Bill’s Chevron & Tire

I will assume this business was bought out in the last couple years since the last Unilocal review was about two years ago and it sounded like it was run by someone completely different. In Oregon you can’t pump your own gas. Pretty much everyone knows that. I’m from Washington State but travel here from time to time. I pulled up to the pump since it was a Chevron and I’ve always got good service and gas at Chevron Stations.
I got out of my company car and went to the pump and put my credit card in and entered my «Secret» 4 digit code. Before I could press the enter key the older attendant man came up and said «Get your hands off my pump!». I took my hands away from the pump and at first I thought maybe he was joking with me as he stated to say how its a $ 25,000 fine for me to pump my own gas. I told him I wasn’t pumping gas and was only entering my credit card information. He said I can’t touch his pump unless I have $ 25,000 in my pocket AND I’m willing to forfeit my car. I told him he will need to press the enter key for me and also enter my odometer. I gave him my odometer and I’m pretty sure he entered it wrong and pressed enter again. I walked back and got back in the car as he was telling me how he has seem many «Out of Staters» and «Canadians» loss there cars and he could call the police and I could explain to the judge how I was «Only» entering my credit card information.
I almost never give one star as I can always find something good about a place. Avoid this place like the plague if you are smart! It’s obviously not what it was a couple years ago and this man doesn’t like out of staters or people from Canada.

I am a single woman that recently moved to Waldport. My cars battery died leaving me stranded at my house. Being that Waldport, is such a small town I was sure that it would take Triple A a few days to get so eome to me. I felt a bit panicky as I was totally stranded! I know no one here…
I decided to call the Chevron station in town to see what they suggested I do. I got to speak with a fine gentleman named Merlin. He was fabulous. He told me that their station was the Triple a contact and thAt they had the battery I needed in stock! The existing battery was definitely on its last leg… He told me to call Triple AAA and that they would call him. He was at my door within 15 minutes! I was blown away! He was very professional, respectful and made me feel very comfortable. He got the car started then had me follow, him to, the station where he immediately installed a new battery and windshield wipers.
Everyone at the station was very nice and they seemed to have a team attitude. I would go there again in an instant!!!
Thanks to Merlin for his help! I really had been feeling lost…

I NEVER write reviews for a gas station, but this one is the exception. We were vacationing on the coast and drove through Waldport on a Thursday evening. The Chevron station was pretty much the only option available in the area. I wish I knew the guy’s name, but he said he was formerly a tattoo artist and proceded to tell a couple jokes, cleaned the windshield, filled the tank and offered my pup a couple dog treats. Really personable guy who is obviously aware of good customer service. Seriously, great service and if I am in need of fuel near Walport again, I will choose this station. Thanks!

This time on our annual pilgrimage to Waldport we had an issue with one of our tires.
Honestly, we thought we needed new tires but Bill’s crew diagnosed the problem as a slow leak in one tire.
Yep, he could’ve sold us a whole new set (our truck is 4WD so you have to replace all 4 tires) but instead charged us $ 20.
Bill, we love you. From the woman on the knee scooter. :-)
