Signage and low gas prices!
Ashley M.

CLEAN, DIVERSE VARIETY, GREAT GAS PRICES: This is one of my favorite gas stations in the Goleta area. The lot is at an angle, so entry is easy and in-and-out are swift. There is a "Point" market inside, which is always really well-stocked and has some amazing and rare finds! (Who knew a convenience store could be gourmet?!). The workers are always sweet, helpful and I never feel rushed, even when they are busy. Their cold beverage assortment is huge and diversified; everything from energy drinks to wines and everything in between. A hot and cold grab-and-go area is nearby in case you are rushed and need a quick nibble. However, my favorite thing about this location is their automated car wash, which does a much more thorough job than 90% of those in local comparison. -Great gas prices, goodies and good people!

car wash was such low quality. we paid $14 for the premium car wash. it wasn't powerful enough to properly clean the car. there was still dirt and bird poop on the car afterwards. and the dryer part only worked about 50% of the way. Will not be coming back.

Coffee Organic Fair Trade fresh ground!
Jema H.

This is not your ordinary gas station market. Well, it is but then it is also more. I was most impressed with the coffee selection. They have some great machines that are stocked with 100% organic fair trade coffee beans that grind fresh to order. And, the prices are good.

Current price! May 2017

“The basic car wash I received did not include the soft touch foam scrub, so my car came out all soapy and the drier was super weak.”

Easy for taller van and Rv car washes but busy!!! Pricey gas but it's shell! If it's what you want…read moreor you use a cars of theirs, it's a convenient location to stop on trip or as a local to grab what you need... Seems like during Covid they've had the option to have either self service or some more human service washes depending on the lane you enter, self serve tends to still be hanging to the right days and the left for more human service. The store inside has a decent selection of snacks and drinks hot coffee etc. good place to grab a quick thermos of hot water and a pinch on a trip especially for Van Life or's or RV people if you need to stop you should be able to pull in without too many clearance issues even if you have to hang to the side of it. Can be a little busy and difficult to get in and out on the corner with how many people utilize it however if you want to use this company's gas, the you can deal! Otherwise a lot of customers go across the street corner diagonally to Fuel Depot, which can be a bit more price competitive in big fill ups I use them more often and their machine function also sells car washes to the turnpike shell car wash... They also have air filling stations and vacuums in the back and on the side as well as an outdoor sink for washing hands which is very helpful if you've been servicing your car or doing anything else especially for travelers who stopped and maybe don't have a better way to clean up. Otherwise run over to in and out if you can stand it and the parking lots have driveways that cross in between so just be careful and mindful of people going different directions as a lot of out-of-towners don't really understand which driveways to use and how to be polite ;) so it can get jammed up at moments. I suggest just being patient or going during slower times if you're concerned.

This review is for the car wash. I paid for a $15 car wash and it was not worth it at all. The guys…read morewho usually wash your car right before you drive into the car wash weren't there. I mistakenly assumed that just the car wash would be satisfactory... nope.

She filled the tank with no issues and I was on my way in about 10 minutes. She was great and it only cost about $11 to fill it instead of exchanging at my original location. Will be back!!

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

Cleanest gas station in Goleta!…read more Gas stations and cleanliness are not typically found in the same sentence. When I think of the typical gas station, I picture filth galore. The pumps are grimy, dim lighting, sketchy overall atmosphere. I do not get that vibe when I'm at this particular 76. When I went in to pay for my fuel this afternoon, I was delighted to see that the cashier was busy sanitizing. The small market smelled very clean and everything appeared orderly. A win in my book. This station also has some of the best-priced fuel in Goleta. It's 30-40 cents less per gallon than the other name brand stations in the city. I also appreciate how they add soap to their windshield wash stations. Not something you see often. All in all, it's just another gas station. However, I don't feel dirty after filling up! I'll be back again.

Doors were open, i was told they close every night, not open 24 hours. Bummer because the hours made me go out of my way. Suggested they update the information. This gas station was closed for a very long time, remodeled and under new ownership. The hours should be honest. The gas pumps looked close but the store looked open. Please update hours, thank you!

For northbound travelers on Highway 101, this 76 gas station is primarily known as the last service…read morestop for the next 30 miles (until the town of Buelleton). Gas prices here are always inflated a few cents (perhaps for that reason) when compared with the average going market rate. Besides filling up, a good selection of food/snacks and restrooms (decent condition) are available. However what makes this seemingly inconspicuous pit stop noteworthy is the remarkable friendly service of the attendant. I've never before met someone so genuinely kind, polite and helpful at a gas station in Southern California. We stopped one day to buy a gallon of water and noticed the price tag for milk (~$4) was labeled in the front row of the water. We brought this to the attention of the attendant who profusely thanked us and realized that was the reason why his water sales were surprisingly low. To show his appreciation he gave us free coffee and many compliments. We stopped again on the way back to use the restroom and were surprised to hear that since the price tag had been fixed he is now nearly out of water! I'll be real with you. Unless I'm running on E, I'll fill up gas at the next stop over. However the charm of this one-of-a-kind gentleman is enough to make me pull over to grab some snacks for the road and exchange greetings with my favorite gas station attendant! Thanks Kenny!
