Chevron

i live close by, come here for gas once in a while even though its usually 20 cents more than other places
this morning i am late to work and empty on gas, stop here, put in 1^st credit card doesnt work, i see the attendant messing with another stall, i try another card didnt work, chased down the attandent who went back inside to say oh the satellites are down and we cant take cash
you should have told people while you were outside
also there are huge bumps in the ground which will cause your car to bottom out
wasted my time won’t be back dont go here

I brought my car to Town Center Car Wash in Rancho Santa Margarita to get it hand washed for the first time in a long time and they succeeded in making it clean. Their wash rates are reasonable and the attendants and cashiers are always very thorough, and the facilities are fairly well maintained.
Never had a problem with a slow gas pump while filling up; if there is time to spare then I suggest entering the store to view the small history exhibit of RSM in the walkway, purchase a Little Tree, then go grab some popcorn and watch others pace in circles as they wait for their automobiles go through the wash line… Spent the better half of a Saturday morning doing just this. Yay! I’m a fan.

Slowest pumps I’ve ever used! Took me 12 minutes to pump 3 gallons of gas. Don’t ever go here if you’re in a rush!

This gas station is pretty convenient, but it can get really packed.
There is also a car wash here, however I have never used it.
The gas prices seem fairly consistent with the going rate…
There is only one way out of the gas station, and you have to cross a double yellow line to turn left… never knew if that was illegal or not, but it doesnt give you much of a choice :)

Slowest goddamn pumps in the world. Been standing here for 5 minutes now and still not even a gallon has filled my tank. This is the second time now.
Guy just pulled up across me and asked if my pump was slow, too. Poor guy took off after 3 minutes in disgust. There’s a lady on the other side that’s probably been standing there for 20 minutes.
Get your shit straight, Chevron. No one wants to spend 2 hours filling up their tank at 5 in the morning. Had this been LA, I could’ve been mugged. Luckily in Rancho, I only have girl scouts and their psychotic mothers to worry about.
Switched over to Arco after wasting 10 minutes pumping 1.2 gallons. Was able to pump in 9 gallons within 2 minutes. Yeah, bitch. And Arco’s receipt prints out faster, too. Bite me, Chevron.

Chevron advertises that their car wash is open until 5pm. I arrived at 4:45 and the employees had already closed down the wash and refused to take my car. When I addressed the issue with the manager, he simply shrugged his shoulder and maintained the wash was closed. The chevron employees could not have cared less about me as a customer. I will take my business somewhere else from now on.

Came here to fill air in my tires. The employees here were really nice and turned on the air for me. They also offered to fill my tires for me, but I told them I could do it myself. I usually come to this Chevron whenever I need gas in RSM. great and convenient location!

I like this Chevron. They have a great location at the corner of Santa Margarita Parkway and Buena Suerte. They are very easy to pull in and out of with two entrances and exits. Surprisingly there are many gas stations at poor locations that either have only one way in and out or just hard to pull out of because of poor visibility or crazy traffic. This one never gets crazy busy and I can always pull in to fill up my tank and head out without many problems. Sometimes there are lots of cars getting their washes and waxing, but they’re always lined up on the sides and out of the gas pumper’s way.
I also like the fact that no one has ever approached me here to sell me a product or two. I never realized that attendants do that at gas stations now. Quite frustrating, if you ask me. I already have to dodge solicitors at the Mall, my front door and on the phone and now at the gas stations. Ugh.
I will definitely be back!
