Chevron

Staff is nice… bathrooms are hardly clean and the gas prices here are ridiculous… go elsewhere save your money

ROBBED BY THE MANAGER
I have never been so irritated at a gas station and never would even bother to write a review for a gas station in the first place. Get gas, leave, simple.
I paid $ 50 cash, I should have at least $ 25 leftover since my tank was half full to begin with and I drive a fuel efficient car. ($ 50 is a full tank for me, but only had a $ 50 bill) Right when I lifted the pump, some gas leaked out but stopped so I thought it’d be fine. Put it on lock, everything was fine for a minute. I turn around and the gas is LITERALLY SPILLING OUT EVERYWHERE. I panick as I didn’t want to touch it but I grabbed it anyways and tried to put it back to the station. Since it didn’t stop automatically like pumps are supposed to, it charged me the whole $ 50 and the so called manager that was sitting in the back eating and texting came out.
This fool didn’t comprehend anything I was trying to say, and kept saying that everything has been fixed not too long ago and how customers before me didn’t have a problem with this pump. Kept denying he was wrong. «It probably leaked less than one gallon I will give you $ 5, take it or leave it». !!! What?! No apologies, nothing. All I needed was more gas… He walked away and hid back where he was found. At this point, there’s nothing I can do, or say to that douchebAg who can’t even admit his fault. As I’m about to drive away, a Mercedes stops at that same pump I was at, calls the manager back out since even she had problems with it. Oooookay, I didn’t bother even saying much more but you could see it in his eyes. Congratulations asshole

This place is disgusting. If you need to use the bathroom skip this place. Take pride in where u work. This place makes Chevron look bad.

Lmao this place charges $ 1.50 to use debit. Ya fuckin right.p.s. You’re out of soap in the women’s bathroom

I was returning back to the OC from a BART (Bay Area Road Trip), which I generally made about every 3 – 4 months and by chance, have been to this particular Chevron a few times.
As many fellow Unilocal*ers have mentioned, you’re not going to find the best gas rates here… ‘After all, if you’re stopping in the middle of nowhere, to fill up the tank, they’re gonna charge you the «Bend yo’ @ss over that barrel,» prices. My tank was a little less than ¼ and that’s the only reason I stopped as probably 90% of the other travelers did too… ‘And this lone station out here on the 5 FWY, knows it.
I generally don’t make too many stops on the drive unless I have my dog, HAPA, with me such as this particular trip. My stops usually range between 15 – 20 minutes, then right back on the 5 FWY. (This stop was no different.)
Inside the convenience mart —
This Chevron had a wide selection of snacks, drinks, junk food, car oil, and whole bunch of other random crap that no one would ever need on a drive… It was like a convenience mart and a flea market had a child that no one talked about. After all, who the hell stops in the middle of nowhere to get gas, use the restroom and on the way out goes, «Hey, I need this kitschy, ceramic bust of a wolf… I’ve been looking all over for this!!»
«I gotta have this!» —
The bathroom was okay, nothing that stood out from your average gas station restroom. It wasn’t like one you might find at a 5 Star Michelin restaurant but it didn’t look like the gorilla exhibit @ the zoo either. It was your stinky @ss, don’t touch anything w/​your bare hands, good ol’, roadside crapper… ‘The norm.
However, if you’re ever making that 5 FWY drive and want to use one of the nicest restrooms you’ll ever find on the road, look no further.
Harris Ranch (Coalinga):
One of the Unilocal*views mentioned flies all over the place which I didn’t see too many of… I finished fueling up, took the HAPA for a potty break & we were back on the road.

If you don’t have to stop here, get gas someplace else… Preferably in an area with other competing stations and not THE ONLY ONE around to fill up the tank because chances are, the prices are going to be a bit higher than not. However, if you have to stop here, «Brace yourself… ‘And think of a happy place.»

No stars given if I had the option! This gas station is a rip off! Debit transaction will be charged $ 1.50 extra & $ 0.50 extra for credit! Really? This is a gas station & you’re trying to pull off the extra money from travelers!!! Ridiculous!

