HelperGuy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Someone on this board recommended Los Altos when I got shorted a few weeks back... today I called them and got no answer. So I tried Tomza, and whaddayaknow if the Los Altos truck didn't turn up instead. I checked after and found both have the same cell phone number. They arrived in a bit over 30 minutes (this is around 4PM). Long story short: last time Gas Zaragoza gave me 13% in my tank for $500p; today Los Altos gave me 25%, which is about 3 to 5% more than I've gotten from anybody in over a year. I did tell them I wanted to watch their gauges, due to my recent troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I had a worker check my gas tank to see the level & had Tomza come the next day & they said my tank was much less than what it actually had. So far, I've had honesty from Los Altos but it can depend on the guys in the truck. Is there a way to get the gauge moved to eye level? I'm not up to climbing onto my roof.

ajijicbound Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Gas Zaragoza has Tomza on the side of their truck but I don't think they are affiliated with Tomza. Not sure, just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I guess I have always wondered why anyone would ever allow a tank to be placed on the roof unless there was a simple way to reach same. Living on the edge of Ajijic where the land is cheaper and therefore the amount of land per house is more, the houses I've lived in have had tanks at ground level and therefore the meters easily readable, something that is sometimes necessary to keep from being overcharged. One time my 300 liter tank was 15% full and I wanted it filled to about 85%, which would have been about 210 liters (70% times 300 liters). My bill was for almost 350 liters which was even more than the capacity of the tank, were it totally empty. What the gas man didn’t know was that in the background was my Architect and his construction boss, both of whom witnessed everything and knew how large the tank was. To make a long story short, I was more than compensated. Remember, we are targets for those who are dishonest. Be careful and check things out. Read your meter, or if you can’t get your gardener Etc. to do so. I like the local gas company across from El Torito in Ajijic, called Zeta gas. But that's just because I know the driver and his helper. And they treat me fairly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I didn't "have" it put on the roof. That's the way the house was when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exHawaiian Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Javier at Los Altos is honest and reliable Cel: 33 15 17 89 08. He worked for z gas for something like 30 years, and Los Altos gave him a raise to come over to them. He is a helpful and pleasant man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Tomza and Los Altos are very good in my opinion. Always show up when they say they will. Never been ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you have saved your receipts..each unit of gas is worth X points..take your receipts to office and check your total and gifts available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpychimp Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 How do find out about the points and gifts? First I've heard of it. I've been using Zeta for a couple years, although I'm not a big gas bag consumer. Across from Salvador's Restaurant is a little Zeta Gas office. Go in and see the samples of what is available. Give the lady your name and address or bring in your last receipt and she will tell you how many points you have. The stuff available is pretty low quality for the most part but if you don't want it you can always get things as gifts for your maid or gardener.

Floradude Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Also, Zeta gas has a larger store in Chapala with more items available for your points. It is on the left side coming into Chapala as you approach the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joco69 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have used Tomza for many years, never any problem. They always get a small tip and a larger one before christmas, never wait more than 30 minutes for service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
