Gas Mart

Overall good place very small always clean and friendly staff with fair prices. The young cashier named Christina she always make me feel welcomed by ALWAYS greeting me when i walk in she pays attention and personally gets to know each costumers making it a friendly environment. They do need to fix the two pumps that are broken it looks trashy and leaves us with two less pumps to use …

This is actually an Arco now.
Inexpensive gas, open ²⁴⁄₇. The service is friendly at best, apathetic at worse. Depends who’s on shift. Good deals on snacks and energy drinks.

Friendly staff cheap gas

When their gas is sometimes 20 cents cheaper than the other guys, what’s not to like?
Random location on the corner of 54^th and University, but perfectly located near my work. The cheapest gas in my neighborhood (Hillcrest) is Golden State (at the corner of Texas and El Cajon). But if I can, I wait until I can go to Gas Mart. It’s ten cents cheaper than Golden State plus it’s Shell gas. Which cars are supposed to love, right?
The actual mart part of the mart is super small. It gets a little up close and personal during rush hours. But the staff keeps their cool. They are fast too! Some are more friendly than others, but none of them have ever left me thinking ‘What was THEIR problem?‘
The whole area is rather small, come to think of it. It can get hectic when people are having to wait for pumps. I have yet to see bloodshed or sailors language though.
Best time to come? Late at night. The guy is always super nice regardless of how far into his shift you come in. It’s cooler, little traffic and absolutely NO waiting. You can take your time and grab all the trash out of your car finally.
The only thing I’ve purchased besides gas is cigarettes, and they’ve got low prices on them as well. I have yet to try anything else there, but neither they or I are going any place else, so there’s still time. I dedicate Billy Joel’s Just the Way You Are to them.

Ok, so I cheat on Sky Fuel with Gas Mart. GM is my gas station between 12 and 4 am when SF is closed. The gas is in average 5 – 8 cents cheaper than SF but I’m not usually hanging out in that area. The guy that works nights is pretty chill, he gives off that ‘little brother’ vibe. I’ve never felt uncomfortable, threatened, or scared here since it’s not my ‘hood,’ nor is it a place someone who’s grown up in Chula wants to be. The other night this homeless guy stood on the other side of my pump and waited until I was done because he informed me it’s not a safe neighborhood for a woman to be alone or with her kids. I just smiled and thanked him, I wasn’t worried or anything, but was’t going to be rude either. There’s a lady that makes a bed on the bus bench right in front and will vigorously wave as you drive by. Be friendly, wave back. She doesn’t ask for money or anything, just a little happier than most, I guess.
