Esso

I am doing my year end receipt reconciliation, therefore, I am catching up on misc reviews for the year, this being one of them. Came here for a fill up in May and filled 13.36 L @ 1.49 Used self serve pump.

We stopped here to gas up the rental car before returning the vehicle to Hertz at Vancouver International Airport. Very close to the Airport — maybe 2 – 3 miles from YVR.
We pre-​paid inside, authorizing x amount of dollars towards gas. We under-​estimated and had to go back in and pre-​pay another chunk in order to fill up the tank.
This is also a full-​fledged convenience store.

Do not go here if you want to use their vacuum or if you want decent costumer service! There are 4 vacuum stations but I was told that only one was working. I put in my two dollars and there was barely any suction. I went in to complain and he said he’d give me a dollar back. I said I put in two dollars and he said I’d have to write to the company and they would send me a check! Then he decided that he would look at the vacuum because the company just checked it last night and said it was working. He put his hand to the nozzle and said see it’s working. I showed him how it wouldn’t even suck up a pine needle and he said that’s how it works! Whatever dude… you suck but your vacuum doesn’t!

Love the spaciousness here, esp. when you can’t make a left onto Burrard from 4^th so I just head straight, turn right into the gas station, and another right back onto Burrard.
Helps a lot during that no turn left restriction during rush hour.
And like how the vacuum/​air station is on the far left, away from the cars coming/​going.

I have never been treated so poorly by service personal. I wanted a carwash so I went inside and paid for one. When I drove around to the entrance there was no service person to help me and it’s not a carwash place where you can just punch the number in, you have to have someone assist you. So I went back inside to ask the man at the front counter for someone to come help me. At this time I get honked at by the gentleman that is supposed to be running the carwash. It was evident that he was washing his own car which is why he wasn’t there to help me. After honking at me, he rudely tells me to get back in my car. Once through the carwash, I saw that he was taking his own personal car through the wash for a second time. I will never go back there. Also the car wash is the type on tracks, which is much less convenient.

Was in need of fuel over the weekend, and was stuck in downtown (where it seems like there is only one in town… really now?), so riding on fumes trying to reload my 4-wheel’d ride with some juice I came off the Burrard Street bridge and stopped here. This gas station has already kept the premises clean, as we were here and they had one of their attendants using this weird pumping device, cleaning all the fluid used to clean your windshields. The inside of the place (On the Run store) was very clean too, and if you need to use the washroom, they need to buzz you in, no key needed, just ask.
So if you ever need a gas station that also has a clean washroom, here it is, just note that if you want a place with napkins to wipe, this one doesn’t have any so you can fill up the garbage can. If your going Eastbound on 4^th, and your running low, just remember, this will be your last gas station along this road till you almost get to highway, just as a side note.

This Esso is the spot to buy last-​minute candy for eating at the movies. I always find myself here buying Skittles right before heading to a movie at Fifth Avenue. The $ 3 price certainly beats the $ 5 or so the theater charges.
Service is always very professional and serious. Really, that’s about all I can say about this here gas station.
