Santa Rosa Shell

I have to say, this Shell location is perfectly located within close proximity of the 101 freeway, compared to other gas stations not so near by.
The good thing about this gas station is that most if not all the pumps actually lock down when you’re pumping. The workers have been nice, the few times we’ve stopped by.
The real question, how are the restrooms… Meh, I wouldn’t and don’t use them.

Keep you off this place, if you don’t want to have chance to meet a rude attendant. My case — some brain-​dead chick prepaid for my gas pump number. And I had hard time to start pump gas — I check with attendant, that it is not taking my credit card — the answer was — «try harder».
So I tried my (other) Discover card, and it worked — I started pumping gas. At some point attendant came at me shouting that I am stealing gas, and I own him 30 bucks, because someone else prepaid the gas. I told him several times, that I have turn my credit card, and I am paying for my gas. He was so extremely rude, that at some point, I was thinking that he’ll attack me and I’ll have fist fight with him in front of my wife, and daughter — as pissed I was for been accused stealing gas, and shouting at me — he had no chance.
Anyhow — he called the police, they came — I explained them the case, and we’ve called the credit card — they confirm that some transaction with Shell is ongoing but it is only the $ 1.0 — the beginning, and they did not know for how much it’ll be. Now I am waiting to find out if indeed someone prepaid my gas (mind I couldn’t have receipt after asking several times), or I paid for it.
Now I am debating to call Shell customer service and having them fired this attendant.

Old man owner refused to turn on «free air» so we could fill our tires after we bought gas from him. Will not return

I’m just writing this review to write one. It’s a gas station. Come in pump your gas and then leave. They got a small bathroom and a little snack shop. Don’t expect much from the employee working there… they are probably pissed off they work at a gas station.

The attendant was a real jerk. I tried to ask him to turn on the air and he tried to convince me I have to put quarters in when I told him it was state law to give me free air. He tried to argue with me I had to be a customer for him to give me the free air. He tried to rip me off. He was even rude to a paying customer before me. Don’t give this station your business. I never write a review but I was so enraged this deserved one.

As you students and residents may know, there is two Shells on Santa Rosa… go ahead and drive past both and find the cheapest one before you fill up the tank! Well worth it.

As someone said, there’s nothing special about this station and it’s not particularly close to State St or particularly cheap … but it’s convenient if you’re right there and totally running out of gas.
This was also nice for us to pick up some convenience goodies like energy drinks for the drive home.

Kind of dirty, not lit up enough at night for me. Gas wasn’t too bad, they also have diesel.

Nothing special about this Shell station in San Luis Obispo.
It has gas that is priced fairly competitively, not the cheapest, but reasonable enough.
It has the newer pump styles that Shell has been putting in the past few years. It has a small snack store.
But what is important about this Shell is that is right near where the 101 heading northeast, splits into Highway 1 going northwest up the coast. So it is a good pit stop to gas up before you go up HIghway 1 to Hearst Castle or beyond, or continue up 101 to Paso Robles and beyond.

HI!!! I like to Unilocal Rest Areas and gas stations.
I’m always on the hunt for cheap gas.
By dumb luck I got off on the Santa Rosa exit, and this was the first gas station I saw.
$ 3.49 for plus!!! Go a couple blocks east and you’ll pay $ 3.75! That’s right, 26 cents more!
