This Gas Station is Bullshit. It F*cked my car and someone is going to pay for this. I filled up my gas tank with 91 on July 3rd on my way to work and less than 2 mins. of driving my car had a check engine light and car started to shake terribly. I had to pull into a street named Cliffwood as the car died and had to call a tow truck, My M3 is currently in the shop since Tuesday July 9th getting a full diagnostics and found out the gas was mixed with either water or some type of alcohol content. Possibly Ethanol. I told my mechanic to save it for me for proof just in case a lawsuit is necessary. What are you guys doing to get this resolved that had this experience ? More trouble with this Gas Station. Updated Photos July 30, 2024 read more

Beware! On Wednesday 7/03 I got gas at this station. Shortly after my car shuddered and shut off and would not turn back on. Tow truck came and took my car to the dealer. Today 7/05 I got a call from the mechanic that there was water in my tank. Looking for any other cars that experienced the same issue around this time. read more

United Oil 76 - Water found in my gas tank. - Gas Stations Near Me - Brea, California

UPDATE: Have been contacted by claims. Working through the process. Pumped gas here on 7/3. Shortly after getting on the freeway, my husband wasn't able to accelerate. Long story short, we got it towed home because our mechanic was closed until 7/9. Mechanic said we bad, contaminated gas. Parts will take WEEKS and we are looking at costly repair. Looks like I'm one of the few recent reviewers here who pumped using the 91 grade. Just got in contact with District Manager to get some resolve. read more

And then few hrs later they told me there is more problem further than that so they need to inspect more. Next day, egr valve need to replace too. The service personal told me the problem was the gas that i put in. There was more water than gas. I m attaching what i had to fix. read more

United Oil 76 - Gas Stations Near Me - Brea, California

My wife and I stopped to get gas here today in SEPARATE cars. Both cars are one or two years ago. Never had a problem. Got 91 gas in both cars. Both cars shook violently and died within 10 minutes of leaving the gas station. What do you put in your gas? EDIT: While waiting for separate tow trucks, my wife calls the gas station and tells the employee what happened to our cars and that there is something wrong with their gas. She suggested that they should stop customers from using these pumps until they figure out what is happening. After our cars got towed and after picking up a rental car at Enterprise (3 hours later), we decided to drive by the gas station to see if they at least blocked off the two pumps from other customers using it. To our surprise, people were still using these pumps. So we pulled over and I told the employee that they need to at least stop more customers from getting gas. I reminded him that my wife had called him earlier. He acknowledged she did call but that he "didn't know which number pump." We're facing a very expensive resolution with two newish cars that are now at mechanics, who will look into any irregularities with the gas, and potentially major repairs to our cars and additional missed work due to all this. read more

Just a quick stop to fill up before we continue our road trip. They offer a variety of services .This gad station has a mini mart for snacks and drinks and items in between. They also have a drive through car wash if your automobile needs one. Gas prices seam reasonable. read more

BEWARE! Last July 3, 2024, I stopped at this gas station since I only got 30 miles left gas. In the middle of 57 my Audi suddenly not accelerating and it completely stopped. My car is new and everything is checked and working well except they found like a cup of water added to the premium gas. I spent almost $800 for the repair. read more

I had the same experience that occurred on 07/03. I pumped gas at around 11:00AM and after driving not even a mile my car died on me. I had a mobile mechanic check on it and was told that the fuel was contaminated with water. Great! read more

United Oil 76 - Look at that! - Gas Stations Near Me - Brea, California

Very rude Cashier. First time I went here few months ago, the cashier was extremely rude when I asked if they accept Apple Pay. He wanted to scan the bottled water I wanted to buy and he said "hello I have to scan it" Just now, I went to gas and I wanted to buy water again.... AGAIN, same cashier he was rude saying they're "close". He is so grumpy and rude yelling at customers or telling customers to go away because they're "close" I would understand if he said it nicely or at least talk to the customer in a decent manner, but nope. read more