Bathroom pit stop coming back up from LA. In light of the other reviews we only purchased bottle products and we brought our own toilet paper in and hand sanitizer in.
Bathroom was disgusting.
I would avoid going here if possible.

$ 5.19 a gallon? Ugh. Talk about opportunistic.
Listen to me now, drivers. Leave San Francisco or LA with a full tank. Top off in Lost Hills, it’s as-​cheap if not cheaper than San Francisco or LA. If it’s a weekend trip, do the same on the way back.
Save yourself $ 15 and the knowledge that someone «saw you coming»…
You’re welcome.

This Chevron is easily reachable right off the highway 5 freeway.
It is a stand alone Chevron, with a convenience store and gas.
The workers are all Indian, so it’s probably an Indian owned Chevron. The workers were all pretty nice and helpful. The restrooms were some what clean, I mean for a gas station, it was decent.
The place here is full of flies roaming all over the convenient store and throughout the inside on the products and stuff… very disgusting!
Although we still bought some snacks for the road home.
Mountain Dew, $ 1.99
Soda from Machine, $
Cheetos, $ 1.50
Coffee, $ 1.39
Skip this place because of all the flies roaming around!

This is an expensive place to get gas but the worker was friendly and the gas station was well lit at night. I didn’t need to get gas but my child needed to use the restroom. What an expensive pit stop. I paid $ 4.299/gallon two weeks ago and it is now $ 4.999/gallon!

***Gas prices felt very high at this Chevron though there are not many options in this area; this gas station is right off the 5 freeway on the way going south from San Francisco to Los Angeles (very easy getting right back onto the freeway); this Chevron also has a big convenience store filled with lots of drinks and junk food; the restroom was okay and clean enough***
There are several free parking spaces available if you are just looking to pick up a snack or drink.

If you need gas you can get it here. At a cheap price? Well maybe not soo much, but hey its the only Chevron in town!

— tons of flies
I don’t usually rate gas stations cause they’re pretty generic but this place was hot, full of flies, and so overpriced (more than usual). If you’re going to stop here, roll up your windows and keep door opening to a bare minimum so you don’t let the flies in. Better yet just don’t stop here. ever.

Super gross and dirty women’s room. No changing table for the little ones. The whole place smelled. Expensive gas. Husband said the men’s room was okay, but still, go somewhere else if you can.

omg if I could i would rate this with no stars. I didn’t want to give it one star. the little girl who used the bathroom before us says out loud to her mom «this bathroom is naaassssty!» wanted to take my daughter somewhere else immediately … hold it if you can and only use in emergency cases. gas is expensive and there were flies everywhere! infestation of flies! gross.

Ladies: No lock on the door where there was tp. No tp in the other booth. No odors.
Mens: Mediocre cleanliness, no lock on the only booth.
Gas was 50¢ cheaper than San Diego!
Heavy traffic utilizing this place.

At first we thought that this gas station is closed. No cars at all! It was empty! As we pulled in, i knew right away why. Gasoline at $ 4.85 for regular! What’s up with that? When 10miles away there’s another station that charges $ 3.65 for 87.
The place stinks. The bathroom is nasty! Durrrttttyyyyy!!! If you can hold your business for another 10 miles, then I suggest you do so. If not, just hold your breath and do your thing. Empty away!

An incredibly dirty bathroom, and some ridiculously overpriced gas! Go here in case of emergencies only. I didn’t need gas, but I needed to use the bathroom, badly. Therefore, I’ll give it a «Number Two» ;-)

Most expensive gas station I’ve ever been to in my life. And this was in a rental car using regular compared to when I lived in SB and my car takes Premium.
I almost felt like I was filling with race gas and had to check and make sure I didn’t pick up the wrong pump. –_–

$ 4.799/gallon for some ’87?
I think this is the most expensive gas station I’ve been to in 2011 so far.
