Shell

Worst place ever! payed 6 $ for a carwash and it didn’t wash my car as I thought. It didn’t give any soap and my car ended up WORST it didnt dry it either and left my car worst then what it was before I was so mad and in regreat going there never will I go there again !

Don’t go here. I only go to other gas stations, that are not Shell. I had a gift card. The cashier was very rude. He couldn’t check my balance on my card. He said «See all these tickets? My boss will ask me what all these tickets are for in the morning!» That was his response for checking my balance on my gift card. He basically yelled at me.
These people will rip you off. Gas was $ 3.59 for the 87 gas, as of July 1^st. When I get my receipt for my gift card, I was charged $ 3.79. My gift card was only pre-​authorized to pump gas. Ii pressed the 87 button, thinking I would be paying for the $ 3.59 gas, but instead was charged $ 3.79. I will be reporting this gas station to this website
The clerk gave me a look, like I was another annoying customer. He said «Yes??» when Ii walked in. Is that any way to greet a paying customer? Nope! Even if it’s down the street, drive to Arco. They have a way friendlier guy working the register, better prices/​lower prices, and police always hang out there, so you’ll feel safe.
I REPEAT. THESE PEOPLE ARE RIP-​OFFS. THEY PRICE GOUGE GAS. AVOID! AVOID!
HOW CAN I PRESS THE 87 OCTANCE BUTTON FOR $ 3.59 GAS AND GET CHARGED $ 3.79 PER GALLON?
AGAIN, I WILL BE REPORTING THESE CROOKS!

Tried to use my rewards points along with a car wash. Everything went thru but the pump wouldn’t pump. Went inside and was told the pump wasn’t working. Moved to another pump and the same thing happened. Moved to a third pump where someone had just filled up. Message on machine told me to see the cashier. Went back inside and was told his pumps weren’t not accepting the grocery store points. Asked him about the BIG sign saying they were good at his station. He finally entered my information at his register. I suggested he should have told me that the first time I went inside… Went to fill up and he’d entered my credit card number for the wrong pump. Had to move my car again. Filled up and headed to the car wash. The number he gave me didn’t work. At that point, I left in disgust…

Shame on you Shell, I feel you deceived me, which I’m also seeing from the other Unilocal reviews! This is the last gas station before I head to my house, and I use it a fair amount regardless of the price of gas — which is moderately priced, for the record.
I’ve been reading about how cheap gas is getting, and I saw $ 3.25 for super premium. After pumping my gas, I was surprised that the amount of gas I calculated (a game I play with myself) was off based on the money I paid. I’m usually good at this calculation game — side bar.
Anyway, what I registered mentally was the flashing price they had for gas AFTER you also buy a car wash. WHAT?! Plus, it has been raining for 2 straight days, and was even raining when I got my gas! I ended up paying $ 3.45 per gallon, even with cash. Like a moth the light, the big red neon sign sucked me in!
I get having a price difference for paying with a credit card versus cash — in this case, I felt deceived. As I looked really close at their gas board, and finally, I spotted a small… SMALL sign to the side which indicated the prices were ‘with the purchase of a car wash’.
Moving on… this location has a nice convenience store with all the things you might expect, lottery machine, a variety of drinks, and some food, etc.
Did I mention they have a drive through car wash, LOL! The people working here are friendly and the physical location is generally clean. I also like that the pumps have paper towels, and good condition squeegee devices to clean your windows.
DON’T BE TRICKED BY THE PRICE OF GAS!

Fast, easy and cheap cigs

This is one of those gas stations that falsely advertise the gas price. Never coming back.

Do yourself a favor and don’t go there! I’ve been there twice and both times had a horrible experience. Indeed the price you see on the sign is not the correct price (unless you are getting a car wash), but another problem is the Ralphs reward card program. The first time I walked inside to pay because I thought the price on the sign was not being reflected on the pump. I then learned the trick, buy the car wash! The second time, I decided to get the car wash to maximize my discount at the pump. After I paid for gas, car wash and gave him my rewards number, I get to the pump to have no discount at all! Say what!!! He reimbursed me the difference in money both times because I complained. I can only imagine how much money is this man pocketing everyday. Sad businesses still use this types of practices.

The man at the counter was rude. He talked to me in a very demeaning manner. I took my car through the wash and My car was washed… I think.

The location of this is as good as any other… on the side of PCH in a high traffic area. The size of the gas fueling area is a little packed but not the worst I’ve seen nor the best. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because of a couple things… The car wash for one. The car wash charges $ 5 – 7 and it is terrible. I’ve gone through my fair share of car washes and paid $ 5 for a good one. Compared to other car washes this is so horrible! Barely any soap, a little rinse, and a horrible drying job… I feel like I drove by a house that has a malfunctioning sprinkler and paid $ 6 for it. Surprisingly there seems to be a lot of cars waiting in line. Another thing is that this gas station is owned by an Indian guy. All the staff are Indian too. Now nothing against Indians but all Indian staff is not racially profiling? They are all rather indifferent to the customer. Hard working but nothing particularly outstanding. The inside shop is small w a few snacks, drinks, sandwiches, coffee. Overall a C+

Just no common sense. I buy $ 92 in gas go in the store to buy twenty two dollars in groceries and grab a empty cup to split a protein shake that I am buying from them. They want to charge for a empty cup after $ 114 in purchase. Returned all the groceries and will not be filling up my gas or my companies gas here in the future. I explained to the teller you are losing money, quite a bit of money by charging for a cup that say costs a quarter. Company policy can cost you. Oh well will be driving our trucks a few more blocks to fill up

This Shell is between a 2 and a 3 star, the location is very convenient and it has an easy in/​easy out setup, the pumps are always clean and the card readers work consistently. My two negative comments about this place include the false advertising and the car wash.
1. The prices posted are not accurate, well they are if you read the incredibly small sign off to the side that says «with a car wash». If you see the prices at this station driving by add 10 cents to get the actual price.
2. The car wash is one of the best, but there is a guy (not sure if he’s employed by the gas station) that offers to wash your windows after the car wash, he is a little aggressive and pretty much stands in front of your car until you basically have to yell at him to move. I don’t like being hassled, I’m just trying to get a cheap/​fast car wash. This turned me off so much from the car wash that I rarely if ever use this location to get a rinse even though I would save my 10 cents.

This is a very standard place to get gas. It’s got all the amenities: a scrubber to «wash» your car while you pump, a drive thru car wash, a bunch of candy, and staff that aren’t creepy. Nothing special though. I mean, it’s not like there are free camel rides. It’s a gas station. Yup.
