Valero

The is where I go for all of my mechanical needs. The same mechanics have been here for years and every time I come, I always learn something new about my vehicle. I don’t know about the gas prices here and don’t particularly care. I come for the auto service. It is top notch. The mechanics here are extremely knowledgeable and the prices are reasonable. They usually have two mechanics here at all times, 7 days a week from 8am-​7pm and Sat and Sun from 8am –5pm. Jose and Mario are super professional.

Terrible service by the attendant. Different prices for cash and credit. Not all pumps take credit cards.

This spot charges the dreaded 45 cents to use your ATM/​Credit Card at the pump.
I stopped by the other day and was pleasantly surprised to see because I was using my ATM Card that it dropped the price by 9 cents a gallon.
For me it is easy in and out and right back onto 190^th.
As long as their prices don’t go crazy style, I will give them my business from time to time.

I am so worn out from people finding ways to nickel and dime you to death with fees.
This is one of the worst. They charge you more to use a credit card then if you pay cash. They charge you an extra fee (.45) to use a debit card.
I pump my own gas now, and I handle the entire transaction, and you charge me extra with no services? To me this is just crazy.
Where does it stop? Big oil is making record profits, and gas prices are super high, and they charge me a fee to use my debit card?
Just once not a second time.

It irks me when places charge more to use a credit card. Credit isn’t a new invention people! I’d rather business either accept it or not — don’t charge customers more to use credit!
Ok, now that I’ve got that out of my system… Average gas station for the area.

Avoid this place at all costs. Attendants are incompetent and rude. Go to Mobil down the street… It’s just about as cheap if you’re paying cash!

So after a day of interviewing and being told how horrible I was (I’ll Unilocal that place next) I get to my car and it wont start. Seriously?! Perfect, considering I have other places to be in the next hour! Here comes my AAA God (in less than 30 min, but I digress) jumps my battery and I’m off… so to frightened to take the 405 I stay on 190^th, and each time I take my foot off the gas, my car stutters and the ‘juice’ flickers. Oh no, you say right? Yeah, me too! So I stop at this Valero, totally expecting somebody to NOT help, but I am desperate… out walks Mario from the service area behind the gas station. He replaced my terminals on my battery, cleaned it, AND fixed the wiring (it was covered with corrosion) I seriously could have kissed him… I asked him how much the damage was… he said «Dont worry about it. But change your battery soon.» WHAT?! Your giving me advice AND not charging me for the work you just did for me?! Better believe I will be going back. His name is MARIO and he is kick ass…
