The older woman working there today ran out of her booth and started yelling at me in front of a bunch of other customers. She accused me of pumping another customer's gas. After I told her I had just paid with my card and have a receipt, she demanded to know how much I had paid. I told her the amount and she realized her mistake and started walking away. No apology. I told her she needs to approach people differently and she just ignored me and continued walking. read more

They got nice prices, but after all from the people that you're talking to if you even try calling them to ask for what's gas prices they even try acting like they didn't even hear you during the microphone at all even well yeah you know damn well near it's works just as fine. Literally hung up the first call without saying nothing just to act like a bitch read more

Once a good value but no longer. Debit cards are now treated as "credit" and today, they are .54 cents higher than Costco. Also, Costco accepts Visa without any additional fees. If you think you can't afford a Costco membership, think again. I saved almost $10 on one 18 gallon fill-up. read more

United Oil - .54 cents more than Costco with debit card. - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

My main complaint is with the gas station attendant Rhonda. I went to get gas and she had this passive-aggressive attitude towards me. She made a big stink about me asking for a receipt when I got my gas filled up, and when I told her I didn't need the receipt for when I filled up my gas, she insisted I take it. Does anyone know how to get her fired, because that's what needs to happen? I tried calling the customer service number, but the're not responsive. read more

Couldn't get gas here. The card reader wasn't working and the attendant was more interested in having a 10min conversation with an older lady than serving the line behind her. Now I understand some customers like to talk, but good customer service skills include the ability to politely end conversations with chatty customers. read more

Worst gas station I have ever had to use. They aren't helpful when the card reader is broken on the pump. Go somewhere else for gas!! read more

If I could give this gas station 1 star I would. I've made several complaints about an employee who works there who seem obviously inebriated and rude her customer service is awful I have made these complaints to the manager Fernando and to no avail he has done nothing about I use to be a regular at this establishment I will no longer come here because of this read more

I went to this place because the sign showed $3.59/Gal for 87 octane gas if you pay cash. I go there and there is a shift change (only one person works the booth). That is fine, so I wait for a while (at least 10 mins) and then pre-pay with cash. I pump the gas and for whatever reason, I am being charged $3.89/Gal. I made sure to select 87 octane. I bring the receipt to the cashier and she says there is nothing she can do. I could come back on Monday morning to see whoever it is I would need to get this reconciled with. Of course I am not doing that, so not only did I wait to pay with cash, I ended up paying more than I should have by far, and nothing useful could be done about it. read more

Came here 10/26 12:30am after work and the guy didn't want to take my $50 bill because it was too wrinkled.... wtf?! And he was being rude. Last time I checked money is money, and it wasn't even that wrinkled! I was just trying to get gas. read more

I would give no stars if I could. As I was getting gas here today a man in front of me was pumping gas WHILE ACTIVELY SMOKING A CIGARETTE. I went up to the worker in the booth and this was the conversation: Me: "There is a man at pump 6 smoking a cigarette and pumping gas." Worker: "And?" Me: "It doesn't seem safe to smoke with gas fumes around." Worker (with a snotty attitude): "So? There's nothing to worry about. Smoking doesn't pose a danger here." Me: "Gasoline and fire don't mix. I don't understand why there are posted 'NO SMOKING' signs then." Worker: There's nothing I can do about it." Me: "Ok. Hmmmm. Ok." What a jerk, both the smoker and the worker in the kiosk. Not going back here, ever. read more

I used to prefer this gas station because price/gallon was good and real - usually my gas tank gets filled with $75 when empty today I had 2 quarters in my tank before coming here and spent $85 so I'm disappointed- now their machines are not properly calibrated as many other gas stations - I hope they fix them soon read more

This is the cheapest gas prices in the area aside from Costco or on military bases! Last week it was $3.49/gal for regular which was the exact same as Costco on Morena that has a longer line and requires a membership... read more

I like the prices at United Oil, and we'll go out of our way to buy smokes here, because they are the cheapest I've found anywhere. I do however have one gigantic pet peeve about this place, for some unknown reason, they completely stop waiting on customers while they do "shift change". Now, I have a restaurant, and we change shifts constantly- I simply can't imagine what would happen if we just stopped serving people, cooking food, closing checks etc... for upwards of 10 minutes (not kidding, this is not a 1 minute thing) Please - change your shift change policies (I watched 4 separate customers give up in disgust with the wait this afternoon!) read more

