I have been coming here for a long time and the family who owns it is really nice & friendly & helpful! Recently on Yelp, they popped up when I was looking for somebody who could help me do a recertification on my rv propane tanks, as well as fill them - it was a weekend & they were able to do that too! SCORE! The older gentleman who did the recert and filled my tanks also taught me something about how to measure the levels bc the gauges are often wrong. Super rad - always appreciate helpful tips. They also often have the least expensive gas & diesel prices. Have been coming here 18+ years between trips off the hill, I live in Tahoe. I will continue to come here - Thank You! read more

I wrote the last review of this Pacific Gasoline station a little less than a year ago, and didn't give it much thought afterwards. Growing up, my Father and Grandfather owned and operated an APCO station in Estherville, Iowa, hence my tendency to review every gas station I come across. Gasoline is a commodity, so things like price, clean restrooms (as applicable), and convenience are my key interests in what is usually an unremarkable customer experience. Hence, a 3 Star "A-OK" rating is the most common. That's what this Pacific Gasoline Station received then and right now. I have filled up several times since the review, and what I wrote remains true today. So yesterday, I'm attending a Genoa Western Heritage Day event, look at my phone, and see that a comment had been added to my review. I've pasted it in below, and I'll have to say that it's rare to be personally attacked that way for a middle-of-the-road "A-OK" review. Looking at similar (and lower) Yelp reviews, it appears that I'm not the only one in this "owner's" crosshairs, who might not take such realistic comments well. Since this is a self-serve station and he/she isn't normally around to police customer experiences, I'll be sending knowing smiles and optimism his/her way every time I fill up. SMH. "Our business does not cater to the entitlement that you clearly displayed here in your review. Being a customer does not give you a right to patronize businesses because your ego has less than accommodating expectations. All businesses should be vigilant towards narcissistic customers like you. Thank you for saving our customers from the grief you carry around with you by passing on by." read more

We went here because it had the lowest prices around. So if you like that it's a plus. BEWARE THOUGH IT IS A 150 MINIMUM CREDIT PULL IF YOU PAY AT THE PUMP and this place for some insane reason is closed at 6:00 pm on a Thursday. I appreciate a deal but we couldn't even fucking pump the gas after the 150$ they pulled from my debit account after waiting for a different pump and getting zilch. Go somewhere else if you're actually trying to get a deal and pay cash. read more

Nice little place for gas.. Clean... ran card at punp so didn't need to go in.. but I peeped in.. lady wasn't that friendly, turned around and walked back to vehicle. Cute little tree with pink blossoms, reminded me of Okinawa .. turned around to see stree line with a great cherry blossom trees... gorgeous.. a gentlemanchanging sign was nice. Thanks for getting us on our way. read more

Went to get my propane tanks refilled for my husband, who was cooking breakfast burritos down the street for DST coffee. I've never done that before and it's my first time here for that. I pulled up to where the propane tanks are and I saw a guy sitting there. I asked, "Is this where I get my tanks refilled?" He replied, "I'm refilling one right now" and he motioned for me to park. So I did. He got done filling that tank and said, "Be right back." So I sat in the car for about ten minutes and waited. A truck pulled up behind me while I was waiting, almost blocking me in. He actually backed up a bit so I can get out. I told the man in the truck that I was waiting for propane and he said he is there for that, too. The guy comes back and immediately greets the man in the truck and starts filling up his propane. I got out of the car and said, "Hey, I was waiting for you!" And he said, "Well where are your tanks?!? Everyone else puts their tanks on that table for me to fill!" I told him they're in the back seat of my car and that they're heavy and I needed help to get them out since I just recovered from a pulled muscle in my lower back. I told him it was my first time there and I didn't know I was supposed to do that and how he could have just told me and I would've done it. So I go to take my tanks out of the car and he says, "You can go somewhere else. I'm not filling your tanks for you." And I was like what? For not knowing I was supposed to take the tanks out and put them on the table?! He again tells me to go somewhere else. I didn't even get the chance to take the tanks out of the car and he was already telling me no. He KNEW I was still there waiting and he KNEW I was there for propane so why help the guy that just pulled up instead of me? I wasn't just sitting in the spot he told me to park in for fun. I was waiting for him to "be right back." He was being a jerk ON PURPOSE. My husband is a long time customer and has always been cool with this guy; they have even gone snowboarding together in the past. We have even purchased tires from him for two of our vehicles. When I mentioned my husband's name, he said he didn't know who he was. He yelled at me to shut up as I drove away since I was yelling at him at this point for talking s**t about me with another customer and for his blatant rudeness and unprofessionalism. He doesn't NEED my business, so he probably doesn't NEED yours either. Everyone is "narcissistic"or "entitled" per his responses to reviews that are less than 5 stars. Read the reviews and his responses for yourself. No gratitude for his 5 star reviews, either. The city of Gardnerville should be ashamed of this guy as he does not represent the kindness this city has shown me since I moved up here from Los Angeles 6 months ago. I have NEVER had someone go that unhinged on me for no reason. Jimmy, go ahead and reply with how I was entitled or narcissistic or don't know how to read or how I was "so mad for some reason" or how I was rude or whatever else you can come up with. Seems like that's your go to response for everyone. It's never you, but all us dumb customers, right? Instead of trying to improve your attitude and customer service from these reviews, you are consciously choosing to berate your customers instead. You clearly hate your job so please go and take a vacation. Also, please seek help for your anger management issues and mental health. Many resources online for you to look up. I can't wait to read your response so I can prove my point to anyone reading these reviews. Save your breath if you want to tell me how you would love to see someone like me drive right by because I will never come back to your dirty dump. Gardnerville, stay away from this place. read more

