Morongo Gas

Service could be better. I have said Hi and Bye on multiple occasions with no response, the cashiers just continue to hold their previous conversation after they confirm what you want (they are super busy always). It may be because it is a sovereign nation, and a ²⁴⁄₇ highly trafficked truck stop but common courtesy goes a great ways… (I would give 5 stars except for this reason)
There are about 40 pumps they have diesel as well so space is ample, although i hear there are only 2 diesel pumps.
The reason why i stop here is the cheap gas! Always, 40 – 60 cents cheaper than other areas as i commute for work from Riverside to Indio. Today stopped and nearly filled up for $ 20! It was $ 2.43 a gallon for reg. Unleaded and i know at any arco in so cal it is at least $ 2.60 and your shell’s and chevron’s forget about it. Grab yourself some Lucas Fuel System cleaner at every 3k Miles and there is no reason not to purchase gas this cheap…
Oh, and Half off your car wash purchase if you get 8+ Gallons of Gasoline. Their car wash does not have the cloth spinners though they are those traditional plastic ones that spin and clean so if you are super protective about your paint job just a head up.
Also, You can only purchase I do believe $ 80 at a time at the pump with card so if you want to fill up, and your tank is on the larger side, things can get tricky and irritating.

*** Pit stop review (Cabazon) ***
Decent place to pull over to refuel when traveling through town.
Here’s what I liked…
* The refueling area is large and a lot of space to maneuver.
* Fuel prices are usually lower here compared to other stations.
* Super easy access in and out to the freeway.
* If you have time grab a buffet at Morongo right next door (only worthwhile on seafood day :-)
Here’s what I didn’t like…
* Only two lanes for diesel fuel.
* If there’s a huge semi or RV occupying the lanes it will take forever to wait for them to refuel their huge tanks!

We waited 30 seconds for a pump at Morongo gas station. Prices are super cheap under $ 3/​gal. Separate building for restrooms. Restrooms were clean and big and nice. Located Right next to Cabazon outlets and desert hills premium outlets. I could spend a month shopping here.

First pump I pulled up to was totally out of order. Second pump had a broken reader. This was after fighting the HUGE lines of cars trying to get in here. The store person wasn’t exactly helpful or friendly when trying to figure out the solution to the broken reader. And then to top it off, the pump was really slow.
On my second time here, all the gas had been shut off completely, no idea why. Wasted a trip off the highway through the weird roundabout where a local tribal cop cut me off.
I certainly won’t stop in here again.

This gas station is awesome! There are slot machines, all kinds of cool little items, and they have the best beef jerky! The staff that works there is also pretty cool. They always greet you with a big smile and usually will crack a joke. I worked in there as a vendor as well and the receivers and staff treated me very well. It’s just a bad ass gas station!

This place had the best gas prices in the area and seemed like a good place to stretch our legs after a long drive. Since there are so many lanes available, we didn’t have to wait at all to get to a pump, even though it was pretty busy.
We paid cash and service inside was slow. The girl working the register was not friendly and snatched my money without even a «Hello» or «Thank you.» I wasn’t pleased about that. They had a fair amount of snacks like your typical convenience store. They even had some slot machines inside, which I thought was odd, but hey, it is Morongo, right?
The restrooms were just a short walk away from the gas pumps and convenience store. The stalls were clean, taken care of, and didn’t smell, thankfully.
Overall, a good and safe stop for cheap gas and restrooms.

This gas station is always so busy. But it’s at the Casino and Outlets. Pretty safe. Police in parking lot. The bathrooms are usually pretty clean too but not on this stop. Overall it’s a good place to gas up and get snacks.

My car wash missed half of my car. See pic. Didn’t realize it until I was 200 miles away. I guess that’s eight dollars I’ll never see again.

For me, a gas station rating is based on the wait to get a pump, ability to pay with credit card, price, and accessibility.
1. They had about 30 pumps, so even though it was busy, it was easy to get a pump. No wait.
2. You can pay using Credit card. Saves you a trip inside.
3. A full 20 cents cheaper than the cheapest station I saw from LA to Palm Springs. And a full 40 cents cheaper than the closest station. Maybe they don’t have to pay the gas tax? It’s amazing. If you have a large tank, it makes a serious difference.
4. Easy to access from the highway.
I didn’t use their other services, so I can’t comment on the carwash or the mart.

I think this is a great place to stop and get gas. The rates are always 10 cents less then everywhere else along the 10. They have almost 30 pumps so you don’t have to wait.
Besides that they have a huge store with a good selection of snacks and drinks. Clean bathrooms and the car wash is only $ 4 for the cheap one. Can’t beat that.

Not a bad place to stop by for gas. The restroom is outside but there are several stalls and you don’t need a key. Great place for a pit stop.

Pumps have been updated and now it doesn’t take forever to get your card to be approved.

Told the woman handling the claim that I would send her a video, maybe a bad idea. here’s what you can expect if you don’t have someone guide you through.
and the outcome:

These gas prices are cheaper than the IE. You’d think it would cost more because you’re in the middle of nowhere plus being on a Indian Reservation. It actually was affordable and the staff were walking around the pumps to make sure the pumps were ok.
One thing that bothered me was it was taking forever to pump the fuel. I’m sure the Morongo tribe can afford to update the computer system.

Either the staff is incompetent or they’re just purposely making mistakes to keep you there longer so you’ll pump money into the slot machines. Happens every time I’m there.

The gas pumps software/​hardware is EXTREMELY SLOW, you figure they could afford faster gear. You have to wait a ridiculous amount of time before the pump engages to pump then another long wait for it to process before your on your way!

This is a great stop to or from the Coachella Valley. Clean restrooms, mini market and In & Out burger all in one stop.

If you read this Cindy & Mario, Lola, Dave or Louise, it’s nothing personal. I love you guys.
This is a favorite first fuel and coffee stop after the I-​10 trip leg from Quartzsite or Ehrenberg. Unlike Randy Newman, I don’t love L.A. and use a fill-​up here to bypass the crowded streets of the region. Parking lot freeways, 1920’s width surface streets, soup for air, thousands of people with interesting driving habits and jostling among the millions is too much reality for me.

Lowest prices of gas in the area…
Usually my stop on the way back to LA from the Desert.
Typical gas station snacks inside… but they do have a lot of flavors of Monster and Rockstar energy drinks… plus the huge Red Bull cans…
Slot machines inside for a quick gamble…
Restrooms seem to be hit and miss… sometimes spotless sometimes truck stop status… wait. this is a truck stop hahahaha!!!
Lots of pumps… CC machine at pumps is slow sometimes but who cares about waiting an extra minute…
Can be extremely windy and cold at (well Socal cold) so be carefull your car door doesn’t blow away when you open it…
Car wash located next door

Car wash messed up the paint on my truck.
Filed a claim now I’m having to fight them to cover the damages.
