San Diego Gasoline

I come here often simply because of the location. The gas is cheaper than any other place around Allied Gardens usually.
However, it’s a pretty old gas station and it shows. The machines freak out when you do something wrong. Then you have to go inside to have the cashier reset the pump. Finding the cashier can be a little tricky because it’s not obvious where he is hiding.
There is also not a convenience store inside, I think there is a cooler for drinks but if there is one, that would be it.
If you just need gas, I’ve never had a problem with the gas here. If you need more than gas like coffee or snacks then I’d go down the street to 7 – 11.

I stopped by here yesterday to get my first ever propane tank refill. The owner helped me right away, and was very friendly. He knew what he was doing and refilled the tank quickly and promptly. Great experience as well as a reasonable price! This will be my place from now on.

Had a smog performed on and older high mileage vehicle. it passed everything with flying colors except the snap test for visible smoke. They were not helpful and bad at explaining why the car failed. The car had no smoke at idle and no smoke from the crankcase.
I took it to the BAR ref and he said that it barely smokes and that most of the cars he sees are billowing smoke. But he had to fail it because of a small amount of visible smoke.
I feel that if the smog was performed by a station with a single person doing the checks it would have passed. The BAR techniques say to adjust the mirrors to look for smoke.
These guys had a guy at the tailpipe while the other snapped the throttle and Failed it. They are following the smog law to the letter of the law in order to stay out of trouble. Good for them
Bring your new car for their high priced smog. Stay away if you have an older car

Nice tiny sign that isn’t lit at night showing the separate Credit Card prices. Pumps also don’t reflect actual price till are you finish Pumping. Buyer beware.

Jeff is a great and honest mechanic. I have brought 5 different cars here and he has been extremely helpful with every one. He has never tried to slide something by me pr overcharge. He recommends certain services be done but will not just say you have the most expensive problem. He drove me back to my house when I dropped my car off. If he says there is something wrong, trust him, it will be for your benefit.

I just wanted to add that this place does propane tank refills (not exchanges)! It’s sometimes hard to find a propane refill place. The manager was very nice and he came right out (without me asking) and filled up my tank, I was done in less than 5 minutes and the price was very reasonable.

I’ve been bringing both of my vehicles (2001 Ford Expedition & 2004 Honda CRV) here since 2009 & HIGHLY recommend this shop to everyone.
Drew Ford wanted $ 1,060 for engine work whereas the same work was done for $ 550! The Honda dealer wanted $ 1,215.56, the same work done for $ 690!
Jeff (Manager) is VERY pleasant and down to earth and will NOT take advantage of you.

Super quick spot to get gas… especially in the morning when you have hit snooze one too many times. Multiple entrances and exits… makes life easier.
If you pay cash the gas costs less… If I were to rename it I’d call it Quick and Easy Gas For Me!

When San Diego Gasoline was a 76, I took my car nowhere else. The mechanics are completely trustworthy and very kind. I’ve come here for second opinions since then and have ended up saving a great deal of money. I highly recommend this repair shop.

You always gotta have a plan B and this gas station is it. This place used to be a 76 however after it changed owners the new name is San Diego Gasoline.
Usually the prices are very comparable to Emerald Oil, however lately the gas has been ten cents cheaper. $ 3.19 for supreme baby! Not tooo shabby.
