Chevron Gas Station

If I could give this place something lower than one star, I would.
The day after Thanksgiving 2015, my girlfriend and I drove up from Los Angeles for a weekend in Mammoth. At the last minute we realized, due to inclement weather conditions, that Mammoth was requiring vehicles to wear chains on the tires of all vehicles visiting that weekend. We stopped at the Chevron Mammoth Lakes to check our tire pressure and put on our tire chains, but also to see if there were any tire cables for sale that might be easier to affix, as neither of us had ever needed to put chains on our tires before.
The gas station itself was perfectly fine. The usual — snacks, trinkets, etc. The air pressure hose lacked a gauge, so it was effectively useless for us. We wound up spending $ 2 to buy a tire gauge from the gas station.
Most egregiously, one of the clerks at the station was unable to find tire cables for our tire size. Not to worry, he said. «We probably have some in stock in the back.» He disappeared. We waited.
Meanwhile, our friends who had also driven up from L.A. separately were at the Napa Auto Parts store next door checking for chains/​cables for their car. Thirty minutes later, they returned to join us. The clerk was nowhere to be found, and we were quite frustrated until our friend mentioned that she had seen him in the Napa Auto Parts store. According to their employee there, the Chevron Mammoth Lakes guy does this regularly — claims he has something in stock but just goes next door, buys it, then marks it up to nearly three times as much money to sell it to unsuspecting visitors left waiting in the shitty gas station. What originally cost us $ 60 at Walmart would have cost $ 180 thanks to this jerk trying to make a buck.
In short — avoid this gas station at all costs.

Recently moved to town and I have a weak little Honda Civic hybrid that I just drove up from San Diego a couple weeks ago. I stopped in for some coffee, the staff is always very nice and welcoming towards me. (I’ve made this my main stop) Lots of bad reviews but I’ve had nothing but wonderful service here. Today my car had an insane amount of solid ice built up around my tires and I went in looking for something to break it off with. The men in the garage were amazingly helpful (Karl) and offered to help chip it for me. I REALLY wish I had some cash to tip them): I appreciate it guys!

I’ve actually had the same issue with this Chevron Station. My episode started May 9^th, Saturday morning approximately 9:30 am or so. Was in town getting cleaning supplies nea

DO NOT PURCHASE DIESEL FUEL HERE.
I live in town and my brand new 2015 diesel SUV broke down in the middle of the highway soon after filling up with fuel from this station. The dealer determined that it was due to contaminated fuel. The fuel was full of water, sediment and algae which created a major vehicle malfunction with a repair estimate of over $ 15k. As of today, I still do not have my vehicle back from repairs as it did that much damage. It’s now been over a month.
The gas station referred me to their insurance company who have been using stall tactics and intimidation techniques.
After doing a little bit of research, I have found that I am not the first /​only person that this has happened to, even recently. Since then, complaints have been filed with every government agency possible along with the EPA and Chevron Corporate. I have also learned that the Dept of Agriculture and BBB have received multiple complaints about this station.
While it might not happen to everyone, it does happen. Might have to do with the timing of when the gas is filled by the tankers or if it has rained recently. Don’t risk it …
And if this has happened to you, please message me as I will add you to the list.

I bought about 12 gallons of diesel fuel at this station on June 7, 2015 and drove my truck a half a mile to our campground. The engine would not start the next morning and I had to have the truck towed to a diesel mechanic. We found that the tank was full of dirty water that did not smell or look like diesel gas. The mechanic had to pump the entire tank of gas out and it took several hours to clear the water out of the system and injectors. I was told that the same thing had happened several times before with bad fuel coming from this gas station and that the owner does not admit that his diesel fuel is contaminated. Please also take a look at reviews on Google regarding other recent complaints about their fuel.
WARNING: Do not buy diesel fuel at this station.

Good gas station. Has other services and some food.

Gawd forbid if your car breaks down especially out here. It would be like being stuck on an island I suppose. They do have a full service garage and mechanic.
