Morro Bay Mobil

Sure there are 3 gas stations right next to each other. How do you decide? Do you have a favorite that you go back to every time you drop by Morro Bay? The truth is that they all have nice facilities. There is a Valero that is generally 2 cents cheaper but rest of the time they are all the same price. They all have working machines that work quickly. Drop in get your gas and move on!

While visiting CA… We stopped here at the Morro Mobil for diesel fuel … Used the ‘green’ handle pump for diesel fuel and put $ 80 in our tank. We pulled out and within a few minutes our truck was knocking terribly. We were sure we had gotten bad gas. We made it to the closest town with diesel and topped off .just trying to make it back to Visalia… where we were staying. We took our truck to the Ford dealership in Visalia and they told us there was regular gas in the tank! They are trying to save our engine ($ 1000) by flushing & a new fuel filter… but not sure yet. After talking to manager at the Morro Mobil on duty the next day… He implied that we had put regular gas in our diesel truck. That did not happen! My husband & I were both at this pump and it was a green handle diesel pump! We are going to report this incident to the state. What a sad & costly ending to a very pleasant visit to CA. It’s left us with a very bad memory and will deter a future visit. Customers beware! It’s one star because I had no other choice! It should be none… No one there cares!

I just used Morro Bay Mobil’s automatic car wash, and it damaged my passenger side mirror (which had been folded back to protect it). Apparently the brush mechanisms were too strong. I went to the clerk and explained, and was told: «It says ‘at your own risk’, so there is nothing that can be done.» I then asked to see the manager, and she went into an adjacent room to talk to him, and then told me «He is unavailable, so if you need to talk to him, come back tomorrow». I had seen the manager in the store a few moments before, and he clearly could have been «available» if he were willing to speak to me. I told the clerk they had just lost a long term customer (I had been going there for fuel for a decade).
If I were to venture a guess, this mirror problem has happened at Morro Bay Mobil before. The car is a VW EOS, and the mirror is similar to that used on many passenger cars.

DO NOT USE THEIR CAR WASH.
I wanted a refund after the car wash broke down on me, and the store clerk, Elizabeth, was one of the most cranky, nasty persons I have ever met. She kept refusing to refund me, telling me it’s not the gas stations fault, but the car in front of me. Here’s what happened:
The car in front of me finished with the wash, but the message board kept telling him to stay there. Then it kept telling him to back up. Eventually, the machine started back up again, at which point he left. The machine never gave him a green light to go — that’s why I think it’s the machine’s fault, not his.
After the car in front of me left, I drove into the wash area but the machine stopped and it would not start up, I then backed up and tried to re-​enter my code. It wouldn’t take it.
I tell all of this to the clerk, and she keeps asking me, «and why is this our fault?» and «I can only give you another code, I can’t give you a refund without the manager.» She kept blaming the car in front of me for using my code, and that he shouldn’t have backed up, and I kept telling her that the machine told him to do so, it never told him to leave the area.
Eventually she did give me a refund. I didn’t want to come back to a faulty car wash and waste another 20 minutes of my day. She left me with this final zinger, «Just don’t come back again since you don’t like our car wash.» No apologies. No admission to guilt.
She did admit that this was a common problem and many others have asked for a refund for the same issue. They really need to fix this problem rather than blame the users.

Cheapest gas in the area, and conveniently located off the 101. First time paying $ 3.699 for premium gas in a long time. A must before setting off on the Pacific Coast Highway.
