Chevron

I come in here for snacks and energy drinks on my scores and scores of trips to So Cal and of course lately the SGV. The staff here is very nice, pleasant and helpful. The restroom has always been clean, sometimes a wait. Gas is expensive, I usually do not fuel up here for that reason.

Very big selection of junk food to satisfy your driving needs. The rest room is very clean, but if your tall don’t use the little restroom stall lol. Your practically knee to door and I’m not the tallest person in the world lol. Other then that the staff is friendly. I was greeted right away by one of the girls that were stocking the shelves. I always enjoy friendly gas station attendees.

Here’s the best thing about this gas station; it was 117 °F coming across the valley, just north of LA. It was 86 °F here. Half an hour later, it was 104 °F in the Grapevine.
Relatively inexpensive, for a Chevron, and the only place you won’t bake in the three minutes it takes to fill up your tank. It’s the summertime option of choice for the discriminating non-​masochist.
Otherwise, a perfectly ordinary gas station with a small mini-​market, nice-​enough employees, and a gnarly bathroom.

Sweetest cashiers out here at this Chevron. The blond lady who was a little older was totally nice. She didn’t mind us loitering inside the Chevron even though there were long lines for the the wait for the bathroom. She was all smiles and super nice to everyone who walked in.
Easy access from the 5 freeway when you need gas in Gorman/​Frasier Park. The location is literally right off the freeway.

The gas is expensive, but they’re directly off of the freeway. With the convenience factor– they can charge whatever they want. Ain’t capitalism grand?

When going through the Grapevine, this is a good place to stop for gas and use the restrooms inside which are clean. Place to load up on snacks too.

A good pit stop for gasoline when traveling on the Grapevine. Yes, the gasoline prices and convenience store product prices are higher. That is to be expected though cause it is off the freeway. I guess that is where the term «highway robbery» comes from? I do not know.
Anyways, as mentioned in earlier reviews, they have clean restrooms and that is important when you are on the road!

There aren’t too many places to stop for gas, munchies, and restrooms (clean or otherwise) once you reach the middle of the Grapevine, but this Chevron always did the trick for us.
For years, we would all pile into my mom’s van and make the 2 ½ hour drive down to Placentia every Sunday afternoon to go West Coast Swing dancing (See my review of The Clubhouse
) Mom would pack coolers full of drinks and baskets of goodies for us to munch on the ride down while we played dance videos or movies on the DVD player in the back. We’d leave Placentia between 11:00 and midnight, and by the time we reached the Grapevine on the ride home, we’d all be asleep in the back while my mom drove. This Chevron, and the attached convenience store and restrooms, were a convenient stop to stretch her legs and pick up a caffeinated drink to keep her going the rest of the way home. Sometimes we woke up and used the restroom, too, and sometimes we just slept right on through.
My mother will probably kill me when she reads this review and finds out that I shared this story publicly, but even she’ll have to admit it’s the God’s honest truth and I can’t ever pass this exit without thinking about it. On one of these trips home, I remember waking up in the van in the parking lot of this Chevron. My brother was still asleep, but his dance partner, Marcie, was awake. I went into the convenience store and saw my mom bending over the freezer that housed the ice cream sandwiches and other frozen treats. I walked past her into the (very clean) restroom. I walked out and got back into the van. As mom was exiting the parking lot, Marcie suddenly blurted out «They tried to leave you!» Apparently, when mom got back into the van she hadn’t noticed I was missing and had started to get back on the freeway before mMarcie realized that I was missing. They quietly pulled back into the parking lot and evidently all agreed not to rat her out — though obviously the strain of keeping the secret proved too much for one of them.
So, my advice is to stop here to take advantage of the gas, munchies, and clean restrooms. HOWEVER — DO NOT get out of the car without your purse or cell phone as I did, because if nobody notices you’re missing, you could be there far longer than I was. ADDITIONALLY — Count heads before you pull out of the parking lot, and if you do leave somebody and want to swear the others to secrecy off some type of incentive for them to keep the silence ;)

