Geneva Shell

F***ing rude cashiers no manners! Their outdoor payment never works correctly forcing me to go inside to all to them (yes I know how to pay outside I used to work for a shell) and their recite machine never prints anything (when you ask the lady for a final transition recite she will not give you one until arguing with you)
As a person that has worked in a gas station I know what’s right and what’s wrong and the behavior from this cashier are wrong (if you don’t like your job then quit before they fire you)
Although this is the only shell gas station near my house I rather travel to 19^th avenue to get my gas (the cashier are nicer there)

Sahid is the car whisperer keeping my 2001 Prius w 215k miles alive. I’m using it currently to commute 4 days a week from SF to San Jose and largely because of him it’s in good running condition and safe to drive. He’s great to work with and expert at diagnosing issues correctly, doing the repairs with quality parts, staying in budget and working with you schedule wise. What can I say? Highly recommend.

I have never wrote a review for a gas station ever! Yet I was so urked today that I am! I visit this station quite a bit since it’s in my neighborhood. My family has visited the nice guy in the auto body shop and his service is great. HOWEVER, the woman (mid-​aged, chunky, possibly hispanic background– sorry I don’t know her name) in the gas station cashier stand needs a serious attitude adjustment because she screamed at me to the point I was ready to slap her silly!
It was 6:45AM in the morning, pulled up to the pump, ran my card, hit the octane button as prompted and no gas came out of the pump. Tried to troubleshoot, ran my card again and I was asked to see the cashier. As I was walking into the cashier, another car was trying to pump gas as well and were having trouble. They asked me «no work?» and I replied to them it’s not working for me either. Once inside, I nicely told the cashier my pump was not working. She immediately SCREAMED at me saying «Because you HIT DEBIT!» I replied, no, it’s a credit card, I hit credit card and she repeatedly screamed at me and argued I hit Debit. Instead of continuing this potentially screaming match, I said can I just pay here? I swiped my credit card inside for a fixed amount. When I returned to my car to pump it didn’t work. So I had to back inside and when I said it still didn’t work she SCREAMED AGAIN and said «YOU SAID #7!!!» I’m so puzzled because I had no clue what that meant. I quickly dawned on me she was talking about the pump number and I had no clue what my pump I was parked at. Looking outside the window from her visual I saw that the other was parked at #7 and pumping gas just fine now. I told her that’s not my car and she continued to scream «YOU TOLD ME #7! YOU TOLD ME #7!» I had enough at this point and demanded my money back and she screamed «NO! YOU TOLD ME #7!» over and over again. I finally SCREAMED back saying I’m not paying for someone elses gas! and she continued to deny giving me my money back and saying «you told me #7– hence, expecting me to PAY for someone else’s gas when she knew it was not my car.
I’m done. Management, you need to simply fire this woman and hire someone else or have a dog to do the job. I’m convinced this woman is not even trainable.

This review is specifically for Daniela/​Danella. I came in this morning to get gas and it wasn’t the first time that I am using this branch. The nozzle wasn’t working well compared to the previous times I used it so I had to tell the cashier, Daniela. She gave me instructions and so I returned to the station. I haven’t started pumping and the machine already said Thank You so I had to ask again if something was wrong with that specific station. Then Daniela makes this irritated facial expression, doesn’t even look at me, finishes whatever she was doing behind the cashier, goes out of the store so I had to follow her, goes to my car, did something to the machine and filled my tank. All this while she was stomping her feet and making an irritated facial expression. Did I make you do something you’re not supposed to?! Mind you, this happened even before 8 am. How awful!
To the management: Train your employees well. Even if people come in and out of a gas station, you still have to be pleasant. That’s why is it called customer service!

Just had the most helpful service experience in 40 years of living in San Francisco. If your having car troubles and are near the outer Mission I highly recommend this service station. Vahid and his partner were knowledgeable, friendly and fast in fixing the starter for my Pathfinder, even changing a break light they noticed out before I left the station at no charge. Paid under a hundred for the labor which is usually where people are gouged. Good and fair mechanics are hard to come by. This one’s a keeper! 5 star

Used Rahid’s services a couple of times with both of my cars. I had my brakes and battery changed and he was very friendly, fast and had a very reasonable price. He is very honest and I trust him. I always took my cars to the dealer for all the services but Rahid’s service was as good as the dealer but much, much cheaper. I will recommend him to all my friends.

Absolutely awful. This guy makes his money by ripping people off, especially students. Went in for new break pads– nearly 8 hours and $ 600 dollars later I get my car back. Convinces me my rotors are bad and I need new rotors too totalling in about 600 bucks. Puts new rotors on and my car starts shaking, has to get new new ones. When I finally pick it up after having no car on my girlfriends birthday (missed our reservation) I see the old rotors and they are perfectly fine. The guy who runs this shop ripped off a broke student, I hope he’s happy. Don’t go.

Ah man the guy working at Shell gas station at the service station. I was going to tip him big but he just blow it and lost it. I asked to pretty much three things to make sure the way they would do the oil change will be same way I do for an oil change. I was lazy at the moment because of other work.
Also they don’t have the right motor oil for your car. Car will run stupidly inefficient.

