Linda Vista Gas & Auto Repair

DONT PUMP YOUR GAS HERE! OWNER IS RUDE AND A SCAMMER! The reason the gas is cheaper here is because the pumps are broken and don’t give you the amount of gas it says you paid for. My odometer didn’t move after putting in 2 gallons and the pump crapped out on me and wouldn’t let me put in more. I told the owner of the station, some rude Russian guy that said I was trying to scam him when I politely asked for a refund or for him to look at the pump. I drive a Lexus dude, I’m not trying to scam you how dare you say that! So then he wanted me to prove his pump was broken which I DID when I tried to fill my tank completely and it still didn’t even reach ¾ full and wouldn’t let me pump anymore. He was rude, dishonest, and doesn’t deserve a dime of your money. Get your pumps upgraded like all the other chevrons buddy or you’re going to go out of business. I’m writing this review out of principle that I appreciate honesty.

I wouldn’t give them a star if I had that option. First of all read these reviews before going here. They are all legit. All I did was go to get my oil changed and they messed up so bad. First of all, my car uses 6.5 quarts. They only put in 5. I went to go check my oil and the dip stick was gone. When I went back to tell them, he denied it and said they would never do that. So I was forced to argue with him to order me one. When I finally got it, I went to put it in and the missing dipstick was not missing it was broken off inside. When I went back into the shop to show him he was very upset and speaking a different language to the other employee. He got it out and started saying that I need to pay for it. When I told him no, absolutely not, and that I was very upset that this had even happened in the first place. He said «Well then you go somewhere else next time and don’t come back here.»
Trust me I will. I will never be back.

This is an awesome body shop. About 8 years ago my ex wife and I would get our cars repaired here because they did good work, car was always ready when they said it would be, and the quote was always spot on, before tax.
I know live back in the area with my new girl friend and she needed a break job. I call around to all other repair shops and they quoted as much if not more than the dealership. Aho is the mechanic here and he is awesome.
If you need a good reliable place to get your car fixed. (We had our Acura MDX fixed here). This place will take good care if you and not rip you off.

What a scam!
First of all, this place charges .50 cents for a debit card. O_​o
Secondly, make sure to pay attention when choosing fuel grade because either the owner doesn’t believe in number «hierarchy» or he is trying to scam people in a hurry.
The fuel grade is out of order on the system so while i was in a rush i payed for premium gas at 4.25 when I was supposed to pay 4.09.
Of course when I mentioned the confusion to the owner he went on a rage, claiming it was my fault.
I don’t know about you, but I like my numbers in ascending order and I will definitely be going out of my way to NEVER come here again.

They charge for using a card and take 4 days to refund it

I just had to mention this place!
At the gas pumps, there’s a sign that’s typed up and taped next to the credit card scan thing. It reads «If you are paying with cash, debit, or credit, please pay first at the cashier.»
What other methods are there to pay? Hilarious.
Also, the gas pumps don’t have the big shady canopies that newer gas stations have. Potentially sucky for rainy days.
The gas is priced reasonably and they do auto repairs too, but I can’t comment on that since I have never gotten my car serviced by them. Also, the Russian man at the cash register was very nice and courteous. Points for that.
Lastly, I guess I can see myself gassing up here on my way to pick up a K Sandwich for lunch to bring back to work. There’s really no other reason to drive out of my way for this place. Then again, why would you ever drive out of your way to get gas when there’s always a gas station nearby?