Avoid this place. An Asian man (possibly Vietnamese) employed at the Pacific Gasoline Station and the adjacent U-Haul rental shop approached me when I was trying to fuel gas, verbally assaulted me with racist remarks, and made threats. I suspected he might have weapons. I called the police and reported the incident to the relevant agencies. read more

Amazingly nasty family. There was nobody waiting but I was not allowed to use the restroom first before paying as I had traveled from Reno during the snow storm. So many adjacent stations are so appealing and well run. Seems strange to be in the public sector with such malicious attitude. See how they do over the coming years....pleasant service gets rewarded immensely read more

Never have I been to a gas station and witness a near fight with the owner and a patron. Apparently, there is a small sigh on BELOW the pump that cautions people on topping off. The people across from us who pulled up the same time we did spilled a little gas as we did. The owner came out and demanded both of us pay a $49 fee for spilled gas. The other people argued this which caused a verbal to almost fist fight. My husband paid and we got out of there. We should've fueled across the street at Arco which we only a couple cents more per gallon. Never have I seen a gas station that charges for topping off. read more

This just does not sit right with me! We stop here yesterday 10/16/22 because the diesel price was good. I was pump diesel when I overheard a young man with a broom and a man in a truck arguing. The young man was stating go back to California and cussing loudly, then called this man in the trucks wife a whore. Things quickly escalated where the young man took his shirt off and other customers had to step in to prevent this fight. I then learned that the young man was the owners son. I continued pumping diesel and tried to put the issue out of my mind. I noted the pump was filling my truck fast. The pump shut off and as I always do I waited a few seconds for the diesel to settle. I made a comment to the owners son to try and calm things down, "that I appreciated their price on diesel!" I topped off my truck with a squeeze off the pump handle, diesel fuel began spilling onto the ground. I was surprised as was the customer next to me. Then the owners son stated they have to charge me $49.00 for topping off and that he saw me top off and pointed to small sign at the bottom left hand corner of the front of the pump. I then realized the issue with the last customer was over this charge and topping off. The owners son then told me they had been sued over topping off and came over to the pump I was at, removed the gas pump nozzle and poured gasoline onto the diesel fuel spill. I inquired as to why he was doing this and he stated the gas was a solvent to help clean up the diesel. At this point to myself I stated this is nuts. The owners son then said it takes them 1.5 hours to clean spills. I questioned this and stated there's no way putting kitty litter on the spill and then vacuuming it up takes 1.5 hours. What these people are doing is wrong, they are trying to overcharge for topping off to cover them getting sued. I know a thing or two about fueling stations. I've worked at refueling station performing service to HVAC systems. I know these are not the same but being around the industry you learn things. Most people would not know the pump pressure setting is too high. Most would think the pump are fueling their vehicles fast and that is good, right? The pump pressure at this station is set way too high this causing spills. The owners quit possible do not know this. The issue here is the charge and the posting off a small sign in a place no one would look. No other fueling station in the area charges this fee. My advise is do business some place else. This fueling station is not good for the community. read more

Pacific Gasoline has the best prices in town for gas. Nobody beats them! Small town family owned and operated. Jimmy IS THE MAN! Oh, and if you need a U-Haul, this is the place to go! We rented a U-Haul one way from Pacific Gasoline (easy arrangements, easy pick up, and affordable)! read more

We stopped here to buy propane for our RV. What a mistake. NEVER AGAIN. By the time we got to Las Vegas the propane system in rv had stalled out cost us $600 to have lines cleaned. DO. NOT BUY PROPANE HERE. read more

Jimmy took care of us for the UHaul trailer rental. He was extremely professional, friendly and knew what he was doing. He got us processed, hooked up and did a safety check in less than 15 minutes. The short time we were there everyone that came in knew Jimmy and all had a great repoire with him. I would recommend this location to anyone who needs a UHaul, gas, propane or anything else they provide. read more

