Gas is gas. It's a little dirtier than most places but what really isn't dirty in Downtown. Cash is king. Credit and Debit prices are usually ten cents more. Have some spare change in case you're asked by a homeless person as they do tend to hang around here. read more

The car wash is terrible. Pay for the membership and after that good luck getting it to read your plate. I cancelled. And they still charged me another month. Don't bother with this spot. read more

I always come to this gas station. Good fuel pricing but I feel the things inside they add any pricing. I bought a Reese's that at the most I've seen it for 180.00. He ran another item and said oh no worry it's the same price. Sure Didn't like the answer read more

Petromerica - Receipt and item - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Paid for gas inside and was double charged.. I contacted my bank to dispute the charge I also have the receipt I'm not going to bother with the gas station but I read the reviews and it seems like a lot of people have the same issue please report them to the consumer protection agency in the state they need to be shut down or investigated. read more

Is this a gas station or a homeless stronghold? If you're a parent of a spoiled child, you can come here to practice saying "no" to all 12 homeless people who will surely approach your vehicle. read more

This man was so mean to me would not let me buy a cup of hot water. I went inside and needed a cup of hot water ask him if he had any hot water he flat said no I seen hot water over on the coffee pot tried to get some and he would not even let me buy hot water. read more

I've been working at the construction site down the street from this establishment for over a year so I used to go to this gas station quite a bit. Every time I pay with cash they rip me off a penny or two. I didn't notice it at first but I caught on a few times after I was given a couple cents short. They do this every time when you pay cash. Literally penny pinchers at this place. I called the guy at the register out on it and he gave me the correct change after a bit of arguing pretending he was clueless. I would stay clear of this place. read more

This tiny little gas station is set up terribly as there is zero room to manuever around the lot around other vehicles. If there's an empty pump in front of the vehicle you're behind then you'll just have to wait! The receipt also didn't print and I had to go inside and waste more time. Not recommended unless you really need gas downtown. Their prices are a little cheaper than the next couple gas stations I saw read more

I dont fill gas from Downtown often since i live in spring valley & its much cheaper but this place amazingly cheapest gas in the area & good quality also , coffee was freshly made & tasted good , the cashier was nice , less homeless than before , i saw some ratings for the homeless & come on guys what can the owner do about it ?

Petromerica more like PetroAMAZINGmerica!! Good gas stations in downtown San Diego are constantly difficult to find, but GREAT gas stations are even harder. PetroAMAZING is GREAT and literally has it all: the best gas prices, a car wash that's easy to use and makes my car look brand new, fire snacks, all the daily essentials I need, and on top of all that, a staff that treats you like family!! I never thought a gas station would hold such a strong bond in my heart, but because of the staff and the services they provide, PetroAMAZINGmerica in downtown San Diego is THE ONLY place I will go to! read more

This gas station may be a bit run down with older pumps BUT they have a fully stocked restroom and EXCELLENT customer service. Best of all, they have THE BEST GAS PRICES in all of San Diego. (Uber driver) read more

DONT BUY ANYTHING HERE. I just purchased gas this morning and now my debit card information is hacked and they've spent over $1000 on my card. read more

So many people have written angry reviews for what is clearly not a corporate run gas station. Go pay 7-11 gas prices if you want a 7-11 experience! This gas station consistently has the best prices in the area!! read more

The cashier is rude af! Quit if you're gonna have an attitude for no reason. Don't try and ruin a paying customers day

Best priced gas in downtown & also most of San Diego. Never much of a wait for gas either which is usually the case for cheaper gas.

