Speed Smart

This place finally got me for the last time… I had a 30¢ discount on gas which I was using when the pump quit at 5 gallons. Just quit for no reason at all. Cashier barely spoke English and offered no help at all. This is the second time I’ve had a poor experience with discounts among multiple bad experiences with the car wash itself. These people are crooks… period. My advice, run… just run away

Beautiful clean gas station excellent customer service. Buy carwash 10¢ off per gallon good convenience store propane gas available good price

This gas station is great! The people who work here are super nice and friendly. George is one of the nicest Chevron employees ever! He is very helpful and always in a good mood! Goode lotto and beer place.

This corner (SW corner of 51^st Ave and Peoria) has had a gas station on it for years. Every few years it got a new coat of paint and a different brand name sign went up. Nothing fancy, 3 rows of pumps, rest rooms in the corner of the lot, pay station/​minimal snack bar in the center. Last year they tore it out about the same time the city was making «improvements» to the intersection. They even pulled the old fuel tanks and started from scratch. Seeing as how my normal station was getting hard to get to (that «improvements» thing again) I was happy to see it was a Chevron station. And on a direct path to work.
Some of the things that make it a less than optimal stop for fuel are compromises between what the city wanted for the public and the property owners right to make a profit. The city took a right hand turn lane on the North and a Bus pull out on the East side of the property. And they added landscape easements for aesthetics. The property owners wanted a store and a car wash in addition to just selling fuel. There is only like 3 parking spots not on the island or by the propane so store customers quite often park on the islands. The turning radius’ are based on no vehicles sticking out past either end of the pump islands. Twice I have had to jump the curb and drive over the landscaping with my truck. Hey, the city bought into it and approved the plans. The car wash proved to be easier to navigate around the back than I thought, but only when the entrance is not blocked by a delivery truck or customer. Which it often is.
Aside from the physical problems. You get 10 cents a gallon off of your gas if you buy a car wash but the car wash is $ 2 more than my normal place so I need to buy 20 gallons to break even. Quite often I cannot find a working scrubber/​squeegee thing. And what is with the TV’s? Half of which don’t work anyway after the first couple of months. I’d much rather have soft rock music like my preferred station has. A few times I have gone in to buy coffee or snacks and the service at the counter has been fine and the inside of the building clean.
