Reviews of Mammoth Chevron (Car Wash)

India Clamp

Great station with competitive prices and a "Do-It-Yourself" Car Wash. Also lots of enhanced---modified---cars for off-roading and 4 wheel drives for future fun on back-country pumice roads are a special offering at this station. This station is well lighted and safe. On the occasion I went in, the clerk was courteous and smells of lemony pine sol from a freshly mopped floor made a memory. Notice the souped up Yellow Volkswagen Beetle with off-road tires. There is a complimentary window wash vat, squeegees and paper towels. Thanks! Chevron has a well-stocked mini mart and pink geraniums looking happy.

Fortunately the car wash here is absolutely horrible at least the automatic one is. it barely sprays your car and then when it's drying it sprays water on at the same time it's drying and I've been here multiple times

DO NOT PURCHASE DIESEL FUEL HERE. My brand new 2015 diesel SUV broke down in the middle of the highway soon after filling up with fuel from this station. The dealer determined that it was due to contaminated fuel. The fuel was full of water, sediment and algae which created a major vehicle malfunction with a repair estimate of over $15k. The gas station referred me to their insurance company who have been using stall tactics and intimidation techniques. After doing a little bit of research, I have found that I am not the first / only person that this has happened to, even recently. Since then, complaints have been filed with every government agency possible along with the EPA and Chevron Corporate. I have also learned that the Dept of Agriculture and BBB have received multiple complaints about this station. While it might not happen to everyone, it does happen. Might have to do with the timing of when the gas is filled by the tankers or if it has rained recently. Don't risk it and just get your diesel at some other place in town. I shudder to think that I could have been in a nasty car accident if I wasn't able to get onto the shoulder in time. Just don't take the risk. Happy to provide factual documentation on the fuel lab tests, insurance inspector report, dealer report and agency feedback.

I had a problem with my truck in the snow. I took it into the station and was helped by Jose who solved the problem quickly. I expected a $200.00 charge and the bill was 35.00. Thank you so much Jose and the Main St Chevron.

Karl is the perfect person you want to run into when your car starts acting up and your rental company is trying to ignore you. Karl and his team fixed the tire in a matter of minutes, for an extremely reasonable price, and completely took care of charging the rental company for us, it was exactly how those types of scenarios should happen in a perfect world. He’s a great guy who’s been around and knows a thing or two, great conversation.

Jon Blackburn

Great service. Tires are now balanced and everything is smooth riding.

Christopher Ochoa

Pumps are open 24 hours but the station closes during the night.

Jon Torres

The only place that’ll fix a flat tire on a Sunday. They were busy but they got it fixed quickly.

My tire pressure light went on in the car so i pulled in to Chevron to fill up on air. I went inside to ask the young gentleman (didn't get his name but from Venice, CA) to turn on the air and he said it was leaking, so he told me to pull around to the mechanic garage and he'd help me. He filled all my tires and i must say as a 7 month pregnant women i was incredibly appreciative and grateful for his kind and generous service. Thank you - you made my day!

Great gas station for a traveler, good coffee & beer selection, clean bathrooms, and friendly staff

I added about 12 gallons of diesel fuel at this station on June 7, 2015 and drove my truck a half a mile to our campground. The engine would not start the next morning and I had to have the truck towed to a local diesel mechanic. We found that the tank was full of dirty, green water that did not smell or look like diesel gas. The mechanic had to pump the entire tank of gas out and it took several hours to clear the water out of the system and injectors. I was told by the mechanic that the same thing has happened several times before with bad fuel coming from this gas station and that the owner does not admit that his diesel fuel is contaminated. I saved the fuel filter and a sample of the water in case further evidence is needed. WARNING: Do not buy diesel fuel at this station.

The people working here seems like they hate tourists. I ask the old lady if they have air pump for tires and she replied "it's buried in snow, go to the next station across the street". And then went back inside. And then I went to Shell across the street and ask for the air pump and they even help me dig the air pump.

