“The best prices! The store inside has THE GREATEST HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES! Fresh fruits! Nuts as snacks! Friendly and nice staff. Just hard to get in and out of due to that steep incline. And can only get to going south on gaffey.”
“Good drinks and gas its a cool spot to get 99cent large cokes fountain drinks, but ive noticed sometimes those cashiers have stank ass attitudes and they watch you like your stealing something”
“Gas experience in CA is shocking with prices $2 or even $3 higher than other states - but the pump here worked and the pavement was clean enough. Best price in San Pedro!”

“I have came here a couple weeks ago, because my older 1995 Volvo 940 had a couple problems. First off, it has oil leaks and I had a problem with the mass air flow which had to be replaced. Jason (who works here) was very honest about the problem of my car. He had told me ahead of time to only pay him cash. They're good people to trust your car (especially an older vehicle) I would recommend this place for oil changes, car issues, etc.”
“Right when we pulled up, David made made us feel welcome - he was very inviting. Such a good price made it so worth it to come from Long Beach. Environmentally conscious, having the fuel absorbent pads around the nozzle, and even ready with one on a pole under the overflow vent. The place doesn't have a flashy look but it's top notch in customer service!”
“When I first found out that they check ID's for debit I was annoyed but once I really let that sink in that they care enough to do so I really appreciated it. Gas is typically the same price as across the street and the staff is usually friendly. Good local gas station.”
“I had 2 separate slow leaks in less than a month apart and both times the service in getting them repaired was extremely fast and very affordable. Only $50 for a replacement tire and $15 for a patch.”
“I recently had the opportunity to fill up my car at Speedway Express, a budget gas station, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service I received. Despite being a budget gas station, the facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The prices for gas were also very competitive, and I felt like I was getting a great value for my money. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my experience at Speedway Express and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and budget-friendly place to fill up their car. Whether you're just passing through or are a regular customer, Speedway Express is a great choice for all of your gas station needs.”
“The man running this gas station is a Saint! I pulled away from the pump with the gas nozzle still in my car! I freaked out but the man came out and calmed me down. He was very nice and understanding and I really appreciate it!”
“Best prices on Premium gas.People are always freindly.Scratchers are usually lucky. Paid my gas many times.They had a very taste chorizo sausage breakfast sandwich. So So Good.”
“Betty is LOVELY--I mistakenly thought I could pay for the car wash on Shell's app as I didn't have a physical card on me, & was having major technical difficulties downloading, then signing in to the app & trying to figure out where I could procure me one of them damn codes for the kiosk. Meanwhile, my mindless self didn't realize that when I'd frantically pulled out of the car wash line (someone behind me) & into a parking spot, I was blocking one of the air/water machines. Eventually, Betty came & knocked on my window to let me know I couldn't keep blocking that spot if I wasn't using the machine--I apologized for being such an airhead & explained to her what I was trying to do, she let me know that if I couldn't pay with a card then I could just come pay in-store (duh! My brain, or lack thereof, sometimes, I swear...). Once inside, she made sure I knew that I had to wait until the person in front of me was completely out of the wash before I entering my code or it would screw the system up. Despite following her instructions, the kiosk said to wait as it was still in use, I drove up to the lights--nothing...reversed back to the kiosk--same message. Just as I thought I effed up somehow, out came Betty to save the day. She had to get a little help from the higher-ups to reboot, then all systems go. I was a hot mess from start to finish, but Betty could not have possibly been any more sweet, helpful or patient with me! I mean, truly, it's service like this that compels me to leave reviews...not everyday you get to deal with people as awesome as she is. My new go-to gas station in this area now, for sure. Thank you so much, Betty--you are pure MAGIC!”
“New car wash realignment is nice. I don't normally go inside, but it is just a standard chevron. Car wash is of the typical small size. I can fit my truck but it is really tight. Overall a convenient place to get you truck washed.”
“Not a bad place at all, I stop by occasionally. There is another gas station right next door, I usually go to whichever is cheaper at the time, or depending where I am heading, many times I choose this one, if the other is too busy.Never a bad experience, the staff is friendly and helpful, every time I went I had a fun conversation w the ppl behind the register.It’s right in the hot spot on Gaffey, before getting into town, literally across from the 47fwy ramp, around the corner from the 110fwy ramp, in between the San Pedro Animal Shelter & Clinic, and DMV, Target, Home Depot. Also across from a fabulous place to it, Big Nick’s Pizza.”

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps.

Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus.

Love'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.
