Redlands Shell

After having an awesome Thanksgiving dinner with a previous coworker from Loma Linda, I headed back home late at night. I was very wired and full energy (thanks to the turkey, gormeh sabzi, and zereshk polo), but my car was lacking in fuel. So I stopped by here before heading back to LA.
I’m guessing this is one of only a very few gas stations servicing Redlands. It is well lit, and stands right by the freeway entrance, so the convenience is a plus. The gas prices were alright, when compared to prices back home. The only thing I didn’t like about this place is that the other three people here at the time looked like junkies. Surprising, as Redlands seems like a nice town, but I’m guessing they were just passing by.
I got my gas and left. This station did its job well.

Purchased a tank of gas and a car wash. Tore my ticket off too soon. The clerk had a new one already for me as I entered the station. Did not even have to ask! This is one of the best self washes I know of. Brushes and shampoo do a very good job of cleaning. The blow drier should run a bit longer. You have to do a little supplemental wiping after the finish. All in All a great place to go for a quick self wash. Have used it dozens of times. Usually quite a wait especially on weekends. Best later at night.

Had some troubles with my car, and the mechanic Harvey was kind enough to go out of his way to help me out. I am extremely grateful for his kindness and generosity. Thank youu!

The gas prices are alright, but the employees seem bored, inattentive, and if they forget to remove sales from their snacks, they will not honor the price. You’re also lucky to get two words out of some of the cashiers. I don’t enjoy this location, and the 76 directly across the way is usually the exact same price, with the added bonus of awesome cashiers.

tough break but deserves reporting, they have the 20c a gallon off program with ralphs, the machine confirmed i had put the ralphs info in and should anticipate the discount, then pumped away at full price. the clerk reviewed the transaction and stated: «i can see conclusively that you must not have entered the ralphs info, the only way to get the ralphs info for sure is to enter it with the cashier, and that she could tell that no one had used a ralphs club card at the pump all day», (at 1pm on a sunday). three consecutive horribly wrong answers.
what this tells customers is that they have a broken pump and either dont care or are profiting from overcharging, that not just my transaction but all transactions that same date had committed the same overcharge, and that reporting it to the cashier would reveal they were just going to justify the overcharge with semantics.
what they may want to know is this is letting them off easy, they could have their weights and measures permit suspended, be liable for large fines, and be targeted by news organizations that love these overcharge stories.
i would fix it, and customers beware.

My car battery died at the station across the street. I walked over to Shell, and the mechanic there came with me to give me a charge, then replaced my battery in under 20 minutes. He could not have been nicer, same with the cashier.

This is seriously the cleanest station I have been too. The gas is always tied for the cheapest and sometimes is the cheapest, but at the same time Shell gas is awesome gas. I fill up all my cars from my VW to my Benz here. The car wash cleans my car spotless and takes only 5 min for 6 – 9 bucks depending on what kind. Awesome station. They also helped my grandma since she cant get out of her car, very kind people.

It’s a gas station. You go, you buy gas, you leave. The pumps worked and the place was pretty free of muck and yuk.

I purchased a car wash and waited just like everyone else. I entered my number and the machine took it and said pull forward. I entered the wash and nothing happened. I went to the office and the employee said there was nothing they could do and that I got the wash. With my dirty Blue VW Bug sitting with eye shot he said there was still nothing he could do. I would have to talk to the owner tomorrow. Went in the next day and they said there was nothing they could do!!! WTF??? Nothing they could do??? I know something i can do is let everyone know what kind of business they run and how they RIP OFF their customers. Watch out for this gas station if they rip off car washes they could go as far and rip you off on gas prices. Like short you on every gallon you think you are buying. Just something to think about and one mans opinion!
