United Oil 76

The workers here are rude and thoughtless. They had 3 – 4 people waiting at the cashier line and continued to change the sign on the corner. They act like they are doing us a favor by working here. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this here. Whoever owns this had station should wake up!!!

Updated review ! Maria from guest services messaged me. She offer a free car wash to compensate for the other car wash. She informed me that there was a problem with the car wash machine the day I got it. I went after work today. Definitely a huge difference today.
Always get my gas here because it is good quality and cheap. I usually purchase the car wash too but after today, I’m no longer going to do that. See picture attach below. I paid for the deluxe wash. My car didn’t even looked like it was wash. Was going to say something but there was a long line for the window and I had to get on the freeway before traffic hits. Just purchase gas, skip the car wash.

I used to get my gas here because of how conveniently close it is to my house and their prices were lower than Chevron’s (Chevron has always been better IMHO) down the street. However, what kills this gas station for me is that the place is always surrounded with crackheads and crazy people in general – especially at night so beware of that if you MUST stop here. The employees always seem unhappy and don’t have great customer service skills. I mean they work at a gas station so who could blame them but if you work somewhere, you might as well make the best of it. There is no shame in taking pride in your work regardless of what your profession is.

After my first review, I have received an apology message from their customer service department. Honestly, I am very very impressed! I hope there will be more smiles from the employees at my favorite gas station.

Purchased gas with car wash on ⁵⁄₂. The car wash code 21 640 expires ⁶⁄₂. Today is ⁶⁄₂. Came here to wash, but machine says CODE INVALID, went window asked clerk (Jamie) what is happening? He first «it is expired» I explained that receipt clearly states expires on 06/​01/​2015! He then said «I can not do anything only manager can, come tomorrow» ??? WTH??? So for this incompetent service, I have to come back tomorrow? Hell NO! This will be the LAST VISIT TO THIS STATION FOR ME!!!

I always come to this carwash and get the Works because it would leave my car looking shine and clean but not this time. Free spot BS. It left my car full of water spots everywhere. When I told the cashier (Angelica) she said that the machine was new and that was the best it could do. So I guess I’m not coming back to this car wash ever again.

This is one of the gas stations I fill up at but not the cheapest it’s mostly conveinent for me on my way home from work. Good amount of pumps but it can get busy and trying to enter in from Western Ave can be tricky cause of the busy street at times occasional people honking at you cause your sticking out of the driveway while waiting in line when it’s crowded. Anyways this one is my number two fill up station cause of the price and it also doesn’t reduce the price when using the 76 card like the one on Hawthorne and Torrance Blvd. and the one on Crenshaw and Sepulveda where you get the reduced price when using your 76 card.

Worst car wash ever. Got the works wash and it was equivalent to their basic wash. Didn’t even remove the little dirt I had on my car. I guess you get what you paid for. I had to pull over after exiting to dry it off because the two times that it went over it didnt dry a damn thing. and man, it was disgusting, it just made it look dirtier with the streaks of dirt. Gross. My kids live going through it, but it’s worth it to pay $ 5 more to get it done right. What a rip off.

76 gas out front. There seems to be two entries for this place, one that matches what is seen without knowing the exact address, and the one you find on the receipt if get one.
Usually find gas prices here lower than others for same quality.

I give this place a one star only for Paula the crasher attendant that works there. Unfriendly bitter and rude, if you don’t like your job I suggest not taking it out on your customers.

2.5 stars. Competitive gas prices (I guess that depends on the market price) and a car wash caught my attention as I was in need of both fuel and a wash. On that day, the standard price per gallon for regular gasoline was something like $ 3.79, or $ 3.69 with purchase of a car wash. However, there was some malfunction with the gas pump so it did not give me the lower per gallon price that would come with the car wash. Basically, the computer didn’t give the car wash option and rang me up the regular price. I ended up paying for the car wash separately.
The car wash is brushless/​no-​touch, so basically lots of high-​pressure sprayers going back and forth, all automated,. Some folks prefer brushless/​no-​touch to car wash tunnels with brushes or «mops», but I wonder if the sprayers are any gentler on existing wax and/​or the paint’s clearcoat finish. (Think of a high-​pressure deck cleaner or paint stripper. Ouch!) A deluxe wash ran just short of 6 minutes. The blowers do a mediocre job of drying, so best to carry some rags to finish it off by hand.
Verdict: great if the gas pumps could give the carwash option and actually charge the discounted per gallon price. Car wash, while not ideal, is nice to have as an option. Somewhere between «A-​OK» and «Meh. I’ve experienced better», with a slight inclination to the latter.

Union 76 gas seems to be a decent quality of gas that comes cheaper than the top tier stuff in the area and this one usually is the lower priced of the area. The BS of a 10 cent off with purchase of a car wash is annoying as hell.
Speaking of the car wash… I would not use it. I have a black vehicle. After I used the drive thru wash I noticed a very bad film like cover on my paint… like it didn’t get enough rinse water, or the soap concentrate was too strong. This happened twice and after each visit it required completely waxing my vehicle to get the shine back. Ill gas up, but pass on the wash.
None of the employees in the booth graduated from charm school, so don’t expect quality customer service (least of all a smile or sincere thank you).

Underbody wash is finally fixed

This is on ok gas station. Prices are decent, nothing is usually broken or grody. The employees are pretty much unsociable, so don’t expect much from them. Pretty safe area even super late at night. From here you can see if the Happy Cup Ramen truck is making its late night stop by the Toyota dealer down the street ;)
(Soap Box Venting: I’m offended by the car wash and non car wash price these days from all of these gas stations, and this is no exception. What a crock of BS when they give you a cheaper than market price for the gas, but then you have to buy a car wash, so you really aren’t saving any money.)
Overall though, the car wash here is pretty good. It doesn’t really touch your car, and it does a pretty decent job. Good for touch up washing between real washings =D Expect to wait for up to 20 – 30 minutes if there is a line — usually there are a lot of people getting washes during the morning and afternoon.
They have diesel so that’s a great thing if you have the need for that.
Apparently they have some kind of good pricing for cigarettes because I see a boatload of people stopping here just for cigarettes and nothing else. I have no idea since I don’t smoke. Why the hell do people smoke anyways??? ugh that’s some bad stuff man, y’all should quit and save yourself some money while you are at it!
I don’t know if they have any food or snacks since I use the cc swipe thing at the pump and never go to the window.
Watch out if you have a problem with your car wash ticket or it doesn’t work, the jerks in the window won’t believe you and you will have to argue a LOT to get a refund or replacement. So lame considering the washes don’t really cost them much of anything and they are making a killing on them.
Close to home so this is a regular stop for me due to convenience.
