ATLANTA — WSB is continuing to hear from consumers who said they got contaminated gas at Georgia Costco locations.
Our partners at Channel 2 were in Brookhaven on Monday, where they are hearing from frustrated drivers after reporting on the issue last week .
The head of Georgia’s Fuel and Measures, Doug Killingsworth, has encouraged anyone who thinks they may have received contaminated gas to immediately call his department to come out and test the pump.
Michelle Robinovitz shared her story last week about bad gas she believes came from a Costco gas station in Sandy Springs , causing $700 worth of damage to her car.
Robinovitz’s mechanic even provided video evidence of the contaminated gasoline but Costco’s CEO, Ron Vachris, claimed the damage to her car wasn’t the store’s fault.
Rachel Bernstein reached out after watching Robinovitz’s story. Bernstein’s gas came from the Brookhaven Costco location. Both women were left with $700 mechanic bills to flush out the bad gas.
“When I brought [my car] in, they informed me that they had suspected bad gas. And once they tested it, it was confirmed,” Bernstein explained.
