Northridge Union 76 & Test Only Smog Center

Pretty sure I’ve never said this about a gas station, but this place smelled REALLY nice. Also, friendly service, very clean store, serene music playing, and solid A/​C blasting on a 102° day. Can’t ask for more than that from a gas station.

i purchased 2 gallons of propane from this place and the place ripped me off. the f****ng guy charged me $ 19.84 for 2 gallons when a gallon was priced @ 3.67 or something. apperantly there was a service charge of about $ 10-​$ 15. do not, i repeat, do not buy propane at this 76. go to balboa brick off of balboa and roscoe (in front of home depot) where each gallon is only $ 2.00 with no such thing as service charge.

My thought to write this had me wondering if people ever really wrote reviews on Service Stations, and the service I received left me knowing that I would.
I have to first say that I don’t live in the area of this Service Station and was only in the area with my kids taking them to lunch and a movie. I began my journey on 6÷24÷2011 going into this Service Station for a much needed fill up of petro. I was greeted by the attendant Bo who provided me with friendly and efficient service for my gas purchase. Bo also assisted me with directions for another place I was looking for on my journey.
Much later in the afternoon after picking up my kids from a luncheon and a movie I needed to use the restroom facilities and decided to go back into the Service Station before heading home. As I approached the door to the service station I was greeted yet again by Bo and a new face, whom I have learned was the Mgr. Rashad.
My second trip around is why I decided I had to write this review, to say Thank you! As Rashad opened the door to the station, he greeted me with a smile. There was a sign on the restroom door that indicated that it was out of service. I asked Rashad if I could use the facilities and he said absolutely… and that he would knock the wall down for me. Upon my departure, I purchased three soft drinks and Rashad assisted me with this. He was very complimentary and gave me the best smile. We ended our transaction with a friendly neighborly hug!
I don’t know about you, but I have never felt led to hug a manager of a Service Station. Not saying this doesn’t happen, but this was a first for me. Upon walking to my car, I thought to myself… I have never been in a Service Station and received such warmth and love. I live 20 minutes from this Service Station and from the service I received, I would actually go outta my way every time I need gas to visit this location. Thanks Rashad for adding such bliss to my day!
Thanks for being the Neighborhood Service Station on the corner of Tampa and Nordhoff St.
I also have to add… I really was in disbelief of the attentive treatment I received and mentioned this to Bo the attendant… His response summed it up in one sentence.
«Yeah, we are the neighborhood station and everyone who comes through our doors is treated like our neighbor.»
