“Yesterday my family and I got caught up in the pipeline explosion situation near Castaic Lake and things turned into a mess fast. I was on my motorcycle and absolutely freezing, and my parents were stuck nearby in our car. We were going down the I-5 freeway south from Bakersfield to Los Angeles and had to turn around and go back up I-5 north. When I came into this Chevron, the two employees working were genuinely kind. They allowed me to get warmed up, get food, and get gas, and they even let me sit inside and eat because it was so cold outside. Massive difference from having to warm my hands up with my exhaust. That small bit of humanity made an incredible difference and saved my life. If you’re those two employees: thank you. You made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I won’t forget it.”

“I had a great experience at the Chevron gas station recently. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had clean bathrooms available for use without the requirement to make a purchase. It's refreshing to see a business that prioritizes customer convenience and comfort. This thoughtful approach really sets them apart. I highly recommend this Chevron station for their excellent facilities and customer-friendly policies.”

“Got gas on the way to our destination northbound. We were towing a RV trailer, and the gas station is spacious. It has a bathroom outside so we didn’t have to go inside the convenience store. The price was reasonable.”

“The folks here are considerate and very helpful. Reserving our pontoon was a breeze and the staff were quick to help us dock. They keep the lake facilities clean and running well. I had a great experience renting a boat here and I expect to be back soon!”

“Going downhill recently? Toilets less clean, my stall was broken (doro handle not working). I'll still come here again for the location: cooler than other places on i5”

“This is the cheapest gas in the area. If your gas light is on and you are going down the 5 and it's been hours since you left Castaic behind and you are super freaking out about gas, first you'll see the gas stations in Gorman, and you will be tempted to stop. Because you need gas and probably a potty break. But trust me... You can wait until Frazier Mountain Rd. It's only like 2 more miles and most of it is downhill. You can coast on fumes and hold out for Flying J. Because it's cheap, big, and clean. We walked in to find the restroom and my daughter looks around and says, "Why is there like... everything.... here? What kind of gas station is this?" "Well, it's a rest stop. Not just a gas station. It's supposed to be a place to rejuvenate." "They've succeeded," she said..I agree. They have their Wendy's, some decent seating, spacious shopping, clean bathrooms, and even a decent selection of last minute snow play accessories. Stop at Flying J. You'll be pleased.”

“Is it an Arco thing?! Just like the one located at Santa Nella, it is the cheapest gas station around the area. I mean, what a difference - I saw another not too far from here charging up to $0.60 more per gallon! How does that even work? It was the most crowded (reasonably) but easy to get in and out of. Keeping them in mind for my fueling needs on a NorCal/Socal run.”
