Los Gatos Chevron

smh … poor customer service … I stop for gas all the time and have bought stuff from their store on several occasions … I asked them to turn on the air for my tires and was told that I need to buy something or gas first. wow. and all the times I have, I should have been given a complimentary air coupon. ppfffft. rme.

Quick and easy access to Highway 9 — prices are a bit high, but definitely lower than the Shell across the street. Typically crowded.

OMG — did I make a mistake by returning for a car wash here again after 2 years of thinking that I would not return?
Classic car wash on Lark closed at 5:30 today and very badly in need of a car wash for a black car! So thought I’d risk the long time broken dryer that perhaps was fixed finally within the past two years. Well for one thing the prices have increased! And perhaps the equipment had either been fixed or renewed?
After patiently waiting to go through the wash I was shocking faced with the fact that the entire car was sopping wet, not just a few major spots or sections as in times in the past. SO just to spare myself the aggravation (should the same man own/​manage the place who was always present 2 years ago, I just went to the gas tanks and took a bunch of paper towels and began drying the car by hand. Unfortunately while drying the water off when I got to the back of the car, the entire back window as well as the entire trunk top was full of dirt! The wash entirely missed the entire back of the car that I was washing! Now that was worth speaking up about — the same owner/​manager with his same smug attitude with the same excuse filled behavior decided to give me a coupon to drive the car through a second time and said the dirt avoided by the machine on the entire back of the car was not due to a malfunction of the machine but was because I did not use the gas station squeegee first to soften up the dirt — WHAAAAT — ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME??? Charge more than Classic Car Wash ($ 10 for the Deluxe outside only without a dryer but you first need to manually use a gas station squeegee to soften up the dirt manually prior to driving through the car wash!!!).

Really excellent gas (according to my vehicle).
More expensive than other gas stations just across the border from Los Gatos (lost a star).
Reviewing gas stations is silly.
3 stars

I was on E, have recently changed my address multiple times and didn’t get my zip code right. I went to pay inside (sign & show my ID) and the woman working intercepted me, ordered me back the pump to enter my zip again. I told her i didn’t know it and wanted to sign and show ID and she said ‘no! you have to know your zip code!’ physically blocking the doorway and refusing to even let me inside. Um… couldn’t I have entered my PIN or something instead?!? I just can’t believe she straight refused to help me. I’m sitting here writing this and she is even arguing with other customers at the pump. Plus one pump is out of order. I don’t expect much from a gas station. But this woman was ridiculous.

Clean, good location and with my office next door, can run in and grab files when my truck is filling up. Works for me. I think some drugs may get sold out of there because once a month or so, someone gets arrested there.

It’s kind of strange to rate a gas station because they all seemed so similar to one another and they’re not the kind of business where you get attached to and become a «regular.» However, I’ve always been pretty impressed with this Chevron. I stopped in the other night to fill up my car and use the restroom. The attendant was very friendly and they had the cleanest fuel station bathroom I’ve ever been to… ever! It smelled like bleach and vanilla, which is a surprisingly delightful combination. Now let me stop here and say that my opinion should care some heavy weight here. No, I’m not being conceited. In my past life, I worked inspecting gas stations monthly, so I’ve actually been in hundreds of stations all over California. True story. Anyhow, this place is on point, despite it being a Chevron so the gas is never the cheapest in town.

A little pricey, even for a Chevron, but open late, which is awesome. I stop by here on my late night trips back over the hill when I need gas.

After dining close by this is a no brainer. Close to the 17 freeway and everything else.
Clean and their convenience store carry my favorite white Mountain Dew! A ++!