I'm writing this place off forever. Yes they have the cheapest gas around. But I did the math and for 10 cents more I'll go up the street to the place within Clairemont Square. The stress of this place just isn't worth saving a buck or two. There is usually one pump broken, and that combined with the layout and few pumps they have make getting in and out a pain in the ass. read more

If you enjoy getting RIPPED OFF AND ROBBED, than this is the place for you. I had $20 stolen by this place this morning at 9:45/9:50 am. I gave the tenant Emma $25.00 cash to get gas, to pump number 10. A gentleman behind me in line also gave her cash. I'm wondering if she got confused? But she only gave me $5.00 on my pump. When I went back up to the window to ask her where the other $20 had gone, she replied only gave her five dollars. She open up the door to check the ones and they weren't there. I don't know if she pocketed the money, or she just wasn't paying attention? But for a moment I doubted myself so just to doublecheck I went and checked my purse, it wasn't there, checked my pockets, checked my car inside and out. I know for a fact I gave her the cash. I went back up to the window to complain, she said there was nothing she could do. I felt like it was so shady. So I had to give her another $20. She said that when she counts out the money that the cameras can see her. I figured I would call back when a manager was in. As I was leaving the store I realize the manager was possibly there, I didn't have time to argue because I had to be on the road to come up to Orange County. When I called I spoke to a manager named Travis. He said that he would definitely count the drawer and see if it was over under $20 and he would give me a call back around lunchtime. When I asked about the cameras, he said there was nothing He could do. I asked him why would she have said that she opens in front of the cameras, acting like that wasn't tensional option. He couldn't give me an answer. Well, It is now 7 o'clock, I never got a phone call. When I called back, of course he's not there, and the employee that is now working has no idea what I was calling for. But whoever I spoke to was more than willing to compensate me for $20 in gas. That would have been NICE considering I'm now in Orange County and just want my money back. I called today, June 20, after not hearing anything back from Travis. Sure enough, travis answer the phone. And acted like he didn't remember who I was, until I could jog his memory. He told me that there was nothing he could do, that his drawer was actually $25 short, and that he has a bunch of new employees to work with. He doesn't know if they're goofing up or something else is going on, but that their drawers been short lately? I don't know why he would feel the need to share all that information with me, but it just shows the lack of unprofessionalism these people have. I'm not sure if Travis is being shady, Emma is being shady, or if more of the employees are being shady. I've sent an email to corporate. I just want my money back. Never coming back here again. read more

United Oil - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Well the gas is cheaper here than most places but person that sits in the booth is extremely rude and condescending. Whoever owns this gas station should make random visits because his employee needs a lesson in manners read more

Dirty but great gas prices! The pumps pump fast which is always nice to get out as quickly as possible. They have a snack bar type thing but no mini market. Not that I needed one. I was int he area and Gas Buddy had them priced well. I think they were the lowest in the area. read more

I give this station 4.5 stars as it not only has cheap gas, but it has anchored a corner in the heart of Clairemont (Clairemont Mesa x Clairemont Dr) and made it attractive. There was a 76 station there for years that was always about 20 cents more than anything else around. As a result the Clairemont cheapskate bargain shoppers would not go there unless they were literally running out of gas. So there would be about 4 people a day that would use the station. Then Limited Oil, which obviously goes by United oil, as Limited wasn't generic enough, bought the place and turned it into an beautiful station, along with brimming pots with flowers and vines. They planted trees and gave the place a face lift. Then their brilliant business plan clicked for us, the card carrying cheap stakes, started coming back as they are 12 cents cheaper than any other mid range station in Clairemont. I buy all my gas there. Make sure you bring cash as credit is 4-6 cents more....Cheap cigs there too, but why would you want to pay for cancer. No drinks or candy. But just friendly immigrants happy to take your money for pump # 6.....Rarely do you have to wait for a spot as there are 4 rows and 10 pumps......ATM on premises. read more

No no no do not go here I went here and the Tenant came out and yelled at me for using a pump that was in service was not marked out of service I don't know how a business can expect to treat their customers like this and still do business I think they're still in business in spite of themselves. read more

