Mira Mesa Shell

Didn’t realize that this was the Shell gas station that two friends had their credit cards skimmed. I had my credit card skimmed thank goodness for my credit union being aware of it and contacted me. I would never buy gas here again. !!!BEWARE!!!

If I could rate this 0 or — I would. For how busy this station/​area is, there is always at least 1 to 2 pumps guaranteed to be out of service. And frequently 3 pumps at times. In fact one time the entire station was closed because every single pump needed work. I don’t know who the manager is of this location but they do a tremendously piss poor job of having open pumps. More times than not, I’ve been on a wild goose chase to find a working pump at this location.

A gas station is a gas station. Easy access off the 15– just west of it. Decent prices.
Don’t use pump 8. You’re basically stuck behind the car in front of you. You can’t drive through because the potato chip stand is blocking the passing lane. Check out my picture.

Normally I rate gas stations just on their bathrooms. This one twice I came to fill up and twice the machine had issues.

If i could give this place 0 stars I would have, first I get quoted the wrong price on an item pay for it then ask for a refund when I realize on the receipt that I got charged incorrectly, the worker named Tim instead of giving me a refund charges my card not once but twice more instead of applying the refund to my card, I asked the guy for the managers number and he get smart with me! If you’re using your card here be where you’re not going to know if they’re extra charging you or not, I had to tell the guy Tim to let me see what he charges on my credit card again, it was double of what I paid the first time, I can see a mistake happening like this one but double charging on the second time I have issues about that especially when you want to get smart with me after you’ve messed up

Gas is gas. This place is usually not crowded and has a small mini mart and I mean extremely small. There is also a car wash, which I consider a spit wash as it doesn’t really do much.

Great station come here often but beware of the carwash… hurts the paint and has cracked my windshield. Other than that, a good station. I hope Shell and the owners of this location use another car wash machine company one day. One’s that move around your car tend to be the harshest on the car.

I always stop by here on my way to work, every week I refuel. Clean place, easy access, except getting out requires few trick while trucks, and cars are stopping on the red lights. It gets busy in the A. M but other than that I had no issues.

The station has a great location and the televisions are nice while you’re gassing up. However, navigating in and out of the parking lot is just plain dangerous. The gas is also much more expensive than other places just a block or so away.

Clean location. Plenty of refueling stations. Love the TVs and the EXTRA while refueling. They are definitely more expensive than Carmel Valley Shell, but sometimes, when you need gas, you just gotta do it.
Getting in an out of this place can be a little tricky specially when trucks are present. They have a car wash which I yet have to try.

Watch out for ghetto people asking for money or pretending they ran out of gas. They’re fake! I remember I got gas twice in a week once and I saw the same person asking. I didn’t think people would get that ghetto, but I guess some people do fall for it. I’ve seen a crack head looking lady, young kids, and a motorcyclist.
I only keep coming back because prices are cheap and it’s in my hood. They have a car wash, air, water, vacuum and is well lit at night.

I have never been disappointed ever time i pump my gas at this place. The gas price is pretty decent for being that close to a freeway exit, most places they jack yah! i have also had my car washed at the quickie wash and never have any complaint. Over all, it is 5 stars for me.

Prices are good, but the machines are super slow. Every button pressed takes several seconds to process. It’s incredibly annoying. I only buy gas here because the prices seem to be a few cents lower than other nearby gas stations.

Type in your Ralphs rewards number and you save 0.10 per gallon…
This location is about .07 cheaper compared to the Shell 10 miles west on Mira Mesa Blvd.
This spot can get busy at times and the computer system does lag a bit.
Food mart is tiny.

If you like to go galavanting as much as I do, got no choice, but to fill up. No matter how much it is, can’t complain, it’s a necessity. Otherwise take the bus or ride a bike or hitch… not!
Some of the pumps are slow here, but at least you’ve got TV entertainment.
Their car wash is always packed, which means it must be good.
I never deal with the attendant, I always pay by credit card or debit, so I don’t know how their customer service is. I like how they don’t have a surcharge for paying by credit/​debit like how Arco or Unocal do.
Lastly, it’s next to an In-​n-​Out, so while putting gas you’ll definitely get hungry! =)

It’s not really the gas I’m writing about but the pretty bomb carwash you can get for $ 8 that includes a rain sealant. I’ve never seen that offered at any other drive-​thru car wash that doesn’t have humans involved in the cleaning process. Oh yeah, you get to watch TV on huge screens while you fill up, which is good for you Suburban drivers that have 30+ gallon tanks.
