had a lot of driving the past few days and been meaning to hit up another gas station and knew there was a reason I always avoid this one. IT IS HORRIBLE! The price is higher, not sure if it is because of location or its the weekend but I feel like Costco pricing should be universal all around especially in San Diego County at least. That is the purpose of the member, to enjoy the savings regardless of which location I shop that pricing is standard. (I mean different states I get but we have quite a few in San Diego County they should be universal). While this location has 3 pumps per station, there is a handful of rows, but just not enough for the volume of this location as it is always busy. I literally waited for 5 light changes before I could barely make it out of the intersection and into the line I went. Very fearful I was wasting my reserve just waiting to get gas. At least cars are not piling up blocking the lanes and you can pull towards the curb more. read more

Wow, it's Costco, with Gas! This location has possibly the largest gas station that I've seen at Costco, and as such, it's popular but the lines, while long, go fairly quickly. This isn't my normal Costco gas, but I do stop by here if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

August Stop 11 It is your standard Costco Gas Station. It is on the side of the larger Costco Warehouse, so the line actually tends to form into the street. Came on a Saturday around noon and while the line was long it moves fairly quickly. Be sure to have a Costco membership and a Visa card or you won't be able to get any gas! Prices are some of the cheapest in town! read more

Not much to say here about this Costco gas Station other than fairly reliable when it comes to generally less expensive gas. I drive a lot, so always searching for lower prices. Costco is amongst the lowest. This location tends to be fairly busy constantly. The line tends to stretch a good ways out to Friars Rd. Today they had attendants guiding traffic info the farther lanes in the station to help expedite the process. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

So here's the deal: 1. Get the Costco Visa card. The cash back on gas is key. 2. Be sure not to block the intersection when trying to get in line. I see so many cars turning left into the line and getting stuck mid intersection! 3. Best time to go- Saturday morning. Typically zero line and bonus: while you're pumping gas, you get to smell the fresh muffins baking! 4. Go to the pumps farthest to the right. The ones on the left only have two pumps and move much slower- even if the lines are shorter. Honestly, the lines at this location move really fast. They've always got an attendant moving the line along and motioning people to move in. read more

Yes, Costco Gas, one of the primary reasons I have a Costco membership. Expressed succinctly: it's top tier gasoline that's always significantly cheaper than competitors. It's true that this location can get busy with traffic overflowing into the road. But there's three pumps per column so things usually keep on moving (I don't recall ever having to wait more than 10 minutes). Plus, don't forget that the long hoses can pump gas to either side of your car, so look for the first available pump. For shortest waits, come in the morning (they open at 5:30AM) or in the late evening (they're open til 9:30pm). Enjoy! read more

Costco Gas is usually the most affordable option, and it's great to have a location close to home. The reason for the -1 star is the traffic. It's a bit of a cluster upon entering from all directions, and most times - it's packed. Pro Tip: Get gas during off peak hours. The associates managing the traffic are terrific - efficient and hard working. I love that they installed electric signs indicating which pumps are available. The gas lines are extra long so you can gas up your car from either side. There are trash cans to dump your rubbish as you tidy up your car while waiting for your gas to pump. I'm not sure about COVID-19 guidelines here... as I haven't really noticed any sanitizing between fills or even... periodically? That would be great if they started that. Anyway - wear a mask, and perhaps, bring some gloves to stay safe! Yelp 2021 Challenge: 03/40 read more

Don't know why every time I put Costco gas in my car, the engine it sounds like it rattles and has no acceleration power. Different response with Sam's Club gas read more

So grateful to Costco for this gas station. Sure at peak times there may be a line, everyone wants a lower gas price. However, the lines move quickly and orderly and there's always an attendant if needed. The prices can't be beat, plus we get money back at the end of the year, now that's a deal. Thank you Costco! read more

Costco Gas - Lots of open pumps when you get here early! - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

If you're not a Costco member, did you know that the money you save by fueling up at their gas stations will probably more than cover the price of your membership? The gas is Top Tier, which Consumer Reports says is actually worth paying more for: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-maintenance/study-shows-top-tier-gasoline-worth-extra-price/ Do yourself and your car a favor and join Costco. If you already are a member, did you know that this location features LED displays above the islands that show where there are vacant pumps? One more reason to think Costco first. COVID-19 alert: the attendant sanitized the pump that I used as I was pulling up. Of course, it's a good practice to wash your hands inside the Costco warehouse after you fill up at the gas station. See you in line! read more