Yesterday my son went there to wash his bike after races and an employee treated him horribly and used foul language saying all the dirt bike riders are socal pussys cause there circuit breakers at the car wash kept blowing out and they would loose the money they put into machine to wash there bikes and they would ask the employees for help. I would never recommend this place to anyone. From now on we will buy fuel somewhere else!!

Sean Sullivan

These guys were awesome. Got me in on time and a 30k service done in a day.

Shane Burke

I've had multiple problems with my car however I took it to Johnny, one of the car mechanics and he has helped me out every time. Honestly one of the few mechanics I can trust. Other than him, all other employees are just alright in my opinion.

Carolyn Feffer

While on a long road trip my car needed some attention because it was making a loud noise. A waiter in Mammoth recommend Karl at Chevron saying he is an honest guy and a good mechanic. It was the only place open on a Sunday and they got us in. Their team did a great job quickly diagnosing the issue and getting the work done. The price was much less than I expected and my car sounds better and I'm ready to continue my drive. Their team was really nice, answered all my questions, and easy to work with. I'm grateful we went in and definitely recommend them!

Michael Abrums

Diesel contained water immediately set off computer warning. Had to go elsewhere to have diesel drained. Owner's son denied responsibility. Complained filed with Mono County!

Kaysie Williams

I have been taking my car here for the past 10 years for servicing and tires. The staff at Mammoth Chevron gets busy, but they are always friendly! I had an issue with a "check engine" light last November that was coming on repeatedly every few days. I would swing by the station and Johnny or Karl would stop what they were doing to quickly hook up my car to read the error code. Once we figured out what it was, Johnny ordered the part and once it arrived he was able to quickly install it without an appointment. And Mammoth Chevron always supports the local sports teams! That really is important for a small town! (Go Huskies!)

Brano Kral

There is only one other full-service shop in Mammoth so these guys have so much work anyway that they don't need to try. And they definitely don't. Avoid this place.

Ross Cameron

I had a "first thing in the morning" 8am appt for a simple oil change. My car sat in the lot until after 9:15 before it made it into the bay. Snow day it was but this is Mammoth and the storm was over hours before they opened and it was well forecasted. The service lady acted as though a foot of snow was a good excuse not to open up over an hour late. Really, it was not that much snow removal for the area. How about a hearty apology and a free coffee?

billy rogers

The guy that runs this place is a jerk. Why he's in a "service" business is beyond me. There is nothing he provides you can't get elsewhere; you should do so.

William Fuller

DO NOT USE DRIVE THROUGH CAR WAS !@ 12 BUCKS..ASKED OENER , " OH FOE 12 BUCKS ITS GREAT" STEAKEDSPENT A HOUR FIXING IT...( DRY )... THATS MESSED UP MAN..

Isabelle Bracco Duthu

I would give 10 stars if I could! I am so grateful for Karl. 2-3 days after I arrived in Mammoth Lakes, my brakes started to act very spongy while I had gotten new front rotors and brake pads 3 weeks before. I was very concerned as brakes issues could be a matter of life and death. I went to 2 autoshops with good reviews. One guy in a bad mood brushed me off and told me to leave my car a few hours just to look at it and without even listening to my car issues. An other place wanted to give me a complete maintenance check before even looking at my brakes! Karl welcomed me as soon as I pulled up and listened to my car concern and fixed the issue within 30min by bleeding my brakes for only $30! Talk about an honest mechanic! I even had the best time waiting for my car getting some hiking tips from Debbie at the cash register. Then, the time to get back to LA arrived and I realized I was low on oil. I went back to Chevron on my way out of town and Karl filled up my oil with a full bottle without charging me a dime saying it was on him and that he was happy I really had great vacation in Mammoth! That's a class act! I am so grateful for the great energy, warm welcoming feeling and great service I got here. Thank you so much Karl!

Took my car to get an o2 sensor fixed. They stalled my car and they weren't able to turn it back on. My car was sitting there for 2 weeks because they "couldn't find the problem." Long story short, they blew a fuse when they stalled my car and they couldn't find it until 2 weeks later. Still charged me for labor. Worst service and they're always in a bad mood. Would give 0/5 if I could.

