“On November 5, 2021 I drove 3.5 hours from Bay Area to Pioneer to stay on our vacation home. Around 8:45pm my car started to light up oil check lights by Ion. I know that the closest auto parts are 10 minutes away and couldn’t make it. I stop by at Shell and 2 chevron but with no luck they don’t have the engine oil 0W-20 that I needed. My last stop is Valero in Pine Grove around 9:15pm and Britney is scheduled to work that night. I asked her what isle is the engine oil and she pointed out. Sure enough I yelled out loud “they have it” I bought 3 of this oil and paid for it. Britney even gave me disposable paper funnel. Valero save my night and drove home safely. I know I could have drove home without putting oil but the fact is if you don’t have too sacrificed safety and I don’t want to drive back to Martell to buy it in Oreily or Napa or Auto Zone. I just want to say thank you to Valero that they carry more oil than bigger competition. Thank you Arnold”

“Excellent experience at the Chevron. The station was very clean, well maintained, and had plenty of pumps available which made getting in and out quick and convenient. The entire property was organized and easy to access, and everything at the pumps worked smoothly. It’s a reliable stop for quality fuel in the area, especially when traveling through town. Definitely one of the better kept gas stations around and I’d gladly stop here again.”

“Such a cool store ! Everything lining the walls is a blast from the past. The ambiance changes from one half being a museum of store-bought goods, pictures, & appliances to a warm, cozy, well-maintained & storied bar, restaurant, & meeting place across generations. It was heartwarming getting to talk with the bright, open person behind the counter willing to share a bit of the store's history & what was coming up that same night. She made a mean sandwich to boot ! Highly recommend stopping in to any passersby.”

“This is a gas station open 24 hour. It is almost like a convenience store but not exactly one. It has snacks like chip, candies, hotdogs, beer, sodas, beef jerky, energy drinks, water, ice, coffee,etc. I don’t know about bread,milk and eggs. Definitely there’s no clothes sold here as I remember.”
