Crown Point Gas & Auto Center

I’ve been going here for 3 years and had no issues until yesterday. I came with a broken window… A window they repaired last year for $ 60. For the exact same repair they charged me up the ass because I made the mistake of telling them I was to leave for a trip the same day. It’s an easy job and one I could’ve done myself with the help of my boyfriend if I had the time. They charged me $ 160 for a $ 40 part plus $ 100 for labor. I was a great customer for 3 years, I was in a huge bind yesterday and they took advantage of me and cheated me for it. Don’t go here.

Took my car here for failure to pass a smog test, and Sal genuinely explained the problem and cost. I had visited multiple locations and became very frustrated with unreasonable/​dishonest causes and costs. I’m so glad I finally found this place! They definetly exceeded my expectations and kept me updated throughout. I received exceptional service and at a suprisingly low rate. They were also very efficient. Found my go-​to mechanic:)

Pulled in to get gas because I had just had lunch across the street. I was planning to get gas at one of the many stations on Grand or even down on Balboa before getting on the freeway, but since it was right there, I thought I would take advantage of it. Turns out, I’m the one being taken advantage of.
In my entire life I’ve never run across this (been driving for more than 40 years)… They only have regular and premium. What happened to the mid-​level 89 Octane rating? I’m definitely not putting 87 into my car but I don’t need to spend the $$$ to put premium. Clearly they opted to drop the 89 octane for the 100. 100?!? Really? There are THAT many people who need/​buy 100 octane? More than 89? I find this incredibly hard to believe but how about reserving it for one or two pumps at the most and making sure there is 89?
No? Okay, simple enough. I’ll just take my business elsewhere. Matter of fact, I would rather run out of gas, walk to another station, buy a gas can, and walk back to my car before filling up again at this place.

One of two places in San Diego that sell 100 octane fuel. Expensive but nice for the turbo! Vroom! They sell the other grades too fyi but that’s not why I go there.
It’s conveniently located in Pacific Beach Crown Point area, so it’s easy to get to and find.

This place sucks. I used to fill up my two vehicles there once per week. I filled up earlier in the day and had to go back for air a few hours later with a half-​full tire. The same tattooed lady was there and denied me free air. I politely explained that I was just filled up there a few hours ago, but she repeated «IF YOU DIDNT JUST FILL UP, ITS A DOLLAR!!» as if I didn’t understand English or was hard of hearing. Ridiculous! I will never go back there again, and have my friends and family on board as well. They will probably not see a significant hit in their profits I realize, but oh well. I hope it was worth losing 10 cars a week filling up over that one-​dollar you tried extorting me for your precious air.
Drive a minute up the road and fill up at one of the other stations, and feel free to grab some of that compressed air without feeling like a panhandler.

I originally chose this place because it was referred by a friend. This center had the best service and was the most efficient auto center I’ve ever been to. I went in for an oil change and my tires were shredding (which I was unaware of) they got me new tires and did the other service my car needed all within the same day. I would of been driving in unsafe conditions if it wasn’t for there fast and friendly service. I would definitely recommend them and will be taking my car there from now on.

We get gas here all the time and when we came in yhis morning to fill the tires for our bikes the girl at the counter demanded we say please and said she disnt have to do it if she didnt feel like it. Last time I checked it was the law to provide it. Plus its printed on yhe machine. Just extremely rude.

I love this place! Quick easy foody and gas! Dina is my favorite because we always laugh and she ALWAYS ask how I am doIng! I will always come here from now on because of her!

Late night hunger pangs always welcomed with a smile. Crown Point Gas & Auto Center saves my ass when I don’t want to drive to Vons and or after Crest has closed. (this place stays open an hour later than Crest). Dina rocks the house and is always friendly and courteous.

This is my gas station!
Every single time I stop by to get gas and/​or refreshments I am treated like a friend. Harley and Dina are two of the most social, sweet, caring, and helpful people.
They seem to value their jobs, and value customer service.
Usually, when you go to a gas station and have to speak to an attendant, you get stared at, they look miserable/​scary, and you are lucky if they can even muster up the words, «Thank you» upon leaving.
Totally different experience with Dina. The last couple times I have been in the mart, she calls me by name, asks how I am, is extremely personable, and exceptionally friendly. She makes me feel comfortable to continue making Crown Point Gas &Auto Center my gas station.
5 stars for friendliness and great customer service!

I give this gas station and auto shop as many stars as I can, great service, good prices, I found my new mechanic shop and my new local gas station. Happy camper.

If there was an opportunity to give zero stars, I would have. I pulled in because my transmission fluid was leaking. They told me I could buy some for $ 3.99– okay perfect. Then they said they could look at it. I told them not to do anything because I couldn’t afford anything huge right now. While I was waiting I saw them put fluid in; that’s something I could have done myself. They told me the hose was leaking which was about $ 400. I told them I couldn’t have it done today. They proceeded to charge me $ 15. I asked why and I got a mix of answers: one said it was for them putting the fluid in, the other guy said it was for the fluid. If it was for the fluid, I wanted to keep it since I paid for it. He told me no because it was for the service (something i couldve done myself), so I walked to my car upset for not getting a straight answer He then walked into the garage while speaking whatever language he did to his co-​workers while they laughed. Then, he came back and gave me a bottle of transmission fluid that retails at $ 1.77. It’s complete crap and I will not refer them to anyone. Stay away. The service is horrible.

I love it when my battery goes dead after filling up. I love it even more when I ask for a jump from the four employees all on their smoke break at the same time, one walks away, the other two avoid eye contact, and the station manager tells me they don’t have cables (this station has a repair garage by the way). I’ll try to avoid gettIng gas here, Valero up the street is cheaper anyway. As for the repair garage, if you’re ever in the middle of no where, the sheriff of that town owns the station and is the mechanic, and you have all four tires blown out, it may still be better to get towed to next town.

My battery died. It was the closest garage so I walked there. The garage was closed but the girl at the counter called the owner and opened got him to open up for us and got us a new battery and saved the day so good job.
Gas appears to be the cheapest in town.

My car’s fuel warning light was on as I was leaving PB one night, so I stopped by this gas station on my way to the 8. The prices were decent compared to other stations (same price for both cash and credit card, which is nice!)

Heading out of Pacific Beach and before you hit Ingraham St. bridge and the exit ramps to Interstate 8 East, this VP Gas Station is your last hope to put some juice in the tank. And this place HAS JUICE!
100 octane racing fuel sold here! Not that I need that stuff-​I am just happy VP sells gas for a pretty decent price comparable to other independent stations in the area. They also have a quickie food mart for last minute snack and drink shopping.
One of the few pay phones still around and bathrooms! A girl couldn’t ask for anything more from a gas station-I’m a fan!