Thanks for your help with my U-Haul rental. I rented here because it's always the best for gasoline. Thanks Pacific Gasoline read more

Update: I've been to many different uhaul locations since I wrote this review which just reminds me how horrible this specific location and owner is. Also, take a look at the new photo posted of the owners response. This owner will rob you and take advantage of you and then when you come forward with any complaints, he will act beyond unprofessional and belittle you for it.. news flash, not everyone will be happy with the services you provided.. thats life.. Unfortunately this grown man doesn't know how to control himself and acts out by throwing tantrums and lashing out at his customers. You think this man deserves or values your business? -------------------------------- Ive never experienced such bad customer service in my life. Jimmy , the owner was anything but pleasant. I told him I would like to discuss some charges with him so he pulled up my information. He wouldn't even let me get one word it, every time I tried to speak he would quickly cut me off. The issue was I picked up a rental and paid in full for a one way trip, I received a text stating my rental was due at 9am the next day and a uhual representative would be in touch to tell me my drop off location. Well, that representative never called. So now here we are 9:30am still waiting for a call. We decide to just go drop it off at the closest location, which we were unable to find! This is not only an EXTREMELY rural, in the middle of nowhere town but it's also our first time ever being in this town, so unfamiliar with the area and unable to find the uhual in our new town, we dropped it off in the town we were moving FROM. Because of all that and the lack of communication from uhual we were 4 hours late returning the truck. The truck was returned with more gas than when we got it, no damages and we nicely swept out the back. We think everything is good to go and we are on our way. A couple days later I get ANOTHER $160 charge. This is the charge I called to inquire about. Jimmy stated we were about 60 miles over our limit. Part uhuals fault for not giving me a drop off location and part our fault. Whatever I'll pay the extra miles. Then he states there's a $65 wrong destination fee for dropping at the wrong uhual. First of all, I didn't want to drive the extra distance, I HAD to because uhual was unprofessional and didn't follow through. Secondly many friends and family have dropped off in different locations and have never heard of this fee before. Once again whatever, I'll pay the $65. THEN he told me they charged me an entire second day for only being a few hours late, which was, once again, THEIR FAULT. He tried to argue saying we dropped it off at 3pm, false, we were back home meeting with the maintenance guy at 3pm. We dropped it off at 1pm and he was being slick and did not enter it until 3pm. Good way of stealing. I asked for a credit for at least the full day charge and he refused. Way to go owner, great way to keep customers and stay in business. The last thing that really upset me was his age discrimination against me, he kept arguing with me that I sent children to go return the uhual. I told him, NO it was ME who returned it. Still, he kept saying he saw for his own eyes it was two "kids" ... I said look, my children are 3 and 1, I did not send my kids to drive a truck. I am 21 and my husband is 24 so yes, we may look young but we work hard for our money that you're stealing and we handle ourselves in a professional and respectful manner. I guarantee you when we went to drop it off he thought we were "children" and felt he could pull a fast one on us and rob us blind. I'll be calling corporate about the issue. read more

Great stop! Lots of snacks to choose from, reasonable prices (as much as possible these days) and super friendly staff!

We stopped for propane fill on our RV. We were informed of a 3-gallon minimum ONLY AFTER he filled our tank with 1 gallon. Very disappointed customer service experience. read more

jimmy I apologize for the past review. You are a life saver. On Dec 2 you helped me with tires. I really appreciate you coming through regardless of what happened last time. He treated me with great kindness and started talking about cars. Not only that. If you're looking for great tires and low prices. Come here. I will definitely be coming back to supporting local business. Thanks jimmy and apologies for the past review. read more

Great service and fruitful people. I enjoy talking with the family that runs the operation. A plus

Jimmy is the man indeed! They have been providing multiple resources excellently to the Gardnerville area for years! Always the best fuel price too and Jimmy has helped me out multiple times with U-Haul. True family owned business. It's really unfortunate that the two people below (Kent and Christinya) ranted on here about their propane/U-haul problems which from our business experience is mess regardless who's behind the counter. (So stop projecting your emotional problems on other good humans-you should be ashamed of yourselves for knocking these great hard working traditional American family business owners here) Vote with your spending $'s my fellow Neighbors. read more

Jimmy is the man! I was sent here for a U-Haul after my original location refused to rent me a trailer for Burning Man. This location rents U-Haul equipment and is a gas station. Jimmy owns this place and he is very friendly and accomodating. He lent my buddy and I the hitch for free as he did not have any available for use to purchase. Renting it would have cost more than the purchase but he felt bad that we had to travel so far for a trailer that he threw us a bone. We received fantastic service and treatment here. This is a family-owned location and all members we encountered were extremely friendly. read more

Seriously, low quality gas and even lower quality customer service. Save you car and you time and find another place to go!! I'd spend twice as much and go somewhere else. read more

