“Convenient corner and also grocery store. Good customer service and friendly staff. I just fill up gas, grab a cup of noodle and gatorade. They also have alcohol, scratchers and lotto.”

“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”
1090 Contra Costa Boulevard, Concord CA 94523
“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.”

“They are really the best smog shop I've used in Concord especially. The people are super cool and understanding and really patient. it is always clean or being cleaned to uphold their awesomeness. Cashiers are friendly and cool too. Prices are right on and u can get your exercise take a walk across the street to the Chef store....while I wait but they're fast so don't get carried away cheffin it up.”
2898 Willow Pass Rd, Concord CA 94519
“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.”
1465 Danville Boulevard, Alamo CA 94507
“I love our Concord Rotten Robbie store and the great employees that run it. The Alamo store is great too, but in regards to pricing, our pricing is the cheapest in Alamo. Alamo is not just down the freeway from our Concord location . It is literally 3 cities away. Past Pleasant Hill and past Walnut Creek. Thank you for the 1 star, solely based on pricing.”
2686 Pleasant Hill Rd, Pleasant Hill CA 94523
“Plenty of pumps, cheaper than competitors. I've been using their Plus grade for years and car shops never have anything bad to say about the status of the car, so it seems to be the same level of quality as more widely spread brands. Also the staff are always polite, even when I'm heading through at 5 in the morning.”
3550 Clayton Road, Concord CA 94519
“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.”
3180 Willow Pass Rd, Concord CA 94519
“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.”
2295 Morello Ave, Pleasant Hill CA 94523
“Phill and his team understands and rectifies the problem and fix it with best of their effort,I have been going to this shop for around a year now and would say it's the best mechanic shop around ,these guys are honest and reliable.”
604 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek CA 94596
“A bird absolutely demolished my car last night — we’re talking a lot of poop — and this place completely saved the day. So grateful they’re open on Sundays and conveniently close to Target, which makes it easy to squeeze in while running errands. They offer a range of services, so if you’ve already had your interior detailed recently, you can just get the exterior done on its own — no need to pay for something you don’t need. The staff was incredibly kind, and on top of everything, my rearview mirror housing had cracked that same night. I was nervous the wash equipment might make it worse, but they actually taped it down carefully so I could drive safely while I get it replaced. That’s genuinely above and beyond. Don’t hesitate to explain your situation to them — they will actually listen. Thank you to the whole team!”

“Arco prices are always competitive and gas pumps are easy to use with in and out access. My only gripe is the pumps are routinely out of receipt paper.”
2211 Monument Blvd, Concord CA 94520
“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.”
2490 Monument Blvd, Concord CA 94520
“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.”
5399 Clayton Road, Concord CA 94521
“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.”
2601 Springs Road, Vallejo CA 94591
“No thrills place, but affordable gas. Quality is fine. I have been using it in my cars a motorcycle for many years and no problems so far. Price within a few cents from Costco for CC. Cash is a bit cheaper.”
2501 North Main Street, Walnut Creek CA 94597
“This is the 76 gas station at North Main St x San Luis Rd. I stopped here because I carry a Conoco/Unocal 76 gas card, and it's the last gas station before you get on Hwy 24. My impression is that it's a no-frills gas station. Why bother having a fancy foodmart when there's a 7-11 next door? Price of gas is actually average for the SF Bay Area. On March 9th, Reg was $3.89/gal. A gas station right next to the freeway is expected to have jacked up prices. So $4.00+/gal shouldn't be a shocker. In general, station was clean, it had squeezees, well lit, and easy to enter and leave. Negs....restroom out of order, and weird keypad for entering zip code. So I'm guessing this station needs to be modernized. BTW, it's ok to review a gas station. It's a business too. (Covid-19 Review)”
1387 S California Blvd, Walnut Creek CA 94596
“Best gas station in the Bay Area. All of the workers are extremely friendly and welcoming, they have every snack, drink or candy you could think of and the best prices on gas”
2895 North Main Street, Walnut Creek CA 94596
“Fairly typical Chevron station in that it's clean, generally well-run, the pumps all work in general, etc, etc, etc. Pricing is going to be slightly higher then what you might be able to find at lesser stations. The only real downside of this place is it it's located the intersection of two fairly busy streets so you need to plan your in and out.”
1599 Newell Avenue, Walnut Creek CA 94596
“This Flyers/CFN gas station is also known as Kaiser Auto Care. It sits on the corner of California Blvd & Newell Ave, and it right next door to the Kaiser- Walnut Creek Medical Center. I was leaving Kaiser Hospital around 10pm and saw this gas station all lit up and decided to get gas here. The place was clean, organized, and has a great location. It has a small snack shop and a repair garage. I haven't been to a CFN commercial fuel stop in awhile. But this is the first CFN I've seen that's staffed and open like a regular station so late at night. So FYI, CFN is a network of commercial cardlock stations. Commercial drivers need to know where they can get fuel, so many companies use the CFN system. When I was a commercial driver I carried a CFN card and a directory book. Gas prices are high right now, but I thought it was fair for the area. OMG, my truck ran great on their UL Reg. Lots of power and acceleration.If I'm in the Walnut Creek area, this is the station I'll be using.”
1616 Oak Park Boulevard, Pleasant Hill CA 94523
“Five stars isn't enough for the service here! I usually come for the best gas prices in town, but today I locked my keys in my car. Moussa, the gentleman working the counter, went above and beyond by offering me his own personal car keys so I could drive home and grab my spare set. What a beautiful, surprising act of kindness when everyone else seems so stressed out. Moussa is a true local hero!”
1221 Muir Road, Martinez CA 94553
“Love this spot. It recently took on new ownership and the gentleman Kamal who took over immediately asked me for suggestions on what I'd like to see stocked on the shelves. Kamal's focused on setting up an ideal spot for his customers and is always fun to pop in and say hi to. He also reminds me about deals I might be overlooking based on what he's ringing me up for. It's a solid establishment that I'll always circle back to.”
510 W J St, Benicia CA 94510
“This is a great corner store. They tried to help out during the shut down by offering things you couldn't find in the grocery stores. Flour, corn meal, milk, bread. The staff is always helpful and are also part of the community. It gives me a warm feeling inside when I go grab Takis, Hot Cheetos, and Gatorade for my heathens, that they will be safe and watched out for if they stop by.”
4323 Clayton Road, Concord CA 94521
“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”
2102 West Leland Road, Pittsburg CA 94565
“It's a an Arco, you get gas there and it's a convenience store that has a lot of different options though. Ice cream slurpees good sausages opposed to hot dogs.”
4141 Alhambra Ave, Martinez CA 94553
“I pumped $10 in gas it was to expensive. The next couple of drives my car blew the engine. Thank God my warranty covered it. I have a brand new engine now didn't have to pay a dime. I'm sure that gas messed my engine up.”
2800 Grant St, Concord CA 94520
“I exclusively come here for the gas as the prices cannot be beat in this area! They have a lot of other goodies in the market itself, and I encourage folks to help support this gas station/market.”
3400 Willow Pass Road, Concord CA 94519
“Love this place!!! Gas prices rock!!! Whipped cream is the best I've ever had!!!! And your new employee Brittney Reeves is a real asset to the Arco family!!!! ?”
3012 Howe Rd, Martinez CA 94553
“I always have a great experience at this Exxon! The staff is super friendly and the convenience store has a nice selection of snacks and drinks. It's a reliable stop for gas and quick essentials!”

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.
