This Valero Gas Station is one of the cheapest gas stations really in downtown Walnut Creek area, has about 12 gas pump stations, & kudos they have a Car Wash =) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zNUWhNdNRi-t7ZrGk2Zg2A?select=Cs3W_lBN4nDT87E_8PwMoQ There's an Arco Gas Station opposite side of them on Ygnacio Valley Rd, guess it just depends if you're driving West or East on this road. I personally just prefer Valero 'cuz they take credit card & debit versus Arco takes debit only. Anywho, my Durango has been in dire need of a wash. Got their "Thrifty Wash" (basic) for $5.99 plus $1.00 since I didn't get any gas. $6.99 later & my baby is clean & ready for the week *tee-hee* ------------------------- GAS PRICES IN YOUR AREA http://cbs5.com/search/Link.ashx?R=http://cbs5.com/gasprices

love these "neuro" drinks

Well I've never had any problems with gas or pricing here. But I honestly don't pay cash for anything (especially gas - Discover gives me 5% back!) so I don't even look at prices. I drive a 66 Mustang and an SUV so my average mpg isn't great. (Before you frown, I don't drive much, and when I'm out with my husband we drive his hybrid). All in all, gas prices don't really bother me. But I don't get gas here often. I come for the food. I love gas stations with food inside. The Chevron next to my house has awesome employees but a totally weak sauce Food Mart. This Valero has a pretty decent inventory. A wall of drinks and several aisles of snacks. I get friendly service when I go in. Never had any complaints about the employees. I like all the people working here. :)

AFTER their crappy car wash. What a rip off.

Gas prices just meh unless you buy their crappy car wash. Check out my pictures for the results of THAT mistake. And that after someone got stuck in the machine with three people ahead of me making for a half hour wait. And THAT after it broke down while I was in line the first time I tried to use my code. I won't be back except maybe for gas if I don't feel like driving out of my way for a better price.

The screen from my window sill level. About 3 1/2 feet away.

I left this gas station two stars because while I have never had a problem with the gas or store, the carwash is absolutely ridiculous. Let me go step by step. First of all, the carwash takes about 5 minutes PER CAR. So if you are 4th in line, expect to wait about 20 minutes to get into the car wash. When you finally do get to the carwash, the entry machine is built for all sizes of vehicles. That must include monster trucks. I don't own a low-slung car, but I still had to reach half my body outside the window to reach the screen. I can't imagine if I was in a sports car! Please see the attached photo. the screen is a good three and a half feet from my window. And is about four and a half feet off the ground. That is a lot when you're sitting in your car. When you finally get done contorting your body to enter your receipt code, the Car Wash starts. The foam starts spraying and it only got to my windshield. Then it stopped. But actually that doesn't matter because when the machine came back over my car, it sprayed water, washing all of the foam off my car. There was no more foam at any time. The wash wheels are covered in what I think is rubber lashes. Not the best for your car. Basically this just rubbed these rubber lashes all over your car with recycled water only for 4 minutes. Thank God I waited until there was nobody in the car wash to do this, or I would have been absolutely infuriated having to wait 20 minutes for this. Overall, please do yourself a favor and DO NOT get a carwash here. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Li'l Bear or any other car wash. You will be much, much happier you did. I am not a shill for li'l bear, but they have never done less than an adequate job. Which is much more than I can say for this place. Edit: I just noticed (wash day+2) my wheels were not washed AT ALL. RIDICULOUS! Just reduced my rating from 2 to 1 stars. This is flat-out thievery.

This is no longer a Valero. It is an Andoil. Still has the drive thru car wash. Prices are similar to other stations around.

Good location, easy gas up. For some reason, gas is cheaper in Walnut Creek ( compared to Alameda).

Overall this store isn't a bad store that's not why it gets a 3 star rating…read more It's in a really weird spot I don't know if it's by apartments or what that gate that opens is but there's so much traffic and there's a little shopping center as well that it's in. If you go there you'll know what I'm talking about it's just a very weird set up and I just would prefer to go somewhere else but I'll go here if it's closest. There was this man out there today just sitting there staring at everyone I don't know if he does that a lot but just a weird vibe there. Wasn't a worker. The worker was pretty nice I just don't like how my feet got sticky what I got in there. I wiped it off on the rug real quick I'm not keeping your stickiness with me that's gross. So overall it was just a strange experience. Thanks for reading hope this helps!

Everything was sticky, the refrigerated area was too warm at 48 degrees, there was what seemed to…read morebe mayonnaise on every surface, none of the employees were wearing masks (and laughed when I asked where their masks were), and they refused to give me a bag after I paid for one. Tried to call the comment line on the receipt but it doesn't seem to be a working number. But I honestly expected that after the service I received.