I found this service station’s facilitates to be fine – clean and well-​maintained. The store was also fine. But what set this apart for me was the service. I had to unpack my car’s trunk to find something while filling up the car. I wound up driving off without a bag that was filled with rather expensive equipment and my passport.
Fortunately, I realized this less than a mile away and hurried back to the service station.
It turns out Sharon, an employee there, saw me leaving, grabbed the bag, tried to flag down the car, and then had taken it inside, put a note on it, and kept it safe. I noticed that while she had opened the bag, nothing inside had been disturbed, including items like an expensive Mac laptop and an iPad 3.
Thank you!

Good restroom as I-​5 pitstops go. Decent food mart with lots of beverages. Going South, this is your last good stop before Castaic. Going North, I’ll go here for a quick stop or to Flying J at Frazier Park for a slower but more pampered stop.
If you’re towing and stop off at Gorman, the Chevron here is easier to negotiate than the 76 across the street. Watch the steep far-​side driveways though.
Like a safe haven for travellers, this place is always open when you need it. Late at night, it is a close contest who looks more tired, you or the clerk. Thanks for being there, Chevron.

When on road trips it’s always good to be street smart about where you stop. Some things I look for when stopping:
1. well lit
2. clean bathrooms
3. non-​creepy staff (you know the kind, the ones that look like they would be in a wanted list operating the counter)
4. comparable gas prices
5. well stocked store for running in and driving off as quickly and conveniently as possible

Always good, friendly service. Prices are outrageous, but that is to be expected. Well stocked store, easy in and out, but the people are the reason to go there rather than, say, the 76 station.

Unacceptable.
Myself and five other people waited five plus minutes (the guy in front of me waited longer) while the only register was shut down and counted for a shift change… we were left wandering aimlessly around the two window counter, because neither employee took the time to let their customers know what was happening. We looked for escape but we were all gloriously denied.
Enough said.

Clean bathrooms for customers. Silly stuff in the bathrooms that were apparently an attempt at décor. It did make me smile though. The girl didn’t greet us when we came in. The prices were really reasonable, but no hostess products, a couple of empty shelves.

I stopped here on the way to Berkeley just to use the restroom and it’s not shabby! The store itself is an ok size, with a lot of varieties of snack and knick-​knacks.

Great place for a pit stop. Bathrooms are in good shape, always a plus. They even have a sign that says, «if the bathroom is not clean let the manager know.» Nice!
Gas is expensive so I wouldn’t buy it from here unless you really needed some.

Pulled through here last week end.
The lady in the store was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.
The bathroom was OK

3 Stars
This place has pulled thru for me 2x so far. I put off filling up the tank on the way back to SJ from socal, and had to stop by here. The first time the place wasn’t too clean (at least not outside), this time, it was better. The lady inside that gave me my receipt was nice… but it is annoying that I have to walk inside to get the receipt instead of it printing at the pump like everywhere else.
Not sure what happened, but I look up and hear some lady screaming for her husband… gas was shooting out of the pump all over their car. by the time he ran up and turned it off (not sure why she couldn’t do it herself), the place was flooded w/​gas. It may have been operator relatod error, but in case it wasn’t, keep a close eye on your pump and be careful… oh, and don’t smoke while you’re at the pump.

LOL! I can’t believe there’s already a review for this place.
Had to go… REALLY BAD! The rest of the family did too. This place is 3 miles before an actual rest area, so if you can’t wait to get off the mountain roads on I-​5, then stop at Chevron. The restroom (the men’s anyway) was clean.
That’s it. Didn’t need gas or food. Just the restroom.

This gas station is the pits. Expensive, old equipment, dirty.
As a matter of fact, this whole town sux. Avoid this exit at all costs! This town doesn’t deserve their own zip code — everything is so nasty and done half-​ass. Head a little bit further to the Flying J to the south or the Mobil up north.
