When I responded that I know exactly what I'm doing and it's weird to charge me to fix their own machine, he said "it's not weird, this isn't a free service". Not budging from his seat, he continued demanding payment to check the air machine. From there, it took a full argument for an employee to finally come out and address their machine's malfunction. And no, it was not user error like the attendant ignorantly claimed. Not only was he blatantly disrespectful for no apparent reason other than sexism, his behavior was illegal according to CA Code Section 13651. If you expect basic civility with your patronage, don't spend money here.

But I went into this gas station as I have several times before to refill a propane tank. I approached the woman at the register, told her I needed a refill l, she responded to give her I minute. I replied I'd be out back take your time. After 30 minutes I decided to go check in. She was standing with no customers in front of her at the register. I politely said I was still waiting for propane she repeated I should give her a minute. I asked roughly how long and she replied with attitude that when she was done with customers and that she was the only employee working. I thought this was strange since there were none at the time. I said ok I've been here 30 minutes, I'll be out back and walked back outside. I sat for 15 more minutes and saw one customer come and go. So I walked back inside and when I was at the door I stopped because I saw her resting on a stack of inventory facing the rear of the store in the back near the restrooms and talking to another employee. After standing for about two minutes she turned and saw me and said you need to give me a minute. I replied it's all good. There's not a single customer and I've been here close to an hour. I'll just go elsewhere. I went back to my vehicle and started writing this review. As I write this woman and the other staff have taken some empty boxes to the bin outback and are now standing having a conversation literally five feet from the propane refill area, while customers enter the store with the doors wide open. I'll leave it at that

What I do, however, come to this gas station for is propane tank filling. I came here on Thanksgiving Day and they were thankfully open. For $2.77 per gallon of propane, it wasn't a horrible price.

Oh, and it is near $7 a gallon if you get less than 10 gallons! I completely understand this being a beach town and expect to pay a little more, but double? Perfect example of PRICE GOUGING!

For management:…read more Great coffee and location. However 5 mins ago I got a coffee and used 2 cups seemingly glued together, couldn't pull the two cups apart so just used 2 cups as one. Didn't have time today to sit there and wrestle them apart, tho I'm a 200 lb rock climber and it shouldn't have been so hard. At payment was TOLD "I charged you for two cups" by the woman working there. I assumed she meant for two cups (like a 75 cent surcharge for the extra cup) but realized she meant two cups of coffee after. Um. The wrongness of this should be evident, but here's a couple versions that would be less egregious: Even "I'll have to charge you for two cups of coffee if you don't separate the cups." Or better, don't charge a person for two cups of cofffee who got one cup of coffee. This is charging for an empty CUP something like 3000% of the cost of the cup for the cup, and that is extortionate, even if the scale is small. This is absolutely unacceptable policy, if it is policy, and needs to be addressed, whether it is or not. Great location though! Also, "I charged you for two cups" is inaccurate is misleading if you charged me for two coffees. That is the necessary language.

There is a shop I used to use all the time for the twenty years I lived here, but they were booked and apparently years of being a customer didn't count for anything. Finally someone recommended this Chevron, saying they were competent and honest. I called and spoke to Brian who made an appointment for me to come in; I explained the problem and I noticed he had my hood up and was evaluating my issue before my ride picked me up to go to work (within 10 minutes). Two hours later, Brian called and had fixed the problem. I have a few miles on all of my cars and if I ever have trouble again while In Santa Barbara, this Chevron on Fairview will be my "go-to" stop. Thanks Brian for taking care of a stranger as if they were a long-time customer.
