“the first time I ever used a Costco gas the waiting time was so long I swore I'd never understand paying such a tiny little difference in cost to sit around for 20-30 min. but the lines are plenty here and pumps are fast. I haven't encountered a single issue (besides parking (costco problems I guess)) I stop in, fuel up, and go. I will say the one of Vegas blvd has you beat though. soooo much room for pull throughs”

“The gentleman (whoms name I forget), but highly recommend stopping in at this station while he's working the evenings. He keeps that station, pump and surrounding ara. Very friendly and a good conversationalist. The gas prices are usually below city average. Clean and soapy window wash water an per towels always available. Just a couple minutes away from the freeway on and off ramps. They also have diesel.”

“The new woman who works here is incredibly kind and friendly; I didn't get her name, though. In addition, the gas prices at this station are generally fair, which is convenient for me because I work nearby.Plus smog prices are great too with a nice trustworthy smog inspector named Loc. I would highly recommend this particular smog shop.”

“TLDR: Clean, well run independent gas station with every pump working, no obnoxious ads, and the cheapest gas in town, even cheaper than Costco. Worth driving out of your way for. Yes I’m gushing about a gas station… but it’s not often these days do you find a gas station, especially in this area, that genuinely impresses you. This place does. The owners clearly take pride in this place, and it shows every single time I come here. It is consistently clean and well maintained. There is no trash everywhere. Every pump works properly. The screens on the pumps are not blaring obnoxious ads at you in some loud, grating voice. It is calm, functional, and respectful of your sanity, which feels rare now. On top of that, their gas prices are cheaper than anywhere else in town, including Costco, which is almost unheard of. That alone would be impressive, but paired with how well this place is run, it makes it exceptional. As an independent gas station, it sets a higher standard than most of the big corporate chains. If a small operation like this can do it right, there is no excuse for anyone else not to. I will happily drive 15 minutes out of my way just to come here because I appreciate that they take care of their business and treat customers well. This is exactly what every gas station should be.”

“I love this Gas Spot, it has the most affordable gas anywhere in Concord, maybe even in all of CoCo County. The owner or his wife will always be there and are always working at least one if not both of them and I love them both!!! It's always easy to get in and get out. The pump area is always well taken care of and all the 10 pumps I believe it is 10 pumps, are usually all working at the same time. They even have a spot right next to the inside for air and water.”

“This place is an awesome place to get gas and food and of course lottery! The people here are awesomely friendly, and make you feel like you’re a valued customer.”

“This place is a hidden gem. There is a team of guys who hand wash your car before you enter the machine. Then they towel dry it afterwards. There is only one vacuum however and you need to put in coins. I will be back.”

“Not sure why people would give this place bad ratings. It's the cheapest gas around. I love it because it's right across the street from Monument Liquors so I come here after I go there.I'm always in and out. I pay at the pump. I don't think I've ever been inside the little mart there. Boom boom and I'm done. And when I say "cheapest gas," the gas isn't cheap. The ridiculous prices we pay in California are a result of idiot voters who keep voting to add more taxes to fix roads (which never gets done). If these morons would quit voting yes on this every stinking election the gas won't be the highest in the US, which is it is by far. Yeah, it's not cheap at all. But the gas here is one of the lowest prices in the area.”

“If you're on Clayton and looking for gas, this is one of the better places in the area to get it. The prices are reliably on-par with an Arco or Valero, compared to the Chevron station on the corner of Clayton and Denkinger. It's a quick in-and-out self-serve, with squeegees for your window and a small convenience store attached. There's a similar station right next door, usually with the same prices. I'll usually try to hit this place when I'm in the area; gas prices out in Walnut Creek are never better! :-P”

“I rated ARCO five stars, but please pay attention to this issue. Is there a technical problem with your pumps or fuel dispensing system? I refueled two different cars back-to-back and noticed a massive drop in MPG in both vehicles. For my 2023 Toyota Corolla, which normally gets over 51 MPG according to my dashboard records and personal notes, I used 4.5 gallons to refill just 1/4 of the tank. It means 44 MPG!? Could you please investigate whether there is a problem with your pumps or fuel quality? Or I don’t know what it should be. If this happens again, I will never buy gas from ARCO again, even if my tank is empty and I am stranded in the middle of nowhere.”

“Cheapest gas in Contra Costa County!! (On 4/7/24)SIGN IS DECEIVING!Sign visible from street listing current gas prices shows 2 prices: Price for Cash and price for Credit/Debit.HOWEVER, once at the pump, there is a notice that states debit is the same price as cash!! (See photos)That's right!!!!!!!!!!THE CASH PRICE APPLIES TO DEBIT CARD PURCHASES!!!Better than Super Stop Gas Station (down the street & what was previously the cheapest gas I have found). It is cheaper AND has trash cans!! (Super Stop does not have any trash cans.)”

“A great gas station. It actually understands American commerce! Good quality, affordable prices, neighborly and consistent. Clean, too! I live in Walnut Creek, but their prices are so up and down, exploitive and greedy, like too much of California and doesn't have American economics standards at all. This gas station however gets it and as a driver for Uber, I drive out of my way to use it. Please stay just like you are! Please. Thank you.”

“My car died at this gas station, Grand Gas station, and the Manager Daniel was more than helpful and also a cool man to talk to while I waited for a tow truck. I will always come to this gas station now. They are great ppl and have a clean store that is competitively priced. I wish Daniel well in his restaurant endeavors!”

“Very wide open space to get your RV through. It is a little convoluted getting back to the station in contrast to the large number if lanes and open space. Prices were inline with the area. Was not crowded but that could be due to COVID -19.”

“? no ads on the pumps yay! ? as required by law, tire air pump works nicely (thank you!) ? no paper towels in the four windshield cleaning stations on the side away from the street.”

“They recently revamped all of the equipment and layout of the car washing areas. There is now one lane to enter, but it seems more streamlined. Signage and stoplights are more clear about things like when to pull out of the wash. During the hand-dry, I sometimes worry they'll wipe the wax off of the windows from too much force. I haven't had issues yet. Overall worth it for someone who doesn't want to hand wash there own car. There's a variety of internal/external wash options. I always just go for the basic 3 polish wax with no internal cleaning. It's always worked for me. They have a waiting area for those choosing internal cleaning.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
