Right beside freeway 85 De Anza Blvd. exit Great gasoline prices all the time compare to everywhere else Cash price is cheaper than credit card, but better to use credit card as you get more back if there is 3% cash back for gasoline charges read more

Valero - Valero with car wash - Gas Stations Near Me - Cupertino, California

Good gas prices on a convenient corner. (But since the 76 across the street changed to "Diamond Gas" that place is now the cheapest gas in town!) But this Valero has a good little snack store, motor oil, etc; classical music at the pumps (very calming) a good, fast car wash machine and also propane - but only go here if your personal tank is EMPTY - they have a $20.74 minimum charge! Easier to do a Blue Rhino exchange at Ace Hardware. But this station is a great place to have in the neighborhood so I support it. read more

Very rude staff! Cheap gas prices and cheap carwash for a reason. Stay away, save your money and go somewhere else. There is another Valero just a mile away, on the same road. I bet they are nicer! read more

Worst gas station there's never a store attendant at the counter this is fifth time in a row i am noticing this,worst place to pick up a coffee or some snacks or saving few dollars on gas it took more than 25 mins and not even a apology for making me wait that long read more

I used the driveway car wash and came out with a crack and a few chips on my windshield. My best guess it has to do with the amount of pressure it put on the glass. I would definitely not recommend it and would be careful from it. Better to spend a few extra bucks for quality care. read more

3 gas stations at one intersection...which one do you pick? I picked this one since it was 20 cents cheaper than Shell and 10 cents cheaper than 76. read more

I bought gas this morning on Pump #6 and the pump sold me car wash without my ordering it. The shop was closed at that time so I went back at about 2 PM and a badly toothed white man refused to refund me my $7.99 for the car wash that I neither wanted nor asked for. Avoid these creeps at all costs. There are two other pumps at the same crossing that have no car wash and thus are not going to defraud you with car wash at least. read more

A-OK. Decent prices and effective drive through car wash.

I had very unpleasant experience coming here. The attendant was very rude for no apparent reason. I asked him what his problem is, and he said that he is short on change.. and I am doing wrong by not giving exact (or look for exact change), instead paid with $20 bill. read more

DISHONESTY... Stopped to fill up propane in an RV. Only needed 2gal... Totally my bad for not checking first, but seems that the attendant took me for a ride... $24 for 2gal! Would have hoped people would have more decency! Well it all circles back... maybe this review will discourage folks from buying propane here... at least $24 worth of business! read more

DON'T GO THERE! This place received an average of 2.5 stars for a reason!!! I went there with my 1997 Toyota Camry. Got charged $60 and failed because the air intake hose had a crack. The mechanic said I could bring it back after the hose was replaced. So I ordered a replacement part online and installed it with no problem. When I went back the mechanic insisted on seeing the old part and confirming it has the same original manufacturer part number. I went back the second day with the old part and explained to him that the part has been revisioned twice so the part number is not exactly the same. He called the dealership and got the latest part number and insisted that I have to put in a part that has exactly the same new part number or go to a junk yard and get an old part with the same old part number. After arguing with this bureaucrat for another 5 min, I realized if I want a new part I would have to go to a dealer and spend $150. So, I left. I don't think he has any intention to rerun the test for me for free. He was just trying to get rid of me by making it difficult. I went to another smog check place that had a great review in yelp. The new place saw the "failed" record in the system, asked me what was the problem and I explained the situation. The mechanic said even after-market parts are fine, let alone that the part I put in was a manufacturer interchangeable part. I spent $45 (including certificate) and was done in 20 min. I only wish that I had done my homework on yelp before I went to Valero in the fist place. I did after the first bad experience and what a "night and day" difference in return! Yelp rocks!! If you are here because you want to save money or have a good experience, DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE! Oh, don't be fooled by their coupon. Other places have the same deal everyday, with no hidden charge. You can find them here on yelp. read more

Worst in the business. The guy asked for 25 dollars more just because my car needs "star-test" (quoted 75) I took it to another smog test place in Campbell where the owner said it's the same test star or not. He charged 50. read more

