Whether you're winning or losing make sure to get gas here. Prices are competitive, pumps always work and it's covered! This is perfect when it's raining or extremely hot. My cars require premium and their prices are always the cheapest compared to the three stations within a 5 mile radius. Service from the cashiers are great and their products available for sale are always fresh and not expired. Kudos United Oil for providing gas at good prices and excellent service in the Valley Center Area. Winning starts here. Fill up. Rehydrate. Win!

RINCON TRAVEL PLAZA - I've been a regular customer at this…read morefuel station, but the current pricing policy is frustrating in practice. They no longer provide fuel prices over the phone, which is their choice as a business. The issue is the inconsistency in how it's applied--while exact pricing isn't shared, there are still comparisons made to nearby stations when asked. That creates confusion rather than clarity. In a commodity market like fuel, customers make decisions based on transparency and trust. When pricing information is partially withheld but still indirectly referenced, it doesn't really reduce competitive pressure--it mainly reduces customer confidence. From a customer standpoint, it would be more effective either to: Provide clear, consistent pricing information, or Maintain a strict no-quote policy without partial comparisons The current middle-ground approach feels less like a strategic advantage and more like unnecessary friction for customers who are simply trying to make an informed decision. A clearer policy would likely improve trust and long-term customer loyalty.

I've passed by this gas station a multitude of times and haven't ever needed to make a stop…read more Decided to check it out recently. I wish I had stopped in sooner. Their soup and salad bar is quite a lovely surprise. Perfect for grabbing a healthier lunch on the go. They have ready made sandwiches and Chester's Chicken that I have yet to try. The price is a little high for the salad bar, $10.99/lb, though it's better tasting than some of the salad bars out there. Salad dressing is Ken's, by the way. Soup containers are 3 sizes with smallest at $4.99. I had the Italian Wedding Soup. The food was delicious. I plan to stop in every time I'm in the area.

First time visiting The Pit Stop on our way to Bates Nut farm, it's on the corner of Valley Center…read moreroad. You can't miss it; it's huge! Plenty of parking and gas stalls; it was pretty busy with lots of cars. When I entered the store, it was massive! So many snacks, merch, drinks, beers and liquor for sale. The store is very clean and up-kept. The prices for the hot food were not bad! Very affordable but the snacks were moderately priced. There's a Chester food joint inside of this store as well, I opted for the Chester's bowl. It's just like KFC famous bowl but with better quality ingredients. Customer service at Chester's was great but slow; they paid attention to details. The pit stop hot food included soups, hot dogs etc. I had the hot dog, it was a little on the overcooked side and their bun was very dry; even though it was individually packaged. I wouldn't go back for their hot dogs. Customer service on the store side was fast; not much interaction but it was fast lol. Would def visit again in the future for gas, drinks and snacks.

Do not come in without a mask. No you can not have refills on anything. No you can not use the bathroom. They are extremely over cautious! You can not use credit, it has to be cash or debt. Be careful leaving if you are driving over the circle metal gas lids on ground when leaving. Your car will rock like an earthquake. It hit the bottom of our car. Can you imagine what people will think reading this years from now?

1 star for the tire pressure machine alone, which is either down when I try to use it or requires…read moreme to constantly have it turned back on (does not last very long, certainly not enough time for 4 tires). Staff requires you to have a receipt, fine if you get gas but with the time crunch you have to either find another receipt or ask them to turn it back on. I had to ask 3 times honestly. I've brought an electric car here for the air machine and had to pay as I was not getting gas. Turning into this station is not easy as there are always a lot of semi trucks trucks parked here. Additionally the gas station is debit only which makes no sense. Inside the AMPM it smells like the definition of one, filled with junk food and low quality drinks that are overpriced.

Lourdes is a Mexican restaurant with really good Chicken Soup. It's not usually crowded to get gas and they offer a small discount on the gas if you get your car washed. I like to get my car fully washed inside and out, grab Lourdes while I'm waiting to eat in their seating area (they have indoor and outdoor seating), then fill up my gas and get a little cash back on the gas. The cashiers have always been friendly.

I do not recommend this gas station. The employee is located in a closed, safe space (which is…read morewonderful for them), but where you pay is located OUTSIDE of the employee's safe box. This also means it is much easier for evil people to put cars skimmers on their device. I will never go here again.

I normally wouldn't get gas any where else other than Costco, but since my relative insisted to buy…read moreme some gas here, I can see their prices were much higher, even higher than some of their own locations near the freeway exit of Rancho Parkway, as they located deeper inside the path going to Valley View Casino, they were the only one and maybe the first gas station you would hit on your way back besides the gas station owned by the casino. They were 30 cents more for each tier compared to their Shell locations by the freeway exit. So maybe it would be wise to wait when you get there to save a little bit of money for your wallet since gas is not cheap anymore, really, $30 to buy gas at this pump, your gas didn't even last for another day because your meter didn't go up very much
