Chevron Stations

«ripe, tangy odor of cow manure»
That is the public perception of this area– according to
.The gas station is located close to the Harris Cattle Ranch and Harris Ranch.
This Chevron station has everything that you need when traveling north or south on the I-​5 freeway. The bathrooms are located on the outside of the building, easily accessible. It is only during major holidays that you have to wait to pump gas. Most of the time there is always a pump available. To locate this station I always look for the red Harris Ranch sign, then I know it is time to get off the freeway for a pit stop.
Everyone, including the furry pet «children», enjoy getting out of the cars and stretch their legs. On my last trip, I saw this dog on the grassy area strechting his four legs for the longest time. The girl holding the leash pulls on it, shouting «hurry up and pee» LOL.
If you have a Vons reward card, you receive a gas discount, I am not sure what it is, I don’t have a Vons card. :) The casheirs are very friendly and pretty quick, even when it gets busy. For my travels, this gas station becomes half way point going south or north. If you do not mind the odor in the air or learn (adjust) to it, this gas station is a well deserved pit stop. Enjoy!

This is the gas station stop to go… lots of gas stalls, pretty big store for things you need, snacks and their bathroom has lots of stalls. The bathroom is pretty clean and stocked with toilet paper as you know, girls need it… haha. We usually go to this Chevron as we like Chevron gas than others but of course, this station is higher priced since its by highway 5; half way to Los Angeles.

Always my spot to stretch on my drive from LA to SF. Clean and very well lit station. Plenty of pumps and parking just to rest. The exit is easy to remember as its on the opposite side of Harris Ranch and Coalinga is just something that sticks in my mind.

This is a big gas station! They literally have everything you need. They have a wide variety of snacks, and drinks. Gas attendant was very friendly. Great Customer Service. Restrooms needs a little more maintenance attention. Bought a lot of lottery tickets here… Lol.

***This Chevron is located off the freeway on the way to and from San Francisco; like most gas stations along this freeway, prices are very high though this one is easy getting in and out of due to the high number of pumps (this gas station location is most convenient if you are heading south)***
Several free parking spaces are available if you just need a snack, drink or to stop in to use their restroom.

awesome for a travel stop! big and roomy outside restrooms… I would definitely be back! Super clean and is a one stop shop for gas and food… i was greeted with an early «good morning» and the cashier made me feel very comfortable as a customer… awesome service!

Great little pit stop. Clean bathrooms
And great products at good pricing. You can also use Safeway or Von’s gas points to drop the prices down a bit. Across the street Is a nice little walk way to stretch your legs too,

A big gas station, a big snack shop. Many types of snacks you can buy, dazzling my eyes.
I-​5 highway is really hard to find a gas station. I suggest you fill up your gas tank before you leave the Bay Area. Our gas light was on for 15 miles before we could find this gas station. But around this one, there are a couple others like 76 and Valero. Chevron is the most expensive one among all. $ 0.03 more expensive than Valero.

Your standard stop for gas and a visit to the mens room. Bathroom was decent not like the usual party of paper towels thrown around.

Aside from the smell of this place on any given day just about … any time of the day, this is really a nice, clean and well stocked, well lit gas station.
I thought I was having some car issues, and frankly my plumbing needed relief anyway so I stopped by here to check out the car, use the facilities and maybe stave off my hunger with a protein shake, should they have any.
First, the restroom was pretty clean, and it had paper! It’s so hard to find a nice and well air conditioned restroom these days. Then, there were the actual soap suds in the windshield cleaner tub, which of course is another rare find since most gas stations just put dirty water in there … or never change it.
Finally, I thought the convenience part of the store was quite well stocked, they had not only protein shakes, but three different kinds. Win. Served my purposes!

I regularly drive from San Jose to Phoenix. This is a regular stop for me. Normally I stop just to use the restroom and get a snack as it is a good first stop.
There are a lot of pumps and the price of gas is comparable with the other stations here. What really puts them above the rest is the store.
The selection is amazing and service is great. On top of that the restrooms are always spotless!

It was one of those quick stops at 2am to load up on all those things that are a great excuse to break my diet like a giant Diet Coke and flaming hot chips! I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the property and the friendly engagement by the guy working the counter. He was extremely accommodating for 2am and I dig that. Woke me up enough to get back home safely!

This location has plenty of pumps so don’t plan on having to wait around for one to open up. Other than that, it’s just your average gas station. But, the prices are lower than along other stretches of the 5 in the area so if you can make it to this location, it’s in your wallet’s best interest that you do.

Lots of fueling stations, very bright.

On the road from LA to Redding, this is an average gas stop, but your best option at this exit. You are better off trying to hold it until you get farther north to someplace like Santa Nella, which has better gas prices.

Best gas station bathroom I’ve been too. And it’s pretty clean & doesn’t stink for the most part. Good job, Chevron!

Clean, convenient, and stinky. If you can put up with the smell of thousands of tons of cow manure, this is a good place to get gas and use the facilities.

ahhhhh mannnn!!! I’ve been to Coalinga before, but this was my first time exiting here to get some gas on my way down to LA. IT SMELLED LIKE S***!!! LITERALLY!
The station was clean, can’t say anything for the service because I stayed at the pump, but I spent at least a half hour afterwards airing out my clothes, car, and lungs!

Coalinga! Oooh, is that something dirty ;)
Yes, Coalinga. I’m guessing… population, 100? Oh wait, no, more like 103, because you have to count the passed out guy at the entrance of the driveway and the two Latin guys drunkenly trying to whistle at me as I was pumping gas, but instead could only get out a «shhh shhh shhh.» I’m sorry, but did I miss something? Is this the new cat call for ’09? Did I miss the memo on this one? Pshaw!
As for the gas station employees, very friendly and smiled. And given my present looks department state that consisted of really baggy jeans, a red t-​shirt with a pirate skull holding a bottle and a martini in place of swords, by hair in a ponytail, greasy bangs, no makeup and of course, paul frank slippers, well, they earned they paycheck by getting that smile out, I’ll tell ya!
:)

It smelled like COWS while I was pumping gas. I feel sorry for the people who live in this dismal little town.
You gotta fill up on gas somewhere though.
