“Cause they have my type of smokes when 76 runs out. It's convenient but if there is a big line of car it's not big enough. When they put gas in there with the big truck it's kinda hard to pick that station.”

“This is the second time a Chevron station has helped me during a difficult cross-state move, and once again I experienced kindness that went far beyond ordinary customer service. My move from Oakland to Reno turned into an incredibly long and exhausting day. An unexpected vehicle problem delayed my departure, and by the time I reached Colfax, it was already evening. During the chaos of the move, I had even misplaced my prescription glasses, making night driving through unfamiliar mountain roads even more difficult. After a half day on the road, I knew continuing would not have been the safest decision. After finding that nearby businesses had already closed for the night, I came to this Chevron looking for a safe place to stop. Although overnight parking is generally not allowed for moving trucks, the older gentleman working that night listened to my situation with kindness and understanding and allowed me to stay for the night. This happened late in the evening on May 1, 2026. I unfortunately didn't catch his name, but I sincerely hope the management recognizes him for his professionalism and compassion. Sometimes the safest decision is knowing when to stop driving. His kindness didn't just help a tired customer—it helped an exhausted driver avoid unnecessary risks on dark mountain roads. This experience reminded me of another Chevron station that helped me during a previous move. Twice now, Chevron employees have shown me genuine care when I needed it most. Small acts of kindness like this make our roads safer for everyone. Thank you to the entire team at Colfax Chevron. I will always remember your kindness. Highly recommended.”

“Review for same old guy: he was super great today when my dad thought he left his wallet at the gas station (we found it later). He searched the trash cans and all around for it. He was super helpful on the phone and in person. Truly appreciated!”
