I was going to go visit a relative and since they were not home yet. I decided to stop by United Oil pick up a soda and chips and wait till she arrived. This location you cannot go inside they pass you your stuff you want thru a window and then pay for it. There was no long line just a regular gas station, located right on the corner of PCH/Vermont. A very busy intersection. read more

Best price around. Sometimes they even beat Costco. The only negative is that this gas station is on a small and crazy shaped lot. So, when it get busy it is very hard to get to a pump and to get in and out of. Next time? Still gonna pump cheap gas. read more

Cheapest gas in the area. So I"ve been coming here for years. That was until today. Today I came in and as usual used my credit card. The pump instructed me to see the cashier which I did. Her name was Serrina. I told I was instructed to see her. Very rudely Serrina told me I punched in the wrong Zip Code. Funny because any time I've ever done that I caught it myself and started over. So I went back and again it said to go back to the cashier. When I went back to tell her she cut me off and said just to put the card into the machine at the counter. Apparently she ASSUMED i put the wrong zip code in, thus making me stand in line not once, but TWICE for no reason. Serrina continued to be rude, telling me "How Much"? Sign Here, etc. I walked away shaking my head. I will no longer be coming to United Oil. At least not here anymore. read more

Cheap gas. Cheap gas. Cheap gas. Need I say it again? Okay, this place has cheap gas. It's cheaper than Costco and pretty much any other place around. It's a little skeevy, but it's got cheap gas. Yes I've compared the price at this gas station to that of Costco's on multiple occasions and this place always has Costco beat. It gets awfully crowded and it can be turned into from PCH but it's worth it for the cheap gas. read more

United Oil - C cheap gas here - Gas Stations Near Me - Harbor City, California

See all

This station always has the cheapest gas in the area. Wilmington may offer cheaper prices but they usually only take cash and charge a 35 cent transaction fee. Here I can get gas with my credit card at least 10 cents lower than the competition! The station is always updated and kept nice. I like that here is never any out of order signs. The line can get long and the station gets packed during peak hours so I try to skip those times. I've been coming here for years and this is my default gas station. Trust me 10 cents adds up over time! Sidebar: the taco truck next door is fantastic! read more

United Oil - Gas Stations Near Me - Harbor City, California

This gas station is in such a gross location that it's really difficult for me to stop here. But I do stop here because the gas prices I think I probably the best in Los Angeles County. If you know of a place with cheaper gas, please let me know is I just have never found it no matter where my travels have taken me throughout the city. Today I paid $2.95 which is expensive because we are in the aftermath of hurricane Harvey. However the shell just down the street was $3.09 a gallon. It's also always cheaper than the former Circle K which is now an ExxonMobil that is not too far away either. read more

United Oil - Gas Stations Near Me - Harbor City, California

The best thing about this location are the gas prices. You can pretty much count on this gas station to have some of the cheapest prices you've ever seen. Well that's great there are often seems to be a fair amount of vagrants walking around in the lot which puts me off a little bit. Sometimes I'm too scared to go to the window to pay and cash so I just stick to using credit card at this location. read more

United Oil - Nice gas station foliage... - Gas Stations Near Me - Harbor City, California

Best prices in LA area I have seen so far. They even beat Costco and ARCO, and on top of that they take regular credit cards without an extra charge. Winning. They are usually at least 15-20 cents cheaper than the cheapest station in KTown, and like 30-40 cents cheaper than name brand stations in West LA, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills. They are super busy, which is actually a good thing for gas. You always want to go to a high volume gas station since they will always have fresh gas, which mean less contaminants. Also, don't pump gas when the tanker is there refilling the tanks ... it will stir up all the crap in the tanks. Better to wait at least an hour to let all that crap settle back down to the bottom. They also have those tvs at each pump which is nice. They are also located right on PCH near the 110 so really convenient. They have a price war with Circle K down the block and 90% of the time have the same prices, but I generally will use them because they are busier and thus have fresher gas, unless the price difference gets larger than like 2 cents. Only downside of this place is that the area is not that good (but its well lit and lots of customers so feel relatively safe) but there will be bums there once in a while. It helps to dress down but when you drive a luxury car, no matter what you wear or look like they will come for you in a beeline. Best tactic for me has been to either say I only have a credit card or feign that I can't speak English. After all, there is no point to pumping cheap gas if you are going to give all your savings away, right? Some people have mentioned that the lot shape is weird ... I've found the best way to go in depends on which way you will go. If you are going to keep going west on PCH, pass the station, and turn right on Vermont and turn right into the station. After filling up drive straight out and make a right onto PCH. If you want to go east on PCH or get on the 110, then enter in off PCH before Vermont, then after pumping go out to Vermont driveway make a left then another left onto PCH. read more

Just stopped here to get gas. Pump wasn't working properly. There was a guy nearby emptying trash bins (wearing company shirt) and checking other pumps. I asked him what was wrong with pump #8. He shrugged his shoulders, couldn't care less, didn't offer to help. I know it's self-service, but come on! A little kindness goes a long way. read more

Okay, yes they have cheap gas here. But besides that it is a total shitshow. It's crowded like a mother and it's just about a fight to get to the Gas Pump and basically it's because these idiots don't know which side of the car their tank is on. Want to pay in cash? Good luck getting to the teller without getting shot. read more

