I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. I first used them in March of '19 for a Smog Check and an oil change on my '98 Lexus LS400 with 220,000 miles. I got a call that I also needed transmission fluid. I picked up the car later in the day. Today, again, I picked up my car after it's required oil change (yes, I don't put a lot of miles on the car.) I had asked that they give the car a "once-over," which, I was told is procedural. My invoice showed a "25-item Checklist" at no charge and my oil change. Additionally, a week ago I drove in with a flat tire. They pulled the tire, pulled a screw, plugged the tire, put it back on the car, and replaced the spare in the trunk. The Charge? $35. The owner and staff are so helpful and wonderful people with whom to work. We are fortunate to have this service in our back yard. read more

prices on fuel and everything else at this chevron are for ppl who like to pay as much as possible

Guy inside at 9:45pm saying they are closed and can't help me even though they are supposed to be open until 10pm... Pretty outrageous. Walked 20 min to make it on time to just buy some cigarettes and can't help. Crazy.. read more

The Asian guy here was nice enough to let me use the bathroom before purchasing gas. The gas station was clean, and is a nice area. However, he might have forgot to press button on giving me gas after I purchased. It made me feel weird to try pumping gas a couple times when that was locked. He doesn't have to accommodate me to get gas as he tried to do. It made me feel a bit weird, but hey there is gas. Would recommend this place for others to try to get gas as well. Especially for tourists Asian people who might not know the area too well. Not promising anything is going to be the same to everyone, but this is just my own experience. read more

I was very, very happy with my service at Chevron, from the minute I called to the completion of my service. I needed a smog check and fast... when I called the office they were extremely courteous, polite, and FAST! I was able to get my car in right away, and it took all of 20 minutes. The price was extremely reasonable and the customer service excellent. I called around quite a bit before coming here... every smog place was either a 1 hour wait, didn't have a technician, or was way more expensive then this Chevron. Apparently they do all types of car repairs and tires too. Highly recommended! read more

Review for gas only. Pumps are open 24 hrs but the small store attached isn't. Had the store been open would have been great to wander in and grab a drink. Pumps had a small TV on them with entertainment and commercials. Everything looked clean and worked well. Pumps seemed fast enough. There is an automotive repair attached. read more

See all

Free water and air! I'm really thankful because this helped a lot when I was in a pinch! Some places required quarters or payment or for you to pump gas (which is reasonable!) But it's nice to have this as an option when I am short on time! Thank you! read more

Menlo Park Chevron is a terrific place for your food, gas, and vehicle maintenance. The gentlemen in the Store area are accommodating and kind. There are a number of great treats available at modest prices. Automobile Service with John, and the other team members, is fantastic. This certainly is the place to bring your car for honesty and quality. I have been patronizing the Station for approximately three years, and can highly recommend them with five stars. Try it and see for yourself. read more

I've interacted with John during my more recent visits and he too is great! Very friendly and knowledgeable, and understands the pain of commuting from Fremont. He even put oil in my car for the same price as two quarts since the brand he recommended was not in stock. Thank you for being here!! read more

I usually come to this Chevron for gasoline because of the partnership they have with Safeway for discounted gas. They also have a wonderful little store and the customer service is always very nice. I recently left a message for their auto repair folks and didn't hear back. I made a follow up call and they were very sorry for not returning my call. They said they would check on whomever is responsible for returning calls. Anyway, very nice customer service and I plan to return. read more

The station is super clean and John P. is a really nice, professional guy who does his best to please. I've had no problem getting all my cars smogged, quick oil changes and flat fixes here. He can get pretty busy, so call ahead for an appointment if you can. If you have any kind of an emergency give this Chevron a call first, if they can't help you, they'll suggest someone that can. My only gripe is when Johns gone for lunch no one mans the desk, and you could be waiting for a while before you get help. read more

This place is the worst customer service don't even bother to come and get any service done.... This place used to be the best gas station in town with the best service I just happened to bring my vehicle for smog check one of the service personnel said are you dropping off your vehicle? And I said no so I explained what I needed done with my car and he said it will take an hour??? I said for what? He was sitting on his chair doing nothing I was on my lunch break with very little time . Honestly people don't take pride anymore very disappointed with the service I don't recommend this place Specially on repair services.. read more

I called to see if I needed an appointment to bring my car in for a smog check. He took my phone number and said he would call me back the next day. And that I DID need an appointment. Two days later still no call back. Don't waste your time with this place. I got my car smogged today somewhere else. No appointment needed! read more

Great job with my smog check. Very friendly and professional service. They accommodated my walk-in perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

Menlo Park Chevron - Gas Stations Near Me - Menlo Park, California

I went in to do my smog test and got Excellent and quick service, loved that they open really early, the staff is really nice, personable and friendly. Price for the smog was a bit expensive, even with yelp check-in promo (saving you $20) it came out to $58 and some change. Where as others places can be $40 out the door. But, still giving 5 stars just cause they were able to get me in and out really fast and have a great attitude while I was trying to rush them. I would recommend lowering prices though!! read more

Great service, very helpful. Willing to take the time to ensure that the customer feels valued. I recommend coming here for all of your car troubles, as long as they can fix it. read more

