La Jolla Chevron

Big, new, rebuilt gas station. Olga gives great customer service. Gas price is a tad high but what do you expect in La Jolla? The land is expensive and that’s what you’re paying a little more. Great beer and wine selection. Long time old school owner is cool.
Note on reviews below. The station has been rebuilt and that old grumpy lady no longer works there. She’s been gone for three years.
Olga is the manager. Talk to her if you need anything.

I was attending an event at the San Diego Museum of contemporary Art (09-​05-​2013) and needed gas. I came across this gas station while driving from the museum to the freeway. This gas station seemed to be the only gas station in the area so I was pretty stoked to see the lights on.
What more can you ask of a gas station? Pumps worked, seemed clean, gas pumps accepted credit /​ATM and produced receipts at the end of my purchase. This gas station had an ‘Extra-​mile’ food-​Mart attached which had all of your basic needs (i.e. food, candy, coffee, lottery, clean bathrooms).
This gas station is located on the corner La Jolla Blvd & Pearl St which happens to be semi major thoroughfares threw La Jolla. This gas station is easy to get in and easy to get out of and provides plenty of parking in case you want to walk inside the attached ‘Food-​mart.‘
This gas station also has an attached ‘car-​service’ center that was closed at the time I visited.

Its a gas station and an old one to boot… what can you say…

Unfriendly service. The air machine often doesn’t work. The lady behind the counter is surly and was unhelpful when I kept trying to explain that the air pump didn’t work. Finally she says, go use the air hose in one of the repair bays. So I drove over to the repair bays and the Chevron repair guy points down at the hose on the ground and says, «use this» with a snarl and walks away. What would have been NICE is if he’d said «Hi, need help with your air? Here, let me do it» or something friendly. Instead, the whole experience at this Chevron was one of rudeness, unfriendliness, and a «get lost» attitude on the part of the employees.
