Chevron

Notable improvement as of late. I will admit, the owner is A master of carrot-​stick psychology, adjusting prices a notch lower than competitors, then keeping it higher as others lower theirs.
By now, he has captured his clientele. Really, the owner is a skillful manipulator, however, he runs a tight ship. .. lately.

Gas is a little pricey. Employees are solid. Food is over priced. Car wash sucks. like bad. But hey it’s a gas station.

Car Wash is horrible. A few years ago it was excellent, but now even you purchase a deluxe wash ($ 8), the car after washing looks even worse than before. The sprays do not cover all the car sides, not mentioning the top. There is no waxing even it was listed for deluxe wash. The blowers also do not cover all the sides, so the car gets out almost completely wet. Even drops are left on the windows, which if you do not wipe out right away leave stains when they dry out.
See the attached picture with the dirt left after deluxe was.
I fully agree with another reviewer that you should avoid this trap.
Too bad, because the rest of the gas station looks ok.

Brian was really awesome, he was friendly when I went in to pay for gas, and because I told him that I would likely be back for change as I was just trying to gauge how much I needed to fill my tank up, on my way back inside he already had my receipt and change ready in hand. Helped make my evening after a long day that much smoother. Awesome customer service Brian, thank you!

This is a convenient place to get gas. Although I found it a bit annoying that inside of the store the items do not have price tags on them. Also they do not offer cash back, but they do have an ATM inside.

Unlike other reviewers I have not had problems with the employees here. My main reason for coming here is not to buy gas or to buy «things» in the convenience store, but to get the propane tanks for my BBQ filled. The employees are consistently polite and I have never had to wait for more than two or three minutes for someone to fill my tanks. For me this is important, because as far as I know this is the only place that fills propane tanks in Del Cerro.
Went there today and the manager saw me take the tank out of my car and he immediately offered to fill it for me. Total time elapsed from pulling in the station and leaving after getting the tank filled and paying, less than five minutes. Total cost for 4 gallons of Propane $ 13.50. Don’t know if that’s a good price or not, but it’s very, very convenient for me.

It’s a gas station, folks. There’s one of these on every corner. Nothing to write home about. They sell gas, it has Techron… whatever that is. It has a convenience store with junk food, drinks and all the other stuff you find at a gas station mart. They have stations at the pump so you can clean your windshield while you fill up. That’s nice. It’s across from Windmill Farms and it is next to/​across the street from a crossfit gym.
There really isn’t much more to it than that. Come here to «Fill ‘er up».

Gas station pumping area is usually clean and well lit. Prices are some of the highest in the area. Inside market is well stocked with the usual. Employees run the range from being very polite and upbeat to sloth-​like and unenthusiastic.
Biggest gripe: Air pump is set for people to pay $ 1 for 4 mins. of air. .. which, by CA state law, is FREE! Go into the store and ask them to turn on the machine. The pump company (and I’ve gotta believe this local Chevron owner as well) is making money off of people who do not know the state law and drop a dollar (or use a credit card — how convenient) into the machine. Seems quite unscrupulous. Not cool at all!

Stopped here for fuel and a wash. Be sure to bring a towel to dry after the wash. My car is a compact and it didn’t get even close to dry in the amount of time that was given. Luckily I did have a towel and the time to dry it by hand after the wash.

Effort to save money, I stopped going to Starbucks every morning. This Chevron is right around the corner from where I do a lot of business. Everyone who works there is extremely friendly in the morning. The coffee is always fresh. I am a huge fan of the chocolate macadamia nut coffee with one packet of sweet and low. The store is also very clean. I also make it a Point to only get chevron gas. It seems that I get better gas mileage with it. I am not sure if it is just my imagination or the truth.

