Bionic Chevron

Love the name. This place has a functioning vacuum and a spot cleaner (have not tried that). Totally needed a quick vac recently when I went to Beretania/​Keeaumoku Chevron first and their vacuum was out of order.
Bionic not only has well stocked food/​beverages but employees are nice as well. They have windshield squeegees out at the pumps — something increasingly rare these days.
I’m happy to fill up here because I can tell they care. I’m all about businesses/​people that care.

This gas station has everything I need when I need it. They have all the chargers, cords and do-​hickeys you need for your car. If you are a Safeway rewards member you can use your points for $ off your gas! I stopped in on this particular occasion to check the air in my tires at my TPMS had warned me to, lucky I did. I was able to purchase a Tire Pressure Gage for $ 3 and the air was freeeeeeeeeee!!! I didn’t have to fish around for quarters in my car. What a dream! Also there gas is a few cents cheaper than the next one up on Piikoi if you are buying the good stuff.
If I remember correctly they have a pretty decent beer and wine selection.

5 stars… open 24 hours, friendly staff, huge selection of beer, wine, even sake. Lots of snacks and drinks too

The beer selection is pretty good, but the gasoline tastes like crap.

If you need to go to the bathroom around the area. This place is you need to go. A/​c freezing cold and clean. Good customer service.

Surprisingly good selection of craft brewed beers and a good selection of wine too.
I think they also sell gas.

Store is cluttered, can’t see anything inside from the outside, the employees there aren’t real friendly, but what do you expect when you hire someone and pay them minimum wage, I met the owner, she’s a loud lady, I miss the old owner, they had nice Hawaiian ladies working there. Just saying that if you own a 24 hour convenience store, maybe you should take safety precautions And not block all your windows, just incase something happens to your cashier, people could be at the gas pump and not even know she or he is being robbed!

I’m not quite sure why they are called Bionic, but this is the closest Chevron to my house. That’s why I stop by so often. Chevron is my favorite gasoline company. I have not been in the store itself for years because I always pay with my card. Like most places you can pay with your credit or debit card at the pump.
There are a total of 8 pumps, which makes it fast during peak times. One great thing is that if you have a Safeway Club Card and spend enough money at Safeway, you get 20 cents off per gallon! I know at most I’ll save a couple bucks, but it adds up after a while. Another plus is that they offer free air and water. I don’t know why most places charge nowadays. Sometimes their air and water machine does not work too good though.
They also have complimentary squeegees with solution and paper towels to use to clean your windows. Trash cans are near the pumps too so you can unload trash from your car. I’m not sure if they have a restroom. If you do need to get some things from their store, they have several parking spots right in front.

Seldom do I see reviews on gas stations but believe it or not, usually these are the kinds of places you want to know a little more about them. Things like, are they clean, safe, reliable, cheap, and do they have air, oh and is the air free? Well… this little Chevron station has everything but a car wash and is known for its frequently out of order air and vacuum machine. I frequent this station because it’s generally cheaper than its competitor across the street and even cheaper than the Chevron on South Beretania and Keeamoku.
When it comes to overall appearance and cleanliness, it’s very much your run of the mill «kinda» clean gas station. The homeless in the area sometimes are hanging out along the outskirts but never on the property. It’s well lit, even past midnight (yes, they’re open) and all the pumps work. I’ve never gone in to buy stuff however it looks like a place people stop by to pick up stuff and even HPD frequents this station to pick up snacks.
Getting to this place takes some planning as you can enter only along Piikoi or on King and these are one way streets. It’s relatively easy to get in and out and there’s usually never a long wait to fill up. I’ll return someday to this review if they ever have that air machine working for more than a few days as I swear it feels like it’s never working.

Clean bathroom, need I say more. For some reason everytime we fill gas, the kids need to use the bathroom. Having a clean bathroom is a + in my book.
Located at the corner of King & Piikoi, this station is usually 1 cent cheaper than the one located at Beretania and Keeaumoku.
Haven’t bought anything from the convenience store however I always see people walking out with drinks and/​or snacks
FYI, the air machine isn’t always in operation (otherwise known as broken)

Okay, I gotta admit that I wouldn’t normally rate a gas station. But for one reason alone, I feel the need do give this one a shout out. I have been stopping by this place for years. It is conveniently located on the corner of a busy intersection. My main draw is the coffee syrups! YUP… you read it right! If you happen to like flavored coffee and do not want to pay the high prices for a cup of joe at the local bean places, this gas station has 5 different sugar free syrups to add a little bit of flavor to you cup of java. I have found myself on occastion even buying the sugar free syrup bottles to take home… the sugar free Kahlua is one of my favorites!
The store is clean and the staff is friendly too. As for the gas prices… well they are what they are… too high in Hawaii. LOL

I drove in to put air in my tires… and the machine is broken. Blah
Oh and it smells like pee… Gross… Gag… They need to wash and fix!

Located at the South East corner of Piikoi St. and S. King St., behind Golden Duck.
We use this station occasionally. Store seems to be always busy.
They have free air and water, and coined vacuum.
Used to use air for my bike tires. Sometimes broken.

Conveniently located for my needs :) Store sells basic gas station stuffs, plus a few extras I was surprised to see a «better» wine selection than just Boone’s Farm! and is kept pretty clean! Don’t know if there is a restroom, but I try to stay away from gas station restrooms!
