Foothill Chevron

Obviously overpriced gas, but that’s not my problem. My problem is that I used pump number 5 with 2 gift cards I had that had a leftover of $ 3 and one with $ 0.94. So I got about a 1.2 gallons and when I started my car, I was still at the same amount of gas I had when I came to pump gas. So I went to the cashier and told him what happened and this guy is giving me a smug attitude saying the receipt said I pumped this much. But it doesn’t matter because that didn’t go in my car and starts blaming my car and says I need to take it to the technician. Go to the 76 next door to pump and no problems at all. Avoid this place at all cost and if you can, avoid this cashier. There’s a reason that chevron is always empty.

The owner here sucks…
He just sat there and do nothing when you told him the pump didn’t work. he would keep on telling you to press hard.
He didn’t even bother to look if he needs to put up a sign saying malfunction, etc… perhaps that’s the reason y he can only have a gas station and nothing else.
If there is an option of minus star… he totally got the minus!!!

I will make this short and sweet because most people looking for a gas station review want to know just a couple things…
Cons:
1) Slow-​ish pumps. I can post at least ten Unilocal tips while filling up my 10 gallon tank.
2) People asking for cash. They seem nice enough but getting «sneaked up on» while at the gas station by yourself is not a fun time.
Pros:
1) Prices are decent and you can use your Safeway rewards card for discounts.
2) Good selection of energy drinks that are on sale. I tend to get fuel at this gas station when I am traveling a distance because it is convenient to the 580 on-​ramp. I like to grab a beverage and snack to take with me.
Overall, I prefer a faster pump but I like the snack and beverage selection here for trips that I know will require some «people fuel» to get me through.

Cheap gas! And very close to freeway. (580 and 238) it’s a lot cheaper than Oakland. Food mart is there and you can run in and get some snacks. It never really gets crowded and there are about 5 parkings on the right side.

Well-​lit gas station at night since it’s not in the best location. Fairly clean station with about 8 pumps to use. You may see cheaper prices here than at other Chevron locations around.

Chevons are usually on the expensive side, but I find this particular one to have great prices consistently. Even if you go to the QuikStop or Arco, you may think you’re getting the better price, and you do IF you pay with cash. But otherwise you’re most likely paying the same amount due to their 35 cent ATM fee.
This gas station doesn’t seem to get very crowded unless you’re going right at rush hour time.
Also, love their drink selection. They were one of the few gas stations to have the Coconut Rockstars, which now they don’t because I wiped them out. :)
Overall, this is my go-​to gas station and my go-​to energy drink stop before I have to hop onto the freeway.

This place is a gem. The prices are the best in the area and most of the time are in line with Costco. They also have fresh soapy water to wash your windows and the place is kept pretty clean til the locals trash it.
Only bad thing is they never refill the paper in the gas pump so no receipt unless you go inside.

I always stop at this gas station in the mornings, maybe twice a week, to get some gas. There is always a middle east gentleman very serious, but respectful person. Today, I was there again like any other morning. I decided to pay with cash. I gave the cashier $ 26 dollars and started pumping gas. At $ 25, it stopped. I go back and asked her politely that the pump stopped at $ 25 when I gave her $ 26, I was missing $ 1 dollar. She was on the phone while talking to me, she didn’t like it when I told her that she left me short, gave me attitude and denied that I gave her the $ 26. She opened the drawer and got some $ 1 bills and two of those were stuck on each other. I said, oh great there it is. She continued with the bad attitude and yelled at me very rudely «ok, ok i’ll give it to you!» Nowadays, with the gas prices so high, every penny counts. Anytime you pay cash, be very careful to get all of the gas you pay for.

I wad there today and pump 91 premium on my car. I have to hold on to the handle until my car is full.

The owner who viciously yelled at me today WHILE I WAS HOLDING MY 15 MONTH OLD TODDLER! He is a disgusting example of what is wrong with the world today. Please do not support the owners of this Chevron.
I own my own business and have 3 children and could not believe the wrath this man angrily and aggressively came towards me. the air pump was broken and I went in to ask for the 50 cents the machine broke. He threw the money down and began yelling at me. My son began to get startled so I backed away. I said sir, CA law requires you provide free air and water for cars… and I put my 50 cents in the machine anyway. he said no i don’t (so i took a picture of the sign that says so by law for myself). For everyone out there all you have to do is ask and by law and fine they have to provide it! google it!
I wish another person had been in that store at the time. I left shaking and crying not knowing what to do except Unilocal,write the Better Business Bureau and file an complaint on the sign.
He is a poor example of a human being… disgusting! And I am a preschool owner and mental health counselor, with a positive outlook on life, but wow… Never again will I set foot on their Chevron and hope those who read this go elsewhere. they go NO STARS!!!

I find it idiotic that the city would not allow the small tab on the gas nozzle to be exist on the pumps. You end up having to stand at your car, holding the pump. I would not like it when it is cold, or when there’s shady people around. I would not be able to defend myself unless I use the gas pump as a weapon.
Seriously, I would not like to be a truck driver with a 30 gallon tank, towing a boat that needs 15 gallons, you might as well pinch a tent.

pretty clean gas station here, french roast coffee at 1.29 for 20 oz wasn’t bad at all. friendly cashier also. (virgil)
