Better Gas Prices For Using My Credit Card
SITREP
I’ve used both the Arco and the Chevron in proximity to this station when doing a fill-​up return of an Enterprise Care Rental to BUR. But I have found this Shell to be a better deal all the way around.
THE SETUP
Although Arco is cheaper, I would rather use my credit card (and this Arco will not let me) and get the points since I’m being reimbursed anyways. But the Shell is often 15 – 20 cents less expensive than the Chevron, so I think I’ve found my new go-​to gas station and save the State some money in the process.
THE SET-​UP
There is some greedy bastard with a gas station at the corner of Verdugo & Mountain in Glendale near my uncle’s home who currently is charging more than $ 4 a gallon on his premium, and his regular is not priced that much less either.
Luckily, I remembered there were a slew of gas stations on Hollywood Blvd. that I could fill my rental up before dropping it off at the BUR-​Enterprise rental agency on campus at the airport.
The Shell here is charging $ 2.55 a gallon — to me that is still price gauging — I had just filled up the tank at the Safeway Gas in my neck of the woods in Sacramento for less than $ 2 a gallon — but in SoCal it remains one of the better options.
THE LOWDOWN
My best gas option in Burbank (if not L.A. County altogether).

They didn’t let me use the restroom, although i bought gas for $ 80. Don’t visit this place.

Super convenient as I go swimming at the pool up the street and it’s on the way back to the freeway. The gas makes my car run, so it gets 3 stars for that.

Shant’s a good communicator and works quickly, but unfortunately his crew are short on integrity and lack respect for their customers. When you get your car back from a shop after a same-​day repair (meaning the car did not overnight at the shop), I think it’s reasonable to expect that you won’t be missing anything from your car.
Good, reasonable repair, but theft of any size sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Dishonest advertising practices. They have a banner up for $ 19.95 oil change but the total price comes out to be $ 29. They pad the price by adding exorbitant «hazard waste» and labor fees. I’ve got a $ 24.99 oil change at the Napa up the street which comes out less because they don’t cheat you on the extra fees. I have no problem paying either way, but trying to lure people in with a false price is unscrupulous in my opinion and only questions what other ways they are trying to screw you with their service.

These guys just repaired a sizeable dent in my bumper. For $ 95. Anywhere else, it would’ve cost $ 400 or up. I go to them for my regular oil changes and maintenance, and they don’t upsell you – if there’s a problem with the car, they bring you over and show you the problem so you can see it for yourself. Talk to Shant; he’ll take good care of you. I have a friend who also speaks very highly of them.
Strongly recommended for oil changes and auto maintenance.

I am not sure that it is related but my credit card number was stolen shortly after using these pumps!

I paid at the pump with my credit card… when I stopped and removed the nozzle at the desired amount the $ meter reader kept going up. WTF?!
I’d never seen anything like this… after slamming the nozzle down a few times and punching the buttons it stopped after charging me an extra $ 3 for gas that was never pumped.
When I reported the problem to the attendant he questioned what I described but eventually refunded back partially what I was owed.
BEWARE and STAY AWAY from this gas station!!!
IDK why but I’ve been having problems with (*some) Shell gas stations lately.

Well lit at night. and friendly service.

Had a great experience with the honest mechanic, Shant. Very upfront, and he was not a slimy salesman.

hahahhaha what can i say? its a Gas station and they serve Gas!
LMAO

I have left my car a few times here for repairs, as it is close to my work. The quality on my old car has been hit or miss. Recently some sketchy things have happened there and I wont be going back.

AVOID THIS GAS STATION AT ALL COSTS!!!
This station is my least favorite and also the most QUESTIONABLE with their transactions.
last night I stopped to get gas… Put my card in and proceeded to go through the motions of filling up. I don’t know why but the pump wouldn’t work properly no matter what I tried. It finally ended up spitting out $.07 worth of gas and then stopped. I so i ended the transaction, backed up my car and proceeded to use another pump. This time it said see cashier. So I went to the guy and asked what happened and he screamed at me thru the bullet proof glass saying «you broke pump? You broke pump!» which got me mad.
Long story short, the crusty mean old Hindu Indian guy working the register ended up cussing me out in his native tongue then tried to get me to do a credit card transaction where HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME PRE-​PAY AND OVER PAY WITH MY CREDIT CARD and then promised he would reimburse me with cash??? HUH??? … WTF!?! Was this guy for real? I left and went to a different station… What an ass!
I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO THIS GAS STATION!

this shell is decent. their prices are always lower than surrounding areas, but the people that come to this shell are stupid! this shell is down the street from my work and on numerous occasions i have encountered people who take up 2 whole gas pumps for their one car!
thank god for the alley because if you need to go toward the 134 on hollywood way, you’ll have a tough time turning out. but have no fear! you can take the alley way and come out right at a light on hollywood way! perfect way to beat the traffic!

Good place to get an oil change with little to no wait. Thought it looked like a scetchy place to leave my car, but so far so good.

3 Stars
Dear Shell,
Thanks for the convenient location. I was able to fill up my tank before heading back home to the Bay, and I’m sure your rates were reasonable (I didn’t really check). P. S. sorry about the puke… passenger had a hangover!