Rude and possibly racist gas station I've ever went to. Usually put gas and that's it. Wanted to buy some water and snacks so I walked up to the window. I guess they just had shift change or something. Old guy working there had note stating no transaction BUT, the stuff I wanted was in the shelf/ cooler outside before you get to the window. I stopped to look for about 2 seconds which also means I didn't have chance to look at the sign yet since I'm not at the window yet. This rude guy on the microphone didn't say "sorry no transaction at the moment" he only said to me on the speaker, "HEY". That's it. Who addresses customer by "Hey"? I looked at him and all he did was pointing his finger towards the sign. So I walked up to the window to read it so just to be clear, I asked no transaction for anything? He didn't respond. I then asked not even snack or water? He didn't say anything and just pointed at the sign again. I'm already pumping gas and as a customer, being addressed as "Hey" and no other words was just rude. Just pointing at the sign without any words towards an Asian man living in the area for 43 years just felt like he doesn't want to give any effort to treat me as a customer. I've never felt or was treated this way. Even if he was having a bad day doesn't give him reason to be rude to a customer and ruining someone's night. Picture shows where the first cooler is located where I was standing and you can see the sign on the window. Not going there ever again and making sure everyone I know in the area doesn't either. read more

My husband also got gas at the same gas station five days ago and the same thing happened. The car is at the mechanic now since the mechanic was closed over the weekend and there is water in the gas tank. My husband had just filled up the tank at the same gas station. Lawsuit material. read more

FOR CARWASH ONLY: Beautiful gas station, so if I were rating it on looks alone I would give it 4 stars. I don't use 76 gasoline, but I thought I would try this drive-through carwash. Carwash is not good.... or was not good the time I tried it. I will admit that I only tried it once, but once is all you need to know whether you want to go back and pay for a wash. I do not. It is a newer one, so I had high hopes, but I drove away with mainly just dust washed off and my car completely soaking wet (and yes I went through the drying cycle). I paid the full $9 for the Works. Drove in slowly, as instructed, but the squirty things (how's that for official terminology?) on the underside of the car were very weak, if I had any buildup, it would definitely not be knocked off by the drinking fountain pressure. I went up inside the wash until I received the red light to stop. Beautiful soap cascaded over my windshield and that is about the last good part of the wash. The spinny red washy things (again, official terminology) only went over my SUV once then I was hosed off and apparently dried. Kinda bummed, but always good to know where the good (easy) carwashes are. Hopefully I've helped you out a bit by letting you know that this one is one you can just drive on past unless you just want the dust knocked off and want to spend time drying it yourself. On the plus side: It's a nice-to-look-at station. read more

I only buy Chevron gas, but I used the automated car wash here. It was great. Choose 3 different washes varying from 8-12 dollars. Pay then drive in and park. Enjoy the show for about 5 mins and drive out. Can't wait to take my son to experience this. Car wasn't spotless but well worth the 12 bucks. Wish I learned about this sooner. read more

Do not come here for a carwash. I paid for the highest one and there's still so much dirt and it didnt dry my car AT ALL. I had to go to the self serve car wash close by. read more

Worst gas station ever. Rude cashier. They won't let you use the vacuum when you get a car wash and the vacuum only accepts coins. I will not be returning. There are much better places to get gas or get your car washed close by. read more

incredibly rude cashier and awful car wash. I went through the car was here and it is absolutely the worst car wash I have ever had. My car is still dirty and it looks like it was freshly rained on. Almost like it didn't dry at all. I paid for the "primo" car wash. Cashier was basically rolling his eyes the entire time he mansplained that car washes don't dry the car. I don't know what was worse - the terrible car wash or terrible interaction with the cashier. Save your money. read more

A gas station that runs out of the gas I need right when I need it most. How delightful!

