Tracy Blvd Chevron

I have always disliked this Chevron in particular. It never fails that a couple times a year going from sac town to the South Bay this ends up as a must fill stop along the way. The prices are always well above if I had stopped a half hour before or a half hour later. The pumps never seem to all work and I often end up at THAT pump that has a tiny out of service note that can’t be seen until after you exit the car. Really? How helpful is that?!
I’m a Chevron customer who uses a Chevron charge card. For that I am charged an extra 10 cents per gallon. How does it make sense that I use their card at their station and I get this surcharge?! Completely lame. The customer service and restrooms are always substandard. I think being so close to the freeway makes them think most every customer is a one shot deal. Given my most recent experience I will be doing all I can to make my stop at the earlier or later Chevron.
If I ever have to use this station again I swear out of spite I will only drop $ 5 of gas, paid in CASH, to the tank so I can get to the next station. I realize that this is punitive to me as well, but it’s well deserved if am stupid enough to end up at this here again!
Yup! Me thinks not!

Unfortunately I have to give this Chevron One Star, and that’s being fair. I don’t know what is wrong with the staffs noses. The INDOOR men’s room almost makes you vomit upon entering, and has been that way for a while. If you let them you know, you get the same «ok, we take care of it». I will stick to MacArthur Ave. Chevron, it is VERY clean (and friendly staff compared to here). NOT a restroom for children.

9÷6÷2015: I was very tired from working the Scottish Games at Alameda County Fairgrounds with Nancy Williams, Deanna Jaxine Stinson and Don Christensen. This Chevron is strategically placed at an easy location to pull over and get some emergency Hazelnut coffee.

This location is right off 205 so it is in a good location and works in a pinch, but if you are a Chevron regular in Tracy, I recommend using the one at 11^th street at Chrisman. It’s newer, cleaner, friendlier and you won’t be bothered by people asking for change or have to move your car because a pump is broken.

Slowest place ever for a oil change. Guy worked on one truck for an hour. Finally I got my turn, It took him 45 mins to do my oil change.

Bait and switch warning! Like the Shell station next door, this place is very shady about how they post their prices. They have TWO signs listing prices; the lower price (10 cents/​gal cheaper) is only if you don’t pay with a credit card. At night, only the sign with the lower price is lit up, so you get a surprise at the pump when you try to pay with credit. Businesses should simply state their prices up front and honestly. It’s not right to trick people.

I came here for just a second to meet someone, and this Mexican worker guy who just came to work was SUPER RUDE. He must have had a bad day our something because he had a bad temper and I will never go to that has station Again. Go to shell or Arco on the same street there customer service is HORRIBLE.

This place has ANTS. There they were crawling on their counters where their hot dogs and other food items were. I don’t eat from gas stations– but I was on a 3 hour drive and I was so hungry for something to snack on. I check their cooler for maybe some sort of sandwich. There is mold on their sandwiches. Nice. I bought some sealed chips instead.
Also, the counter lady was also chit chatting away on the phone. Good customer service skills. I wish I just went next door to Shell instead.

Always have great customer service here, and I do buy all my gas (120 round trip commute) and lotto tickets here too. Chevron gas is really the best gas for your car, you can pay now and use Chevron, or pay letter when your fuel system is all jacked up.

Went to get a Lotto ticket this afternoon around 3 PM. I noticed that the lady ahead of me was complaining about the lady behind the register. I missed exactly what the problem was so I bought my lotto ticket and when I paid I asked the lady if she could throw the lotto pick sheet away for me as I walked out. She hollered at me as I was leaving and said hey we do not have a garbage can you need to throw it away by the door or outside. I was surprised by the attitude and went back and got the paper and threw it away.
First of all I doubt that they do not have a garbage can behind the register. If they don’t they should invest in one. Second why is this lady so angry to customers? I have patronized Chevron for the last 25 years. My Wife worked for Chevron for 22 years in the Corporate Offices before she was forced to retire early. I have never seen any employee act like this before. She was way out of line and should find out what it is like to not have a job if she treats customers like she does. They have many people that could take her place and would treat customers with the respect they deserve.
I hope she gets a long vacation and realizes how lucky she is to have a job in this economy.

Chevron fans rejoice… not because this is a hidden treasure of cheaper fuel. I love it because I’ve lived in Stockton and currently in Livermore… as a gateway while traveling on I-​580 and needing gas before approaching the altamont I want a station that is right off the fwy and easy to access. It’s well lit, easy to find, if you happen to be hungry Denny’s is next door… and you can clean your windshield while filling up.
I’ve even stopped here to use the restroom in a pinch and those are clean, too.