I went to Chevron for a standard oil change and got a call while my car was in the shop urging me to service my brake and transmission fluid as well. I was shocked when I returned to have $340 in charges added to my bill. I feel like I was taken advantage of because I did not know when my car had been serviced last as it is a shared car. I wish I had been advised about how much the fluid replacement would cost before they exchanged it. My mechanic tells me now they rarely need to be replaced. read more

I needed to smog my daughters car yesterday. I had little time and, I was looking for a place close, and with a coupon. These guys took me right in around 4 PM. They gave me $20 off with a yelp coupon, and had me in and out in 15 minutes. Thanks you guys for making it easy and affordable. Great friendly, fast service. read more

Once again, AwEsOmE service! I like this place for it's honesty and care. Believe you me (what does that even mean?) I do NOT like taking my vehicle into places for repairs or diagnostics, as you just never know how they truly are until it's too late. This place, I trust and believe in and really appreciate having a place to go when in need! THANK YOU read more

I've been coming here for about 11 years. Always in good hands at Menlo Chevron. They do an excellent job and provide wonderful customer service. Highly recommend! read more

Quick and efficient service for setting up a smog test. Also offered opportunity to save $20 by going to their website for the coupon. Very nice! read more

They were able to take me on the same day. Fast and reasonably priced for a smog. The gentleman told me it would be about 25 min so I walked to Starbucks and came back. My car was ready. Polite and professional customer service. Will definitely be back ! read more

I took my 94 Ford Ranger in for a smog test which because of its age required I believe what was called an advanced compression test. John was great and just made my visit very easy and quick. I don't know if I'll keep my old Ranger for another 2 years but if I do I will take it to Menlo Park Chevron for its next smog test and for anything else in between it might need.

I've been coming here for the past 6 months and they've just done a fantastic job every time. I have an older car so it's not the easiest to deal with but John has provided such great customer service and has not disappointed. I[m glad I found this Chevron to bring my car too because it's convenient as I work just a couple blocks down. They always have great coupons and deals online too! As for the other reviewers who have bad reviews, I think when you call and constantly ask them about their deals and promos, it's going to get old and annoying for them when you CAN just visit their website. Their job isn't to tell you every single deal of the day/month, so do your research and if you have additional questions then call or stop by. That's just my $0.02! read more

Clean... that's very important, well stocked of snacks. Slamming Butterfinger flavored coffee. Appears to be a smokers haven for each of my visits the main items people are constantly buying are cigarettes and lighters. Good balance of nice customers and assholes. read more

MPC fixes cars, has a nice snack shop, does smog checks (with or without appointments) and has 8 gas pumps. They are friendly but getting in and out might be tough for large vehicles. With such limited space everyone parks carefully. They have been in the same spot for decades. Shell and Chevron are typically the higher cost gasoline stations but always have high quality products. read more

Smog check: more expensive than some (around $58), but still reasonable. Service was great, was done sooner than expected, and staff was friendly and professional. Would come back read more

Thank you Mr. John Poulet for the service you provided today. My husband brought in our Toyota 4Runner, and although it didn't pass the smog, your customer service is rarely found these days. Thank you for the discount you gave for being a Veteran as well. Sometimes it's the little things that folks do that go a long way! God bless you sir! I'll be sending more business your way! read more

This service station was really great! I went there for a smog check, and they were not only very friendly, their service is excellent! They got it done within 20 minutes and the whole process was very smooth. I would go there again to get my car serviced. read more

The were able to fit me in quickly, took 15 to 20 minutes to get smog check done, great service, nice people, car passed. Then told me to go to AAA if i was a member to get sticker. Easy , nice people, great customer service. read more

As always, Menlo Park Chevron is a great place for any car services. I called in about an hour before they take their last appointment for a smog check, and did a great job. Thanks to Edgar G. and his crew for helping me out! read more

My first visit, Great job on my oil change, asked them about brake pads Etc... Gave me a box of see's candy! Who wouldn't love that..ill be back! read more

This place is down the street from me. I was way overdue for my car registration and called in the morning to see if they could fit me in. They gave me a same day appointment, I brought my car in, and they were able to do the smog test really fast. They also offered me a coupon discount at the register! Now my car work is done. I'll definitely be back! read more

These guys are so nice! One of my tires was nearly flat. They took a look at all four tires made sure to put enough air in all of them. There was no obvious damage and the tire seems to be holding air. They took care of me free of charge. Thank you! read more

Ok I know it's like a little ridiculous to rate a gas station, but this is for Edgar who works at the service center. Drove up with all my tires flat and couldn't find the air pump. Randomly yelling out the window for help. Edgar comes out, super nice and smiling, directs me into a service bay. Realizes I have no idea how to use the fancy air pump and proceeds to fill up all my tires and send me off with a smile, no charge. I feel like there's a real dearth of good service in this area so it was really pleasant to have a nice guy go out of his way to help someone out. read more

We take our van always to this shop, no matter what needs to be done and we are always happy with the service. The team is friendly and efficient and always offer a great service. Thank you! read more

Smog check: Fast, friendly, competent service at a reasonable price! Will be back in 2 years.

Friendly service in a convenient location. This is a go to shop for my maintenance needs.
