Vons Gas Station

Positives:
1. Cheap gas
2. Pay at the pump
3. Vons reward points!
4. Cheap gas
Negatives :
1. O.K. so there is only one time of day that you can get here and get in and out in less than 5 minutes. I will, of course, NOT divulge my secret because that is when I get gas!
2. Seriously, they have someone in one of those reflective vests directing traffic when it is busy!
3. Crowded on weekdays
4. Crowded on weekends
5. I’ve been there at times when the kid in the booth needs to go to the bathroom and shuts the pumps off for half an hour!

The prices are great here but this place can get insanely busy. I really don’t understand what is so complicated about the design of this gas station that causes so much confusion and rudeness. Don’t go if you’re in a hurry, and don’t be surprised if you’re cut off or someone takes your turn!
Updated: from 1 star to 4. I’ve been back a few times in the last month or so, and things are vastly improved. They’ve added an attendant who directs traffic, and I no longer feel as if chaos reigns. And the prices, if you have a Von’s card, are excellent. Good job, dudes.

Always equal to or cheaper than other gas stations so I come here for all my fill ups! It helps that I shop at the Vons as well. It is a little difficult for people to understand how to wait in line and enter… but if you come at the right times it isn’t a problem.

This is one of the few Vons stores that has a gas station. The price on the gas is pretty good, but the real value is in the tie-​in with grocery shopping. For every $ 100 you spend at Vons in a month, you get 10 cents off per gallon of gas. It’s capped at $ 1 off per gallon, which is a really good deal. Obviously you would need to spend $ 1000 at Vons to get that, which is not practical, but even if you can get 20 or 30 cents off per gallon, it’s worth it.

The good: low prices, clean pumps, lower snack/​drink prices than typical mini-​mart.
The bad: holy shit this place is a disaster…
The signage directs the drivers to flow a specific direction. So, it’s get in line and wait your turn. There is no one directing traffic so people go around and back in all the time. I’m surprised I haven’t seen fights, or been in one for that matter. I will no longer go here unless there is no line. It’s too frustrating. I can handle a wait, just not the clusterfuck that happens when there is one here…

Good desks with Von’s card. I appreciate the extra discount with grocery purchases. Lines can get a but long so plan your gassing up in non peak hours.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with the so-​called WORKERS at the gas station. Ive been to this location MANY times due to the fact i live down the street. I don’t shop Vons so I dont use the rewards or savings however. Today I went there to fill my tires with air. I proceeded to pay the dollar to the air machine and it was a little weird and slightly broken and leaking which was fine, but it was taking longer to fill the tire, before I finished the air machine timed out. I was out of quarters and just hit the ATM and only had $ 20 bills. MOST stations will turn the air back on so I kindly asked the worker standing in his little hut to turn it on. he immediately questioned me if i had just purchased gas and i told him i frequent the station but i didnt fill up just now, i only needed some more air. the tall, white, fat man (didnt get his name) told me i needed to buy gas first and/​or he could make change for me. i told him i already paid but the quality of the air pump caused me to not be able to complete my filling of the tire in time. he continued to refused and wouldnt turn it on for me. what an ASSHOLE. i hope he understands he is GAS STATION WORKER and has NO right to refuse services and help to the customers. especially PAYING customers. He was rude and offered no sympathy or even an apology. he stood there in his hut being lazy with his coworker whilst an elderly woman getting gas CLEARLY needed some assistance as well. RUDE ASS WORKERS! LOL get over yourself you work at a VONS gas station for A LIVING! the nerve of some people. NEVER GOING HERE AGAIN ! i would rather pay the extra $ 5 and go further down the street to SHELL GAS STATION :)
sorry VONS! your gas is good though– service is NOT

It’s a gas station. It is a crowded gas station at times. Having said that with my Von’s discounts the price is always good.

If the gas here was not so cheap i would give it a 1 star!
Always long lines for gas, the workers can give a damn. Sometimes found outback doing chores not caring if customers are at rhe windows.
Watch what time you go here because you find out real quick how inconsiderate humans are. During the rush hours, lunch and 5pm there will be long 4 to 5 car lines and people will just be chillin’ in their cars when they are done pumping gas.
Try to avoid this gas station at all costs!
I’ve seen people fight for spots here NO JOKE!

This is the worst gas station in California. Pumps never work. Cars waiting to have an accident. Attendants are incompetent. Avoid this station.

Worst. Gas. Station. EVER! There are always oober long lines where you have to wait forever. People always come in the wrong way. I’ve gotten into numerous accidents here. And to top it off the pumps NEVER work. Avoid this station like the plague.

This place is the definition of a clusterfuck. I’ve seen fights almost break out when someone cuts in line to steal a pump. They crammed this gas station in without any type of thought for the flow of traffic.
Yet I come here because I accumulate a lot of discounts towards gas purchases and need to use them when I need to put premium gas in my Lexus (name dropper that I am).

Long lines at times, didn’t give it a 5 star rating due to the fact they don’t open at 5am anymore! Please open at 5am again, it worked perfect for my schedule!

No complaints. No praises.

oh-my-long-lines…It takes FOREVER to actually get to the pumps here, seems like there is always someone trying to cut in line or sneak in before you (which makes me tense and angry — can’t we all just get along? get in line and stop pretending that your need for gas is greater than mine… sheesh).
I know people put up with it for cheap gas (about 20 cents cheaper per gallon than the Mobil down the street), but not sure if it’s worth it all the time…
I don’t think that I have every seen this place without a line.
But — the gas is cheap and once you get to the pump (if you drive long miles every day like me), you are happy to save the money.
Always brightly lit and clean for an outdoor gas station.

Iono what’s with the bad reviews. This place has the cheapest gas in LBC if you have a Vons Card. Yes, lines are long, but they always are for cheap gas.
Ps: If you don’t want to wait in line, go during off hours (People get gas in the morning before work and after work…)

Ok, so the Vons gas station is a great deal if you are a regular Vons or Pavilions shopper. You get 3 cents off a gallon on a normal day for having a Vons Club Card, or during special promotion periods you can get 10, 20, or 30 cents off based on how much you’ve spent at the stores in the last while. I don’t own a car, but when I’m in town borrowing one of my parents’ this works great, especially given the fact that my mother spends like a fiend at the grocery store.
This being said, the majority of the clientele simply does not understand how to use this gas station. It is a ONE-​WAY situation, people! That is why there are signs that say «ENTER ONLY» and «EXIT ONLY» on either end of the fueling aisles, and handy arrows that point which direction you should go. Figure out which side of your car the gas cap is on, and then line up accordingly on the Woodruff side of the parking lot. Do not think you can sneak in from the Vons side, or give me the finger because I waited like a good girl and went the proper direction.

This gas station will give you a 0.3 cent distount per gallon if you are a club member.
