Chevron

Joe’s customer service etiquette is completely out of Chevron’s core values. I know Chevron trains them well as much as possible. My experience with Joe here is not acceptable as a customer.
He refused to sell me lotto tickets on Dept card, claiming the owners own policy. When i demanded to get a telephone number of the owner he basically refused at first, and the number provided wasn’t working either.
And not to mention the attitude that follows. And i visit this station once a week at least.

The Asian lady that works at the counter just called me a thief. They sold me a bad product that didn’t work. When I went back in to try and get what I paid for, the lady said that it was used and that it wasn’t the one that I bought from them! I couldn’t believe it! I have worked hard, my husband has worked hard and to be called that when the blame was on them! I was just shocked, very very offended and just the worst experience I have ever had my entire life! Don’t go here! They will sell you bad products and then tell you your a THEIF for trying to get what you paid for. They should be ashamed of themselves!

Best gas station in Berkeley.
This gas station always has the cheapest Chevron gas in the East Bay. It is my go-​to place to get Chevron gas. I make sure to stop by this gas station and fill up whenever I go to Berkeley and I plan out my driving route to make sure I drive by it.
Plus it is a nice new station. Some Chevrons are old and grimy and do not have the latest logos or equipment, but this place everything is brand new so you know its good.
There are many pumps so you never get caught having to wait in lie, and they are nice and spaced out, so even if some nimrod doesn’t pull all the way forward you can still drive forward without waiting.
Downsides? The flow of traffic on the surrounding streets is a bit restricted, so you have to make some weird 3 point turns in the station in order to make sure you can head out facing the right way. You can’t make a left onto Shattuck coming out of the gas station, so you instead have to head right down Ashby, then make a right onto the street one block east of Shattuck, which is a bit grimy.
Still just plan out your route and enjoy the cheap high quality gas!

I would never buy gas here cause its way more expensive than Arco, but I do frequent this place for their extra mile munchies. More times than not, I’m blazed and starving, so when I get the urge, I come here to nosh. it’s not the greatest food, but in a bind, it will do. Also, the staff is pretty friendly.

Great beverage selection. General location was a little interesting… I was hassled by several people, whom I don’t think were even customers, as I was filing up the gas of my rental car. Gas prices also seemed slightly more inflated as it was closer to the University than other locations on the street. I was on business for work, so I paid the price for convience.

Cheap, crowded, nice staff, and Lotto. Good selection of beverages, 2 for 1 hot dogs (not dried out), Seattle’s Best coffee, and fountain sodas. No restrooms. That’s it. Isn’t that just what we all need?

Consistently the cheapest gas in the greater Berkeley/​Oakland area. I live in Oakland and go out of my way to get gas here. On average it’s about 10 cents cheaper than the other Chevrons.

I like they have a squeegee for the windows. I find a lot of gas stations don’t. And when you use your Safeway card, you may get either $.10-$.20 off per gallon (I didn’t know how this worked until someone explained it to me). For Berkeley, it’s probably the best price.

3.5÷5. This Chevron is very competitively priced. Situated at the intersection of Shattuck and Ashby, it’s very convenient if you’re headed south for the highway or have just finished doing your groceries at Berkeley Bowl. Getting back on Shattuck can be tricky, however, since the intersection is very narrow for the high traffic that passes through. There’s far more traffic than the road was designed for.

The Honest Truth: Best place to get gas in Berkeley! Consistently the cheapest and its Chevron!
The Details: This is my go to place to get gas in Berkeley. Always the cheapest (usually 10 cents cheaper than the one a couple blocks up on telegraph and ashby), hands down. There can be some homeless people that hang out there, so give them a couple bucks to get some food.

This is the only chevron in the entire bay area (including San Francisco, concord, Marin and Sunnyvale) where if you share a gas card with your family (each with individual cards), you cannot purchase a small amount of snacks, let alone a bottle of water from their store, even with proper identification.
If you are on your way out back home, out for trip or just looking for a quick snack, try the other chevron by shattuck (Near enterprise rental) or even the chevron (w/​store and car wash) by 55^th and telegraph ave.
Gas prices here may not be too bad compared to the others, but in terms of customer convenience, this location can do so much better.

Right next to a bus stop so if you run out of gas somewhere else, you can take the bus here to grab some gas for your stranded vehicle. And if you don’t have cash on you, no worries, it’s still the cheapest price for Chevron gas even when paying with plastic.

You know, I appreciate the points other Unilocalers have made about this place, but after today’s experience, I hope I remember never to come back here again. Very commonly, when I visit, I get hassled by panhandlers or other street hustlers. Today one guy approached while I was filling my tank and tried to sell me a CD of his music, then hit me up for cash. I politely declined and wished him luck, only to have a second guy come up to me and ask for money.

YES. CHEAP CHEVRON GAS! Especially with the prices hiking up like no other now, this place is golden!
MINUS the crazy taxi driver man that walked over and screamed at me for «taking a picture» of him when I was obviously talking on my phone. The craziness you get in berkeley every now and then!

I come here all the time because it is conveniently right off of Ashby. It is a lot larger than the Telegraph or Claremont one. It also takes card. I always come in, get gas, and leave right away.

Tried to charge us $ 150 for an oil change! When I laughed, he tilted his head back arrogantly and repeated the price. We have a large vehicle, but another shop had no problem giving us an oil change/​lube for $ 39. If he tried to rip us off, he’ll probably try to rip you off, too.

Why am I rating this Chevron when people usually only care about gas prices? (myself included). Well, they’re the cheapest in the area that I’ve tried, including other Arcos and Chevrons that advertise lower prices. How do they do this? Pretty simple: they don’t tamper with their meters. Logic says when I spend $ 40 at a cheaper gas station, then I should get more gas in my tank. Not so with at least three other stations (1. Arco on Telegraph/​Alcatraz 2. Chevron on Telegraph/​55^th 3. Arco on Shattuck 51^st).
At first, I swear I thought I couldn’t do math when these 3 stations had lower prices on gas, yet then I noticed that I was filling up with 15+ gallons at times when I only have a 15 gallon tank.
So I hop over to this Chevron, throw $ 40 of gas in my car, and it almost fills the whole tank. I’d call the BBB or the po po on the other stations to teach the owners a lesson, but it ain’t worth my time.

By far the most cheapest gas around the Alameda County and best of all, it’s a Chevron. I work near Berkeley downtown and gas prices around the city is way above the average gas prices but after finding this gas station, I stopped searching. It’s remodeled and updated. It’s the real deal.

+1: Cheapest Chevron gas in the area.
+1: No lines.
+1: Convenient location.
+1: Pumps are new, cleaning fluid and towels are readily available, store looks clean and bright.

The chevron here sells cheap gas and diesel. probably the cheapest of any chevron station. only alameda and castro valley chevron are priced as low.
the only problem here is reentering traffic on shattuck ave. traffic is heavy. sometimes it takes more than a few minutes to get on my way which is why i hesitant now to fill up here.
traffic now is much heavier than in the past.
