Texaco

Good Quality Local Gas Station in Walnut Creek, CA

Great gas station with a wonderful drive thru car wash

Excellent station

Muy buena estación de gas

Muy excelente

Ended up getting a car wash. I would not recommend it. After all was said and done my truck was just as dirty as it was when I started the wash. I don't blame the Texaco station. The car wash was the type that gave a generalized wash without really focusing on quality.

No big deal. The help was friendly though he spoke no English. I believe he was Hindi.

Anyway it is positioned in a way to make it really convenient.

The weather was really nice and I was determined to have a pleasant day.

Their gas prices were a tad bit high for my taste but my truck who thinks gas is free will drink just about anything.

Car wash does not remove all road dirt

In short - this place has finicky pumps and unhelpful attendants! There are several other stations nearby (like Chevron) that won’t give you issues or rob you of gas credits, so go to one of those. My mother and I went to get gas at this Texaco (previously Saranap). We went to Pump 7 and entered the Safeway rewards number and $0.20/gallon came up for use. I paid and then the machine had an error and said to put the nozzle back in place and “transaction canceled”. As this was happening my mother jumped out of the car to try to warn me, before I could proceed with the transaction, and said that Pump 7 has given her issues several times. I figured I would try again and entered the phone number for gas rewards. The pump computer then said I have zero rewards. So apparently with the computer being glitchy on the transaction it used up my points but we got no gas! I decided to go inside and see if the attendant would help me. I explained to the attendant, Aday, what had happened and that Pump 7 glitched and canceled the transaction and could he help me because I didn’t get my $0.20/gallon credit. With regular gas at $5.09 you want your discount. He told me to input my phone number and said “no points” and I proceeded to explain again. He told me to slide my card and asked how much I had planned to put on so I said “$50” but explained that I only wanted it if he was able to help me figure out the rewards issue I’d just had in the pump. I’m sure this wasn’t the first time this has happened because my mother even tried to jump out and say she’d had issues at that pump a few times. So surely an employee is familiar with this too. At this point my mother comes in and he’s saying one word things like “slide card” and being very pushy saying “push that button” and we say “wait a minute, are you charging us $50 at the $5.09/gallon price?” and he says “no rewards” and we said that’s the whole reason we came in (I’d already explained a few times), but he didn’t try to help, he just charged the card. I could have done that at the pump myself! We said we wanted to cancel the transaction and he said he couldn’t cancel or refund it. So, needless to say we were incredibly frustrated and felt ripped off when we left and won’t be going back here again. Get a helpful attendant and better yet one that speaks English well - and is willing to listen AND communicate. Supposedly his name is Aday but when we first asked him for it he didn’t want to give us his name. He knew he hadn’t listened or tried to help us and that he just did what he wanted to get us out of there.

No public bathrooms. Or cashier doesn't let people in.
