Chevron

I wouldn’t recommend this station for gas to anyone. I went here to fill my truck up with gas. It turns out that instead of 22 gallon of gas I got 22 gallons of water in my tank which made my truck breakdown right after leaving. It took me over a year to finally get my money for the damages.

This location is clean and very well lit. Customer service is great and it’s open 24hrs. You can always count on their doors being unlocked if you need to buy something or to simply avoid the dreaded bend over routine to speak to the cashier.

I can overlook the bad service, just don’t run out of my flavor of fuel.
You know that feeling of triumph you get when you’ve been on «E» for a dangerously long time and you manage to roll into the gas station? Now imagine that all the pumps are out of order. Yup. No diesel. I can’t just limp by with a gallon of regular… Nope, it’s off to greener pastures for me.
I lower my head as I pray to the «E» gods, «Please deliver me to the next diesel station oh merciful fuel deities!» I know great peril lays before me, but I must press on! My valiant steed treadeth lightly; my heart heavy in my chest, my fuel abacus readith, «0 miles remain». Surely this be thine end…
I hath heard a wise man say, «The night is darkest just before the dawn.» Hark! What doth mine eyes behold? Praise the mercy of our fuel lords, for thee hath watched over my trek to the next station that delivereth forth a bounty of DIESEL!!! Though I doth protest thine pricing, be it a bit steep, my steed hath its fill.

It has been many moons since my wife and I have seen the rolling fields of… rocks. It is Rocklin, after all. They don’t call it that for no reason. I remember when there was no Galleria Mall, no Costco, William Jessup College was a bustling office furniture manufacturer named Herman Miller, and when this Chevron opened up it was a corporate store that my wife and I helped open up when we worked for Chevron. That’s when customer service made a difference. Unlike now. I went to turn in a lotto ticket and the guy tried to run it through the machine a couple of times and gave it back to me saying he couldn’t cash it out because it wouldn’t go through. I politely advised him I was familiar with his system and he could type in the numbers and everything would be right with the world. He said a receipt had to print to get the payout. Once again I was familiar and he refused to do the payout worth hundreds of… pennies. 400 pennies to be exact. In my day we had to bend over backwards for the customer or we were fired. Apparently not any more. Also in my day we inspected the condition of all the pumps and if there was so much as a scratch on the rubber seal we called it into corporate… once again, not any more. The pumps were getting dirty, the housing had not been cleared of the fuel so it leaked onto the side of my car, and were in basic comparative disrepair. It seems that there are a lot complaints about the car wash. I have not used it in ages but if it is treated like the rest of the premises I can only imagine what the it looks and acts like. I go here because its the closest Chevron to my work and even though the store isn’t anything like it was when my wife and I opened it, the gas is still the same great gas as the rest of the Chevron’s.

Car wash usually out of soap and protectant. Poor maintenance.

Yeah, the prices are more than other gas stations, but if you take the time to notice you get more MPG with Chevron gas.

A little pricey on the gas but not crowded like Arco. Plus you get free access to the water and air stations.

I used to like this station for their specials on beverages and snacks… well they advertise their Von Houtten coffees for .99 cents. I used to be able to get any Von Houtten coffee, even the flavored lattes, etc. and it would count, but not anymore… they now claim that the special price is only for the regular coffee, not the ones with milk, etc. even though the ad reads «all Von Houtten coffee» PA-​LEASE! Won’t be going there anymore, I feel like that is poor advertising and makes them cheap… meh!