I could not tell you why they have 3 Chevrons pretty much right next to each other, but one of them…read moreis always 20+ cents cheaper per gallon than every other Chevron in the east bay. I always come here for the cheapest Chevron gas if I am around Moraga for school or driving back from Berkeley/Oakland/Lamorinda back home to San Ramon. I really don't get it. But I won't complain! Wait time is never bad, usually no wait to be honest. I've never once been inside the mart in the 4 years I've been coming here but the gas pumps work and the air pumps have helped the two times I've used those.

Today April 26,2026, I stopped here to make a purchase and to my dismay I developed car problems…read moreunexpectedly. I dispatched BMW Roadside service for a tow, and as I was waiting for a tow truck arrival, a female clerk walked out to my distressed vehicle and informed me to leave. She then stated if I don't leave within five minutes she will call the Walnut Creek Police. I informed her that my vehicle is inoperable and I am awaiting a tow truck arrival and the time of arrival is out of my hands. She repeatedly stated that she would call the Walnut Creek Police as she's only giving me twenty minutes more. My response was: " Call the police!" I have three receipts showing that I am a customer who made multiple store purchases. I then asked her: " what if you were stranded with an inoperable car, or better yet, what if your mother, father or other loved one were stranded, would you be ok if the situation were reversed?" She was an East African female who then walked away! I am in total disbelief that she would even make such a threat to me, especially since I am a Black American male stranded here in Walnut Creek, California as it's approaching 7:15pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suggestions: please have compassion and understanding for a customer whose vehicle is inoperable.

We visited on Saturday around 4:30pm. The place was buzzing with people, but didn't feel packed…read more Lots of people were hitting the need assistance button on the locked cabinets and staff were being paged. A lot of items are locked up. Thankfully the Vaseline lip balm that I needed wasn't one of them. Never being in the store before I was able to still quickly find the item I needed. My husband found some aftershave that he needed also. We were in and out in less then 10 minutes. There was no line at the self check register. We should have made 2 purchases as we could have had 25%off the second item using the coupons that spit out of the register when you complete a purchase. They even sell what appears to be handmade soaps. Located in a private lot next to All American Donuts and next to Noah's Bagels. There was plenty of parking.

Extremely Poor Service and Passing Off Responsibility…read more I had one of the most frustrating pharmacy experiences I've had at CVS. When I arrived, I waited in line about 10 minutes before reaching Jon at the counter. He told me my prescription wasn't there and directed me to go wait in the drop-off line. I did exactly that. The employee working the drop-off counter was on the phone for a very long time. I stood there waiting for at least another 15 minutes while she stayed on the call. During that entire time, Jon was no longer helping customers and could clearly see me standing there waiting. Eventually I walked back over and asked if anyone else behind the counter (there were five people working) could help me because I was on a time constraint. At that point John reluctantly checked the computer, but told me he might not be able to help because he only had five minutes before lunch. So after standing there for roughly 25-30 minutes, waiting where I was told to wait, I was essentially being told I might be out of luck because they were closing for lunch. In the end, Jon did finally look it up and discovered that my prescription had actually been sent to the wrong pharmacy, and advised me to go there instead. But the bigger issue is the complete lack of coordination and basic customer awareness. Multiple staff members were behind the counter, I was visibly waiting for a long time, and no one stepped in to help until I pushed for it. This level of disorganization and passing off responsibility in a pharmacy is pretty astounding.

This is a great pharmacy with very helpful staff. I highly recommend!…read moreI have been coming here for many years.

I absolutely dread coming to this place and today was the last time…read more Always a long line - it's confusing to "order" when there is NO "order" line, it's "consultation." I don't need a consultation, I just want my second batch of pills on my prescription. There is no one at any other window, just one super long line and you stand there for 20 minutes, when you finally get to the front, the lady first looks at my (hard copy) prescription and acts like she doesn't know what to do. Then tells me I need to go stand in the other "line" after I wasted 20 minutes. Every time I go here, they don't have my prescription and I ask my doctor, he shows me where he sent it (this has happened with two different doctors so it's not the doctor, it's this poorly run place). It's one of the worst run pharmacies I've ever been to in my life - and the people that work behind the counter absolutely could not care less. I hate to sound like one of those "in my day" people who whine about everything but it's true in this case - pharmacies used to have people who cared about the people coming in. This one just has people who want to get through the work day. They couldn't give an actual flying yahoo about any customer, they have the same attitude as a McDonald's worker. They act like they're being put out and the people in the (long) line are morons for using this pharmacy (perhaps that's true now in retrospect). They never have enough people working there and every time I come in, they come across as so ridiculously incompetent, you wonder if these people actually have the education to be working in pharmacy. Management at CVS will read this and laugh and go about their day. They don't care. Look at all the other reviews here. It's not just me, it's everyone. This is the last time I EVER step foot in a CVS. There is no reason for me to ever come to this or any other one ever again.
