Chevron

My car drinks top tier only. So I don’t go to Safeway or other non brand gas stations. It’s pretty cheap for chevron and I always use credit here. There’s a $ 101 hold of using credit and I’m not certain but pretty sure if using debit also. It might stick on your checking account for a while, debit card users beware! I been at two pumps (don’t recall the pump number) and they can’t seem to authorize my credit card. It’s not my credit card problem because I pull to a different pump and it authorizes immediately.

Lets keep this short and simple, I mean it is a gas station. Great location on the main road, Park Street. Prices are cheaper than all the other gas stations around my house. Always clean. Great customer service.

I don’t know what kind of gas y’all use. But I put nothing but supreme on my car’s this is the cheapest gas around,

I came here to fill up the air in my spare tire. I found out the air is completely free, no hassles. I was impressed so I got gas here too. The cashier was very friendly. The only downside was waiting in line at the pumps for a few minutes, but they’re just popular.

So I came here to pump my gas, I pay cash the Chinese lady helped me I said $ 30 on 10 … It didn’t work so I walked inside and said it didn’t work she said you said 9 with a fxxxx attitude I said to her why could I say 9 when I came in 10 … Manor manor

This review is of the GAS and the GAS ONLY.
I have the joy of owning a high performance turbo car and unfortunately I live in California. This means, the highest octane I have access to is 91.
For anyone that cares about the octane of their gas, then you understand that a higher octane will allow your ecu to advance timing while avoiding pre-​detonation. IE make more power.
For whatever reason the 91 octane from this gas station doesn’t seem to actually be 91 octane. Or at least, not as good as other 91 octanes I’ve used else where.
I know because I can monitor the engines knock sensors via the OBDII port. Every time I fill up here, my knock sensors go crazy and I can see the ecu begin to retard timing.
For most cars, this isn’t an issue. An ecu will retard timing, producing less power, but protecting the engine from harm. But when you own a high performance vehicle, you want ever last HP you can get.
As a result, I warn anyone who has a high performance vehicle or cares about the power their car is producing to avoid this gas station.

My favorite place to fill up in all of the bay area! This place is by far the CHEAPEST out of all the name brand gas stations especially in Alameda. I mean, Costco and Safeway are cheap but they don’t have Techron in there. Also the window cleaning solution has a pleasant smell to it. The only thing I don’t like about this place is the location of the air and water station, it can be dangerous because its so close to the entrance on the Park st side.
I’m definitely enjoying the the cheaper gas prices right about now and wish they could be like this forever… but they will probably go up: sigh:
YES for cheap gas prices!!!

No review.

This is my station of choice. It’s very busy here. They have bathrooms. You can wash the windows here. The place is clean. The people are nice.
Their prices have always been the best too. I like their gas as it is of best quality I have ever used. I use diesel and I’m always looking at the pump prices.

They decide the best time to have the gas truck give them a refill is Monday morning at 8:00, shutting down two pumps and one exit.
They have a sign on the pump saying «Some transactions will be declined for your safety. See an attendant.» My card always declined at the pump, goes through fine inside.
They do accept Safeway gas rewards though.

My go-​to place for gasoline. The prices are not always the cheapest but you know their gasoline is A-​1 quality.
Right off Park St and they have large assortment of cold drinks (Diet Coke and Red Bull, my choices) and large assortment of snacks. Needed for those long drives. Especially when I’m zooming out and need to gas up.
Time and convience.

gas priced well, some of the pumps are incredibly slow.

Always come here whenever I’m in the area and need gas. Prices are usually pretty good. Station is large, has lots of pumps and a fully stocked store. Clean and service is quick when I’ve needed it. This stations roof is VERY tall, so big trucks to tour buses can fit. (They sell diesel). Great for me.

This is my Chevron of choice when I’m in Alameda. I always pump gas at the same pump but I can’t remember at the moment which number it is lol The workers here are nice. No complaints yet. There is A LOT of space between gas pumps. If you’re gassing up in the center pump and you finish and there’s a car in front and behind you gassing up still. You can turn the wheel and manage to get out with ease. The regulars that come here know what I’m talking about lol

Stopped to get a quick gas card. Woman at counter («Kammy») asked me to pay either cash or debit. I paid debit and after entering my PIN the screen read «Approved» for $ 50.00. Kammy attempted to process the gas card but couldn’t get the balance she had charged me to load onto the card. She then asked me to swipe my debit card one more time. I refused since she had already charged me $ 50.00. She insisted the transaction had not gone through. I stood there, called my bank and they confirmed over the phone the transaction had hit my account. Kammy still refused to do anything. I called the Alameda Police who advised me to wait a few days to be sure the debit had hit my account and if it did, I should come back and ask the merchant to reimburse me. Three days later I went to talk to a whole new set of characters. «Wing» told me there is nothing he can do to help me. He refused to do anything and told me to call a number for their offices. When I called a woman answered in what I can only assume was Cantonese. The case is still pending with the Alameda Police Department.

It’s at a convenient location and the price was decent considering I’ve been paying about the same in the LA area so I didn’t feel like I was getting ripped off.

The gas here seems to always be better priced than some places. and they have a good number of pumps too. Spacious!

High quality #2 diesel at affordable prices.
Easy to get in and get out of this station, and not far from I-​880.
But the Chevron in Berkeley off University is actually lower 5 — 6 cents lower for #2 diesel? Hey, a little competition never hurt anybody.

I used to be a BIG BIG BIG fan of this gas station. Reasonable price, CLEAN station and AWESOME people work here. I always come to this gas station for drinks or maybe gum before my daily commute. I also had the pleasure exchanging pleasantries with people who work here as well. They are nothing but nice, hardworking and decent people. Unfortunately, the owner decided to sell his gas station to Chevron. From that point forward the culture and the morale in this gas station went down hill. The people are still smiling and as courteous as ever but the «mom-​and pop» culture and personality is gone. Under the old management, customers input would be implemented immediately and there was great interaction between customers and the people who work here. Under the new management, things move a lot slower and less personal. It seems like the employees have been prohibited to use their common sense and judgement and have to ask for confirmation from their new «Queen» before making any decision. As long as the old crew is still there, I would still come to this station. But I’m afraid it would be a lot less frequent than what I used to.
It is sad to see family operated gas station have to surrender to big corporation like Chevron. The demise of family operated business in Alameda will definitely lessen the charm of small cities like Alameda.
I have nothing against multi national conglomerate like Chevron. They are the necessary evil. But I choose to spend my money as much as possible on local and independent merchants. But that’s just me.

I locked my keys in my car this morning and had to go to the counter to ask for the phone book and phone. Though the cashier seemed a little annoyed, she was very helpful in providing me with both.
