Costco Gas Station

I don’t mind saying, I’m a guy that really enjoys a good tank of gas. I hit up Costco for a fill up just about every week. I never get tired of it because Costco knows how to do gas right.
All Costco gas is free range, farm to table and naturally gluten free. It’s distilled from non GMO sources in small batches and is delivered fresh to each station daily.
Mikey C says: your mileage may vary.

Have been to many costco gas stations, this is the only one with 4 pumps per isle, making it faster than the normal 2 pumps per isle. Always clean & attendant friendly & courteous. Always the CHEEPEST PRICE in town

I am definitely impressed by this Costco gas station. I like that there’s three pumps in a row instead of two. Even though it might look busy, due to the number of pumps, the line moves faster than I expected.
My all time favorite Costco gas station is Woodland, CA or Lodi, CA.
This is up there but it’s not as nice as the Woodland or Lodi one.
You can never beat the Costco gas price though. It’s definitely worth it if you’re in the neighborhood. It can be a little tricky getting into the lot, but it’s not too bad.

2.14 gas! what more is there to like?
was in area, needed to fill up
Costco usually has some of best prices for gas in whatever area you are in!

This used to be really bad, always busy with looong lines. The prob was that there were too few pumps for huge number of customers. They have upgraded their, gas services by adding few more lanes and more pumps per lane. They upgraded the station from ground up (well almost) even look, more lighting as well.
Nowadays, you rarely see long lines and like always Costco has the best prices for gas and other, I don’t use Costco for a lot of things but for Gas I use them whenever I can… you just can’t beat the price…
The only thing I don’t like about Costco is that they accept American Express only no Visa (they do accept debit, who doesn’t?)

Since they put in more filling stations, I hardly have to wait anymore. The wait times used to be incredibly long no matter what time of day. Best prices around.

Just filled up here and Shawn was amazing attendant. He actually helped listen to my car, as an experienced mechanic and gave me some tips for my fuel tank. I love costco gas because it is the best price, I get premium for 2.49/gallon and they have so many stations to accommodate their members. Plus, it makes costco a one stop shop which is easier with toddlers!!!

Other than the fact that Costco is always crowded and that I’ve almost gotten hit three times in the parking lot (because people are not paying attention), this is a good and clean Costco. Could be in a better neighborhood as it’s on the corner of Detroit Ave. in Concord, but feel safe at Costco.

Costco Gas– First thing, it’s a great price. The lines are massive on the weekend, but they move. They are putting in a 3^rd bank of pumps behind the other one so it will be interesting to see if people can maneuver around them. It’s a great plan to get people to moving if they can park. I know now that sometimes you can’t get around someone because they park over the line and have a large vehicle.
The gas stations next door is about the same price. My guess is some Costco members go there because they don’t want to wait in the line. I wonder if the line speeds up all of those people will come over.
It would be nice if they could expand the area so it’s not so congested getting into the gas area. People really zip around the parking lot.

Normally you would not think that Costco gas is best for your car, however they are serving Top Tier gasoline. I used to snicker at the people driving high end Mercedes or BMW’s getting «crappy gas» from Costco. I have repented of my ways and changed my attitude. I am also a owner of a high end SUV that requires only premium fuel. Costco offer the best price for the same quality gas as your Shell, Texaco, or Chevron stations.
The downside is that you will have to wait inline. They are expanding the pumps at this location in the future, but it is hit and miss for the wait there right now. Just be calm. We will get through this together…
What did I learn today? It pays to own a European car with the gas tank on the passenger side of the car. The lines are shorter for right side fill-​ups.

Ran to get gas on the Sunday morning at 8 AM and drove right up to the pump. Score! Paid $ 3.19 per gallon for premium. Score! Right now they’re doing renovations and expanding their gas station.

I would give them 5 stars if I didn’t need to wait so long to pump gas there and if they would post gas prices visibly for me to see as I drove up into the parking lot. They aren’t always the most affordable gas in the area, but if I wait in that line for 30 minutes, I’m kinda committed.

Visited this gas station on a Monday mid morning and there was not that long of a wait. There were only 2 cars in front of us waiting to fuel up. Prices are the same as Arco which is usually the cheapest around. Costco has the additives to their gas similar to Shell and Chevron as opposed to Arco and other places.
The fuel pumps are very clean and well maintained. The flow of the line moves well as long people are not distracted. There is a worker there inside a small office that can help people if they are having any problems.
Make sure to bring your meet ship card and a debit card just like you are shopping inside the actual store. Members are only allowed here. It’s definitely worth it to get fueled up here if you have a Costco membership. Even if the person has a membership that you are with, have them swipe their membership and gas up your ride when you are giving them a ride.

