Expo Propane, Inc

Great customer service; it was my first time here and the guy was super helpful. It was only $ 9 to fill my 4.5 gallon tank. Very quick and easy, I’ll be coming back for all my propane needs.

Good cheap propane. I can fill three 20lbs tanks for what one exchange with only 15lbs of propane costs.

Excellent service and price! I filled up two bbq size tanks for less than one tank exchange price other places charge. The gentlemen is extremely nice and funny. Will be coming here for propane from now on.
While filling the tank he explains how to determine your tanks age and that the «exchanged» tanks are actually only filled with 3 gallons since propane prices increased, so instead of raising the exchange tank price they just put less propane in them.

Quick, informative and friendly service. Two tanks ended up being $ 20– the same price as a quick exchange place, with more gas!

Copy paste what the others said. He is quite the funny guy too… great customer service!

I just went to Expo today since we had some errands to run in the area. We had an empty Blue Rhino tank which would have cost $ 19.99 to exchange in most stores. We were charged $ 9.48 to refill and left a tip. We saved 50% over retail. The location was right off the 163 Fwy and the service was fast and amiable. You can’t beat this deal if you are in the area. They are open Tuesday through Saturday.

I think everyone else has said what needs to be said, but I’ll reiterate.
They are cheap! ½ the price of everyone else. They fill partially empty tanks, and charge you for what you added, not a flat/​minimum. They give you a full tank. They are nice/​friendly.
I had 1 empty and 1 nearly empty. I got both filled to the brim for under $ 19. It would have been $ 45 at the corner station.
Please, everyone needs to go here for propane so we can all enjoy their service for years to come.

This place rocks! Hidden behind trees I almost missed it when I drove by. The service was excellent and the price is much lower than an exchange ($ 2.10/gallon).

I am a home brewer and go through propane quickly. Best price in San Diego hands down for a refill. Never have had to wait in line and the guy working there is helpful and friendly. Wish is was open later hours but usually go Saturday morning before we start brewing.

I refilled 2 tanks for less than the amount it would have cost me to exchange one tank at Home Depot. No waiting. I’d be stupid to go anywhere else from now on. Beware, it’s closed on Mondays.

Price is great at $ 2/​gal, service was great, wish I knew about it sooner. He is a stickler for having your tank certification current, but that is reasonable. Have recommended to friends and all have been pleased. Side note, don’t drive through parking lot if you are simply turning around and not stopping to get propane. Look for the large propane tank and you can’t miss it.

Found this place via Google search. After reading some of the reviews, I decided this would be a better option than an exchange. The price is certainly better than an exchange. I paid $ 9 for 4.5lbs of gas. The attendant was friendly and went over my tank’s expiration date, as well as filled me in on why it’s better to fill a tank than exchange (you get more gas for less $). Works for me. The whole process took less than 5 minutes, and I was on my way. Just off the 163 too. Couldn’t be easier. I’ll be back. An easy 5-​stars.

This place was as advertised, the price was right, under $ 2 per gallon and the service was exceptional. It was super easy to find, right off the 163 and Clairemont Mesa Blvd, and I was able to get my propane tank filled with no problems.
I was the only one there, however if I needed to wait there were darts and a game of Simon. The Service was spot on, I was told everything I needed to know about propane tank expiration dates (12 years after date on bottle) and how much each tank weighs with and without propane (how to measure how much you have left with just a scale). Bottom Line, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to refill their propane tank at a VERY affordable price who enjoys great customer service and knowledge about the product.

Thanks to David, my first time re-​filling a BBQ propane tank at Expo Propane was an educational and enjoyable experience. David explained the rules and legal stuff and some what goofy do’s and dont’s of refilling propane tanks.
Metal stamped dates on the tank all had some significance on whether the tank was legal to re-​fill or not. David was polite, professional and had a great sense of humor as he inspected and re-​filled my tank.
The price was $ 1.85 per gallon… really inexpensive, so the total came to $ 7.56 to fill my propane tank. Way cheaper than those tank exchange deals at Home Depot and other stores.
When you need propane, get your propane tanks filled at Expo Propane for much less money and get a FULL tank of gas to boot. Centrally located in Kearney Mesa off the 163 freeway and Kearny Mesa Rd. is another positive.
Ask for David, he is the best!

I’m never going anywhere else again. Period. Not only was the price right (just under $ 2 per gallon) but the service was quick and friendly. It took me about 10 minutes to get 2 tanks filled and to pay (and that was with someone else ahead of me). Walked out with 2 full tanks paying just over $ 16. And the facility is just off the 163 freeway. Super easy to get to.
David helped me and told me how when you go to exchange it out in front of rite-​aid or Home Depot they exchange your tank and you don’t even get it full (not to mention you usually pay $ 20+) He said they usually fill it more around 3.5 gallons versus the 4.5 it can fit. Dumb.
So I walked away paying a lot less money for a lot more propane.
This will make for happy grill days this summer.
Keep up the good work Expo.

After reading the reviews here, I went to check this place out, and yes its still just $ 2 a gallon, what a bargain, but for what extactly??? He would not say what grade of LPG or propane % or propylene content his lpg has. Hmmmm! I wonder why??? Anyways, the gas seem good. Burns cleaner then those throw away coleman 1lb bottles.
Previously I was using amerigas, I don’t notice any significant differences when using expo’s gas.
Sorry, no 5 stars earned from me, I didn’t get that incredible service everyone here keeps talking about, nor did I see anyone else get it while I was waiting to get my tank filled.

It cost me $ 9 to fill my propane tank for my barbecue here. Exchanging the tank would cost around $ 21. The guy working here was very knowledgeable and nice and explained everything to me. The propane cost a $ 1.99 per pound. Very convenient and fast and they take credit cards.

At first, I thought the glowing reviews posted here were «plants», but I was wrong. This place is the real deal. I drove our RV in to fill the LP and was in and out in no time and the cost was still $ 1.99 a gallon.
The best part were the guys helping me out. They seemed genuinely happy to be there and joked around a lot. They had a fake spider on a string at the payment booth that they dropped which was hilarious. I will be back from now on.

Easy, fast and cheap. what more could you ask for with a propane fill? Friendly service as well. I will be back when I need more.
Note they’re closed for lunch around 11:30 to noon.

Stumbled upon this place as I could see a large «Propane» sign when driving on SR-​163 freeway. I searched Unilocal and realized that this was the CHEAPEST place, cheaper than any gas station I know of.
Pros:
–CHEAP $ 1.99/gal.
–They measure your tank first to let you know how much you have left before you refill.
–The guy that helps you out [Donald David] is a FUNNY man.
Tips:
–You will see a LARGE propane tank near Clairemont Mesa Blvd exit [next to Harley Davidson] so you must use the Clairemont Mesa Blvd exit to get there.
Conclusion: If you ever want to have a BBQ but need propane for half the price, get it here if you are close by!
