Valero

I came here because this was the only place I could find diesel nearby. It can be a hassle to find diesel and I give two stars for them having diesel at a good price. However, the cashier was rude, there was a line for us to wait and pay for our fuel because some ladies were busy redeeming lottery tickets. not the cashiers fault but after more than 5 minutes we started to complain and the fat cashier gives us attitude. arrogant jerk, people work, time is money. no apology for your rudeness either. thank god this was a one time deal, I was nearby and had no choice. I’ll stick to Chevron near my home… good quick service with a smile.

Good lighting and pretty safe although they usually have some sketchy people loitering near the bus stop
The prices here are usually a few cents cheaper than the Chevron across the street… although they’re mini mart pales in comparison to the Chevron’s…it’s still the perfect stop on my way home when I need to fill er up!

One of the cheapest 76 gasoline station in Long beach. The staffs are friendly, they even greet you before you even walk up to the cash register. Great selection from the «mart». Indeed a stop and go.

I swear, overnight this place has changed into a 76 Gas Station. Same prices as before, but c’mon! Give a guy a warning! Even though it’s one block from my house, I totally thought I made a wrong turn somewhere. I was very lost and frightened…

I actually passed up the Arco on 7^th because I knew that the squeegee and clean minimart awaited me if I just kept on driving to Valero.
Really, its a gas station… I’m not going to be hanging out here or anything, but its above par and therefore deserves appreciation.
Clean.
Friendly.
Cheap.
As Julie Andrews would say– «These are a few of my favorite things!»

Cheap gas but all you other customers are too f… in’ loud. Uh, people actually live in that building that you see in front of you while you’re pumping gas. Yes, that me (on the balcony) with all the tattoos smoking an American Spirit. I give Valero 3 stars for the sheer entertainment value of watching you all squeegee your entire car while other people are waiting to get gas. I’ve seen a full nude woman in the passenger seat of a car, crackhead fights, people tripping over the gas islands, customers trying to kick in the trash cans. You all are a hoot but certainly the best is when people think they can detail a Hummer with a 4″ squeegee and a napkin.
A gentle note: We who live in the building above the Valero don’t need to hear your plastic interior trim rattling because you have your cheap-​ass stereo blasting at astronomical levels. Guys, it’s a factory stock radio with speakers made in Taiwan. It can’t handle it AND it’s 3 in the F… in’ morning!!! You don’t need to open all 4 of your doors to pump gas. We don’t care who you listen to.
Expensive smokes here and they are doing some rennovation to compete with the Extra Mile opening up across the street.
+Please be considerate to the tenants and keep it down+

Cheap gas, hallelujah, and they take credit cards. The pumps didn’t go so fast, which was a bit irritating, but gave me a chance to squeegee my windshields. I feel squeegees are a necessity at every gas station, so I’m glad Valero delivers. Should you be pumping gas at 10:30 on a weeknight, it’s not crowded, but duh. The corner it’s on is busy, so pretty much the only convenient way to go in is heading south on Redondo.

This is the best spot to get gas in the Long Beach area.
It is routinely 8 to 35 cents cheaper than the other gas stations within the surroundings. Plus, it’s in a great location, so you don’t have to waste a bunch of gas driving to a cheaper gas station. By all means, stay away from the gas stations closer to the 405÷22÷605 freeways further down 7^th street. They are expensive, and most of the time it is hard to negotiate traffic and get to a pump.
BTW, it’s a Valero station.

I don’t like getting gas. It’s not something you can schedule and just happens at random. Sure you have a good idea of when you’re going to need it, but still…
It’s such an inconvenience most of the time.
There’s only two places that we usually fill up at. The first being the Costco in Fountain Valley. It’s right off the 405, on the way home from work and it saves you a couple of pennies at the same time. The second would be this Valero.
It’s busy whenever we go by, doesn’t matter if it’s 4pm and just minutes from home or at 6:30am and we’re headed to work. We take the lesser of two evils and hit it in the morning, because at that time in the morning it’s a little less busy and we’re not usually in better moods than
when we get off work.
They have a small store portion, so you can buy things you need, newspaper stands, etc. Basically what you find at most gas stations.
I like the fact that it’s close by and that it’s usually anywhere from 8 to sometimes 20 cents cheaper than other gas stations. Which I love.
Like I said, you don’t like having to do it, but you have to. I can’t wait to get a hybrid. Make my trips even less frequent. :)
