Quik Stop

Dear Quik Stop,
Please replace your sad, tattered looking squeegee that looks like it is in the ICU and ready to go.
Your gas station is busy — high volume area considering it’s located right next to the 680 ramp. Lots of cars. And only one squeegee bin to be shared in all its glory between 4 pumps.
Yet, the last several times I have been there to pump gas, it’s the same shitty squeegee that awaits to greet me. Most of the times, it sits in some sickly water that should probably be changed. Other times, it sits there in a shallow pool of water, like a beached fish gasping for the ocean. I can already recognize the long wooden red handle every time… and I know. I know it’s the same crappy ass squeegee where the sponge is starting to fall off and looking like last month’s leftover steak. I pick it up and plop it down on my windshield. I have to be careful as the sponge is depressed and no longer has the resiliency it had in its youth. It’s almost as if I’m cleaning my windows with a block of Spam.
I don’t understand. It has been there for months. MONTHS. A squeegee costs a few bucks. Has it not been replaced as it holds sentimental value? Perhaps passed from gas owner generation to generation? Does it bring good gas luck?
Tell me why.

This is our family’s place to buy fuel. Prices are usually a little higher than ARCO on Auto Mall, but you can use credit cards here. However, Fremont Gasoline on Grimmer has now undeniably become the least expensive gas station that accepts credit cards in Fremont. The employees are nice, and the convenience store is pretty standard for any quick stop.

Changing ownership!
Have always liked this place, mostly because the people that work there are very nice even with what they have to put up with from the general public day in and out.
Anyway, I walked in to get a drink this morning, and found that the pumps were closed and there was a team of guys removing the counter where the registers were. There was also a notice of change of ownership on the window.
Thanks for running a nice shop guys, hopefully the new owners can do as good a job.

The gas station definitely has cheaper gas, but the employee on duty around midnight was quite rude. I asked if there was a restroom and he grunts out «No public restroom» without even looking towards my direction.

quik stop has relatively cheap gas @3.93. for fremont.
easy on & off from hwy 680.
clean store, convenience items, snacks, liquors.
so so brew selection. coffee @ .99 also so so
lotto here too.

Some of the best gasoline prices in Fremont. Gets busy and it’s right off 680!

Yeah it suck no restroom but gas prices and customer service are AMAZING!!! Four gas pumps I snot good people will cut you off and snake your pump! The staff that works here is very friendly and I love that.
It’s right off the freeway and cheap! How can you go wrong.

This place is a dive in my humble opinion. The gas is priced good, but with only 4 pumps and no room this place usually has lines. Small quick stop but I suppose their never huge:) Not a choice stop but is a must when has tank is on vapors.

regular convient store but very cheap prices on gas!

This place is always the cheapest place in Fremont to get gas. I think the prices are always comparable to the Costco in Fremont, if not one of two cents cheaper. Although there are only 4 pumps, I’ve rarely had more than 1 car in font of me waiting and that’s only during the busier hours of 8 – 9 am and 5 – 7 pm so if you go during other times there is usually hardly any wait.
I also enjoy the fact that the owner will let me pump air into my car tires for free. (Yes, I do realize it only costs like 25 cents or so but I’m just that cheap)
Also, as everyone else has mentioned, you can’t use the restroom here.

1 row of pumps right off a freeway off ramp? Thats brilliant.

Cheap gas, but just a heads up, no bathrooms or cash back. I was also a bit creeped out and felt out of place.

the pump situation there sucks for sure. Especially if you’re running late and everyone and their mother decides to run out of gas too… BUT the dude at the counter is nice and cheerful and sometimes that’s all you need to forget about the pump situation… Convenient for sure because of it’s location, but kind of drag when there are more than 4 people trying to pump some gasolina.

I have found that when i fill up, the fuel dispensed is more than the max capacity of my fuel tank (as per my Toyota Camry official manual) by about ½ gal (when filling ~15.5gal).
Since i don’t drive to almost fully empty often, i don’t have good statistics. Anyone else seen this?
It is a very popular spot due to it’s low prices, but I don’t know if this is a faulty pump /​mistake or methodical issue since these «faults» add up quickly (as people pump hundreds of gallons a day & but the «error» is small enough for individual motorists to not catch it.

Pros: Gas price is generally lower than stations around the area. They accept credit cards.
Cons: They only have 4 pumps (2 on each side). It’s very difficult to get in and out of the area, sometimes cars line up on the street just to get in to the pump. The area does not feel safe at night.
I don’t shop inside the convenience store.

I bought some taffy here. It was pretty good.
What else do you want people it’s a convenience store jesus christ come on.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We broke down on the freeway and were towed here. While we waited for help with the car we asked to use the bathroom. The lady at the counter wouldnt let us use it even after explaining our situation: no car, on the side of the road for 30 minutes, at least another 30 to go. Poor service can NEVER make up for low prices. I will avoid this place forever and I advise everyone to do the same.

i love you, quick stop! cheapest gas around… plus the guy who works here Monday-​Friday mornings is awesome. He recognizes me when i come in, and when i haven’t been in awhile he asks where i have been and how i am doing, in a genuinely friendly & non-​creepy way. additionally, their coffee & cappuccino is frequently any size for 99 cents — can’t beat that!
i would advise against buying any of their milk products, one time i bought half and half here only to realize it was expiring on that very day. actually now that i think about it, not buying milk products at a gas station is probably a general and well-​known rule of thumb.
hopefully me admitting that i bought a milk product and didn’t check the expiration date until after it was purchased doesn’t decrease my merit as a Unilocaler: P

I stopped here on the way back for visiting a friend in the hills of Fremont because I needed to get some gasoline, and get a cup of coffee. I always knew about this store, when I drove-​by on my to Ohlone College, but seldom drop in because the gasoline pumps are extremely busy and there is only 2 pumps.
I decided to get my gasoline here because it was not crowded at the gasoline pumps, and I really needed the gasoline. Price was comparable to other off-​brand retailers. One plus for this station is that it takes credit without extra charges.
The convenience store itself is fine for the cup of coffee. When I stopped by they were having a special price for hot coffee or 32 oz. soft drink, for 69-​cents a cup, which is a lot less compared to getting a refill at other convenience stores. The coffee itself was fine and did the job of warming me on a cold evening.
The store is located near the on-​ramp to the 680 in Fremont, and it would make a great stop to getting some coffee and snacks before getting on the road.
Overall, an O.K. stop for a snack and coffee. However, for the gasoline stop, I would be reluctant because of the lack of pumps — I would use a off-​brand gasoline station which is more user-​friendly.

I love them! Cheap cigarettes (2 menthol light camel packs for under $ 8) and cheap gas! Anywhere else, $ 10 will give me a quarter tank. Over here, it gives me a little less than a half tank. Kinda nice surprise! Vietnamese owned and operated.
The only thing crappy about this place is waiting for a pump. They only have 4 pumps because it’s a small place, and people know the value of a good deal in Fremont, because let’s face it… we’re all cheap here! The waiting can get taxing because jerk drivers will try to cut you off and steal the pump you’ve been waiting the last 10 minutes for, which makes you want to get out and smack them so hard they fly back to Timbuktu, but then you remember what your Mother taught you, and you calm down before the possibility of getting sued arises.
Other than that, this place is tres fabulous! Go go go go go!