Just echoing other reviews.....The CHEAPEST gas in Clairemont, maybe in the whole city. They usually beat Costco, so if you live nearby, check your YP app(or whatever you use) before filling up anywhere else. I quit cigs two months ago, but the prices on those are rock bottom as well. Bring cash for the best price on gas! read more

I'm appreciative of this gas station being one of the lowest-price gas stations within a 10-mile radius, but I expected that this gas station would be available 24/7 as advertised. It seems that there are times, at shift changes, where the pumps are shut off. It was midnight and I was tired. We had cars at all the pump stations, and the previous shift worker was still inside the cashier's booth and wouldn't turn on the pumps. I'm not sure if it was because of policy or not, but this is just a forewarning to those who would be caught in similar situations to just be careful; if you can wait, then wait, if not, then it's going to be really hard to find another gas station that would actually be open at that time. read more

The gas is cheap but 50% of the time I try and stop there the lady working is on her "break" smoking watching people pull up and leave because there is no one attending the window. She's rude and doesn't do her job well nuff said! Worst service I've ever had! read more

Terrible employee. Would be nice if the late night attendant would get off her/his phone and do their job.

This gas station has consistently offered lower gas prices than most gas stations in the area. Too bad the clusters of automobiles, struggling to get an available pump, remain just as consistent. read more

Plus: Only one. Inexpensive gas. usually within a few cents per gallon of Costco. Minuses: Several. Middle of the day is nuts - too many cars trying to maneuver into the pumps. Go early in the a.m. or late at night. Also, if you want the cheapest price (using ATM), you have to understand the setup is rigged against you. You have to swipe your card AFTER you press the little button that says debit. Otherwise it assumes Credit card price and there is nothing you can do except cancel the sale and start over. Furthermore, the three flavors of gasoline are arranged from highest price to lowest (left to right) so it would be easy to pick up the wrong nozzle and end up paying many cents more per gallon. About 1/3 of the time, the receipt printers don't work at the pump. You have to go the attendant and have them print one out for you. Except this a.m., I ended up waiting at least five minutes during a shift change. They put a sign up "SHIFT CHANGE IN PROGRESS - PLEASE WAIT". And they won't look at you, completely ignore you while the line grows and grows. read more

The prices for gas are almoat always cheaper. My chief complaint in when they go on break they post a hand written " back in ten minutes.They don't say when they left for the break, then you wait the ten minutes and they're gone for another 5-10 after you've already waited the posted "back in ten" read more

Owner is rude...has turned off pump in me multiple times because they want to leave 15 minutes before close...will take my business else where...suck to be them I commute over 500 miles a week. read more

Not bad, the pumps aren't really fast but they usually have the lowest prices in the area. No convenience store, just a shack

Best gas prices in San Diego. Convenient and easy.

This place is always a clusterf*ck. If you try to come here from 12-6pm, good luck. Grab a snickers. Other than that, the gas is consistently the cheapest in the area. read more

Yes this gas station is conveniently located on a corner however there's always a traffic jam getting in and out. Recently their credit card machine was down so the transaction was cash only. Of course there were no signs indicating this which would have saved allot of time for those of us who did not have cash. Waited 15 minutes to get to a pump, insert my credit card, says see cashier and only then did I see a sign saying cash only on the window. Considering it was a busy time of day people getting off work, it would have been nice if there was a sign stating cash only so you didn't have to wait for a pump to open only to pull up, stop your engine, get out of the car just to be disappointed you wasted so much time for nothing. read more

I have been a loyal customer for years. Most employees are very polite and kind. Ricky however was flat out rude! The woman in front of me paid for gas, and asked him a question. He completely ignored her. When i asked for some smokes, he yelled at me , "What else do you want!" I was almost tempted to cancel my gas order.Let's hope he was just having a bad day? I refuse to patronize a place where I'm yelled at by hostile employees. read more

ATM is blocking pump #7 and people get pist at you when you park next to it. Who ever put it there needs to move it.

Consistently cheapest gas around. No fee to use ATM card, you just have to remember to push the marked ATM/Debit button first. Always the cleanest, nicest looking station around. Sometimes there are lines, but that is to be expected at their prices. Just time your visits, or be patient. Thank you owners for a great looking station, with great prices. read more