Too bad about its location but it’s clean well lit and plenty of pumps. Last time I went these guys were walking around washing windows I think they were looking to promote their business of filling window cracks. Kind of annoying but overall but decent spot to go

I get my car washed here cuz it’s touchless, does a decent job and only if I am in the area.
Gas prices are alittle high but not bad considering other parts of town is worst.
Warning, if you have aftermarket wheels, go slow over the wheel sensor and you’ll be fine.

been here toooo many times ahhhh

I usually come to this gas station because of its convenient location. I use to go to ARCO on the corner of University and College but it’s just way too ghetto.
What like about this particular station is that it’s in a good area so there’s less likely to be creepos and what not. And I’ve sinced converted to using Chevron gas only too for the past few years because it has Techron ^_​^ Techron cleans your engine!
I’m only taking a star off because there’s a chevron in the clairemont mesa area on Mercury and another one on Balboa Ave. that is always slightly cheaper than this location.

This is the closest gas station to my parents’ place, so when I find my self in need of some gas after leaving the old ‘hood, I stop here.
The gas prices are about what you’d expect in a nice area: a dime or so more for the same stuff that you get a mile down the road in Allied Gardens.
The service though… Horrible. Every attendant has at least a day or two of facial hair on his cheeks, his Chevron polo shirt untucked, his blue Dickie’s thigh high and some stupid ass «I don’t wanna be here, but my mom won’t let me live in her basement if I don’t give her at least $ 200/​month» look on his face.
F*ck guys! I know you you’re 23 and you work at a gas station, but come on!
Daryl — Get on your sh*t! I know you have the only station within a two mile radius, but that’s no excuse. I think it’s time your team reviewed the «Chevron Customer Service» VHS tape another time or three before they clock in again…

Pretty silly to review a gas station but here it goes.
1. They stock a gang variety of Jones Soda;
2. They consistently have someone available to pump propane to fill the bbq tank;
3. Staff is friendly and seem happy to be there;
4. Always clean;
5. Del Cerro Liquor with anywhere from 6 to 10 beers on tap is located right across the street (this is not an advocation for gassing up, drinking and driving).
Not someplace to go out of your way for but should you live in the area, hell, I don’t even need to write this, you already know.

Super friendly staff. Very clean. Best gas station I’ve ever been to! Jean was one of the most personable workers I’ve ever encountered!

Other than my house and my office, it’s the place I probably frequent most often-​since I have a non-​eco friendly gas-​guzzling SUV. It also helps that it is close to both house and work. I’m sure between my wife and I we’ve put the owner’s entire family through college and grad school by now.
This place has seen quite a bit of change over the years. When I was a kid, the entire station sat on a hill in the middle of the lot and there were pumps on two sides and a service bay in back for car repairs. In the corner where the convenience store sits presently was a Speedee Mart (became 7 – 11 later for all you kids.) Some time later, the turned the convenience store into a multi-​bay repair shop and most recently they ditched auto repairs in favor of expanding the gas pumps. The auto bays have been returned to a convenience store and they added an automatic carwash at the south end of the lot.
Their gas prices are pretty reasonable. Sometimes they are lower than elsewhere but they are never substantially higher than other places. The coffee is hot and decent and most of the time the Icee machine is working. My kids love to come for Icees on a hot summer day. They have greasy little egg sandwiches in mornings and hot dogs at lunch. There is a refrigerator case with beer, sodas and sandwiches-​typical convenience store stuff.
I use the car wash not infrequently. If your car is really dirty, I suggest you put the $ 8 toward a real car wash. This thing is good if there is a light coat of dust you want to remove and are in a rush but it seldom removes road tar and if the dirt is heavy, it kinda just smudges it around the car.
At one time we had three stations on that block-​Shell, Texaco and Chevron. All in all, I think the best man survived.

i haven’t been driving for too long, but i just come here since it’s closest. i had no idea how to take the cap off to put gas in the first time i went to get gas, and the helper guy in the mini-​mart saw my pitiful self and helped me out. haha. they have these «freezers», this slushie drink, and i’m in love with it. its super cheap, like $ 1.50. also, the soda fountain is the cheapest in town. my friends and i used to just bike down here since it’s in the middle of everything, like windmill farms, madra liquor, and sdsu is right down the street. its in the center of a pretty nice upscale residential community, and the gas prices are fine. yep, its my friends’ hangout spot, i like it.