Experienced my first bout of racism at this place. I am shocked and disappointed at the way I was treated. More over, my vehicle seems to run less efficiently with the gas from this place. Any other place in town is better than going here. Not friendly, not professional, racist and rude. read more

Cheap diesel and very friendly, accommodating staff (owners?). I'll stop here every time I go through. No frills, but not at all inconvenient for the price. read more

Do NOT rent a Uhaul from this place. They charged me for not sweeping it out which I did twice. I've rented from them before and it also had an issue. He said he would send me an emailed receipt of the charges never got that either. His entire mannerism was very unprofessional and he was combative when I explained it was swept. I could swear he just threw dirt in the uhaul and charged the customer for it. I will never purchase from this store again or rent a uhaul. Absolutley terrible. read more

Saved my hide and allowed me to park trailer overnight and stayed open longer to rent me trailer I needed. Friendly, helpful, Great community members!! THANK YOU!! read more

The only fuel station I use when traveling through area. Jimmy also sells tires and beats Costco and tire rack pricing every time. You also get to fuel first/pay later at pumps which is super fast and convenient. The entire family works together and are very warm and friendly. Their fuel prices are consistently the lowest in the valley. read more

Drove across country for a car, so we got a car trailer from uhaul. Our reservation was on the same road as the car but got changed to this location over an hour away. Better yet the map location they sent us was messed up setting us back 45 minutes into some trailer park. Also think we got scammed big time! The cost of the trailer cost went up to $1,100 and after we paid the mother and son started speaking in another language and the son tried to hush her. Very sketchy. Uhaul didnt disclose the cost of the rental till time of pick up. Not cool. Mind you I could have had the car towed for 1,500. Don't go to this uhaul OR allow yourself to get transferred here. Also side note really dirty inside the store. read more

The customer service here is terrible. They are not kind, and don't smile. They are so many gas stations I'd rather go to than this one! Pass this one and go to another. read more

I've been a customer here for nearly a decade, and the service is impeccable. I rented a UHaul to take to Texas, and Jimmy gave me the finest service in all of Carson Valley. Man, does he know how to drive a moving truck. He's not bad on the eyes either. He's super friendly and personable and fair. His gas is always the cheapest in town, and his trucks and business are spotless and well taken care of. The restroom smells like lilacs. Stop here if you're headed through! read more

I have U-haul rental locations closer by a good amount. I go out of my way to only do business with Jimmy at Pacific Gasoline, because he's consistently friendly, accommodating and he keeps his equipment in excellent shape. He's come through for me more than once and has a lifetime customer here. Highly recommended. read more

Pump your gas then pay, very convenient. Customer service beyond excellent. Gas quality, you get what you pay for. Simple as that.

The pumps are old and not up to date, but who cares when the prices are low, a friendly family owns the place, and they have nice flowers at the ends of each island. read more

I was there yesterday to pick up a rental tow truck from Uhual to tow my damaged car from South Lake Tahoe tow yard back to the Bay Area. Pacific gasoline is a family owned business, the senior guy, the lady at the counter and their son are EXTREMELY nice and helpful on the whole rental process. They offered me extra days and miles after knowing that I was going to tow my vehicle for 200+miles to avoid further storage fee at the tow yard, and gave me full refund after I found out that I couldn't tow my car down anymore. I had a very bad time dealing with the tow yard on my car accident. This family made me feel that they are really willing to help me rather than just want to make money. They are really decent people with integrity. That's the warmest experience I had on that day. Definitely recommend this family! read more

Don't go here! Worst business I ever dealt with. Went to have a propane tank filled. It only needed a half gallon to have it topped off. When I went to pay, the clerk told me it was a 3 gal. minimum. The clerk who filled the tank could have told me that from the start. She showed me a small 3in x 4in sign I failed to see. Not to mention the highest price for propane in the Valley. Bunch of crooks! read more

We needed to rent a small U-haul truck for a one-way trip out-of-state. Jimmy was very helpful and accommodating to our situation and needs. We were very pleased and would recommend them to those needing to rent a U-haul. They offer great prices on gas as well. Thank you Jimmy for the great service. read more

I have been buying gas here for 24 years and have found the gas to be of high quality & lower ethanol percentage. The gas is always less expensive than anywhere else...including Costco. I have a Mavericks discount card and even with the Mavericks discount, these guys are cheaper. Plus you can charge the gas on your credit card and still get the 'cash' price PLUS get whatever perks your credit card offers. I have comparison-priced for years and they consistently offer the lowest price, the best gas, and, by far, the best customer service in Northern Nevada (and maybe the world!). Buying here also supports a family-owned business which keeps the money in our local community. read more

We rented a U-haul trailer thru the 800#. Then we met Jimmy & his mother when we picked the trailer up. They know what they are doing & are very friendly. I'm sorry we are leaving the area.
