I think the cashier is homophobic due to my appearance and refused me service for no good reason. He started asking me questions from my (valid) drivers license and I had all the info right except I was off by 15 pounds for the weight, because my weight has changed since I got the licence. He claimed he had no way to scan IDs and was very rude and told me...

Valero Incorrect charge on my credit card for fuel

Filled my 2919 equinox on Sunday 4/14 at store 2741211. The pump did not print a receipt. I have never had ann issue with any Valero station so I let it go.

The amount was $23 but my credit card is showing $50. Completely empty my car only holds 12 gallons. So you can see this is an incorrect charge.

Claimed loss: $27

Desired outcome: Reverse / delete the $50 charge and credit the correct amount $23 or credit the difference.

Valero Receipts Not Available

11/02/2023

Stripes #2193

5000 Padre Blvd

South Padre Island, Texas

This station never has receipts available at the pumps. If you want a receipt, you must walk inside, wait in line and ask for your receipt. Complete waste of time.

Exxon always had receipts available at the pump. It appears many of your stations lack leadership as it happens quite often.

Is Valero Legit?

Valero earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Valero to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 14% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Valero is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Valero, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Valero. The company provides a physical address, phone number, and 2 emails, as well as 3 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Valero.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Valero.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

We looked up Valero and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Valero has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 14% of 105 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Valero. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Valero Duplicate transaction

Hi, October 10th, 2023 I was trying to get $40 gas and a mikes hard lemonade strawberry pineapple tall can at this Valero. The gas pump was unavailable at pump 1 so I had to go inside to use my debit card. The total was $44.84 and after the purchase, I noticed that I was charged twice at ‘$44.84’! The manager said he doesn’t make mistakes and didn’t refund me! Now I had to go to bank and then now making a claim to get my money back that is rightfully mine! If only the manager credited back the money he accidentally took from me, then I wouldn’t have to stop everything I’m doing to fix his problems. He’s suppose to be manager!

Desired outcome: A refund and accountability on Valero customer service!

I visited the Valero location at the corner of Wickham and Sarno road in Melbourne Florida. The location does not have the proper hose for diesel fuel and there was no cut-off switch. I spilled maybe two gallons of diesel, ruined a pair of expensive shoes. Complained to the owner, we got involved in a heated argument. Anyway, I have always made it a point...

I needed gas for my car, and with a small traffic lane and parking area, I was patient for two cars ahead of me get their fuel, and leave, allowing me to pull forward to fuel up.

September 12, 2023, 1:01-1:07AM After arriving from a late flight, my husband and I arrived to fuel our grey truck with a camper shell on it and the first diesel pump would not work.

At 8:40 p.m. tonight I went to Valero at the corner of Pleasanton and Hutchins to fill up my vehicle with gas but there was nine vagrant people at standing at the entrance begging for money conducting their drug use so me along with several other customers got back in our vehicles and left y'all need to clean that store up and get the homeless people away or you're going to have no customers there they scare the customers away it is very unsafe for customers when there is people taunting them for money.

Desired outcome: Would like y'all to clean up the Riff Raff outside of the store so paying customers could enter the store without vagrant people and bums begging for money and doing drugs outside the door

Valero no receipts at the pump. Clerk has receipt.

I use the Valero gas station at 1650 Wildcat Dr. in Portland, Texas. Just about every time that I fill up I do not get a receipt at the pump. It says "Clerk has receipt". This has happened to me on 12-8-22, 12-14-22, 12-21-22 & 0n 1-7-23. I am so tired of this happening. I have to go inside & wait in the line if I want a receipt. The employees in that Stripes store are too lazy to go put paper in the machines so people can get a receipt at the pump and go on with their day. Someone needs to tell the employees at this Valero to keep paper in the machines. I would think it is part of their job! I have many many years of being a customer of Diamond Shamrock / Valero. I am very disappointed with this Valero gas station on Wildcat Dr. Please have a talk with the employees there. Thank you.

Desired outcome: Would like to be able to get a receipt at the pump each time I fill up.

Valero Bad Gas from Pump

Filled my vehicle with 14.448 gal of gas on the morning of Sept 26th, 2022 from the Valero station located at 1091 Market Pl., San Ramon, CA 94583. After driving halfway to work the vehicle started to experience engine knocking and reduced performance. Scheduled an appointment with my dealer on Oct 4th, 2022 and after inspection the gasoline was determined to be contaminated (bad gas). The repair included removal of the gasoline, and the cleaning of my vehicles fuel tank and system. This resulted in the need to rent a vehicle for the duration of the start of the problem until the repairs were complete adding additional cost. The vehicle was out of service and under repairs from Sept 26th thru Oct 10th 2022.

The total cost is was as follows:

Gasoline: $80.89 = 14.448gal @ $5.599/gal

Rental Car: $670.30

Vehicle Repairs: $1,334.88

Total Cost: $2,086.07

Valero Very rude assistant who cussed me out

I went in the balero on pearl lake rd in wrby ct and the manager or assistant was so rude and nasty. I have a temporary state paper permit and she refused ro take it. That wouldn't be an issue of she didn't have the attitude and mouth of a street bum. She told me she believed I printed thar I'd so we had words and it's OK for me to defend myself. She cussed me out like unbelievable. I did cuss her out vack because k ow one speaks to me this way. She told me I was a whole and ugly. Like who says that. Trust me she's ugly so I told her the same. But she should not be communicating that way to anyone. That would be why there rating all state the same issue. What a joke for a COmpany to let it run that way.

Desired outcome: She needs to be removed immediately because if not that store is guaranteed to have some issue that ends up wrong. Someone needs ro ste0 up and do something

Valero Valero/Circle K Store at Texas Hwy 380/Lakes of LaCima Blvd - Prosper, TX

I am filing a complaint with your store at Hwy 380 / Lakes of Lacima Blvd in Prosper, TX. The store is filthy, with trash cans overflowing. Also, there is trash of all types all over the grounds , front, side, and back.

Please have a local or district manager have this store manager flagged and given a warning, citation, or penalty for having such a trashed property.

I live in the neighborhood behind this store. If this is the way you are handling your store/gas stations, we would rather not have you in our community.

Thank you,

Darrin Hendley

1120 Cedar Springs Dr.

Prosper, TX 75078

Desired outcome: Have the store manager fined for littering in our community. Penalize them or shut them down, or get a different store manager/business owner. Take away their store license.

Valero Bad Gas

My name is Christie Rodgers and I have Valero Card 6494 6296 and I purchased gas from a Local Valero station on July 19th for 32.69. After driving it a short distance to a local grocery store, I stopped, shopped for approx 15 min and went back out to my car (2013 Honda Civic) and it would barely run once started. I got it towed to my regular sevice place, Little Tire, and after several days they could not find out the problem. I had to have it towed from there to the local Honda dealer, who discovered what I thought might be the problem all along, I got contaminated gas from the dealer on Jefferson Davis Hwy in Stafford, VA, 6 miles from my house. The covers were off the pumps but others were using them, so I tried. The pumps were running very slowly, mine and the gentlemen opposite me. Now I have the two tows and a repair bill from Pohanka Honda for $495.00 to have the contaminated gas pumped out and repairs. I saw on their blog that others complained of bad gas also. I am destroying my credit card and will not used Valero again. Please reimburse for my damages.

Desired outcome: I would like a reimbursement of my repairs and the orginal gas I bought but I am sure that will never happen. and that is my point, this should have never happened.
