Del Amo Mobil

Sandoval tried to be a nice guy and personable, but when I took my car in to get smog checked, he quoted me $ 100. After I confronted that saying, the advertisement on the banner says $ 39.99, he says, «Okay, I’ll do it for you for $ 53». I asked him why he was overcharging and he said, «You have a big car».
He then continued to say while laughing, «If you were a guy and I told you $ 100, they would punch me in the face. But, sometimes I can say this to girls and they will pay it.»
Although I continued with the service for $ 53 dollars, I will not be back at this station again. This is horrible business. I will also be contacting the state certification board regarding this unethical and sexist way of handling smog checks.

This location has some of the cheapest gas in the area which, with all the commuting I have to do for work, is a Godsend.
However, 2 complaints. First, they have a mechanic on site which can be a good thing for some people, but they often cram a lot of cars just outside the shop which means it can be difficult to get out of their if the pumps are busy. Secondly, the Paramound Blvd./Del Amo intersection can be very busy and backed up at certain hours of the day. I often need to make a left onto Paramount which means I’m stuck in the driveway of the station for several light cycles before I can get out.

On our way back from our dessert run, my unnie and I decided to stop by and pick up some smokes.
We came to this Mobil and had a good laugh with our purchase! :)
She bought the Menthol Green Top 72’s while I bought their 2 pack Marlboro Lights 72’s for $ 5.75 (for 2!). The guy didn’t card her but carded me and that started a conversation! hahaahhaaha.
Nice, friendly employee and a good time while picking up some stoggies. 4 stars from me! :)