Todd Mowen

Went here after shell down the street had a line of cars. The pump was slow but overall I did not have to wait so I got out of there quickly which is what I wanted on my way out of town.

Mrs. Tonseth

$5.99 for a dozen eggs...what? $4.99 for a HALF gallon of milk...why? That's more expensive than the highest profiting Vons in nation. Itemized receipt just said grocery...makes things a bit more odd!

Joe Ellett

It's closed for renovations.

Gavin Filarsky

Hey Karl, learn how to talk to people. I’ll never buy gas from you again, let alone have my truck serviced by your shop

Vytas Juskys

You go in for a car repair but you get raped instead.

Justin seleska

It was a Sunday morning and I needed to get my tire fixed after picking up a nail , before I headed back to San Diego. Cezar was very friendly and courteous and got me back on the road in no time

Anonymous Manatee

We arrived with a flat tire at 5:45pm. The repair shop was supposed to be open until 6pm. They closed the shop in our face asking us to return next day. We tried to explain that we were having 3 children in the car and terribly needed the tire fixed, we even offered to pay triple the price but the answers was NO and was delivered with sadistic satisfaction. Stay away from this place, they don’t deserve to be in business!

Madison Walters

Not only once...Not twice...but 3 times have we gotten expired food from this gas station. We told the manager about a Naked juice being 4 MONTHS expired and the only thing he said was to take another one off the shelf, and still he continued to sell the rest of the expired products. We went back after a couple of weeks with a group of people trying to get snacks after a long drive, and EVERY single item that 4 different people bought was expired. Third time we were hesitant to buy anything from there, and for good reason...guess what? EXPIRED! I would recommend NEVER getting any sort of edible items from there without first checking that expiration date.

Launa Strickland

Always great service and the best gas for optimal vehicle performance. Love the cash back rebate on Tuesday's and Wednesday's! :-)

Eric Asato

Tony zip tied and duct taped my damaged undercar shield on a busy Sunday and didn't charge mine a cent. Got home safely thanks to his help. I will buy had there any time I am in town even if it's a few cents more. Worth it.

Michael Allen

I would not go to the station. 1. His prices are high2. They do not honor there own coupons I have a coupon for 20 percent off all chains when I went to the station ., the owner would not honor the coupon. This person is rude and his station should be avoided. 3. There service is dishonest over charging and misrepresenting the repairs and costs.

Blake Matson

Car broke down on the way to Mammoth. Called Chevron to see if they would service the car and they were totally rude and unaccommodating. Don’t waste your time. We went to Figueroa’s Auto Repair just down the road and they got us scheduled for next morning repair.

Dan Manchee

The mechanics are incredibly rude for no apparent reason. Go to the mechanic behind the shell station instead.

T Darling

This is the second time that Chevron (the boss Karl) has bailed me out of a situation. The first was my tire shredded and he had one sent over from Lake Tahoe. Then yesterday he secured my tire flap with zip ties so that I could use my chains. Great place and very helpful guy.

dara murphy

I took my car into Karl, the owner and one of the mechanics today. First off, I am grateful the service department was open on a Sunday as I have a long drive home tomorrow. Karl was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and experienced. The shop was busy but I never felt rushed. In fact, he was generous with his time and thoughts. Karl took the time to listen to my poorly worded description of my car concerns. He was friendly and patient. After a test drive and reviews he determined my car was okay to go. Thank you Karl for keeping me safe and your excellent service. If your in Mammoth and need help with an auto issue, you can’t go wrong stopping by to see Karl and his experienced staff.

Molly Waidner

We drove up to go inside and make a purchase. An employee comes to our window as we pulled up and had a irritated look on his face and said," What do you want?" My husband who was closest to him in the passenger seat, replied " We just wanted to make a purchase, why are you closed at 7:45?.The employee said, 'Yes, I just mopped the floor." Will not go there again.