This gas station is very dishonest the way they are doing their business. I went there to fill up my small bbq propane gas tank. While the attendant was filling up my tank, I saw the sign posted $3.95/gal. When he was done, I checked the meter and it showed 1 gallon for my tank. Then when I went in with him to the cashier to pay, he asked me for $21.95. I was pretty surprise so I ask him why the sign show $3.95/gal? He said "for a normal 4 gallon tank, it is everywhere $21.95". I replied on him that I was buying only 1 gallon and he could not charge me full price. This dishonest attendant quickly change his price, he said "Ok, I give you discount, $10 dollar". I tried to be calm, and told him I only pay for what I was buying, and it was only one gallon, $3.95. The guy kept insisting on $10, and he was being creative this time adding in "it is minimum charge". I told him that there was no sign anywhere showing that minimum charge was $10. I refused to pay $10 that he was asking, and told him to take his propane back, I was not buying it any more. Don't buy anything here unless you want to be ripped off by this dishonest business. read more

Why spend $80 for a smog check here, when you can take it down the street to Cupertino Smog & Auto Repair @ 10625 N. DeAnza Blvd. in Cupertino and have it done for $59.95? read more

Avoid. Went here for a smog check Endup in yelling match with some 18 y/o triad wannabe smog tech over the price How can it come out to $70 when your coupon says $29.99? Dude can't explain the math, gets pissy. Get manager "Adam" on the phone. Have hidden charges broken down again in broken English. Little mad smog guy refuses my service ;_; For what it's worth he smogged me a couple days later at his covienience. The punk took about 45 minutes. O_o Then he asked if I would call this mysterious Adam fella and tell him it wasn't him, it was me getting salty. I said sure and split with my smogged car less almost $100. Next time I'll use those Asian mechs off hwy 87. They're cheaper and not corporate. Friendly too. lol at 45 minutes... also, ENGLISH MOTHERFCUKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?! read more

I came here for a smog check since it's the closest Smog Test Only station in my area. I didn't exchange much words with the Vietnamese technician, he kind of just shoved the clipboard I needed to fill out and went back to work. Took about forty minutes with another car in front of me and I was on my way, no wasted time. You also pay at the end of the test, I had a coupon so it was a $50 total compared to the usual $70. Mandatory Smog Checks for the lose, I HATE YOU DMV! The station itself is pretty well kept, not some run down ghetto looking car shop that has you questioning work ethics. It should be noted that there are plenty of restaurants in the nearby area to keep you occupied while waiting. I guess if you enjoy inhaling fumes at the gas station, you can also choose to chill on the sofa and drink their free coffee and munch on the provided popcorn instead, hella random. Gas here is CHEAP. read more

If I need to get ass-reamed by the price of gas, it might as well be here with relaxing classical music while-you-pump, and Vikhar...a truly nice guy. PS: Now called Vikhar's instead of Valero.... after Vikhar I imagine. I like the new name. The old name sounded too much like that dumb song sung by Dean Martin and later, the Gipsy Kings...Volare. read more

The gas station is fine - it's gas, I get it myself so there's never any problems there unless I'm incompetent. This is a review purely for the person who was manning the quick mart sunday afternoon. I was in a hurry the other day and selected to get a car wash but couldn't get it the same time I got my gas so I came back 3 hours later to do so but the code on the bottom was cut off of the initial receipt, which isn't a big deal...so I just went in to let them know that happened and for me to receive a reprint, when I told him my pump number and that I was here 3 hours ago but was unable to get my car wash then... he literally - ROLLED HIS EYES & SIGHED AT ME...like what?? so rude...the one time I decide to come here so much attitude read more

Worst customer service.. mechanic was so rude i left. He was basically barking at everyone who was there to get a smog check and charges $80.00. Not sure why the asian lady behind me got charged a few dollars less than me. But I will never go back there again. read more