I always stop here on my way to San Jose. Lots of pumps. Wide spacing for large vehicles or trailers. Bathrooms are a little scary because they are well traveled.

This gas station is in a funny place. I say this because it’s right next to a Shell with merely a small divider between the two.
Stopped by here really late from a trip to San Diego recently. I’m a Chevron loyalist so yeah!
Pretty well lit. Clean windshield water. Nice supply of paper towels. Convenience store closed a 11 pm something but noticed the cashier behind the glass for cash paying customers.
Convenience you can’t put a price on. This station is easy access from Fwys 5,580,680.

Just fine, what do you expect from a freeway stop gas station.
There is nothing spectacular about this place. You get all kinds of people in here, from rich to poor, because it is on the interchange between the 5, 580, 680. At least there is water in the window scrubber buckets and the water in there does not completely smell rancid yet. The best thing about this place is it is right off the freeway and very easy to get back on no matter which direction you are going.
All in all I recommend this place if you find yourself out this way and in need of gas.

I stopped here for gas and a break before the trip over the Altamont Pass on I-​580 West. The pump said ”Pay Inside.” So I go inside and the cashier says…”Computer is down.” I asked how long do we wait, and she just laughed. So I said…”I’m going to Shell next door.” A group of other customers followed me over there. Geez, at least tell us you can’t sell gas.
Note: Gas price was $ 4.02/ UL Reg on Aug 1,08.

I must have looked like an idiot. (what’s new about that you say? well… nothing actually)
I got a new (er) car and it’s the first car I’ve ever owned with the gas tank on the passenger side. Very convenient when pumps are crowded because mine is in the minority, thus easier to get a pump.
You’d think.
Except that I keep forgetting that the tank is on that side, so I wait and wait, and then pull in only to find that the tank is on the other side. AFTER PAYING. Son of a…
So I get back in my care and do a quick turn and hope no one goes to that pump thinking it’s free. I look like an idiot. Again.
Oh well. They took my Amex gift card with no fuss. And I got TECHRON in my tank!

I received a call tonight from a friend who was in need of a jumpstart for her friend’s car. Her situation reminded me of this seemingly creepy man who worked alone late at night. He looked nothing out of the ordinary – he had a gray mustache, receding hairline, spectacles, and a cleanly-​ironed shirt. Perhaps his glasses for hyperopia just magnified his eyes a lot more, giving him a very foreboding look… I felt like I was Scout and he was Boo Radley. I prejudged him solely by his appearance and his demeanor – his movements looked calculated, making sure the floors are cleaned, the shelves are stocked, the change he gives is correct. The day my car needed a jumpstart was the day my prejudices against this man were challenged. He helped me get my car going again. This kindred spirit was the attendant of the Chevron gas station at the Tracy Boulevard exit.
For a semester, I endured commuting to San Francisco from Stockton almost everyday, making sure I get my ass out of my house by 4:30am to avoid encountering the crazy-​making traffic enroute to Tracy, the Altamont, and pre-​BayBridge zones. This Chevron at Tracy Blvd (across from Shell, right around the corner from Nations, a little around the corner from a McDonald’s, In-​N-​Out Burgers, a drive-​through Starbucks, a FoodMaxx) is my top stop on the aforementioned journey. My mother inculcated some brand-​loyalty in me and assured me that Chevron gasoline «lasts longer» (with the caveat that I buy it from the Tracy Blvd Exit location because the prices are generally 9 – 12 and ⁹⁄₁₀ cents cheaper than the ones in Stockton) than any other gasoline brands she gets. Is it the
(shit… got some LNP/​EEMP feeling… brb.
okay, I’m back)
Techron?
My mom now gets her gasoline from Costco. Apparently their gas «lasts longer», but she has to make sure she uses her membership card for that to happen.
The Chevron gas station has a convenience store with an ATM, fairly clean restrooms, newspapers, and all kinds of goodies. I usually buy two Starbucks espresso shots in a can (or two Redbulls, or a combo of the two), here for my morning drive. I drink one right when I get on the ramp to 205-​W to San Francisco, in hopes that it’ll last me until I get over the Altamont pass. If there is significant stop-​and-​go traffic on the Altamont, I usually start dozing off by the time I hit Dublin/​Pleasanton so I open another can, praying that the caffeine will keep me awake and alive till I get to SF State.
Tonight, when my friend called, I wished that I was that Chevron Tracy Boulevard Exit gas station attendant. If so, I would’ve been able to help her friend jumpstart his car.