Don't use a credit card here. Twice now I have suffered IDENTITY THEFT immediately after filling up. PAY CASH ONLY. Someone is taking your credit card number and using it in Inglewood and elsewhere right after you fill up. read more

Great prices but way too crowded and out of date. The pumps can use an upgrade. My husband comes here for diesel those pumps tend to be open almost every time we go to the gas station which is a great thing. Another bonus is the proximity to the taco truck. read more

This postage stamp sized gas station offers some of the cheapest basin the South Bay. On 6-8-13, I paid $3.79. No penalty for using credit cards, but the station does get crowded. I use this station when on my way to the 110 freeway. read more

Filled up twice in the past two weeks with Diesel and the next day both times the water separator light came on. Didn't think it was the gas station until the second time this happened. read more

This is going to be short and simple. When you're looking for reasonably priced gas, this is the place to go to. It is usually 5-10 cents lower than the big named gas stations like Chevron or Shell. read more

The prices here are usually the lowest around this area. It's a good deal and about a 1/2 mile from the 110 freeway, which is good because gas station prices near the freeways are usually pretty high. read more

This place has the best gas prices in the area and I like that thy don't charge different prices for cash or credit card customers. Main negative about this place is that it is very small and if it's even somewhat crowded it's very difficult to maneuver your car around and really hard if you have a minivan or a SUV. Also, there are usually people (pan handlers) here who always ask for spare change hanging around the gas pumps. read more

CREDIT CARD SKIMMING AT THIS GAS STATION. My son had his debit card information skimmed and I had my credit card information skimmed from this station. My son is poor and his bank account was cleaned out and over drafted. I called the manager and he was not sympathetic at all. He said, "Just call your bank and get a charge back." Be ware of skimming devices if you fill up here. read more

Cheapest gas in the South Bay. This is a really small United Oil station tucked away between a stretch of PCH/Vermont near Harbor Park and the 110 fwy. Its usually crowded, which isn't really an issue since there are so many pumps. United Oil is known around the LA area for their elaborate architecture and design schemes unique to each station (ex: The Ocean-themed Carson location). This particular branch is very spartan and minimal with no design. Instead they have maximized pump space to serve as many cars as possible. They have a small mart but no walk ins allowed (the cashier will grab what you want and put it in the sliding 2-way drawer after you paid). Sometimes there are some homeless people around who will wash your windows for you (the guy I get actually does a great job at a $1.00 per window!). I try to help them out. read more

Let me start off by saying I have been pumping gas here for years, even before it was United Oil and never have I come across an encounter with RUDE employee. I walked up to the window and the employee was having a conversation with a local in the area about "politics", I stood and waited until the gentleman finished as I was never acknowledged. When it was finally my turn, I gave the employee a gift card, the gentleman held it in his hands "staring at it, not once saying anything, then I finally asked him "do you guys not take gift cards"? The employee handed the gift card back to me and said "swipe" so I did just that. The receipt then printed up and I was never informed what I need to do next so I asked the guy "Are we good here" employee NEVER acknowledged my questioned so I was under the impression everything came out good so I walked away. Went to go pump gas and of course it did not work so I then went back to the window and said "pump 3 isn't working" and the employee stated VERY RUDELY "well you walked away when your supposed to sign this receipt" and I said "well you never said anything or acknowledged me as your customer" he continued to argue with me stating that "Well don't just walk away next time". We both had a few extra words to say to each other when I finally stated to him to "just give me my money back and I will never ever be back to this gas station again". He then came across an intercom speaker and said "Thank you, there's a gas station up the street. So let me ask this question, this employee states I just walked away so was there a reason why he couldn't use that same intercom speaker to say "excuse me Mrs. " or anything else to get my attention? I feel this employee needs to go through some type of training on how to handle customers. I understand this location has a lot of homeless people hanging around and he must have to deal with a lot of issues but don't take it out on your PAYING CUSTOMERS. I will be putting a complaint in to their headquarters as well about this employee. I don't know his name but I came on 8/2/2017 in the early evening time read more

Always has the lowest prices in gas. However crowded and yesterday I pull into fuel up and run my card through, machine says go ahead and pump gas. Nothing comes out. I hit Help button and no help. I go to counter. Pump #7 isn't working bro! He says that's because its been turned off. I tell him. I am supposed to know this how? There is no sign, notice, machine is turned on and the guy in the pump in front of me just finished filling up his ride. He tells me to wait 5-10 minutes for shift change. WTF?! I wait. The machines get reset. At least at this point a few other customers are waiting for the reset. Then I try again. Machine says go to counter. I pay cash but an attempt to use my debit card at Pep Boys gets denied. Apparently the machine reset caused a blip on the Fraud Prevention on my card. Had to call and sort out with bank. This experience should have been avoidable and the employee was a bit of a jerk. No explanation or apology. At least I wasn't the only customer annoyed and confused during the shift change or whatever that was. Cheap gas is the only reason I did not leave a 1 star rating. read more

Athough I've been dealing with the gas station for at least ten years I've recently had a bad experience with a new employee. He comes across as arrogrant and cockey. Usually the employees are friendly and accomadating this young man not so much. Prehaps he needs to have a sit down with management. He said that his managers name was Francisco. He should know that he could have an impact on the reputation of the business and may need to brush up on his people skills. He works there between the hours of 8am to 5pm. read more