Smog check review: Would not use this place again. Most unpleasant experience with the rudest smog check mechanic. Would not accept coupon on phone (which is ok), but I wasn't even complaining that I had to go home to print out the coupon, the mechanic started screaming that everyone is wasting his precious time. Just plain rude and uncivilized. read more

i frequent this valero a lot since it's the closest by my house and with gas prices being so steep, this is the cheapest gas in the area. although sometimes the 76 across the street is the same price (with credit card). had to do a smog test, and got a coupon for a $30 smog check at this valero station. pulled up on a saturday afternoon, and the guy said itd be about 30 minutes. i asked if i could come back in a couple of hours, and he was fine with that. came back exactly 2 hours later, and my car was parked in the back, and i got a $50 bill. $10 extra for a smog test, not check, and the certificate to the dmv. quick and painless, and comparative prices to other places. read more

I was on the way to Fremont Older and stop there for gas. I can believe they have the cheapest gas in Saratoga and maybe Bay Area. It was $4.09 for cash and even the one along Lawrence in Sunnyvale is $4.19 during that week. read more

Valero - $8, $6 or $5 car wash goes way too slow!!!! - Gas Stations Near Me - Cupertino, California

Smog service "technician" was very rude and would not pass my car because it had an aftermarket intake (even though it was California legal and I provided him with the compliance code and manufacturer documentation). His name was Binh Cam and It turned into a yelling match with him screaming that he wouldn't smog the car. Came here to use a coupon but am now out the money because their technician is horrible and doesn't know how to do his job. read more

Overpriced and rude. Waited an hour for no apparent reason. Both smog check guy and cashier were rude and made it clear my husband was bothering them by 1) requesting a smog check, and 2) trying to pay. read more

May 2009 -I pull up to the pump in my Honda Civic. Gas station attendant: Um, your gas tank is on the other side. Me: Oh, yea, I haven't driven my car in four months. Gas station attendant: What happened to you!? Me: I've been living in SF. I haven't gotten gas in a long time. It was a bit embarrassing that I didn't know which side of my car my tank was on. But the Valero station was the cheapest one on De Anza so it was a winner for me. read more

This place is always the cheapest for gas.. and they sell Icee's now! I stopped inside the other night to see if they carry 5-hour-energy and, not only do they have it, they have orange :) The Shell across the street only has berry :C The guy at the register was very friendly and upbeat, completely unlike most gas station attendants. That experience, plus free time, is what makes a gas station worth reviewing! :D read more

After the fires left ash on my car I had to get it washed. Stopped by this gas station and used the drive they car wash. It did a nice job!

Fast professional smog check with match of competitor price across street. Said it would take one hour. Went for lunch. 30 minutes later it was done. A+ read more

My mistake! Brought my propane take in and told them I was not sure if it's full or not. It was full so I was charged $10.90 for 6/10th of a gallon of propane. Glad I didn't have 1 gallon of top off propane which would have been a minimum charge of $22.60 with sales tax. Ok, there must be a better way to know if your propane tank is full or not. read more

The actual tech who did the smog on our car was great. I lucked out and when I arrived there was no one in front of me. I was out in no time. The issue was the cost, and dealing with the station owner, or whoever it was behind the cash register.. I forgot the $49.95 coupon which is online and as a result I was charged $78. I asked for the coupon price but my request was ignored. When I asked again, I was told that the cost of $78 was because I have an old car (99 Explorer), yet the previous day, at another location I paid $49.00 for my 98 Mustang Cobra. Make sure you have your coupon if you use this facility. I have used them in the past, but, I doubt I will again. read more

