Fast & Easy Chevron

This place is horrible. Why are the machines always broken? The apparent convenience of its location is far outweighed by the fact that you will likely have to go to a different station because the credit card machines and pumps are always down. The most recent and final time I went the machine would not accept our cards so I went in to pay and they told me that machine is cash only, but I can pull out money from their ATM machine. We left without filling up and will not be returning.

This place has the gassiest gas in town! It’s a bummer that they try plotting with their deceitful signage. The left side (the cheaper number) is 20 cents cheaper ONLY if you buy a car wash too. Lol, so unless you’re buying a car wash, that’s the number you’re gonna pay. I got a car wash here once, and I think my car got dirtier. Anyways, just get the gas and then leave, we’re all killing the world burning fossil fuels anyway. Might as well bike from now on…

There’s usually not much of a wait at all at this Chevron location, in terms of getting gas. It’s really close by if you’re in South Davis, and the prices in Davis are cheaper than other big cities. The water you use to wash your windows are never clean, so that’s a bit of a letdown. The service itself isn’t that great since they don’t really seem to want to talk to you — it’s the least they could do. They don’t really give out much information about the car wash either, so you’re left to a little flier to make your decision. It’s definitely not a fancy car wash either because it’s ALL water (I think they coined it no-​touch wash or something). Other than that, it’s just a normal Chevron where you get gas.

I am not normally in this neighborhood but decided to swing in, fill up, and get my car washed. I paid $ 8 for a car wash, and then the car wash did not work. I went in and asked for a refund. The clerk could not refund my money — she did not know how. She said she could reset the car wash, but I would need to wait 20 minutes for it to work. I did not have that much time, so I asked for a phone number for a refund. I called the owner/​manager 2 days later and he did not want to refund me – wanted me to drive back for a free car wash. I said, «No. I want a check mailed to me.» It has been a month and no check. Read the reviews. They are thiefs.

Gas was more at the pump then posted, in small print car wash price per gallon. To top it off you have to listen to commercials while pumping gas.

I am a frequent customer of this gas station and have many positive and negative things to say about this station.
Postive
The gas prices are extremely cheap at this station with Safeway rewards. The gas pumping area is relatively clean and easy to maneuver in and out of the pump spaces. There is a Chinese restaurant attached to this station making it a convenient rest stop for those coming in and out of town.
Negative
I never realized how shady this station is until a problem came up. They offer 20 cents off per gallon of gasoline with a car wash purchase so I decided to get a car wash. To my surprise, the car wash damaged one of my tail lights and the business owner wouldn’t compensate for any damages. I tried to negotiate a compensation just for the part without labor and they still refused. Just to clarify, I drive a relatively new BMW and verified with the BMW service department that there weren’t any recalls on my specific tail light before writing this review. The dealer was happy to replace my tail light for me, but it cost me over $ 500. All in all, this station will not take responsibility for ANYTHING that happens to your car, so be aware of this before pumping gasoline or getting a car wash.

DO NOT BUY GAS HERE. I am disgusted by the dishonest way they advertise their prices.
I stopped in here because the price of gas at this station was low. When I got to the pump, the price was actually higher by THIRTY CENTS PER GALLON! I think it’s pretty scummy and dishonest the way they advertise their prices.

Well, I have purchased a lot of fuel at this station over the past 5+ years. I frequent this place because of the location and I prefer chevron fuels (the prices are also usually very fair). BUT, of all the chevron stations I frequent this one is the most «ghetto». The pumps are frequently malfunctioning, the store is always cluttered, and a little dirty. The last thing is the car wash, it would be better described as a car rinse. It was a pretty good car wash until they changed it to a touch less.

Fast and Easy? I think not. Ridiculously unreliable would be a better title. I have to cross my fingers whenever I drive into here because the machines have problems 50% of the time. The only reason I pump gas here is because it’s on the way home and I’m accustomed to how the machines work (if they work).
This may not be the owners’ fault, but they do not bother warning their customers ahead of time if the pumps don’t work or if the machine’s not charging credit at the moment. There is no sign on these indicating all of these issues when they occur. Thus, I have to run different scenarios in my head to avoid disappointment:
— If I drive up to the pump, realize on my own there’s a problem, then drive to another pump. ugh, annoying.
— If another pump fails on me, I give up and question the owners (and I want as little human interaction as possible).
— If one doesn’t work and I stand there confused, only luckily will the owner just happen to notice me and tell me through the intercom that all the stations don’t work. I scoff as I see another car pull into a different pump, not met with the intercom right away.
— And don’t pump your tires here because the hose leaks. I lost a lot of quarters for this. I calmly told this to the owners, and after they comprehended what I was saying, they sort of giggled and brushed it off. No «sorry for the inconveniences,» or «we’ll fix that right away!» but a «you should go to Jiffy Lube» instead.
— Be careful if there is a large truck at a station. It will most likely block either of the two entrances, and if you’re in the wrong direction, you pretty much have to do a U-​turn somewhere along Research park or Del Taco to get home. It would be nice if the owners asked the drivers to move (because there is ample space) and not create a blockade!
PUT A SIGN, JEEZ! It’ll be easier for the customers and you!
1 star for the gas I guess.