Can't beat this gasstation/carwash. Best service, honest employees with integrity. Best prices around. I'll be loyal to them continuously as long as they remain so affordable and honest. read more

Petromerica always has the cheapest gas in the downtown area. Sixty-Seventy cents cheaper than the Philips a couple blocks away. I've never bought anything inside. There are 10 7-11s downtown, so I doubt I ever will. read more

This car wash is a disappointment. $14 and it looks like I just sprayed down my car with a garden hose. I had to rewash the windshield at the pump. I assumed the $14 drive through "car wash" would also entitle me to use the vacuums like a normal car wash place, that's not the case here at Petromerica. It's an extra $1.50 for the vacuum which was hardly functioning because it was clogged with so much debris and shut off when I was halfway done using it on my car. I think Body Beautiful charges $20 but they wash it, vacuum it and when you are finished, it looks like you got your car washed. Of course the location of Petromerica car wash has the added benefit of homeless derelicts harassing customers for money, so you get a little excitement with your (not) car wash but I think for me it was a total waste of money. Maybe an industrious homeless person could start offering to do the detail work that the "car wash" misses...like the windows, wheels and body? read more

Normally I have a decent experience with the car wash and the workers here when I have a problem but today was just too much. I get in line after nearly being clipped by a truck driver zooming to get in the line again before me and waited probably 10-15 minutes for my turn. I pay at the machine while the truck gets washed and everything is set until the truck somehow causes a glitch when he rushes out the wash before the machine is back and the green light let's him know he can go. I noticed that my green light outside is no longer flashing for me and when I try to go in after he leaves, the machine wants me to pay again and it won't start up. Annoyed, I walk around to the store and tell the clerk who looks confused (it's not the first time this car wash has had problems, come on man) but tells me to pull around and he'll give me a new code when it's my turn again. Getting a bit pissed that I now have to wait for 2 more cars to go again but hoping I can get it done and get home, I agree and go around and wait. When it's my turn, I walk back around to inform him and he tells me that he checked the machine record and it shows I didn't pay. Umm what? I'm pretty sure my wallet begs to differ and I did put 7 dollars in for my regular wash. I told him that I did and he kept going on about the machine record and basically implying I'm trying to steal a damn car wash. Listen here, I don't need to steal a 7 dollar car wash, and I don't need to wait like 30 minutes to do it when I got my dogs in the car. I told you the machine glitched out and you can open up the thing and give me my money. He grudgingly gave me my car wash I PAID for. I'm honestly really insulted and I'll be looking for another quick gas station/drive thru car wash for when it's needed because people who try to take my money are where I don't frequent. read more

So it's about 4am on March 6th & I stop here to buy a cup of ice & use the restroom. But the attendant he tells me the bathroom is out of order. Only I'm not sure if I believe him because he has lied to my husband before in the past. I persist & he tells me someone has stuffed toilet paper in the toilet. Isnt it part of his job to fix something like that? How hard can it be to plunge a toilet? We leave frustrated again.... read more

Love coming here! They have the cheapest gas prices and the employees are super friendly! Never thought I'd recommend coming to a gas station in my life. read more

So, I drive up to the car wash. There's a car parked right in front of the entrance and it's not moving. The owner is outside of his car, shaking his head and looking at the car. After about a minute, I get out to see what's wrong. Me: Is everything okay? Clueless dude: The car wash is broken. It just shoots water up underneath the car. Me (starting to get back in my car): Okay. CD: Do you think it's okay? Me: Do I think what's okay? CD: My car. It shot water up right at my engine. Me: Yeah dude, I don't think a quick stream of water is going to hurt your engine. If it's still running then you're okay. CD: But I saw smoke coming out from it! Me: That was probably steam. Your engine is hot. CD: Oh yeah... I wish there was another car wash close to my house. Not only does this place have a crappy car wash that is broken two out of three times that I try to use it, but now each trip here actually makes me dumber. Also, the gas pump area is always super-crowded. The only advantage to this place is that it is close to the downtown 94 access and the 5 South on-ramp. If you do get gas here, though, be quick. This place always seems like it is about 10 minutes away from getting robbed. read more

In the beginning this place was pretty good. Staff are nice enough and besides the throng of eastern european cab drivers swapping soviet stories I always found a stall pretty quickly. I came here all the time, but this place hasn't fixed their card readers in MONTHS. I was in a bit of a rush today when I realized that ALL of the card readers around me were out. I walked in and he said the card reader on #3 was working. I went outside, moved my car, and #3 card reader was broken as well. Came back inside and told him that was broken too. He said "it's broken because so many people use it, NO PROBLEM just tell me how much you want and I'll charge your card for it... if it's over come back in and i'll charge your card back that amount.. it's easy!" Really? Easy is when you have a card reader that can read your card at the pump and you can authorize the credit card. AND THEN when you're done pumping gas, it will automatically (whoa!) charge the EXACT amount of gas you bought so you don't ever have to wait in your line! It's amazing! But I know... First World Problems. read more

Cashier Issa will rip you off. . if an item doesn't come up on the register, don't bother buying, because Issa will Jack up the price.

