Chevron

Disclosure: I have struggled with poverty and homelessness in my early life. That said, just once, I would like to get my gas without someone harassing me for my money. Whether it's the guy who takes it upon himself to clean my windshield without my permission, or the woman who gets irate with me because I won't give her "gas" money, I just want to get my gas and go. The gas station across the street is 10 cents cheaper and doesn't have the parade of crazy going on.

The Quick Stop market serves COLD coffee. When I asked the attendant about the room temperature coffee, he told me to microwave it. The inside of this store is absolutely disgusting. It is also California law that paying customers have access to free air and water but these people didn't get the message.

The one golden ray of sunshine in this craptastic gas station is the Del Taco.

This is Gotham City indeed. Do not come to this station (or Oakland Airport), due to the assembly line crime here...gangs of thieves just hide in cars by gas stations for travelers in a hurry to gas up their rental car on the way to dropping it prior to a flight, knowing they haven't heard about this crime wave, are in a hurry and probably won't bother filling in a police report before leaving for the rental car facility (thereby providing room for the next group of victims to arrive at the pumps). The station attendant noted this sort of robbery now happens every 15 minutes or so.

We had a backpack and computer bag stolen from trunk of rental car on a clear day at 3pm, during the ~5 seconds I had my back to the car swiping a credit card at the pump. All of the luggage was out of sight in the trunk, but the the thieves were apparently waiting to quietly open the trunk and grab the first two bags they saw, jumping into a getaway car and speeding away through the station when I noticed them. Different gang members were able to rob two additional vehicles at this station at the same time. The thieves even drove back by the station several times to see if new victims had arrived while the three of us were comparing notes for the police report. Local residents trying to help brought over purses they saw being thrown into nearby fields, but these belonged to yet more victims.

The rental car company said I should be glad they used the trunk and didn't break out a window, which is frequently done. The rental car shuttle bus had multiple groups who had also been robbed, some people losing their ID and all their luggage, at local gas stations, and were wondering how they would get on a plane without ID.

Avoid Oakland Airport completely.

you probably wont come to yelp before going to a gas station but just in case you see this before. Listen to the other reviews.

Don't come here. Saw a robbery in broad daylight and I actually left . It's Gotham city right now

I had my window broken while I was pumping my gas and my purse was stolen from back seat! Scared the sh** out of me. Thank God I did not have my grandson in the car! I was standing right there! There was a sign saying don't leave valuables in the car. Thank God I didn't have my purse on across my body like I normally do or my throat may have been slit!
DO not get gas in Oakland. Even a crowded well lit gas station isn't safe!

I had just filled my car with gas and returned to the drivers seat when a black sedan pulled up quickly next to the passenger side. A person jumped out of the vehicle stooping down next to my vehicle and tried to enter my car through the passenger side back door. I had locked the door, otherwise they would've gotten in...
I echo the other reviews for this location.... It is dangerous... high risk of robbery and car jacking!

I was robbed at this gas station on July 12. All of the people who work there was of no help and they stated that this was the fourth robbery in three days. The police did not come. It was broad daylight at 3 o'clock. Beware do not get gas at this location.

Avoid this business and the area! Had the back hatch of my rental car opened while filing with gas and my luggage and back pack taken. I will say the store cooperated with police to provide security camera access.

I was robbed on July 30, 2023 at 10:30am at this gas station and lost my purse, phone, cash and credit cards. They snatched my purse off front seat as I got back in car after pumping gas in rental car I was returning. Store told me their customers get robbed 10 times a day and Oakland airport said airport personnel avoid this area. The store employees were no help and appeared to be part of the gang activity. Police do nothing and there is no signs to warn tourists near airport to avoid this Chevron gas station.

I was robbed here about 3 months ago.

Do not get gas at Oakland airport offramp to the Hegenberger Rd Chevron! There are about 20 robberies a day there! Taken from my police report....
I pulled up to get gas before returning the rental car at Oakland airport. Prior to pulling into the gas station, I noticed the outside parking lot was mostly empty, and nobody near me but a parked Ambulance (looked safe). When I was done getting gas, the Ambulance driver came out of nowhere, walked towards my car, then veered off to the front door of the gas station/ market while talking on the cell phone (probably saw my backpack in the passenger seat and told his friends). The pump did not print a receipt, as always (is the gas station in on it?). I started to walk to the door to get my receipt and noticed an unusually long line inside. I turned around with the key fob in my hand to lock the car door, then a car slow down next to my car and opened the passenger side door and took my backpack (about 4 seconds) as I was trying to find the rental car button to lock the door, but it was too late. I then jumped on the hood of his small grey car hoping to cause some damage, then rolled off the car as he moved forward.
I walked inside and asked "Did anyone see that I was robbed?" None of the 6 people with a view of my rental car through the window saw me jumping on the hood of the car. When I walked in, they all were looking at me, like I was another sucker! I believe some of them were in on the scam causing a delay at the register.

I told the Hertz car rental attendant at Oakland airport I was robbed. He asked if I got gas at the Helgenberger Chevron! WOW ....he reads minds! He proceeded to tell me that 4 other people were robbed that same day, and how many other people were victimized that we do not know about from National, Thrifty, Dollar ....? How many were robbed and did not bother to report it? He said some do not not realize they were robbed until after they got gas and opened the trunk at the car rental lot.

The gas station has several cameras. I am sure they would have gotten a license plate if they had one.

911 said there were 124 other cases ahead of me, it might take a while! It would be better to fill out a complaint online.

Later the police informed me that they are not allowed to chase them. About 3 days later the police called me up and found my backpack with my jacket and my Audi car key inside. Apparently they don't want anything with trackers on them so they just steal your phone in your computer for the most part. The officer said they found about 41 other backpacks in a field along with mine.

Welcome to California!
