Chevron Station

This is a 76 station now, not Chevron.
We only got gas here. The area around the pumps was clean. The pumps are easy to access and all of them were functional. Prices are a bit lower than the other station in the area and are far better than the gas prices up at the lake. A good place to stop and fill up if you are on your way over the hill to Lake Tahoe.
The one way arrows guiding you out of the lot and back on to Thomas Creek Road are a bit confusing. We almost ended up in the carwash.

The orange haired manager here is a really rude lady and she only hires old people to work there. They’re never very friendly or even seem awake. I’ve come here over 5 times for them to just be closed when they weren’t supposed to be or «without» gas. I’ll only go here if I really have to. Terrible terrible new management… Very sad !

I like this Chevron (which was under construction) not for their gas but their mini mart. They don’t offer a lot but this is one of the last stops before Mt. Rose so it was conveneient to pick up some ice for our cooler to keep our beverages cold enough to enjoy post skiing… tailgating style.

I had a nail in my tire. I was able to inflate it here without getting quarters from a $ 20 bill like earlier at the ⁷⁄₁₁. It’s not the money, its customer service, so this place gets a 5 star «thanks» from me.

My family uses the good car wash weekly. We buy our gas there as well. Overall a very easy stop for higher price gas and a car wash.
We paid 200 USD for Professional Detail on my 2008 Yukon Denali. I give the this detail a B or B-​. Clean indeed. My son best described the interior as Greasy. As like most detail shops in this town, the more Amorall must be better… not! Pooled Armorall on most plastics surfaces. There was no detail of the glove box interior, more attention needed to door jams and seals. There are too many choices for details in this town, and I will not use this station for a detail again.

Having just added a better than average car wash with attendant, this Chevron station is worth a stop… or a fill up. They have a ton of cool Reno/​Tahoe T shirts in here too,…along with Snow shoe rentals and I guess maybe other stuff…
And I really love that they always have white lights up all over during winter to keep that holiday spirit!

A gas station worthy of reviewing, you ask?!? Well, not only was this particular station perfectly located for anyone en route to Mt. Rose Ski Resort from Reno (located at the corner of Mt. Rose Hwy. and Thomas Creek Road), they’re also well-​equipped (snowboard rentals, clean interior, one bank of video poker machines, and snow chains).
But the absolute review-​worthy highlight — the quirkiest bronze sculpture just outside the front doors to the convenience store — a bench with Mark Twain reading a book! This item was a serious landmark for me (It’s actually quite an impressive sculpture and I’m determined to discover the motivation behind it at this particular location).
see the photo.
And btw… three stars for being conveniently located relative to our empty gas light situation driving to/​from Mt. Rose!!!
