Kim’s Unocal 76 Service Center

Kim, my elderly mother has been taking her SUV to you for OVER 10 years for regular oil changes, battery replacements, tune-​ups, smog checks and God knows what else. Knowing full well that she is widow, and can’t take care of her car, did you not stop once to think that valve cover that is smothered in oil is because maybe the gasket is leaking? It’s right in front of your nose when when you are reaching for the oil filter.
Did the sparks flying from the alternator entertain you? Cuz why bring it to her attention when she can’t see what’s under the hood.
Oh and the battery cables? They are only $ 7.00 each. You couldn’t replace those when you replaced the battery for the 2^nd time? You have to touch them when you replace the battery.
Well, she is 89 now and I decided to borrow her car. Once again the car stalled and when the tow truck guy said «it’s not your battery, it’s the starter,» I thought I should let everyone know what a crook you are for taking advantage of senior citizens. Just take their money and not perform preventative maintenance. We’ll just let the car wear out so that the repair bill will be even higher. Is that it? Or are you just LAZY?
Needless to say, you lost a loyal customer and let me tell you: Bad news travels faster than the speed of light.
Thank you for being negligent with your customer service.
Oh, and in case you didn’t notice, my mom doesn’t have the strength to rotate the tires, and the wear-​and-​tear on them is uneven. It would have been nice to do that for her since she was there every 3 months to get the oil changed. She would have gladly paid for the service.

This is a super, duper, duper tiny place. Without a doubt it has the «bare minimums» — no convenience store, no bathrooms, etc.
They only have a couple of stations (4 – 6 pumps I believe), but when I was there 2 of them were out of order. To have so few pumps, and then have that many out of order is just pretty crazy.
The location itself for the station is pretty hard to get to as there’s a center divider, and you’re forced to exit in one direction only (with a U-​turn further up). If possible, skip this place for anything else that’s in the area.

Restrooms are always closed