The chevron is in a great location with plenty of fast food restaurants around to support it, but when it gets really crowded, it’s hard to find a spot at the pump because there is barely any room to maneuver.
Oh and this is the first time I’ve seen TV at the pump… uhh really??? Haha. It was awesome!

Just a simple gas station. It’s located right by I-​80 which is really nice. Some of the credit card machines are ridiculously slow, so it’s better to go in if you can. This place is decently priced compared to other places in Davis. It’s not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. There’s a Chinese restaurant next door if you want to eat and then get gas.

Review is for car wash only. It sucked and did not completely clean my car. It used air and water pressure (NO brushes). Will not be coming back.

Conveniently located right before the freeway (unlike the shell that’s AFTER the freeway entrances). Annoying people trying to sell you car cleaning supplies while you try to pump gas appear every so often.
Air and water is not free here (like it should be according to CA state law!).

Not so fast and not so easy. Every pump was full with a waiting line due to demand, not their fault, but they had to ask everyone to turn off their pumps because the gas was pumping out so slow. In 5 min we only got a half gallon of gas! Whatever they did then worked because when the pumps went back on the gas was flowing freely again.

The gas is way more expensive than the options on Mace. I stopped in here to grab a soda on my way out of town and ended up spending a few minutes behind some folks buying malt liquor and lottery tickets. This would not be my first choice to stop in Davis.

If I were looking to invest in a moneymaking venture in Davis, I’d open up a shabu joint, because that ish is delicious. If that didn’t pan out, I’d rent out a chunk of space across the street from this gas station and set up my own.
The pumps break while in use. The card machine is always down. The car wash doesn’t work properly and nearly dented my car before sending me on my way without rinsing off the soap. The gas is exorbitantly expensive compared to pretty much everywhere else in Davis. And the employees have a lovely habit of giving you the side eye when you say that «insert gas station equipment» isn’t working.
I try to avoid this place at all costs, because both the Arco on Russell and the Arco near Target are dimes cheaper, and yet I keep fooling myself into going back.
It’s pretty apparent that they stay in business by virtue of geographic monopoly — the nearest gas station is on the other side of the overpass. For those of us living in South Davis, that one is a little too far away and similarly priced to justify the trip.
One silly little star for being the only gas station I drive by on my way to the freeway on-​ramp.

I love it when a gas station sells random stuff. Think of a combination between a ⁷⁄₁₁ and a smoke shop — paradise, no? Knives, cigarette rollers (but no tips?), papers, rolling tobacco, slurpies, energy drinks. There’s even a Chinese restaurant attached to the side. Quentin Tarantino would be proud.
Gas is decently priced and the station is conveniently located next to I-80…and Wendy’s and Del Taco. Easily my favorite gas station in Davis.

I find the gas at this Chevron to be one of the cheaper places in davis, but don’t expect to get any service from the cashier inside. They are about as helpful as talking to a wall. The fast & easy mart sells a variety of things — hats, cell phone chargers, slushies — you name it! But it seems a dirty inside if you know what I mean — I found dust on top of some of their items and some of which were even two years expired!
As for the gas station itself, no complaints when gas is decently priced. But the car wash is never working whenever I need to use it :(

This is the 2^nd time I’ve used the free car wash coupon that comes every quarter. For the Spring quarter, there are two free car wash coupons. So for my second time going through that carwash, I still have to say that the drying mechanism is inefficient and not idiot proof. So for the drying mechanism, there is a countdown timer starting from, I think, 70 seconds. So this time, I slowly drove up to the dryer. I drove slow, the dryer is blowing all of the water from the hood of my car, then my windshield, but wait, I still want it to be dryer! Reverse direction, 30 more seconds to get the rest of my car dry. Move forward… 30 seconds… what… the dryer stopped! I only got the front of my car dry! I really don’t know how to get my car completely dry using their dryer. Luckily, I have another coupon!

I was just driving back from the Emerald Bowl and needed another cup of coffee, not to mention filling up my gas tank.
Since I knew this was right off the freeway I stopped off and proceeded to pump at $ 1.77 a gallon. While my car was taking it’s fill of gasoline, I ran inside for some coffee. Again, I made my usual concoction of coffee/​vanilla cappuccino and since it was a little lukewarm, I nuked it in the microwave that was right next to the coffee machines. Two minutes and my coffee blend was soooooo hot, it was still warm once I reached Sacramento.
A quick stop off the freeway, clean, the clerk was probably a student at UCD and I’m all about education: a nice well-​lit gasoline/​convenience store for a long-​distance driver such as myself.
