Shell

5% service charge for SHELL gift cards?!? That should be illegal!

I’ve always liked this Shell gas station it was conveniently located and has a drive thru car wash. It’s always clean and well maintained. However with the surge in gas prices I’ve had to find cheaper gas stations. If price wasn’t an issue then I’d defiantly come here to fill up. The car wash is nice, it’s not as good as a hand wash but it does the trick.

Bathrooms are clean but they need a major remodel. Staff is always welcoming.

Okay so this is a really good gas station but they are always overpriced. Even with cAr wash and discounts, they still come up high. I think it’s really a good place to go for you car to be washed and get gas but I don’t understand why it’s so overpriced. I go there anyway but I won’t fill up a full tank ever if I don’t have a discount!

I always get gas here! Nowhere else in the world would I ever get gas unless I’m literally almost stranded.
This location also has a car wash and is in the same location as Fuddruckers and Subway.
I always pay with card right when I pull up and have never had any problems.

Top notch quality gas for your car. Definitely my top gas stations picks to get gas for my BMW.
But darn you gas prices… always draining out my wallet!
And attendants… Why are you always so grumpy? Your job is not that hard.

The card reader at the pump wouldn’t take my card, so I went to the attendant. Explained to him that he would have to enter the number manually. He refused, arguing with me, acting like because I am a young woman that I don’t know what I am talking about. After the cards magnetic strip would read, and waiting for him to try every trick in the book to get it to read he asked me very rudely why I don’t get a new card from the bank. I can’t believe that the manager tony Gonzalez would hire incompetent and impatient people. Had the attendant just listened to what I was saying he could have saved himself and me a lot of time and trouble.

Shell gas stations have always been my go-​to over the years for a «brand name» gasoline product in my vehicles.
I prefer to go to the ones with the food-​mart for other snacks or drinks on the go when I am not near an AM PM. Service at this one was decent as are most Shell gas stations. Not much else to say about this location.

I’ve been coming to this Shell ever since I could drive.
Easy location in the middle of Mira Mesa.
I have only needed to wait for a pump once.
Very close to Target and other places to eat.
My only gripe is when they shut off all the pumps to do maintenance. I must be lucky because I’ve had to drive someplace else to get gas mupltile times because of maintenance.

Lines are usually pretty short, the gas prices are always decent for the area. The staff is hit or miss, some grouches, some great people. They don’t carry bottled Barq’s root beer anymore, which was the main reason I came/​come here.
Piece of advice for those craving a snack (both edible and in drink form) check the dates. I cannot tell you how many times I have bought a soda or a candy bar to get back to work and find it had expired. Usually not a HUGE deal, I still eat or drink it, but sometimes you get that crusty candy bar that doesn’t even look like chocolate anymore.

I work few blocks away and this gas station is on my way home. Usually I just pay by credit card at pump.
Do not ever go inside!
Men who works there is maddest and meanest person I ever met. Hollywood characters need to learn from this guy. Once I had problem with credit card reader — I asked man to scan it, it worked — that guy yelled at me that I had bad card. Another time button for car wash did not worked, I asked him to use my gas receipt for car wash discount. He rejected.
Overall I’m fine with mean people in public places, they just contribute to already stressful life. But if you had bad day at office, save yourself from trouble — do not pay inside.

Small station convenient location.
Carwash, soft touch, blue swirly things. They have someone pre-​clean your hub caps/​rims before one enters the carwash.
Long line for carwash. Congested area.
In a strip mall with a Fresh and Easy, Bev Mo, and quite a few eateries.

Beware of this Shell Station and their scam on «Buy gas and buy Soapy Joe’s Carwash and get 0.20 Cents off per gallon of gas». My partner just told me that their computer malfunctioned and did not give him his 0.20 cents off per gallon and also did not give him the car wash that he purchased. He then talked with the so called «store manager» who refused to re-​ring the sale for him and would only sell him the full priced car wash. I will boycott this place. They are scamming people.

I’ve been here a few times and I honestly don’t know exactly why.
A while back (a few years ago) they were actually fairly cheap for gas. This was when I was an intern and I was comparing it to gas prices to that near UCSD. Well, I would come here because they had cheap gas prices and now I come here because it’s close and convenient to work. Why not? You figure driving out of your way could cost more than the $ 0.10 /​gal you might or might not save. So to the effect of gas prices, they’re alright.
I also came here when my car was running low on oil. The engine light popped on saying «Give me more oil!» and I pulled over here. It was nice because I bought two quarts and the attendant handed me a paper funnel! I didn’t think they had such things but he just gave it to me anyways. That nice gesture made me a repeat customer for a few times. Now that I moved closer to the tech center Costco, I will stick to their gas if i have the time. But Viper Shell, You’re a-​ok with me!
TL:DR — Decent gas prices and had a good experience once.

$ 4.25 per gallon this week for regular. Got damn! It forces a decion upon all the pot heads choose whether to buy gas or buy grams. Society’s sneaky way in turning people into criminals. SMH. The lower the gas price, the lower the crime rate. Simple as that. Haha.

**SERVICE**
I mean come on really? Can you really expect much from a cashier at a gas station? Guess not… they take your money and ring your out, ask you what pump and then you leave right? Well same be the case at this here gas station.
**GAS**
All the pumps worked this time, it always seem ²⁄₁₀ times I pull up there is always a pump out of order and it almost always the one I stop at lol Gas is competitively priced for being on a main stip with not other gas station for a block or two lol
**EXTRAS**
They also have a Mex food place right next door, and I literally mean right next door… they also have car wash so its pretty cool little place. Everyone at the car wash it friendly… maybe the gas station should take note of the friendly-​ness or hire some smoking hot babes!

Right off the bat — this gas station is cheating their customers.
I recently went to this gas station to refuel my bike on my way to home. I always go for full tank of gas. At the pump, I tried to swipe the card, and the pump display told me to go see the cashier. And I was not the only person who was heading into the cashier’s den. That is some strategy to make the customer walk in to the shop mart, at least a few would buy something apart from gas as well.
Calculating and from past experience, the full tank of gas has never cost me more than $ 14 with current gas prices, so, I requested for $ 15 authorization on my card. Back at the pump, I started dispensing and the meter hit 3.4 gallons and shut off due to the authorization amount limit reached.
Fine! I thought my bike was little more hungry than usual. I pulled the nozzle out and looked in the gas tank. The gas level generally touching the filler tube’s neck was way below, about 3 to 4 inch below clearly indicating the pump dispensed less quantity than it showed.
Hmm. what should I do now… They may have made a couple of bucks off me – not a big deal. Should I suck it up or come here and whine to let others know that this gas station is making a sucker out of its customers.
Ah! well, they at least made me sign up and create an account on Unilocal

convenient location off of mira mesa blvd. attendant in the morning is grumpy, the ones that work late afternoon and evening are nice. There’s also a mini mexican joint next door (no.not a dooby… i mean a eating joint… restaurant) if your waiting on your car wash or oil change.

Convenient location. Great carwash/​oil change combo.

Unilocal app has it wrong on it’s map. I got gas here one time and they gave me an extra 28 dollars worth of gas on a mix up by the cashier. Maybe i should give them an extra star for that… umm naw its still a gas station.
