"Hands down the best gas station and mechanic shop combo I've ever visited! The fuel prices are always competitive, and the convenience of having a mechanic shop right on-site is a total game changer. I had a tire issue while filling up, and the mechanic was quick to help me out. They were professional, courteous, and didn't try to upsell me unnecessary services. The repair was done promptly and at a very fair price. I’m so impressed with the level of service here—whether you need gas or a quick fix for your car, this place has it all. Highly recommend!"
Very good service, quite a few recommended
Not recommended for smogs. They are not willing to check if all the modules are set before doing the smog, this literally takes 1 min. They said if it fails for whatever reason even if is for the modules not being set you pay full price and there is not free re-test. They went from friendly to not friendly when I decided not to do it. Bad customer service.
Worst shop I’ve ever encountered. Charged 2x for a brake inspection! Over 100.00 each time. Please watch out for this shop and think twice before you get your car fixed or inspected. They will take advantage and find excuses so they can charge you more and more and more………… All shops have that intension to ensure the safety of the vehicles you are servicing or inspecting. The difference is that you are doing business with the intention of taking advantage of your customers. I went to another shop and the inspections passed with flying colors. The Better Business Bureau need to know how you operate your business - that is without honesty and integrity.
Dont go here for SMOG. I called, got a "qoute" for my vehicle, when I get there they said, "oh that will cost more". Not only that, they dont do free retests where as most place do. Plenty of other options within 2-3 miles. Go elsewhere.
Thanks to Dave and Corey for getting my 1970 Camaro back on the road. I have a ton of after market parts on this car it's hard to find a shop that even knows what a carburetor is any more let alone will touch an "updated" classic for a reasonable price. The highest recommendation for these guys, they can fix what you need fixing. Very easy to work with. Didn't nickel and dime me.. just made it right. I will definitely be coming back for future projects...
My go to for smog check. I called at 8am to book an appointment and 30 minutes later I had a pass and on my way home. Very kind and friendly front mechanic. I can’t say enough good things about these guys. Price $80 but you definitely get what you pay for. Fast friendly service.
We take all of our family cars here for service—from high end cars to our kids cars. Dave the owner is honest and helpful with options on what to do with our cars depending on the issues we are having. Also love that I can drop off and pick up the cars during the gas station hours vs regular car service hours.
excellent service, 100% recommended
Excellent Service
Friendly people
Great Customer service day in day out..
Walk in for a smog check, 20 minutes later done, Fast Friendly service.
Overcharge, rude, did my smog incorrectly and wont admit they made a mistake.
Went in for a tire plug. They had it done in 30 minutes, and he filled up my washer fluid!
Customer service is ridiculous this place is weird not to mention they gouge on gas prices! I was refused service after the old mechanic dude told me my car smelled like Pot .
Manager is inexperienced and extremely rude ! Much better shops in the area .
hope the gas price will get lower....
I bought a nissan quest van and took it for a smog check and brake and lamp inspection and they told me that the control arm was welded and that it was very dangerous they also kindly showed me other details that had to be changed immediately for my safety and the cost for the repairs was a bit high because it was a lot of things and the man I bought the vehicle from agreed to pay a part and I was super happy with the work of the guys in the workshop, my truck is in perfect condition and the best thing was that they worked very quickly to deliver it to me 100% recomended
Clean shop and great service!
Excellent service and very clean shop! Would highly recommend to all family and friends!
Wonderful experience as always!
Had a shell 1970 Chevy Camaro that Dave helped me put together. Love seeing that process and learning about everything that goes into building a car. The service has always been friendly and I would refer all my friends with car issues to this Chevron.
Always friendly
Always quick service.
Bought a energizer aaa battery and did not work, Probably old stock, I politely ask for exchange but the guy said hes gonna call some1 because there is no exhange policy for battery and the guy never appeared. Lesson learned.
Price Gouging should be illegal!! Almost 7 bucks for a gallon? Don t you dare blame it on the crude oil price. The guy at the register needs extensive anger management & customer service training.
