When you're towing a trailer and running low on gas, nothing sucks worse than a busy gas station…read morewith hairpin turns on small lots. This gas station has none of that-- plenty of space to navigate for even the most asinine motorists who couldn't navigate an empty parking lot in a Ford Festiva... The gas station bears the rural "you need it/we got it" mark up, but really, you're only going to drop an extra 20¢ a gallon here, compared to station prices from Lone Pine to Bishop. This is also your last stop heading south for a while, so clean restrooms and the usual gas station mini-mart fare are found here. Across the street from a popular jerky joint with a cult-following, we duck in here on almost every trip to the Eastern Sierras. Might as well stop in, especially if you're southbound.

Honestly the selection here is impressive, you've got just about everything you need to stock your RV or vacation cabin, and at prices that aren't bad. For context we geared lack of selection up here and bought our groceries in Visalia, where's there's not a "regular" grocery store. We could have saved time and just shopped here. Even for the beer and wine. We went a few times and everyone was really nice, helps to live in a beautiful place!

In a part of the world where gas was more than $6 per gallon, Memorial Day, 2026, I looked for any price break I could find. There's also a small Tribal casino here.

When you gotta go, you gotta go I guess... But in fairness to the owners and employees, this is a gas station/convenience store... Not a public restroom facility. In sleepy little Independence, I have to imagine this place relies on mostly weary travelers stopping in for gasoline, a couple of sodas, a bag of snacks to make a living. Whether there is a sign or not, it's kind of courteous to scrape under the seats for a little bit of change, and buy a pack of gum or a Coke or something. Wish the proprietor a very nice rest of the day, kind of thing. As far as the guy behind the counter being rude, I sure cannot condone that either. You may have heard the expression, "the customer is always right"?... Well that ain't true, but the customer is still and always the customer. As a business owner, if you smile and nod at that guy that just went in and use $.50 with the toilet paper and paper towels, and did not buy anything... This time... They're probably more likely to stop in here on the downhill trip and buy something. Act like a troll to a potential future customer? They will not ever be one. Just saying... Anyway, we stopped here on the way home from Lake Crowley, to top off the tank on a very busy southbound 395 post-July 4 weekend drive. We bought a couple of bottles of soda, and a pack of jerky. No more expensive than just about any other gas station I've been to. My kids used the heck out of the bathroom, too. The fellow behind the counter was not saccharine sweet or anything, but cordial. Funny thing about the small-town business folk: they respond awfully well to common courtesy with a dash of kindness. Come to think of it, most people do. I also appreciated the relatively large parking lot and plenty of room to turn around with a small trailer. Some of the gas stations in towns up and down the 395 don'tfeature as much space. So that's a plus.

Don't go here to get gas ever!!! 2/21/20 10:15 pm…read moreI've never been to a gas station where I've had such issues. I entered my Vons number to get my discount per gallon as I always do, and then put my card in and entered the area code. Then I clicked the gas I wanted and placed the nozzle into the car only for the screen to display the message "replace nozzle and see cashier". What does that even mean? I went in and asked the guy and he had no idea what I was talking about. He came out and canceled my transaction. He "took care of it" I filled my car and he told me to come in and pay. So I did only for him to tell me my card has been declined. I just used it a couple of hours prior. So now I'm mad and confused. The other person in the car paid for the gas and realized we never got the Vons discount! That irritates me because I told the guy about the Vons discount and he said "he put it in". Which now talking to the other person about how much she paid we didn't get it. I called customer service regarding my card and it was cancelled. I'm not sure what happened but I am confused. I've driven this highway hundreds of times and I've never had that issue before. I'm not happy that this happened and it all comes down to this gas station for the "replace nozzle see cashier" message on the display. That's were it all went down. The guy at the front was hard to understand and couldn't discuss much with him which also complicated things. Never stopping at this chevron again.

Sobif they can remove signs before closing that would be great. We had our fun in the sun and my boys and I stopped here to have something to eat. They offer free Wi-Fi. The restroom had giant mosquitoes and looked dirty. Customer service wasn't the best either. After ordering my food I didn't know because this was my first time here, but the chips that come with a meal will be located to your left, and if you order a drink you pick up your own cup on the left side of the soda machine. I say this to you because it wasn't told to me and after receiving my food I had to get up and grab it myself. The food was not good good but it wasn't horrible, with that being said I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and asked for EASY CHEESE and got so much cheese. The chicken was like shredded and cooked in something because it wasn't just basic plain shredded chicken. The blt was ordered for my son who said the bread tasted gross and sandwich had no flavor. Now how the heck can anyone mess up a basic blt‍. I ordered basic hamburger. Lettuce and tomato were great, it had too much special sauce and the meat was just meat. Their potato salad is actually some of the best I've ever had but the macaroni salad now if you like food that you can chew with no flavor then I highly suggest ordering the mac salad lol. There's a first for everything and also a last and this location was definitely that for us. Why did we eat the food? Well we used a lot of energy and needed to refuel our body, plus I hate wasting money so I was not about to throw the food away.
