Chevron Station

Great gas prices. Superb location. Restroom was pretty bad. Very dirty and smelled very bad.

This is a great place to stop for gas when you’re in town for Thunderhill. Their pumps are grade specific so you don’t get a hose full of regular before your premium starts flowing. Staff were friendly and they have a nice, clean store with a ton of snacks to choose from.
And you can’t go wrong with Techron!

Narrowly escaped this gas station with my life. Seriously. Apparently a horrible plague of locusts (words cannot explain adequately how many there were) lives here.
Pulled in for gas, tired and desperate (Waze incorrectly told me this was the only station for several more miles) only to be greeted with gas $ 0.40 over the average price for the area, and a huge swarm of bugs. They were in my hair, clothing, crawling into the car… I am not a wimpy girl and this place made me want to scream.
It was so bad that the people who pulled in after us were freaking out about the bugs, too. I mean, this was incredible. I wish I had possessed the wherewithal to snag a photo, because no one will ever believe how completely terrible this was. Unfortunately I was too busy trying to fill my tank up and fight off thousands of bugs.
I hate this Chevron. The owners (I’m sure they’re lovely people) should just burn it to the ground.

We needed gas pulled off the road husband went in they didn’t have change for a hundred so we couldn’t get gas had to go across the street to shell… very inconvenient. .and we’re rude…

I don’t know if ownership changed from the positive reviews, but when I stopped there there was a super long wait for the restroom and the gas gave much worse mileage than normal for my car. It dropped over 8 MPG despite no change in driving.

Not sure what I would do without this Chevron in Willows, It’s the only place I go to fill up gas and it’s so conveniently located on the side of the freeway as well as on the way to Thunderhill Raceways.
The protocol is usually, fill up gas, drive to track, fill up half day again (thankfully it’s only 6 miles from the track!) and then fill up again to go home.
The bathrooms are nice, the shop is stock full of energy drinks I need to get home after a long day at Thunderhill and generally speaking it’s clean and works well. I like it.

Here’s my current peeing protocol that I apply to most public restrooms, especially at service stations: Kick the door open, use the urinal, kick the flush handle, and leave. Touch nothing with the hands, or at least as little as possible. If that seems like it’s coming up short in the area of personal hygiene, so be it — that’s why God made sanitizing hand wipes that you can keep in your car. I assume that I’m cleaner upon entering than anything I might come into contact with, and I’m going to continue rolling with that, especially in restrooms that look like someone had explosive diarrhea a month ago, and the proprietors are letting it take care of itself.
My no-​contact policy doesn’t work too well for the ladies, I know. So when TL says that the ladies’ room at this Chevron is gleaming, spotless, and smells freshly bleached, I weigh that for what it’s worth. After all, the gasoline is commoditized and regulated, regardless of that bullshit about that «Techron» fairy dust making it superior. Gas is gas.
It’s the peripherals that count at a gas station.

Bees to Chase & Honest Ade to Drink
This station and shop has friendly service, a great selection of snacks and drinks, and an acceptable indoor bathroom which was not scary. ATM and yummy selection of ice cream bars for those hot days on HWY 5. The most exciting thing is they carry Honest Ade Orange Mango juice drink (by the makers of Honest Tea) love it so much and can’t find it anywhere near home yet. Not too sweet, refreshing and with a touch of tropical, fabulous love it!
Open 24 hours a day :-)
Dog Friendly — Three paws for a convenient tanbark and bushes area and a lot of bees buzzing around which the pooch had fun chasing.

Being in the middle of bum @##$ nowhere this was a good potty break, get some snacks and place for students to stretch their legs. Gas was reasonably priced (and 10 cents cheaper than what we pay for in this area).