I think the gas here is very fair there to most places are usually put gas here or near my house or at Costco I feel like this gas last me forever and I really like how it’s clean and the people I work inside of kind of nice and not rude like most people that were get gas stations

Got stopped last night for a burnt out headlight. This morning before work, I was stressing because of time constraints. Okay, this was the plan. Get up early, grab coffee, go buy a new headlight at O’Reilly’s, then find a place to have it installed.
Drove by Geneva Shell and stopped in asking if they would have time to replace the headlight after I purchased it. They told me they have parts and could take care of it right away.
Within 30 minutes of leaving my house, I was back home again — problem solved! Writing this review.
Geneva Shell is a great neighborhood business. If you live in this part of the city or are looking for a great place to solve car issues — look no further.
Thank you, Geneva Shell, for making my life so much easier this morning!

Excellent repair service. Our car died late at night a few blocks from this repair shop and we limped it into parking lot, left keys and a note with service attendant for morning. We got a phone call from Vahid the next morning, he had already hand towed car into garage and diagnosed problem with estimate. Owner Vahid is incredibly kind, patient, honest and clear in his explanations and recommendations. He doesn’t cut corners or exploit one’s lack of knowledge, prefers to inform, educate and guide you to best options. He could have exploited our situation with our car essentially dying in his parking lot but instead we had a $ 30 option to drive away a working car, or a $ 600 option to repair much bigger problems that could have been disastrous down the road. We so trusted his approach and honesty that we opted for the big long term fix. Comparing this repair work to previous identical work with our other SOMA garage, Vahim is cheaper too. I highly recommend this garage.

I came here the other day to get my oil changed for my BMW. Since my brother decided to get his changed without me i decided to go to one closer to my house. After arriving I was greeted by Vahid. Wonderful mechanic and great customer service. He did my oil changed and did a courtesy of checking what else was wrong with my car the next day!
After getting the diagnosis from him, saying my powersteering tubes were leeking a bit, He orders the parts for me and told me to bring it in the following week. When i brought it in today. He told me that there might be another tube that mights need changing and he will order it to get it fixed with no additional charge! I don’t know about you but being as it is my first time bring my car to a shop i had an amazing experience! Will definitely be back for the future for any tune up/​oil changes.
P.s i ran my car over the curb and he looked at it again if any damages were made. Again excellent service!

I was looking for an auto shop to fix my father’s inifiniti G35. My dad wanted to find an auto shop that was not only reliable, but also cheap. Geneva Shell was exactly what we were looking for! When I arrived to the auto shop, I was greeted by Vahid, the owner and mechanic of the auto shop. We needed to change our oil, replace a light bulb, and replace our alternator belt. Vahid told us that our car will be ready in about 3 hours.
One hour later, he called us and told us he was ready with our car! My father and I were amazed on how quickly he finished. When we went back to pick up our car, Vahid explained everything to us. He told us that he drove around the block to make sure our car was running well. He also explained how our wheels were low on air, so he helped us pump our wheel! The best part is, the price was extremely reasonable! Keep up the good work Vahid! My experience at Geneva Shell was phenomenal! I will sure come back again!

i went in after my gas fill up ask for the air pump code and then she tell me you have to buy gas for the air pump or you will need to pay 50 cent. So i went back to my car to get the receipt and went back to get the code by then im already flamed up by their customer service on me. The way she tell me i have to pay 50 cent is like im a homeless. They gave me the code and she say your welcome to me because i didnt say thank you. Why? because the way they treated me make me feel like a dumb ass.
This is review for the gas station not the mechanic. The mechanic are nice folks.

Great local resource for an oil change. Friendly, knowledgeable and fair service.

I bought my first car a few months ago. And along with the purchase of my Corolla, I was in need of a trustworthy, honest, and reliable mechanic to keep my car in good shape. So I decided to Unilocal local auto shops. Geneva Shell Auto Repair stood out from all the other repair shops. The reviews I read claimed that Vahid, the shop manager, is honest, professional, and experienced. They were absolutely right!
I took my Corolla to him because my car brakes began to screech. He told me that I needed to replace my brakes. He also let me know of other replacements and repairs my car should have performed immediately and in the future to make sure its life lasts as long as possible without pressuring me.
He also has very affordable prices and at very reasonable prices. I am a college student so I was gladly surprised when he gave me my estimate for the parts and labor. Vahid explains everything he is going to do and why very well to make sure you know what your buying.
To anyone in search of a mechanic, don’t hesitate to give Vahid and his team a try. I promise you won’t be a disappointed.

What can i say about a gas station?
Pros:
Its fairly clean…
Its near my house…
Cons:
More expensive then down the block
No tvs in the gas pump.
This review is what it is… lol

For over 10 years, I have trusted my BMW, my Lexus and all of my cars with Vahid’s great service, fair pricing and quick turn-​around. I have had my fair share of mechanics over the years and Vahid’s the best. He tells you what needs replacing and will tell you equally, what doesn’t need repair and when it should be replaced. I trust him and so, he gets ALL of my car repair business. Vahid and his repair shop gets my highest endorsement and I will continue to take all my cars to him for service and send the friends I care about to him, too.
Cars he’s worked on for me: BMW 528i, 325i, X3, Lexus GS 350, Toyota RAV4, Ford Probe GT.

This is my absolute favorite Shell gas station since I have moved here! The prices are always at an all time low compared to a lot of the gas stations around downtown, sunset, bay view, districts of San Francisco (I notice because I peek at prices as I pass by these stations). I will go here for car repair problems and gas from now on! Cheers!

Cheap gas prices!
This place is by far one of the cheapest shells for gas around my neighborhood which is around Excelsior, Ingleside, and Portola. I come to this one all the time and it has never disappoint me. Great place for gas in this bad economy if you are ever need gas around the area.
