Dublin Shell

Went in a few weeks back and purchased $ 5.00 worth of goods. I have been going there for 15 years so I walked out without looking at my receipt. My biggest mistake. The next day I saw a $ 215.00 charge from Shell. I immediately contacted my Bank and explained there was a mistake and please file a claim. Well, 3 weeks later the claim was denied. Now I ask, how in the hell does anyone spend $ 215.00 at a gas station. $ 80 worth of gas and 115 candy bars? I have spent thousands there over the years, but no longer will I even spend a cent.

It is unfortunate that this is the most convenient gas station for me. It is very overpriced compared to the other gas stations just a couple blocks away, but this is of course because it is right off the freeway. To use the bathroom you have to go inside and get a key and the bathroom is still nasty. I expect if you need a key to use the restroom it would be cleaner, but nope.

Rip off. Don’t try to use your luckys fuel reward card here. They turn off the pump at $ 50 and you lose your fuel discount. Staff say ‘it’s the card’ and nothing they can do about it and it takes 10 minutes of complaint to even get that much bullshit from them. Waste of time. Waste of money. Never returning.

Well what can I say? It’s a convenient overpriced gas station. My husband and I had the most annoying experience here a few days ago.
The Good:
Conveniently located
Lots of room in the station. that’s it
The Bad:
Overpriced
The Ugly:
Oh how I hate to name drop, but it must be done.
Credit card machine was broken on the pump we were on, so my husband went in to pay. He specifically told the cashier (Chona) that he wanted 60 on number FIVE. Because she didn’t seem to be paying attention, he told her the pump number 3 times throughout the transaction Walked back out and I told him the pump still wasn’t working, but the people behind us on pump FOUR was walking around looking incredibly confused. My husband looked at his receipt and found the the 60 dollars spent was applied to pump number FOUR.
He walked back in and Chona basically called him a liar and that he should have told her the correct number. So I walk in to put money onto my credit card so that I could get our gas and be on our way. She said that there is already a credit card on that number and that I would have to move my car and they’ll transfer the credit card information onto the other pump. Why I followed what she told me, I don’t know because it makes absolutely no sense.
So I’m onto my new pump and I told her to go ahead and start the pump, but was then notified that I would need to pay for it because the other credit card is denied. She said we probably didn’t have any money. Ok, that is a bit presumptious and incredibly rude of her. I gave her my credit card, and while filling up, the bank called my husband over strange transactions on his card. As it turns out, three different transactions happened one after the other at the same gas station so they froze the card.
Really? All this just because I wanted a damn tank of gas? Never again! (Unless I am somehow assured that whoever is working the register knows the difference between numbers 4 and 5.)

87 octane $ 4.399/g

Got gas on my way home to Tracy. The place wasn’t busy, the pumps worked, and I was on my way in a couple of minutes. I’m not sure what else you could say. I didn’t go in to get any snacks, cuz we all know how expensive that ish is, but the gas pumps where clean and i was in and out with no hassle or window crack sales people. I appreciate it.

ya, the prices are kind of high here but when one hightails it out of oaktown without fueling to get to the trivalley, one needs to refuel to get back. years ago, this was one of few places that sold diesel in dublin.
gas drips:
–easy freeway on and off
–easy access back onto streets
–wide lanes in station
–convenience store
–takes credit card at pump.

I come here on my way to the freeway. Not bad, it’s a gas station.

Not very appealing (color-​wise) and always a few cents more than the adjacent Chevron.

Got Gas?
Hey, what can you say when you review a gas station?
What I look for is (and do they have it):
— reasonable prices — Yes
— clean filling area and working pumps — Yes
— clean bathroom — Yes
— good window cleaners and squeegees — Yes
— good coffee for the morning drive — Yes
— decent selection of drinks and snacks for the kids — Yes
— friendly staff — Yes
But why only 3 stars?
— gas is a little cheaper down the road at Safeway with my club card
— They switched to Styrofoam cups for the coffee (I do not like Styro cups, bring back the old ones)
The coffee is good with several different flavored coffees as well as the good olé French Roast. They even have flavored creamers which are now all the rage. They have the different soda’s, energy drinks, vitamin infused waters, etc. Even reasonably fresh donuts to go with the coffee if you wish.
If they give me better coffee cups or a discount for bringing my own, I’ll bump them up to 4 stars.
And the man behind the counter in the morning always seems to have a smile on his face. Nice guy.