Other gas stations are deceptive in their pricing. You are lured in by the "cash" price and you find out you have to pay more when you use debit. Not at this one! This place is awesome because you get cash prices when using debit. I know of no other gas station that does this. It's also clean, they always have paper towels and it's in the same plaza as a Vons and credit union ATM. What more can you ask for? Just remember, HIT THE RED BUTTON FIRST! You'll be greeted with a message saying, "We are lowering your gas prices!" read more

I would give this place negative stars if I could, but I don't have that option. The short story: The service was ridiculously inattentive and unhelpful. The long story: The woman working was unbelievably rude, not at all helpful or friendly. The car wash code that I had didn't work. So I brought it up to the front person (because after repeatedly pushing the "help" button or whatever it was right in front of the car wash, no one came out to help). And she might as well have said "So? What do you want?", because that's what her face said. She talked on the phone with someone for forever, then had me fill out some form with my NAME, ADDRESS, and PHONE NUMBER!, and I'm thinking, "hell no, I'm not giving my address to some business, when she didn't even give me a reason why they need it" So I handed it to her blank, and she goes "no address, no refund" She pointed to the phone number posted on the window, which I called, and how convenient, their operating hours is M-F, and today is SUNDAY. I don't like to yell, and I don't yell, especially at strangers, but at one point, I was pretty much yelling. Her name is PERLA. I will never go back to that gas station. EDIT: Don't know if they are united oil, they're the gas station on Brea Blvd and State College read more

Gas prices are about average for the area for name brand gas. Tried it out after my favorite Al-Ron Chevron on Tamarack converted to a Shell station. I prefer not to buy their 10% Ethanol gas. Seems clean and stocked. I don't use the attendant anywhere if possible, since I don't like waiting, nor leaving my car unattended even briefly. I could do without the blaring TV monitors advertising to me the instant I step out of my car. Turn down the volume at least. Geez -- can't we have just a few moments' peace while we pump our gas? 3 stars would be "A-OK" and that one annoyance means it is definitely not A-OK here. UPDATE: I was promptly and politely contacted by the business shortly after my review. They said they would turn the monitor volumes down, and they have. Thank you very much! I have revised my rating to 4 stars, accordingly. UPDATE 20170911: The blaring advertising monitor volume has been turned right back up to annoyingly loud again. I have lowered my rating once again, in response. Do we have to be blared at the entire time we are here?! Apparently someone thinks so. Fine. Then your rating becomes "Meh. I've experienced better." It certainly does not deserve "A-OK". If I have to be blared at the whole time, you are now definitely worse than average. Most gas stations do not do this to us. read more

I have gone to this station twice in the last week since they put in new pumps and I have been charged for air no gas is coming out of pump 3 just air if even that and I have been told that I have to call corporate read more

I get gas here sometimes. The price isn't THAT great... but comparable to the other 76 stations in the area. You save a couple of cents if you buy a carwash.... but do you really save? The place is a bit run down ins parts. The tenant is in a small glass room loaded up with cigarets. The time I had to communicate with the person, they were pretty much confused. I only buy gas here if I think I won't make it to the 7 on imperial by Home Depot and Trader Joe's. They seem to have a better price.... and a mini mart that is well stocked. read more

This is a gas station with a carwash. You can buy snacks inside. The water and air work. It is close to the grocery store. Plus they gave discounts if you use their credit card. What's not to like. :-) read more

United Oil 76 - 89 Chevrolet Corvette - Gas Stations Near Me - Brea, California

This place sucks, the gas sucks, and the people who work here suck. Their pump malfunctioned in me and the attendant literally watched as gas spilled to the ground. All he screamed at me after was that "It's not his problem." Irregardless my entire family and I will not be pumping gas here again. Recommend going to the one on puente and lambert. Better prices too. read more

