Shell / Circle K

The detail car wash is really good the problem is the person in charge of it he always tips himself without asking and I hate that ! I was supposed to pay 24.99 and I was going to leave a tip I gave him 30 and he gave me no change I ask for my change and he said it was for the tips !! So make sure when you pay exact change !

I stop here every time I drive through Carlsbad and need to fill up. The convenience store has a great selection of products. Their cookies are fresh baked, and they have a machine that makes a milkshake in front of you. The cookies and cream is amazing!

This is pretty much my go to gas station. It’s a newer station with reasonable prices, a spotless convenience store, a full service car wash and a nicely stocked redbox. I don’t believe there is really anything bad that can be said about this particular Shell.

This station is charging premium 91 gasoline prices for E85. They’re trying to gouge people for using fuel alternatives. E85 should be less than a gallon of 87, no more than 2.85/gal. Most stations in SD have E85 for ~$ 2.65/gal. This should be illegal. Unless you’re desperate, pass this station and go to the next.

Wow! I could not believe this was a convenience store restroom. I have never seen one so nice and clean. This place is great!

I have lived in this neighborhood for 7 years and have patronized this station regularly. I bought a car wash and upon finishing, the dryer blew my windshield trim off my Acura RSX. I reported it immediately to the weekend cashier who took photos for the manager. I took photos as well. I sent the manager my photos and spoke with her about the incident. She told me to get a repair estimate and they would take care of it.
Today I delivered the estimate and the OWNER point blank accused me of lying and trying to get them to pay for the damage. DO NOT PATRONIZE THE STATION. THESE PEOPLE ARE UNSCRUPULOUS! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR THERE FOR A WASH THERE AS IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR CAR.
DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS STATION. THE OWNER IS UNETHICAL, ARROGANT, AND COMPROMISED.

AVOID! This gas station is sooooo overpriced its sickening.
Sure it’s one of the only gas stations in the area and sure those Breesi Ranch people that think they are rich will pay that price but Breesi Ranch people aren’t rich, rather stupid if they continue to feed this gas station owner that kind of money.
Never again will I purchase from here. I saw the Shell on Rancho Santa Fe /​San Marcos yesterday morning 3÷28÷14 and it was $ 4.02! This place was $ 4.19−−17 cents inflated! Terrible.
I rather drive the extra couple of miles and risk running out of gas.

Absolute trash, the people working here are shady as hell they cant even give their store location & name to a shell rep over the phone without their manager present apparently. So much for customer service. It twas so bad the sales rep over the phone had to file a complaint against this branch after overhearing how they treated me.
Lol? you might want to read what i said again. There was never an issue with finding your store location.

Painfully slow, ancient gas pumps. Just getting to the point where you can actually pump takes far too long.

Love this Shell station – best customer service out of all of the gas stations I’ve been to. Cashiers are always pleasant, store is clean and well stocked, a great variety of snacks and hot food, as well as cold food items and beverages.

Bressi Shell carwash is good, but the Detail Center is Great!
I’ve had my older model Lexus detailed many times but I’ve never seen such attention to minute details, inside and out.
I had the clay polish done just before a nasty rainstorm and my car was the only clean car in the parking lot after the rain. Everything just ran off it beautifully and no dirt stuck. Now, a week later and it’s still clean. I’m saving lots of money not having to wash it as often.
My husband liked the way my car sparkled so much I took his 2003 Xterra in. The trim looked ragged and old and there was a scratch on the rear door. I wasn’t expecting much. HAPPY SURPRISE! It came back looking like new!
Highly recommended. Friendly, professional, competent.

This place saved my bootie today. Nails in tires suck!
Driving down Palomar Airport, my dashboard started to signal me in red flashing warning signs that my left rear tire was low in air — turns out, I had a big olé’ nail in my tire. I figured I just needed to get to a gas station to put enough air in it to get home and then I’ll call roadside assistance from the comfort of my own home.
I knew of this gas station located right outside of the Bressi Ranch and Rancho Carrillo developments so I figured i’d roll in there and hope they had air. Sure enough they did. whew. I got my free air and was on my merry or not so merry way.
I’ve been here before but I’ve only filled up on occasion when I was running on fumes and wouldn’t be able to make it my usual fill up joint. This is a nice place but I’ve found that gas is usually 15 – 20 cents more than other areas and since I already get screwed by my car needing to use premium gas, I just don’t feel like paying an extra premium. I’d use these guys more if they had competitive rates. HInt, hint!
This particular Shell gas station also has a really nice drive thru car wash and a pretty large convenient store. My husband has brought his car through here and liked but I haven’t.
Overall, a nice addition to the community and I’m glad they were there to lend me some air! Thanks Shell!
