Petro-Canada is one of Canada’s largest fuel retail and convenience store networks, operating thousands of service stations nationwide. They provide gasoline and diesel for passenger vehicles and commercial fleets, as well as additional services such as car washes, propane, and convenience stores selling snacks, beverages, basic groceries, lottery tickets, and automotive supplies. Many locations also offer loyalty rewards through the Petro‑Points program.
A charge labeled “PETRO-CANADA 00935 NORTH YORK ON” on your card statement typically corresponds to a fuel purchase, car wash, or in-store items at Petro-Canada station #00935 located in or near North York, Ontario. This could be from pay-at-the-pump transactions, in-store card payments, or sometimes a preauthorization hold when you insert your card at the pump. The final posted amount may differ from the initial hold once the actual purchase total is known.
If you don’t recognize this charge, first check recent fuel stops and receipts around the transaction date, and confirm whether anyone else with access to your card used it to buy fuel. You can also log into your online banking to see the exact time and amount, which may jog your memory. For further clarification, contact Petro-Canada’s customer service or the specific station (using the station number if possible), and if you suspect fraud, promptly notify your card issuer to dispute the charge or block the card.

Why do I see a higher pending charge from Petro-Canada than the amount of fuel I bought?
When you pay at the pump, Petro-Canada (like many gas stations) may place a temporary preauthorization hold for a set amount (for example, $100) to ensure sufficient funds are available. Once the transaction is completed, the hold is released and replaced by the actual purchase total, usually within a few business days depending on your bank.
What types of purchases can result in a Petro-Canada charge on my card?
Charges can come from fuel purchased at the pump or inside the store, car washes, convenience store items, propane refills, or other services offered at a Petro-Canada station. The descriptor may include the station number and city, such as “00935 NORTH YORK ON.”
How can I confirm which Petro-Canada station location charged my card?
The descriptor usually includes a station or site number and the city or area (e.g., “00935 NORTH YORK ON”). You can contact Petro-Canada customer service and provide the station number, date, and amount of the transaction, and they can help identify the exact location and, in some cases, supply contact details for that station.
Does Petro-Canada offer recurring or subscription-style charges?
Most Petro-Canada transactions are one-time charges for fuel or in-store purchases. However, you may see repeated charges if you frequently use the same station or if your business or fleet account is set up for regular fueling. Petro-Points and other loyalty programs do not normally generate separate card charges.
How do I request a refund or correction for an incorrect Petro-Canada charge?
If you believe you were overcharged or there was a duplicate transaction, bring your receipt and card statement to the station where the purchase occurred and speak with the manager. If you cannot visit in person, contact Petro-Canada customer service via their website or phone with the transaction details. For suspected fraud, contact your card issuer immediately to initiate a dispute and card replacement.
Why is there a small Petro-Canada charge even though my pump transaction was canceled?
In some cases, an initial preauthorization may appear even if the transaction is canceled or times out at the pump. This is typically reversed automatically by your bank within a few business days. If the pending amount posts and you did not receive fuel or services, contact the station or your bank with the transaction information.
How can I get a copy of a receipt for a Petro-Canada transaction on my card?
First check any physical or email receipts you may have received at the time of purchase. If you no longer have it, note the date, time, amount, and station details from your statement, then contact that Petro-Canada station or Petro-Canada customer service to ask if they can reprint or look up the transaction record.
How do I contact Petro-Canada about a charge I don’t recognize?
Visit petro-canada.ca and go to the Contact or Customer Care section for phone numbers and online contact forms. Provide the full transaction description from your statement, including date, amount, and station number, so they can investigate. If they confirm the charge is not linked to you, follow up with your bank or card issuer to formally dispute it.
