United Oil

Dirty but great gas prices! The pumps pump fast which is always nice to get out as quickly as possible. They have a snack bar type thing but no mini market. Not that I needed one. I was int he area and Gas Buddy had them priced well. I think they were the lowest in the area.

Owner is rude… has turned off pump in me multiple times because they want to leave 15 minutes before close… will take my business else where… suck to be them I commute over 500 miles a week.

Not bad, the pumps aren’t really fast but they usually have the lowest prices in the area. No convenience store, just a shack

I have been a loyal customer for years. Most employees are very polite and kind. Ricky however was flat out rude! The woman in front of me paid for gas, and asked him a question. He completely ignored her. When i asked for some smokes, he yelled at me, «What else do you want!» I was almost tempted to cancel my gas order. Let’s hope he was just having a bad day? I refuse to patronize a place where I’m yelled at by hostile employees.

Worst gas station I have ever had to use.
They aren’t helpful when the card reader is broken on the pump.
Go somewhere else for gas!

This gas station has consistently offered lower gas prices than most gas stations in the area. Too bad the clusters of automobiles, struggling to get an available pump, remain just as consistent.

I’m appreciative of this gas station being one of the lowest-​price gas stations within a 10-​mile radius, but I expected that this gas station would be available ²⁴⁄₇ as advertised. It seems that there are times, at shift changes, where the pumps are shut off. It was midnight and I was tired. We had cars at all the pump stations, and the previous shift worker was still inside the cashier’s booth and wouldn’t turn on the pumps. I’m not sure if it was because of policy or not, but this is just a forewarning to those who would be caught in similar situations to just be careful; if you can wait, then wait, if not, then it’s going to be really hard to find another gas station that would actually be open at that time.

The prices for gas are almoat always cheaper. My chief complaint in when they go on break they post a hand written «back in ten minutes. They don’t say when they left for the break, then you wait the ten minutes and they’re gone for another 5 – 10 after you’ve already waited the posted «back in ten»

Yes this gas station is conveniently located on a corner however there’s always a traffic jam getting in and out. Recently their credit card machine was down so the transaction was cash only. Of course there were no signs indicating this which would have saved allot of time for those of us who did not have cash. Waited 15 minutes to get to a pump, insert my credit card, says see cashier and only then did I see a sign saying cash only on the window. Considering it was a busy time of day people getting off work, it would have been nice if there was a sign stating cash only so you didn’t have to wait for a pump to open only to pull up, stop your engine, get out of the car just to be disappointed you wasted so much time for nothing.

Consistently cheapest gas around. No fee to use ATM card, you just have to remember to push the marked ATM/​Debit button first. Always the cleanest, nicest looking station around. Sometimes there are lines, but that is to be expected at their prices. Just time your visits, or be patient. Thank you owners for a great looking station, with great prices.

Plus: Only one. Inexpensive gas. usually within a few cents per gallon of Costco.
Minuses: Several. Middle of the day is nuts — too many cars trying to maneuver into the pumps. Go early in the a.m. or late at night. Also, if you want the cheapest price (using ATM), you have to understand the setup is rigged against you. You have to swipe your card AFTER you press the little button that says debit. Otherwise it assumes Credit card price and there is nothing you can do except cancel the sale and start over. Furthermore, the three flavors of gasoline are arranged from highest price to lowest (left to right) so it would be easy to pick up the wrong nozzle and end up paying many cents more per gallon. About ¹⁄₃ of the time, the receipt printers don’t work at the pump. You have to go the attendant and have them print one out for you. Except this a.m., I ended up waiting at least five minutes during a shift change. They put a sign up «SHIFT CHANGE IN PROGRESS — PLEASE WAIT». And they won’t look at you, completely ignore you while the line grows and grows.

Just echoing other reviews… The CHEAPEST gas in Clairemont, maybe in the whole city. They usually beat Costco, so if you live nearby, check your YP app (or whatever you use) before filling up anywhere else. I quit cigs two months ago, but the prices on those are rock bottom as well. Bring cash for the best price on gas!

ATM is blocking pump #7 and people get pist at you when you park next to it. Who ever put it there needs to move it.

Best gas prices in San Diego. Convenient and easy.

I like the prices at United Oil, and we’ll go out of our way to buy smokes here, because they are the cheapest I’ve found anywhere. I do however have one gigantic pet peeve about this place, for some unknown reason, they completely stop waiting on customers while they do «shift change». Now, I have a restaurant, and we change shifts constantly– I simply can’t imagine what would happen if we just stopped serving people, cooking food, closing checks etc… for upwards of 10 minutes (not kidding, this is not a 1 minute thing)
Please — change your shift change policies (I watched 4 separate customers give up in disgust with the wait this afternoon!)

This place is always a clusterf*ck. If you try to come here from 12−6pm, good luck. Grab a snickers.
Other than that, the gas is consistently the cheapest in the area.

Cheap fast 24hrs, best prices around — always!

Cheapest gas and cigarettes around in Clairemont. Definitely the gas station you should go to when you’re in the area.

I give this station 4.5 stars as it not only has cheap gas, but it has anchored a corner in the heart of Clairemont (Clairemont Mesa x Clairemont Dr) and made it attractive. There was a 76 station there for years that was always about 20 cents more than anything else around. As a result the Clairemont cheapskate bargain shoppers would not go there unless they were literally running out of gas. So there would be about 4 people a day that would use the station.
Then Limited Oil, which obviously goes by United oil, as Limited wasn’t generic enough, bought the place and turned it into an beautiful station, along with brimming pots with flowers and vines. They planted trees and gave the place a face lift.
Then their brilliant business plan clicked for us, the card carrying cheap stakes, started coming back as they are 12 cents cheaper than any other mid range station in Clairemont. I buy all my gas there.
Make sure you bring cash as credit is 4 – 6 cents more… Cheap cigs there too, but why would you want to pay for cancer. No drinks or candy. But just friendly immigrants happy to take your money for pump # 6… Rarely do you have to wait for a spot as there are 4 rows and 10 pumps… ATM on premises.
