Exxon

Multiple customers report that Exxon does not provide free air and water unless a receipt for gasoline purchase is shown or a $1.75 fee is paid, despite California law (Business and Professions Code 13651) requiring free compressed air and water with fuel purchases. Signage indicating this requirement is also missing. The station has been reported to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for potential violations.
