Kautz Chevron Service

SUPERIOR STATION. Cleanest bathrooms, friendly staff, large gas filling areas for ease of use with trucks & RV’s. The gas pricing is usually competitive to other nearby stations that don’t have near the amenities this one has. As a local resident, I always recommend this station to anyone who asks. If you’re traveling & forgot something, they probably have it inside their store. It’s ALWAYS worth driving the ‘Extra Mile’ for their services.

A nice gasoline station in the heart of Grover Beach, clean and nice, and very large, surprised they had multiple air nozzles at the pumps, and clean washer fluid as well. Now for the bad, they advertised a low price on there lighted sign, but the pump price was higher, must pay cash to get the lower price.

I got the highest paid car wash. It got most of the car exterior clean, but didn’t get get all the debuts. Somewhat disappointing considering I had my car washed a week before…

Cleanest Bathroom ever been in, no water pressure to rinse hands. sucks!
Huge lot with plenty of pumps (6)islands spread out with lots of room. Free air at each pump with compressor to keep up.
Air, fire wood, propane, flag poles/​flags, great wine selection, and friendly employees .
You will find what you need here!
DO NOT WASTE $$ ON CAR WASH!
Complete joke!!!

I always find this location odd when it comes to customer service. When I’m in my work clothes (dress shirt, tie, slacks, dress shoes) I always seem to encounter a cashier who is less than willing to help me out. If I come in here with shorts, flip flops, and a tank top, the same cashier will be nice with me. I guess they have a «No shoes, no shirt, no professional attire, no service» policy that I’m not aware of.
All that changed when I got a Chevron card so now I don’t even have to go inside anymore. So remember, if your job requires you to dress business like, don’t get gas here unless you’re willing to pay with plastic.

fastest air in town great in and out service

Clean gas station with car wash, mini mart with lots o’ goodies and friendly staff.

The automatic car wash is a total waste of money and should be decommissioned– The wind at the beach would’ve dried my SUV better than this thing did. If you can maneuver around the out-​of-​towners gassing up their toys and big boy trucks, you have to bypass the panhandlers hitting these people up for money. (they avoid me: I’m always in my work clothes and they know they make more money in a day than I do!!) For a less uneventful journey to a Chevron Station, go to the one by the Arroyo Grande Village. For a better freakshow and 20 cents more a gallon, visit the Chevron on 5 Cities Drive. It shares the lot with McDonald’s and the Regional Transit Bus Stops are across the street — but that story’s for another day!

I just left this gas station a moment ago extremely dissatisfied and with that horrible feeling where I know I’m being ripped off and there’s nothing I can do about it.
They have a huge brightly illuminated sign with their gas prices listed, like almost every other gas station. When I dipped my card and selected the regular grade of gasoline I was charged ten cents more than the sign advertised. I got my receipt and went indoors and spoke with an associate named Jason, and before I could finish asking my question he cut me off and informed me that there is another sign (much smaller, not illuminated, and actually blocked by the larger sign) and on that sign it has the correct prices listed. He offered no help, and assured that it was perfectly legal to advertise that way. Clearly, I’m not the first person to question their practices, but I wish someone would have warned me before I dipped my card.
Being charged 10 cents more per gallon is annoying, but the worst part is that they are aware of the confusion this is causing and have no problem ripping people off.

Good gas prices, quality fuel, easy to access pumps, clean restroom, friendly staff and a great selection in the store.

I too never thought I would write a review of a gas station, but I drive a large amount for work, my work territory is Van Nuys to Paso Robles. When I am up north I always stop at this station, to get gas, get hydration and snacks and use the immaculate bathroom. They are always super friendly and well stocked.

Well… it’s a gas station.
Some of the nice features are:
1. Decent store
2. Propane
3. Big pull through spaces which is great for RVs and big trailers
4. Free air at every gas pump
5. Car wash (though I tried to take my lifted dodge mega cab through and the truck was to big) so I don’t recommend big trucks use the car wash. It’s not a truck wash. ;)

Gets 1 star because it is clean, it does have nice employees, and that is the least number of stars I can give.
Here’s why:
Last week I took an older car in to get washed, and after spraying the car with soap, the wash abruptly ended. I drove around to the front, they gave me another wash code, and then it worked. When I later looked at the car, it didn’t really get everything clean.
So today, I have a brand new car with a thin layer of dust on it. I consider going through this wash again thinking it should be fine since it doesn’t need much to get clean. I enter the wash and it sprays my car with soap, then tells me to back up. I back up, it tells me to drive forward. Stop. Sprays with soap again. «Back up.» On and on like this. I drive around to the front thinking, «come on, this happened TWICE?!» 2 for 2, yes. I get another wash code and drive around, only it’s not working for anyone, yet they haven’t shut it down. They re-​set it, but then tell me the sensors are shot, but we try again with the employees watching. It just sprays a little water and soap and stops. So they give me a refund, but I am now left with a brand new car with soap sprayed all over it.
To the business: If the car wash doesn’t work, SHUT IT DOWN and don’t let people go through it anymore!!! And if you spray someone’s car with soap, either wash it off or pay someone else to wash it off, but don’t leave your customers worse off than when they went in. A refund just isn’t enough, because now we are forced to get the car cleaned or risk damaged paint.