Just wanted to take couple mins. to thank Smog Tech at Vikhar Valero. I'm an out of area Tow Driver / Operator. Just had my 2000 Honda Accord serviced where I live by Main Auto Manteca Ca. Car was ready to smog & Reg. however even after servicing. The Chk. Eng. Light was still coming on intermittently. Bottom line. Smog Tech was very patient w/me. Plugging in my car multiple times to see if code cleared. Finally on 6th day of coming & going. I took my mechanics advice & ran through for smog. Yes it passed. MY ONLY CONCERN. The Smog Tech after like 3rd day had made a ridiculous cash offer on my car. I'm pretty sure he knew the code was a misc. misfire & he knew he could make a huge profit. The car isn't for sale Thank You. Despite his one attempt to purchase my car. I believe he went above & beyond to accommodate me, my needs & desires to not proceed w/test unless I knew it would pass. THANK YOU Vikhar Valero. Price about $25 less than local competitors. The tech did go out of his way. Sorry I took small offense to buy my car because it was obviously a very small fix. read more

I used to come here for the gas, but today, I had the most unpleasant experience at this station. They are cheating at the pump. I stopped my Accord at pump #2, my car's gas gauge was little bit over the half of a tank. I used 87 grade gas, which was priced at $3.099 per gallon. When the pump stopped, the gas pump gauge reading 5.671 gallons had been pumped, then to my surprise I was charged $29.97 on my credit card which was more than $5 per gallon. I went to the inside gas station and told him that the pump had problem and asked him to take a look. He refused to go out to check the pump. He printed out the receipt hand over to me, said, the credit card charge was correct and that was the pump gauge problem. I can't believe this. Then I asked where is the manager. He said manager was not here. I would definitely not recommend this gas station. read more

After my "where in the hell is there a smog only place" ordeal, I finally got "smogged" at Valero in the good old CPT. The smog man took his sweet time smoking his cigarette when I ever so nicely expressed that I was in a hurry. He must have just had a satisfied customer ;) I waited in a garage which made me think of some drug lab. I'm itchy!! All in all the service was fine, my coworkers car passed the smog test, and I was down $70. I'll give this review and extra star only because the smog man has to use a porta john as his toilet.... poor guy, icky. The conclusion to this fiasco? I hate you DMV and I don't even own a car. read more

This smog station used to be good, but not anymore. I recommend that no one goes there for a smog check. I dropped off 2 cars there, was told it would be done in 2 hours. I thought that was somewhat reasonable, given how there was a wait already. 2 hours have gone by, I haven't gotten a call. I call them, and they tell me they need an hour more. I told I couldn't wait that long, so they said give them 45 minutes. 1 more hour (total elapsed time: 3 hours) has gone by, I still haven't heard from the shop. I call them again, and they tell me that there's something wrong with their system. They'll need another hour before they can finish. Well, okay, irritating, but plausible. The right thing to do would be to call me and let me know that. They didn't give me any updates, so I told them I'll be picking up my cars. I get there, and see a Jaguar getting tested. Well, this car sure wasn't here when I arrived 3 f*#king hours ago. How did they test this car if there was something wrong with their system? It's one thing to have issues with your system, and it's another thing entirely to lie to your clients. read more

I got my smog check here with free good coffee & free car wash. $50 including cert n everything. Very quick job done. Recommended

This review is just for the smog check. Going in, the smog guy was extremely rude. Without answering any of the questions I asked(it was my first time doing the smog check) he ignored everything and shoved me a clipboard. After waiting an hour and a half he tells me I didn't pass, but refused to tell me why. I really don't get why he couldn't just tell me why I failed. I drove somewhere else on Saratoga ave. And got another smog test done there, for about 28$ as compared to valero at 60$. And I passed. Something is seriously wrong with valero smog testing. read more

Smog check service review: extremely unpleasant service, the mechanic ended up swearing at us and using the F word. Very hard to understand, and most horrible customer service skills. Never coming back here again. (De Anza and Prospect Valero) read more

I have used this place several times in the past for smog test only with no problems. Today though a "new" technician being a bit rude & aloof, tells me that there is an additional surcharge/fee of $20 for my car year being a '91 & the total cost would be $80. Not being comfortable with this higher fee & also because of the reason given "that my car is a '91", I leave and go to another test facility. I request a quote for their fees & I'm quoted a total of $60. I ask, is there any additional fees for my car being a '91? He says no. I'm pretty sure that the extra $20 surcharge was because I lived in Saratoga. read more
