Texaco — Local services in San Jose

545 west alma avenue san jose ca 95125. 8:45 pm. incident. my girl friend and i have been coming to this gas station for the last 6-8 months. for gas, monsters, (4 at a time) and smokes. today is 12/16/14. its raining heavy in san jose. i stop by my local oriely auto parts store to pick up some rain-x i meet my girl at this arco. to dry and apply the rain-x. we meet at aprox 8:35pm at appoximately 8:45 the teller an OLD MAN wearing a RED TURBIN comes out to tell us that we are in the way. i look around ther is one van that just pulled up. and several empty pumps. in fact besides the van, my girl and i the station is empty! ??? cofused by what this man was saying i asked him what he meant. he told us we need to leave and leave now. i ignor this man as it is a curtesy tht should be extended to any one to clean there windows and what ever other needs they have. such as checking oil. and airing tires. my girl friend and i are EXTREMELY OFFENDED. rain-x needs to be applied to a warn dry window. i was working on the windows while they where still warm from the drive. then i was going to buy my usual 4 monsters for me and her. a pack of camels and fill up both cars. i chose to leave after instead. since he shut the lights off over our pumps. needless to say i will never go back to this arco again.(IN FACT IM DONE WITH ALL ARCO GAS. as a mechanic i know how bad arco is for cars. and its not worth it. do the math. if you have a 10 gal tank and you save 10 cents per gal. at most you save 1$. this is the motivation i needed to get off my lazy convenient route and take my self to shell or chevron.. enough is enough gas station attendants like this. will not be tolerated. ARCO YOU NEED TO DO...

The station is no longer an Arco and hasn't been for some time. In fact, it's gone downhill since becoming G&M.

The best thing I can say about this gas station is that has inexpensive gas, which makes it busy a lot of the time. Which makes it busy a lot of the time the problem with this is at any given time there is two or three pumps that are out of service for one reason or another. The ownership does not seem too enthusiastic about getting them fixed in a timely manner.

Edit: updated from three to four stars now that this station is a Texaco. The prices have gone up a bit, but all the pumps are in working order. The bonus here is you can use your Safeway rewards for up to $0.20 off per gallon. Honestly the only reason the station doesn't get 5 stars at this point is due to the narrow lanes and not especially...

Usually I would rate this place a 3 or 4 because they are USUSALLY reliable. But things have been changing quickly and for the worse.

Their credit/debit readers have been working less and less, and today the cashier was rude and unhelpful overall.

I noticed i never got my change back on my card after getting gas so I went back to ask the guy for my change. Instead of listening to me and answering my questions, the guy kept interrupting me, talking over me, acting condescendingly, and just being an overall a-hole.

The way he wouldn't let me ask questions makes me think this is some kind of scam.

Not to mention, the guy got super close to me without wearing a mask. It made me SOOOOO...
