No frills, your regular gas station. Cute store, wooden decor, lots of touristy pamphlets and maps in front of it, a decent display!

Been driving up and down the 395 for years going to Mammoth. Finally decided to stop here to gas…read moreup for the drive home. Of all the days I choose to stop, today was not it. First off, there's only about 8 pumps that will pump out Diesel, 87, 89 & 91. All pumps were taken when I drove up and I probably was waiting a good 10-15 minutes waiting for a pump to open up. I was wondering why it was taking so long and I attributed to the 2 large SUV's that were pumping. When I it was finally my turn, I noticed that they don't have tap to pay at the pump. You will either have to pay inside with the cashier or insert your card. With all of the credit card skimmer stories popping up over the past few years, I didn't feel comfortable having to insert my card. But I made sure to use a credit card just in case. After I made my payment and selected the octane, 1 minute in to pumping, I noticed how slow it was dispensing gas. So I asked the other folks that were pumping around me and they were having the same issue. Looks like this place needs to replace their filters or something to increase the flow. The only reason why I chose to stop here is that it's the cheapest gas you are going to find anywhere along the 395. 87 was $4.25 while the Vons gas station in Bishop was $4.59. Usually, the gas station isn't 100% taken from what I've noticed in the past, but since this is a long weekend, it was a bad call to come 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.
