    The guy who picked up the phone was helpful as well as the staff (all Masked ) who worked here. I needed air for my tires - RV big tires . They has a self service high pressure pump here. The clerk came with me to the back and helped - showed me where the pump was. This was great service .2000 psi

    Their bathrooms are disgusting. The car wash is too short. They have those horrible little television commercial screens in the pump, which make me want to take a pick axe to them!

    The excitement that I have for this place - I'm so speechless! They have a Surf City!!! Zomg. I haven't had a pineapple smoothie in years! And dammit when I found out SC was there I bought me a large pineapple smoothie and enjoyed it too! I'm not too sure about Blimpie's. I typically stay away from Gas Station food, including chain fast foods that are attached. Sometimes when I'm on an errand to run to our off campus lab, I stop here and grab myself a small smoothie! But shh don't tell no one!

    Looks brand new almost and very clean and quiet. Each time I've been there it was never very busy. Gas station, convenience store/truck stop, Blimpe's, Burger King, and car wash. Parking for big rigs. Staff are all friend. Many are bi-lingual.

    I forgot to post this review last week as I was headed back to Red Bluff from the Bay Area. I…read moreneeded gas and usually I'd stop at the Costco gas station cause of the cheapest prices, but no way I wanna wait in long lines in the middle of the day. Fast on and off the 80 freeway is what I needed. Plus Chevron always has a nice little store, clean restrooms and mostly has what Costco gas lacks, windshield cleaning supplies and squeegees. Windshield is a mess after leaving it parked for almost a week while I went on field location work sites. Just pulled off at the 505 freeway exit and took the first exit instead of going on to the 505. You can see the Chevron station right there. Pulled in and used the credit card no prob. The card readers work perfect, none of this multiple tries like some of those cheaper off brand sketch stations. There's even a car wash here if you need that. Pop Eye's fried chicken is next door if fried chicken is what you need! Gas pump work perfect and no spilled gas. I got my windshield all cleaned, wow that makes a difference! OK, I'm outta here and back onto the 505 headed north. Prices aren't the cheapest, but worth it for the nicer station and full service store. Yeah, I got some Coke and Funyons for the road!

    Didn't like b20 diesel, tap credit card didn't work and receipt didn't print at the pump. Inside…read morewas clean - the store - and person at cashier was friendly. I often drive to Elk Grove/ Laguna West and sometimes stop here for gas. Usually its ok but this last visit was a little worse than normal - I think because I was in my CDI Mercedes diesel. They serve b20 here - and for those that don't know what that means - its a bio diesel blend that is 20% bio - that stuff is usually very very cheap - and the fuel here was $1 more expensive than a diesel #2 spot that was just 20 miles further down the road. Believe it or not I don't drive my CDI all that much... maybe 1000 or 2000 miles a year - I just have more interesting cars to drive. I love my CDI and it gets 45 miles per gallon and in style and comfort - but usually it just sits in the driveway. Because of that I really have concern for the type of fuel that sits for a year at a time - I as I can get nearly 1000 miles out of a tank - that means my fuel sits for a year before I refuel. Bio tends to grow slime and ruins the fuel system - I don't like that. I suppose the worst part is they charge top dollar for what I believe to be worse quality than diesel #2. Bio does have the benefit of great lubricity - so if you go through your tanks fast and use anti gel in the winter b20 should be fine. I prefer hot shots everyday additive and diesel #2 - trust me I did the research - you might want to look into it yourself.

    This review is mainly for the Tire Center. I can on a Friday to have my new tires installed…read more Process is super easy. I purchased the tires online through Costco Tire Center. They had $80 instant discount on a set of 4 Bridgestone tires which was nice (I hate having to do mail-in rebates). You choose which Costco you want the tires shipped to for installation. After completing the purchase, you are taken to a the schedule screen to schedule the day/time of the installation. You get plenty of emails and text messages regarding the tire delivery and your scheduled appointment. At your scheduled day/time, show up at the tire center, confirm some details and they call you when the installation is complete. They go over their findings on the old tires, such as uneven wear due to lack of consistent rotations, needing alignment, etc. Next to the garage doors outside, they have dedicated parking for people with Tire Center appointments and they have 2 air compressors for people to use if you need to add air to your tires. We walked around while waiting for our tires to be installed. They had discounts and "death stars" on many items to clear out for winter items. Was told it would be about 1 hour to complete the tire installation, but it was done in less than 40 minutes! Great experience with the Costco Tire Center!

    Quality/Quantity - One of the lowest sales tax, both in CA and NV of all the Costcos we shop. I am…read moregoing to add this to my routine... well try to add. Bought a few bags of chips and snacks; see pictures. And saw some amazing discounts on clothes that I chose NOT to buy; see picture. Also, some good beer and liquor options; see pictures. Ambiance - Not busy at all. The gas station is not busy, and the food court is not busy. The warehouse is not busy. Again, why do I not come here more often. Service - Self service. Price - Good values, I rarely check prices. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2002. I know this is one of the first Costcos in the Bay Area! Congrats on all your success since 1976, since Price Club. Now you are the 5th largest retailer in the world and #10 on the Fortune 500. 804 warehouses worldwide, with 558 in the US. 1980 IPO. 1993 Price Club and Costco merger. 1997 Rebrand all locations to Costco. 2020 105.5 million members.
