I threw away some trash from my car while I was waiting for my gas to pump and the worker came outside angry and yelled at me- very rude and became a scary experience. He gave me dirty looks until I left- I would stay away from this gas station.
I left my card on the counter, and the gentlemandon’t know is he the shop owner or the worker kept the card for me. Thank you very very much, from bottom of my heart.
Gave the cashier $30 one 10 and one 20, but cashier only gave me $10 worth of gas. Despite telling me he worked there for 30 something years, I know what I gave you and I know whats missing in my wallet. Asked to review footage but claims manager isn't there. If you give cash, make sure the cashier acknowledges it with a verbal response. Beware.
Manager & attendant are A+. Left my pair of AirPods on the counter yesterday, and they helped me diligently today to find them, even looking in the trash. Thank you!!
It's a gas station, albeit, one that is consistently over priced, and being next to the highway, literally highway robbery. If your in a pinch and need some gas or energy drink, it works, otherwise you're best filling up somewhere where the price per gallon is acceptable.
Cool place. Good location. Average prices on gas
Today I went there because I got a flat tire. Also I had a squeaky noise with brake. The Valero was the closet one from my home, just 3 minutes drive. They asked $22 for tire check and $22 for brake check. At that point, I was a little reluctant, because I heard there were some places that brakes check was free. He said checking costs $22 and if some part needed to be replaced, it would cost more. Anyway, I let them fix my car. 3 hours later, the manager called me that the work was done. They took out a nail from my tire not sure how I got it and cleaned the brakes without charging me more. Fortunately my brakes didn't need new part. = Now my car is working fine. I'm satisfying with their work and will recommend to my friend.
They tried to charge me more at the cashier for water despite having an advertised price that was significantly lower posted. This is an illegal practice. They charge way more for gas than the stations less than a block away. They even charge for air.
Gave us free air even though didn't but anything. We used a lot, very generous.
The last honest mechanic. I can't say how many times I've brought my car here and the head mechanic there tells me I don't need anything. For example, after going to the dealer for a recall, the dealer told me I needed to pay $800 to fix my coolant line because it was leaking. I brought it straight here and he told me it was maybe leaking a drop here and there. He said $800 buys a lot of coolant! That was a while ago and after several oil changes the coolant has never been low. That is just one example of several over the years.
