Good Point Gasoline

I have had nothing but good experiences with Hector & the work he does. At times I have had my car towed there after I took it somewhere else & he has fixed my car & saved me a lot of money & time. He is fair & I trust him to do a good job & a reasonable price. I have a Volvo & he has done everything from rewiring so my radio works to oil changes & larger issues. I’m a loyal customer for about 7 years.

This station is different. The gas is owned separately from the repair shop. Hector is the owner of the repair shop and has been there over 10 years — working on my cars. He can handle quite a range of cars — from my old 71 VW van to newer cars and has kept my cars break down free. Always. I really appreciate how he juggles so many cars to work on and manages to get it all done. This week he replaced a broken windshield, changed all fluids, put on new tires, replaced motor mounts, brakes and shocks. The price hurts — but it was fair for all that my car needed. I am not the best at keeping up on maintenance, but he makes up for it.

This should come up under auto repair because its much more than a gas station. Luckily, Hector and I arrived at the same coffee shop around the same time last week when he helped me push my car aside (I was struggling) He told me he had a shop down the road and with his quick service and reasonable prices, he helped a sister out. Thanks again !

I’ve been taking my car to Hector for something like 10 years now. He’s always been helpful and honest. For most of that time he was the manager of the auto shop, though somewhat recently (maybe a year ago?) he bought the business from the owner.
Anyway, Hector’s a good dude.

If I could, I would cause a massive explosion to blow up my previous review.
As «the times they are a-​changin» and I should have noted the words of the great Bob Dylan in that «the loser now will be later to win».
Nearly a year has passed and the price for regular unleaded at Good Point Gasoline is $ 3.65! The price advertised is the price you will pay… no gimmicks such as advertising a remarkable price on a roadside sign only to find out that is a «cash only» amount once you’ve pulled in and started pumping. I have been hoodwinked this scheme, and will never allow it to happen again.
Another Good Point: no fee for using a card. credit/debit.no matter. no additional fees will be incurred. Which I sincerely appreciate given these days, while women’s purses have expanded to the size of a suitcase and wallets have shrunk (some to the size of a business card), not many I know carry a ton of cash on their person. Well, unless one has plans to «make it rain».
At this point in time, I am noticing gas prices swiftly climbing severely close to $ 4.00/gallon.especially those with little to no competition close. Good Point Gasoline has kept their pricing fair despite their location.
Lesson learned: «.don’t criticize what you can’t understand».

The rich people that make a million dollars a year at a Law Firm downtown don’t care about the price of gas here in Point Loma. They probably have a car allowance anyway and then write it off on their taxes.
Good Point used to be a Union 76 station and then Good Point took over.
It is not as high-​priced as the previous Unilocaler would lead you to believe, and just a few cents higher than the other gas stations further down Rosecrans. They sell snacks inside and have a small fix-​it garage where probably the old lady matrons of Point Loma bring their late model Mercedes for tune-​ups.
It is nice that the La Playa section has a small gas station for emergencies. There is a Point Loma Moped store right around the corner from Good Point and I bet it is very convenient for that store to be within stumbling distance of some good gas.
