I have been going to this station for years, never have I been treated with a snappy attitude. Also, the water and air have always been accessible to regular customers. Maybe someone elses attitude has to be checked before entering the business. I am adamant about being mistreated at a business not to return. I have been going to this station over 20 years, never. A problem. Kudos to the workers!!! Prices are high but I dont blame them, blame Washington DC.
I thought masks were required to enter establishments in Los Angeles County, but apparently this gas station doesnt feel like they need to comply. Go get your gas and refreshments elsewhere where they help to keep everybody safe.
FYI: FREE AIR & WATER STATION RETURNED TO LINGLEY EXTRA MILE CHEVRON IN TORRANCE.The air and water service has long been a potential source of controversy, probably since service stations first opened just over a century ago.Many gas stations have traditionally provided air and water gratis—aka, free, with the understanding that all traffic that stops at a station is a potential sale of some sort. Heck, even if it is at some future date, the utility and goodwill engendered by a business that is happy to offer such basics is repaid upon purchases by that now-loyal customer who remembers and returns the favor, so to speak.Many station owners would agree that owning a service station implies a certain ethical duty to both locals and travelers alike, and carries a responsible role to be played in the community (of automobile owners, at least).All that said, the hassles of offering free air and water can sometimes place undue burdens on a business that is constantly watching, adjusting and barely surviving on tight profit margins. Vandalized equipment has often been a real concern for these small business owners, as various nefarious individuals have regularly targeted the detached, vulnerable and costly equipment for damage and destruction.Hence, in the past, some stations have been forced to tightly regulate and even charge for what used to be free air and water. After extended setbacks and a time when owner Bob Lingley reluctantly was forced to employ a nominal fee (.50 cents) for limited use of the air hose and water hookup for customers.Recently, however, Lingley’s dedication to the highest levels of community and customer service are once again consistent across the board at his Extra Mile in Torrance, Calif. Full, free access during business hours has been returned to the air and water station located at the north end of the station’s property.We have to assume Lingley and his loyal patronage and local constituency are pleased, to say the least.
If you only have 91 fuel, your sign should reflect that. Don’t wait until I use your atm, come to the cash register with an armful of goods, then tell me you don’t have any regular fuel.
The man at the register is always very polite and happy to see you when you arrive. The bathrooms are kept clean and well maintained very surprising that a gas station has the restrooms so well kept.
They charge an extra 35 cents to any purchase under 5 dollars when using a card.... Even if you use debit...I will happily go to the 7 eleevn from now on instead.
The owner of this chevron is so cheap he is charging 10 cents for a plastic bag for shopping in his store. this is no joke. I went in today 8/1/2014 and put up over $35 worth of product on his counter. the cashier rang it up. I handed him a $100 bill and asked me if I wanted a bag. I said yes. he said it will be 10 cents for the bag. I SAID IN A LOUD VOICE ARE YOU KIDDING ME he said no. so I said if I ask you to give me my $100 bill back and cancel this purchase you wont just say you can have the plastic bag. no. the manager / owner was standing right next to him and did not even step in to explain why he was charging 10 cents for a plastic bag. This is what you call bad business practice. I have been shopping there since this chevron opened many years ago. now that that this has happen he will no longer get any of gasoline purchases or any other items from his store/ chevron station. you only lost $15 worth of profit today, but in the long run you will lose thousands of my dollars coming into your store. and I hope many others who read this will do the same. Could I afford the 10 cents for the bag at the time? yes. but what will be next 25 cents to use there window washer or 5 cents for a single paper towel. hell they all ready charge money to fill your tires up. when is it going to stop? if you are having problems with money I could tell you a couple of things you can do to save money. first of all stop printing a logo on your bags. no one gives a dam about a logo. it goes home with us and we put it in the recycle bin. that right there would save you a bundle of money and keep long time customers happy. here is one more thing you can do to save money. stop putting those Brochures you stick in everybodys bag. those must cost a fortune. they are thick paper and in full color. just put them on the counter and if someone wants one then its there for them. 93% of the people dont look at those. and I think I am being generous with 93%. that means you only need to print out 7% of what you printing now. now thats a huge savings. get back to customer service and stop being a tightwad.
Way more expensive than the gas station across the street.
Does not provide free air and water pump, and is super snappy about it.
