Never thought I'd ever leave a review for a gas station, so it's gotta be pretty bad for me to leave review.
Today was probably the sixth and seventh time (two different solicitors) I've been approached at this gas station. They're either asking for gas money or trying to get me to buy a discount phone card or buy chocolates for their fundraiser. One might argue that this is out of the control of the gas station owner, but why does it happen at this place way more often than any other gas station? In the last two years, I split my gas between the Chevron and Shell off the 60 Freeway on Golden Springs in Diamond Bar and this particular Mobil. I have NEVER been solicited at those places, EVER. Maybe if enough people complain, we'll stop seeing these parking lot leeches come back.
Getting solicited twice in one night was enough for me to write a review here, but probably not enough on its own to give this place a one star. But I remember several situations here where I walked away unhappy, other than the situations mentioned already.
It's California law that gas stations must provide you with free air if you buy their gas. I was told to push a button near the doorway to activate the air machine. After pushing the button and going to my car to find that the pump never turned on, I went in to try it again. After the second attempt, I asked the attendant why the machine was not working. I was told, rather rudely that it must be broken and not to use it. Maybe the owners can consider paying their attendants more than minimum wage so that the customer service will be just a tad bit more courteous.
I used their car wash (premium version, $9.99) and was very unsatisfied with the job. Lots of spots where the brushes did not get to. For those of you that want a wash on a budget, drive two miles East towards the 71. When you see the Shoppes on the right, you'll also see a car wash on the left that only charges $9.99 on Wednesdays. So much more worth it. read more
