Valero Gas Station

I get gas from here when I pass by and notice prices are lower than others, which seems quite often. If I need a car wash though, I go down the street on Grand Avenue to Pacific Beach Car Wash, which is usually a tad pricier.
This particular area of PB doesn’t seem to have as many beggars and homeless people as others. I don’t judge them cause idk what caused them to become homeless, but hey… I’ll give you my leftover food, cause I don’t trust you with money… and I need it, too ;))

This Valero station just has a small convenient store. According to Gas Buddy, it is well below the average price compared to other gas stations in the area. It is a busy location on Texas Street, close to the 8 freeway. The layout can make maneuvering difficult depending which way you are coming in or going out. It also charges extra for not using cash. Overall, if you are looking to save gas and even paying with card, this is a great place to fill up. However, there are also other Valero stations not too far away where the traffic is not as congested so that may be a better route to go.

Open all the time and has quick propane exchange. No complaints from me.

Prices are good for PB. Good convenient location that is kept clean. The staff in the convenience store is friendly. Access is easiest if you enter from Grand (right turn) and exit on Ingraham (right turn).

Nice location and prices always seem to be middle of the road. Can sometimes be difficult to get in and out since it’s located on the corner of Ingraham and Grand. I’ve only been inside a couple time and seems like the have a decent selection of gas station store items.

Used to get gas here all the time because the price was lower than the Chevron up the street. Howerver I noticed that even with premium gas there was still water mixed in with the gas, which seems to happen after it rains. So had to find another place for gas. Too bad.

I’ve stopped in at this gas station now several times, when I have been in the area and needed a fill up. Ever time I have come, I have had no major issues, except during peek hours, the station can get kind of congested. So, patience is in order.
Their gas prices are usually quite competitive for the area, and similar to the prices I pay near home. The Pumps have been in good working order for the most part, ecept for once, and so has the ATM pay thingie. They have a small corner store inside with the usual nick knacks and stuff. They have propane tanks and a ATM machine inside but I am not sure what bank it’s affiliated with.
Gas, still a necessary evil…

Everytime I come here the air machine is out of order! My tires hate me. Fix the machine! Also air should be free. The gas station in crown point near Rockys is cheaper and cleaner.

Average gas station. Prices are a bit up there but decent for PB.

I work in PB, so whenever I need gas this is where I come. Nice and big and easy to get in and out of from the street. I love that they have the pay stations at each pump, makes things very convenient. Have never had to go inside or deal with an employee, so I can’t comment on that. Definitely the cheapest gas in PB!

We stop here on our way to work almost everyday for coffee and snacks. The employees for the most part are very nice, but a few are way too slow for my taste. How hard is it to ring up 2 things? It can get frustrating, but because they are so nice and aren’t expensive I can overlook the few turtles behind the counter.

Pretty much the best gas station in PB. Located centrally between the beach and I-​5. Prices are the cheapest after ARCO, which makes it the cheapest legit gas station in PB. Sure it’s expensive compared to the rest of SD, but what do you expect?
They take credit, there’s plenty of stalls, they’re cheap, and it’s good gas. Can’t ask for much better.

Clean Inside and Out. Friendly Staff as well, Easy access from main road allows you to get in a out quick.

Nice clean gas station, prices can be a little high but it is the beach. Easy access in and out.
And Rachel is awesome, so helpful and very funny, she makes it worth the price. Best gas station assistant manager ever! She always makes my day brighter.

I originally wrote this review for Ultramar, but then found out that it had been renamed Valero. Wow, I was so excited to pay a visit to Rachel I didn’t even know the gas station had changed hands!
Long standing thing in PB: Let’s go visit Rachel at the gas station!
He/​She has been there forever, and everyone in PB knows him/​her. He/​she is really nice and helpful and always has a smile on his/​her face. He/​she makes coming to the gas station entertaining. He/​she has also worked there for a LONG time, so he/​she knows everything they carry in case you can’t find what you are looking for.
Other than that, it’s a standard convenience store/​gas station but on the corner of Ingraham and Grand it’s really convenient.
