Shell

Dirty restrooms. Small and cramped. Don’t use this exit for a rest stop. Take the Leval exit for your road trip pit stop. There are a few cleaner facilities there. Gas prices at this stop are outrageous too. You will pay at least a dollar more per gallon.

Easy to find, just off the 101 and easy to get back on the road. LOTS of pumps and easy to use terminals. I didn’t venture into the mini mart and the prices were higher than elsewhere but I was low on fuel and didn’t want to cross the pass without a fill-​up. I don’t mind paying more for my inability to plan further ahead than 40 miles. :)
Very convenient station. Some water leaking from the overhead to my car (not raining at the time).

I always stop at this station before getting on the grapevine. Very convenient and so clean! Always such a great selection in snacks and drinks. Prices are expected but well worth the stop in my opinion!

I have never left a bad review on Unilocal.Gas here is $ .90 per gallon more then Arco and there are no public restrooms.

We purchased $ 60 in gas and two milk drinks. I forgot a straw for my kid. I went back in and grabbed 2 straws and on the way out said, «Have a good morning!» to the cashier. He says, «Those are 25 cents each.» Umm, I pause thinking he is joking. «Seriously?» «Yeah». I consider this absurd fee and his rude tone and deadpan facial expression. «No thanks», I said as I went to leave them on his counter and he shrugged and said, «Go ahead and take them.» This was at 5am in the morning and there were no other cars in the station and no other people in the store, so there could be no confusion as to us being paying customers. We were dressed in decent clothing and were perfectly polite, so its not like we were homeless people taking advantage of his coffee accoutrament. Is this a real thing, charging customer for straws? Or was this guy just messing with me? Either way, what a horrible experience, bad enough for me to log into Unilocal hours later and leave this review for an otherwise unremarkable Shell station (as others have mentioned with high prices and decently clean restrooms).

It’s the last stop before hitting the Grapevine going South — so as expected the prices are higher than normal. The bathroom was pretty bad, to be honest.
Coffee is okay. The cashier was friendly so that is the only reason it got the 3^rd star.

The review is on the mystery TPMS light on the Camry. TPMS or Tire pressure monitoring system lights on when low tire pressure is detected.
Driving from Fresno I noticed the TPMS light turn on just before 1 – 5 steeply climbs up the mountain pass. I pulled into the last gas station. Outside was at least a 50 mph wind blowing and howling. The air pressure unit was non functional and observing the tires all four looked inflated. The only problem I found was the front hood was not fully latched down. I pushed the hood down until it locked in place, got back in the car and the TPMS light turns off.
Is there a built in guardian angle in these cars?

Lots of food options, clean bathrooms.

This has got to be «the» rest stop.
Tina’s Tips and Tantrums
— Pretty small parking lot on both sides
— Super crowded, but maybe because of Memorial Weekend
— No way to find out if you’re a «customer» to use restroom since its so busy
— Nutty nuts (literally all type of nuts) all over the store
— Clean restrooms
— Gas was up there, $ 4.50 per gallon
— Items were expensive though

Nice pit stop for getting some gas and snacks on the way to Los Angeles. It is and easy on and off freeway 5 with the ramp located a couple hundred feet from the station. The mini mart has a good selection of drinks and beef jerky. The restrooms are clean most of the time but could use some work. The gas is not cheap but it’s the same for any station along the I 5. The pumps are reasonably quick.

Disgusting.

First, anytime you need gas at the grapevine, you will pay through the nose. That being said, this place is clean and has nice bathrooms. Works for those in a pinch. Better yet, get your gas early so you can make it through the grapevine hump.

This place sucks. Yes, it’s a clean gas station, but that’s about it. Gas here is such a rip off. They even charged me $ 0.65 for a cup of hot water for my sick gf.
Fill up on the other side of the hill and you’ll fill up for $ 0.20 less or fill up further north and you can get it for $ 0.40 less. Generally, I try to avoid stopping near the hill because I know these gas stations will try to gouge you, but geez! Once in a while you can’t help it, but stay away if you can!

This is actually in Grapevine more than Lebec… I’m not sure why the address is what it is.
Clean bathrooms and a big patch of grass across the road… pretty fair for I5.

Stopped in for gas before we hit the Grape Vine. We got gas, a few drinks, some snacks and more than likely disease from the disgusting bathrooms… But the employee was actually very nice.

Seems like it’s expensive because they know that you’re desperate for gas if you’re stopping here on one side of the mountain. I’m bitter because they’re opportunistic. Crazy expensive, really. I fill up in LA or 100 miles north of here so they can’t take advantage.
One star not two because I need coffee right around this point of any trip.

I’ll keep this short. Stopped here out of complete necessity. Wanted snacks and NEEDED gas. I go inside and like always, I ask to fill my tank so I can come inside and get some snacks on the same purchase. The guy inside was polite but he would not help me the way I needed. Another in a long list of stations that refuse this simple service.
I give up on the snacks and go to pump my gas. They did have those vital little locking mechanisms on the handles ++ but the prices WOW
I didn’t bother filling up. I stopped the pump when it was almost at $ 10 only to see that a little over 2 gallons had been purchased.
I filled up later in Gorman.
the place was clean and nice but I just cant give 2 stars for this.

I’m a big fan of this Shell because it is literally right before the famed grapevine and I always find myself here filling up gas when I forget to stop by Kettlemen City on the way down from NorCal.
Furthermore, their bathrooms are clean and well maintained unlike some of the other, seedier stops along I5. I don’t mind the price hike as much since it’s relatively convenient and plenty of amenities to be found. The only complaint I have is that I am ALWAYS confused when getting back on the freeway since it’s not very intuitive which direction you’re going until it’s too late and you’re already on some crazy on-​ramp which will wrap around 3 times.