The credit/debit card readers at the pumps are perpetually out of order, so you have to go inside. ALWAYS check your bank/credit card statements... this is the only place I've ever been double-charged at.. read more

Near a large homeless encampment, the gas station is run down and feels "exposed". If you're by yourself at night, I would imagine you would want to skip this spot. The pumps take credit card and the price per gallon was competitive. The convenient location, and ease of access bumped this to a three star rating, however, maybe if they work on the cleanliness of their location, it would get some more customers. read more

Petromerica - a gas station with gas pumps - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

The pump did not function properly, they charged me an extra fee to use my credit card with the fee NOT being advertised at the pump or having a warning that says "see cashier". Also, the pump was either malfunctioning or empty because I could only pump barely a gallon and the clicker just would not retain pressure to feed the gas. I went inside, as a courtesy, to let the guy behind the counter know. I told him it was either broken or empty. He smirked and said "You have to pay for it to work. You no pay."EXCUSE YOU? I whipped out my receipt and said "I DID pay. See? It only let me pump out that much. I came in here as a courtesy to let you know." "Oh, okay, okay." NO, it's not okay, you sexist jerk. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm unaware of how to pump gas. Screw you, guy. read more

This gas station consistently has the most affordable prices between the Arco, and 76 gas station in the same block. I usually go to the 76 because i believe their gas is superior so i don't mind spending the extra money to gas up. This gas station however has something that the 76 does not have, a car wash. Although the car wash itself looks kind of sketchy and old it left my car looking better than the far more expensive car wash i usually get at Pearl Car Wash in City Heights. PLUS if you spend 10 dollars in gas (which you will) you get a dollar off the car wash, whats not to love about that. read more

Petromerica - Smh - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Bought a milk here this morning around 4 am and is tasted sour and bad. Went back and exchanged for a second one. Same thing. After I told them it's a bad batch they got, they didn't listen, said it hadn't "expired" yet and told me there's nothing they can help me with. So yeah I got stuck with bad milk. Don't go here. No integrity. read more

The gas station was a little run down but the workers were great. The price of gas was cheapest in the entire area! Over all worth the destination with gas being 3.89 in some other places near by gas being 3.09 for cash was an amazing deal! read more

The worst Custer service. My car tire needs gas so I put $1.00 in the machine and it doesn't work so I asked if I could get my money back to go to a different station to put air in my tire. He yelled at me and said he wouldn't give me the change. I told him I didn't have any more change for the next gas station. He just gave me a dirty look! read more

Had low tire pressure. Ran out of pump time, and owner would not turn on free air back on for me. Didn't realize air was at such a premium.

Slowest gas pump I have ever used, took me ,23 minutes to get gas after I prepaid, beware of this place if you don't have an extra half hour to spend. Get it fixed guys! read more

I have been to this car wash twice now since it is the only car wash near my house and both experiences have been absolutely terrible. My last one in particular. Initially I bought the premium wash and half way through the wash, it completely stopped... leaving my car soapy and wet. I decided to go elsewhere because the gas station attendant refused to listen to me. The second time I decided to let the gas attendant know that his machine was broken and I needed a refund. He refused saying "if I give you a refund I will be out 8 dollars" not even caring that I had just paid for a Premium wash only getting half a wash. With my car still soaking wet I asked him to please refund me the money or to provide another wash. He refused saying "fuck you, I do not owe you anything" I brought my fiancé in to talk with the guy because it was obvious there was no reasoning with him. He reluctantly gave us another car was which was the express wash... not the one we purchased and yelled at us to leave. I am so shocked that someone who owns a business would treat customers this way. read more

I came here after leaving the weird 76 station around the corner. The price per gallon was the same, but the station was cleaner, and the pumps were faster. If I'm downtown, and need gas, I'll stop here again. read more