Closet Cheveron I could find. The guy at the counter was very nice, bathrooms mostly clean and all stocked up, and pump handle was recently wiped off. Only complaints: prices are high and they forgot to sanitize the keypad and screen buttons.
Maximum expensive gas station.
This is such an incredible station. Clean, friendly, and overall a great place to stop for gas/service. I am so impressed with the customer service and professionalism!
I love that this Chevron is owned by a local family! They are always extremely welcoming, helpful, and very resourceful for all auto needs.
You can find out a better price for gas. however theyre honest about ther cost as advertise
always good gasoline at low prices.
I never usually write reviews but i brought my car in for a smog test (I bought it from the dealership 2 years ago) and it came with an aftermarket air intake (which IS CARB certified) and the man inspecting it failed it on visual, and even though i argued that it was carb certified regardless of not having an air box he wouldnt budge. So i went home and called the manufacturer of the intake and they said its totally fine for Cali smog tests and is 100% carb certified and they sent me an executive order for it as well and he didnt even read and didnt budge. Went to 2 places star certified smog tests after and both spots said theres nothing wrong with is when they looked at the CARB sticker and the paperwork for it. I do not recommend going here for car related test and services..Horrible experience
Please, do not ever go to this guy Dave for any car repairs,he is very offensive. When I asked him why he was charging a lot money to repair my car. He literally flipped me off. I was speechless so I left . I will not recommend this place no even to my worth enemies.
FREE air for all, no need to get gas. (On September 21st the water hose was broken though)
This was several years back, but it still burns me. One day, both my wife and I both filled up at this station within a few minutes of each other. We both had car trouble later that day. We took our cars to separate repair facilities. Both of our cars had clogged fuel filters. The gas we got was dirty. I mentioned this to a mechanic at the station, and he vigorously denied any wrongdoing. But I could tell this wasnt the first time this complaint had been made.
Just got gas today, used my credit card to pay for food inside and I was asked for my CVV code on the back to complete the payment (which was weird). Later this evening my card was used at a prison. Use cash only
Do not go there for auto repair they will rip you a new one I asked them to tighten a bolt and they said they wanted an hour of labor witch would be 150 just to tighten a bolt what a joke
Went there to get my flat tire repaired. Paid $30 When driving I noticed same tire was running low and getting lower. I took it back and the guy said if its a new nail it will be $30 more. I said did u check if the leak was fixed and he said no. Once they find a nail they stop there and dont look further. So I asked for my money back. After arguing with him for a little bit. I got my money back. Never going back.
Just went to get my battery swapped for a new one i just bought (paid $110.) For a new battery at the autoparts, this guy wanted to charge me $90. Just to do a swap, what a damb joke!!! Went across the street to 76 gas station and the mechanic charged me $20. Recommend everyone to go across the street
Most excellent! Talk to Steve, hell set you straight and have you out the door satisfied!
Bought a used car from the owner Dave, which is his middle name by the way. I would have bought the car even if he told me the real problems with it. He claimed to have owned it and driven it for months with no problems. Thats impossible because days later there were issues with it and multiple things that any good mechanic would have noticed and fixed for the 5 minutes and 10 dollars it would have taken them. They also claimed to have done an oil change and fluid check right before, but those were all done poorly and even not tightening caps properly. I would never feel comfortable taking my car in to this place for service. I still love the car and feel it was still a semi fair price, but I wish I was given that info ahead of time and not lied to about all the problems it had. I still would have bought it. But if I had to buy another from him, I wouldnt trust him now enough to buy another.
Money for gas, as advertised
Walked in at 8 am, got smogged in 1/2 hour. Super nice folks, fast, easy, perfect. Thank you
There customer service is rude they dont respect customers and then I saw a lot of discrimination. I dont want to suggest people to go to this place. I am not satisfied!!
I come here for my smog checks, they have consistently good with customer service and quality of work. Ill be back!
The person who cleans up the station really sucks. While he cleaning up the station, he blows up all the dusts/leaves/etc to the street instead of collecting them and put into garbage. He makes the street messy. It really bad experience when I pass by the street with lots of leaves around. Hey guy, please do not blow your garbage to the street.
