Benton’s Keolu Chevron

I’ve become a Chevron regular since the start of the Safeway rewards program started and found that the locations that I frequent most are always clean and easy to access.
The wide lanes and number of pumps available are always a plus especially when you are in a rush. And the convenience stores at most locations is a welcome sight. Air pumps and water are also provided at most locations.
Not sure if restrooms or vacuums are available… never needed either one on any of my visits.

I am pleased that they finally put some money into this location. The pumps and credit card machines were often broken and not working. This is the most convenient Kailua gas station, and I would love to fill up more frequently. The air compressor has be out of service for a while, and the car wash is unreliable. I find myself driving a couple of miles to the other Chevron location on Kailua road.

So — I’ve been coming to this station for years. the lot is very open, and easy to get your car next to the pumps.
… ok that’s all the good things I can say about it as the Air pump is broken, I believe car wash #2 is broken (has been for months) ((not that I’d ever use an automatic car wash on my car!))
but the last storm we had — with the hail and tornado in Kailua? (3.2012), I had to get gas in the morning, so I pull in, and the pump doesn’t take my card. I run inside and it’s cash only. (electricity is fine), seems the satellite is down, along with the ability to take and process orders.
I ask if they had a credit card impression machine thingy. no.
… not a, oh sorry no… flat out — No
if you need gas, ok, go here, if you need anything else, pass it by!
the Chevron in the middle of Kailua has everything working AND will take your credit card with their old school antique machine if it comes to that.