Yes, Cheapest Gas Around. Lines too, but they move at an OK pace. The lines would be better if the patrons made the simple effort to be ready. For example, these are some steps I exercise that helps all the patrons behind me. Have gas filler door open as you approach, and only the card (s) you need ready and out of you wallet or purse too. Leave your darn key in the ignition, no one is going to steal you car here! Don’t casually meander out of you car and fumble over to the pump. Instead kill ignition, quickly get to pump and feed Costco card in. Then turn to remove gas cap while pump processor is establishing membership. Then when you turn back to the Pump, display is ready for payment method, so insert card again. Then be ready to say NO to a darn receipt. Also be ready to pick grade of gas while at same time get filler nozzle in your hand. Push grade, insert nozzle correct firm and fast and start filling. Then you can stroll about, as there nothing to do put card back in wallet, as the car is already being filled. I see 90% of people slow at each of these steps listed. These last steps are important too. Be ready for end of fill. Grab nozzle and place back on pump fast, turn and get into you car, start it and drive the hell away from the pump. This is also when I am placing seat belt on, as I am 10 feet away from pumps and moving 1 mile an hour to that first stop sign to exit gas station. Then worry about all the misc tasks as you are away and at next couple stops, or you can grab a spot away from station if you need to do any misc task. I have seen some people slowly get in their car and read the receipt! Others take 2 minutes to get seat belt on, grab sun glasses, adjust visor, check cell phone. Others don’t frog hop forward if front pump finishes filling first! Others can’t seem to even figure out how to insert a credit card to pump! Also some park away from pump 3 feet restricting center space for people to pass by, or simply exit if they are done. Lastly, I have seen people finish, start car, and take minutes to even shift to drive, then they slowwwwwly coast out a few feet as next car is waiting midway for their ass to move. If people made these simple changes above, that line would be half its normal length.

The low prices get 5 plus stars. WAY cheap! The long lines here knocks it down to 4 stars. If you are a Costco member (you must be to purchase gas), you really should buy your gas here at least once in a while. The hoses are extra long so you can pull up on either side of your car and it will stretch to wherever your gas tank is. I think they only take debit cards or Costco AMEX cards. No visa or Mastercard. I would double check that, though.

There’s always cheap gas here. The best times to get gas here are either early or late at night, otherwise the lines can get pretty long. Sometimes the pumps can be a little difficult to use, but it’s not frequent.

Love Costco gas in general because of it’s lower price without degradation of performance. This lower review is just for this location as I feel like the layout is only ok, it feels tucked away in a rather weird area of the parking lot where there’s a bottleneck. But it’s not that big of a deal when it’s not too busy.

Some idiot just cut in front of me and the attendant didn’t say anything to him! Isn’t that his job to monitor the gas station.
Than my pump wasn’t working. It stopped pumping after 10 gal. I knew I was empty and can take 22 gal. I had to wrestle with it for 10 min. Again attendant was sleeping in his chair.
Poor service, huge lines and gas not that much cheaper! Ugh.
Not coming back here again.

Usually when a gas station has the cheapest prices in the area, they always have a gimmick of setting their cheaper prices as cash or debit only.; but NOT Costco! This particular Costco location has always been one of the cheapest gas stations in the Bay Area, and it has been like that for years!
I use to get my gas occasionally at the Safeway gas stations, but as of May 2013, they now started to charge more if you decide to pay by a credit card. I guess that’s the direction that businesses are going at, but I give a lot of props & kudos to Costco for not doing that.
This location was revolutionary when they first opened, as they were the only gas station to accept credit cards only. With 16 pumps and people only being able to use credit cards, they really speed up their customers. The only problem is that they are always crowded!
If you come here during their peak hours, it can take up to 30 minutes before you can get your gas. The best time to come here is early in the morning or before they close; so I usually get my gas here before I go to work around 6:45am. At that time, there is always an available pump for me to drive straight up to.
Over the years, I’ve really learned to appreciate this gas station, as their gas does gives me good gas mileage and they are always one of the cheapest price around. The only issues are that the wait can be long and they only accept American Express cards. If you have an AMEX card and the ability to come here early or late., this is the best gas station to go to!

TL;DR: Great price = High Demand = Long Waits = Come Odd Hours.
I pretty much buy all my gas here.
I also pretty much avoid coming here at all costs, unless its late in the evening or early in the morning. The lines are ridiculously long, always, simply because they have some of the best prices around. Hard to beat!
If you come around 7pm or later, the lines become very tolerable, but otherwise you could be waiting for up to a good 15 minutes or so.
