Wish I could leave a -3 stars. Went in for gas ....had a question about paying at the pump asked the cashier and she rolled her eyes and said."are you from here?". I get it - good people are hard to come by but geez, maybe you could do a little bit of staff training. No one should be paid to be rude to customers. 8/9 3:25pm. read more

New update very amazing cheepst gas now all over Berkeley good customer service added a lot of item read more

See all

I stopped by and asked the gas station attendants for air so I could fill my tires. Each time they turned the air pump on, they turned it off in a short amount of time. I kept going in to ask them to turn the air back on, and the rude gentleman had the audacity to yell at me and say, "This is the third time I've turned on the air, what are you doing?!" Absolutely disgusting customer service - Not to mention their gas prices are 50 cents more than neighboring stations. Avoid at all costs. read more

Disclaimer: My intentions are neither to promote a business nor is it my goal to destroy a businesses reputation, however if a business displays things that are post worthy (great service , delicious food , great ambience ,etc ..)I will review accordingly . There are always two sides of a coin (meaning there will also be not so great experiences and visits . I will share my experiences with our community good or Bad . REVIEW TIME: SIDE NOTE: I have been going to Valero's for sometime now (years) so to save everyone time let's just say that I am a regular . THE SITUATION : Everyone knows the process of purchasing gas outside at those pesky pumps. Yesterday nothing different same routine . So first I insert my card into the machine and followed the direction as prompted (Easy right ? ) . I always always pay for my gas with credit and have never had any issues with my zip code , however at this location I did . (No big deal right ?) So as anyone else would do I went inside to speak with the clerk for assistance. Well this was where things began to go sour. I asked did they accept credit and the clerk stated that they do not take credit inside but only at the machine. I have had problems with other credit cards(Mag strip , cracked card , chip fallen out you name it !) so I know that this isn't the truth but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and asked for further assistance at the actual pump . (Things are about to get good , stay with me here !!!!) The clerk then followed me and put in the zip code for me . *CARD UNABLE TO BE AUTHORIZED * flashed upon the screen . I look at him and he looks at me and he looks me in the eyes and says "You're using the wrong Zip Code ". I stated to him that I went to a different Valero same time last week and it worked fine with that zip code . I eased his concerns and stated hat I have had the same credit card for 5 years so I can guarantee that the zip code is right . (I even pulled out my ID to show him ) When I told him this he immediately called me a liar constantly. Once those words evacuated his vocal chords I decided to take my business else where (Chevron right down the street ) and guess what !?!?! YEP!! You guessed right , my zip code worked the first try . I've never felt so disrespected , belittled, and upset at an establishment until now . I did not argue or protest with the clerk just calmly explained to him that his actions were unwarranted and disgusting and from this day on I will avoid this location at all cost . (Rather push my car to the next gas station if I run out ) read more

regular gas is 4.49/gal. assume they have lots of taxis or corporate accounts filling up here read more

THE MOST EXPENSIVE GAS STATION EVER. This station makes me want to bus or walk. I saw that diesel was 4.99 a gallon. This is probably the most expensive gas station in Berkeley. remember seeing 5 dollar something and thought I was blind, but no, its crazy expensive! read more

Gas is over $1/galleon here more than other places. Wut. Would only fill a Zipcar here. Also, their other stuff in the little shop also overpriced! 2L coke for 2.99: WUT. read more

Lies about open time on google. Honestly posting your availability is better than dysfunction.

Wasted $8 for a malfunctioning gas pump that stops every fucking 0.1 gallons, and my gas marker didn't even go up the slightest bit after those $8. Spend your money on another gas station down University Ave. A big Fuck You to Valero read more

While not $1 more than everyone else in the neighborhood (as previous reviewers pointed out), I mistakenly filled up my tank this morning for $3.99 for regular gas: 60 cents more than the cheapest gas in Berkeley, but only about 15 cents more than some other places around. read more

STAY AWAY! I'm one of those people who do not mind spending 50 cents more per gallon for Shell or Chevron gas. So whenever I drive by this place and see that they are charging $1 or even $1.50 more than the Shell down the road, I'm floored. Seriously, there are people who fill up here?? This must be the most expensive gas station in the country! read more

This place is a total racket, they charge over an extra dollar per gallon.

The worst. Literally $1 more per gallon than the nearest station. I also have a sneaking suspicion that my identity has been stolen the two times I was forced to use this station. read more

Well, don't I feel like an idiot. Just paid 4.899 per gallon at this place. I couldn't believe my eyes after looking at my receipt. This is just plain weird. Something sketchy must be going on at this station. read more

This place is an absolute ripoff. They are charging $4.99 a gallon for diesel while chevron a half mile away is charging $2.97. This is not a one time anomaly. I've been observing their prices for a long time and they are always WAY HIGHER but when the price difference exceeded $2 a gallon I felt I had to write. read more

Outrageous price gouging! 1$ more per gallon than any other gas station. It's dishonest, most stations have prices +-10 cents. These guys take advantage of customers who aren't paying attention. read more

Yep, the most expensive gas in Berkeley. Always at least $1 a gallon more than everywhere else. No idea why anyone fills up here.

Stopped in a hurry to buy gasoline. Filled the tank and then gasped at the total. Driving out of the lot, saw the price was 1 dollar above Berkeley average. I called anonymously to ask what the price of gallon was. I was rudely told the store didn't discuss prices over the phone. I called back and asked why they were ripping off unsuspecting consumers and was hung up on. Total scam. Stay away. read more

CONSUMER BEWARE. The private owner of University Valero GAS on MLK and University is gouging consumers with outrageous gas prices....$4.89 a gallon...about $1.40 over average gas rates in Berkeley. Go there with a picket sign or complaint, or STAY AWAY. read more

It happened to me also. Just paid $1 more per gallon than anywhere else...of course, I didn't realize it at the time. Upon complaining, they just played stupid! This place is such a scam! Stay Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 read more

Unbelievable that they're getting away with charging more than a $1 over other Berkeley Stations. I saw it too late. Just thieves.