Cleanest gas station in the world! Desma and Allison rock!

My friends, one place on Unilocal I never thought I would review is a gas station but every now and again, ones defaulted expectations of a place are so shattered, so mangled, so unrecognizable to the point where dental records are consulted to confirm that YES, this is a ‘gas station.’ After shock subsides, the only remaining rational would be to burst into a sea of confusion and disbelief immediately followed by a pressurized urge to tell somebody, anybody, that there are still some corners of the globe, even after being buried under a corporate chain who actually… care.
I’m a traveling musician who has played in upwards of 200 shows a year. There are few people on the planet who know the sad song of a gas station at 3am more than our breed of human. Oh the stories of fill stations, mini marts and unsavory bathroom trips we could tell. From the largest Chevron in the world just southwest of Vegas to an old full service hole in the ground somewhere on the border between California and Oregon. And oh LA, you rude, rude place, how I love-​hate all your stoic, employees, just a few hair-​trigger moments away from a psychotic episode. –After all, our drummer received death threats from attendants in a Thousand Oaks station one afternoon, poor bastard only had to go to the restroom in a hurry but was instead made to witness the last fuse gasp of one such madman.
In the burbs it’s a different tune but no less reasonable– always young kids mimicking a Kevin Smith movie they’ve scarcely heard of as it was conceived around the same time they were. I too mirrored that movie not long after its release as a clerk a horrible gas station in western PA at one earlier point of my life. From that vantage I’ve taken in my share and I can see how the aforementioned madness can possess even the soundest of men more accustomed to predictable labor. Yes, I’ve met more breeds of interesting people at fill stations then any other commonplace I can recall and from both sides of the glass no less. Either way you look, in the lingering early AM, these places are the circus freak show of the 21^st century.
My friends, as music makers and road warriors, while we plot our trips against our hazy recollections of the better pit-​stops we’ve had on the mirror trip before, not a one has ever merited a review until this one. Why then, gods of gas stations do you have to put the Mecca of them all so close to where I live?
Let’s play a game of ‘never have I ever _​_​_​_​_​_​_​in a gas station until here’ (and I know what your thinking, yes I have and no not here).
1) Have been genuinely greeted when entering.
2) Had an attendant leave the counter to ask me if I was finding what I needed and if I needed any help while I was deciding what to get to eat.
3) Found the place to be cleaner in and more organized than most high end grocery stores.
4) Found the attendants to be so obsessive compulsive to the level that if they did have down time, they were sweeping, cleaning or attending to customer needs.
5) Seen a cleaner more organized restroom –with a dual flush toilet no less.
6) Seen an attendant actually care about their job more.
Sometimes I go here for no reason at all and buy something just so I can be reminded that some places still give a damn well after the fallen days of wheel activated bells and hatted uniforms. In a nanosecond driven culture, we’re elated when our fast food cook managed to remember ‘no mayonnaise’ on two consecutive occasions at the drive-​thru, I suppose the same goes for a gas station that made me feel like a valued customer a few times as to prove the formality was no accident. I hope someone reads this. I hope someone notices. I hope someone takes note that in a world where everyone is after the cheapest fractions of gas prices and damn the fool who takes my change, a little respect fills the soul faster than any fraction of a cent can ever match.
Thank you Kautz Chevron of Grover Beach, you win the title of best gas station I’ve ever been to and BELIEVE ME I’ve been to a lot.

This place kicks ass. Before the rebuild, it was a shit hole and a total waste of space. Now, you got what basically amounts to a convenient store, pumps that are easily accessible, and best of all, the only touchless car wash in town! On top of that, it’s the best for lowered cars as you will not scrape anywhere, and just as good for trucks as it’s wide and tall!

After an awesome day of 4 wheeling on Pismo Beach, a thorough wash down of your vehicle is a must, unless you want it to turn into a rust bucket.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find this Chevron gas station with the car wash, including the undercarriage wash, for less than $ 10. It’s a small robotic carwash, so it won’t be as good as the hand wash places. So, you might consider doing it twice.
In the past, we’ve used the stinky self-​service place down the street, but we typically spend about $ 10 there too.
Also, they have free pressurized air at each fill station, a nice bonus.