We have pumped gas here so many times. As long as there is no problem, everything is perfect. 1. Never ever wash your car there! The machine is super old and didn't get my car cleaned. Pay $2 more to find a better carwash elsewhere will make your day 2. This place is always fine, just like another gas station, except for 1 time. I set the pump speed at low and went back to my driver seat and waited. The fuel flooded my tank and it still kept going!! I was there helping my daughter at the back seat and saw exactly what happened right there! I threw the pump onto the ground immediately but still the gasoline just kept going on coming out from the pump!! I freaked out and I forgot how I stopped it. I saw the $$$ kept on rolling while the gasoline leaking out. My tire was covered by gasoline While I had a toddler with me, i couldn't leave her inside the car by herself. I asked a customer to help me get the cashier over to take a look of what happened. The worker (looks like from Middle East, who has dark skin color) took his most sweetest time walking over. I was pissed and shocked the whole time, wanted to tell him this pump is not working properly. He sighed to hush me because he was still taking his sweet time heading over. After I explained to him, I blamed it on me said I must have locked it thats why it didnt stop. HUH????? Did he really expect me to stand there to hold on the pump for the whole time?? He continued, "it never happened before." He simply placed the pump back and went back to his office. You can tell me he doesn't get paid much so don't expect any royal services. But I am telling you, this kind of worker gets paid on what he is good for. read more

The car wash breaks all the time and the lady working there is rude, unprofessional, and ignorant. Will go out of my way to never go there again. read more

Aside from the fact that I'm sacrificing quality for saving time, this car wash is a rip off: there was a paper taped by the cheapest option saying that it was out of service-- strange, because I don't see how if the basic wash is out of service, the more premium options still work. Clicked on the cheapest option anyway and worked perfectly fine. Don't fall for this petty scam. Pathetic. read more

The drive thru car wash is trash. Takes at 7 mins per car wash and it leaves awful water marks. Biggest waste of my money

Went to get gas at this station, and the pay at the pump wasn't working correctly, so I went to the window to pay. The person working was no help. He accused me of not using the pump correctly. I think he was also prejudice. He was a total a..hole. I ended up leaving and going to a different 76 station. read more

This is for the car wash. After the wash finishes drying your car you are left with water all over. It pretty much means you have to hand dry your car otherwise you're left with water marks. I definitely will not be returning for a car wash from here. read more

Great neighborhood gas station, convenient to 57 access on Lambert and Brea Canyon. Clean and well maintained. Pleasant, friendly staff: in particular, Brenda is extremely courteous, professional and gracious; she's a favorite for the regulars who come here, because she welcomes everyone and is happy to see them, making stopping for gas here a bright spot in a busy day. read more

Car wash rating only - horrible! Yelp should have a zero star rating. My car came out of the car wash worse than when I went in. Pink soap remained all over my car and the windows were so hazy with a film of it I had to wash my windows prior to driving away and the entire car at home. It had been years since using this car wash so I gave it another chance, huge mistake! It's worse than years ago! Go to Mobile at Imperial and Harbor, discount on gas with a wash and a great wash! read more

This gas station is a master of scams. The post $3.99 for gas and when you start pumping you see $4.17. When I call them out they say that the $3.99 posted price on the sign out front is only for Union 76 customers. Thankfully I only gave them 2 gallons and will never ever go to UNION 76 ever!!! I am also filing a complaint with the BBB read more

Very very rude cashiers. They can't say that they're just having bad day because I work close by and our shop gets gas and buys cigarettes almost everyday and not just once a day. The younger lady and the older guy both have Very very bad customer service. I just hope I can complain to them formally because it is irritating already. I just have no choice because our boss sends me there! read more

I can't believe no one has Yelped about this unassuming and favorite gas station on mine. Here's why: Its the lowest-priced station in town!! PLUS it has a drive-thru car wash that you start with codes purchased at the pump. You can't beat that. Low maintenance, lots of bays and TVs to keep you abreast of traffic and the weather while you pump. read more

I was contacted by a rep from United oil and I will have to say the recovery from my review was great. She was very professional and made me feel like I was an important voice.
