O’brien Mobil

I stop here all the time and I’ve only had 2 unpleasant experiences, both with the owner (the woman with the blond hair). Everyone else is great.
Today I was getting a sparking water and the blond lady in there slamming things around and then she goes out the front door and turns around to yell at the cashier «If you do it again you’re fired!» Then proceeds to yell on her cell phone outside in front of customers. I ask the guy, «so that’s your boss, huh?» He replied, «yeah» she’s mad that one of the guys in the garage was helping someone with a flat tire. Wow lady, I’m aware of the potential liability but you have got an anger management issues. And the fact that you talk to people like that is disgusting. Get your life together and stop blaming others. A simple talk or civil write-​up would suffice. Not a public spectacle. I hope all her clerks quit.

Plenty of pumps, convenient freeway access. Could have better squeegees. Prices aren’t the lowest and there isn’t a car wash but– it’s clean.

They don’t know why their gas pumps flow very slow! It is ridiculous! it took us 10 minutes to get 2 gallons! crazy! we got our money back ., don’t waste your time unless you want to buy a bottled water

I’m very surprised at Mr. O’Brien, a long time, good business person in our community, for pulling a gas station scam. The station purposely switched the 89 octane mid-​grade button with the 87 regular octane button on all of its pumps. (See other photos on Unilocal) 93% of all cars use regular, not mid-​grade, Most people don’t check, they just select the button on the left, assuming it is always regular, which it is it reputable stations. So tonight I just paid $ .10 more a gallon than needed. Stopped at 5 gal’s, so Mr. O’Brien; a) owes me 50 cents, or b) missed out on a 20 gal. fill up because of this scam. I won’t go there again ’til I know its changed.

My «service engine light soon» came on and I was in the are so decided to stop here as I commute to work and didn’t not want to drive my car without knowing the issues were. First of all they charge $ 120 for an inspection to diagnose the problem of my car… RIDICULOUS! Then they informed that I needed a new battery which of may be true in order to further the diagnostic but were going to charge me an amount higher for the battery that I can get cheaper at Autozone (which is where I got my battery, cheaper too) or Walmart. I did appreciate the mechanic there who took me aside and recommended where to go and what to do if my car started acting up as I coudn’t stay there and let them take anymore money that I have given them. Once I took my car to another automotive service the inspection to diagnose my was FREE. I wouldn’t recommend this automotive repair service to anyone epecially if they charge $ 120 inspection fee.

The prices here are good and the big screen on the pumps are easy to read. The instructions are well worded too.
I had to take a star off because the grade selection buttons are not in the expected order. They are, from left to right, medium, normal, and premium.

This used to be O’Briens Station, a local family-​owned gas station. A few months they sold out to Mobil. (Not sure, but I think the family may still own the place, just using Mobil for the brand.)
Anyhoo, this place does a decent job of staying competitive with their prices. Also, it is fairly conveniently located near the 5. If you’re getting off the 5, the trick is to turn left onto Saxony and then right into the Mobil station.

My car shows the gas mileage, and I regularly check the mileage after I refill. (I usually refill when the tank is pretty much empty.)
The premium I got here basically is giving me 15% worse gas mileage. This is a ridiculous rip off.
