    Located off the corner of Lomita Bl and Crenshaw Bl in Torrance. This is one of the lower cost stations in Torrance. This one has a food mart and car wash as well. Only issue is getting in and out of this one from the Crenshaw side you really can't make a left off from the street due to double solid lines and the left turn signal where you can't make a u turn unless you do it illegally. Same when coming down from Lomita Bl if you miss the left turn lane at the traffic light you'd have to go down a block or so and come back down. Now getting out from either driveway you can only go right. Overall a nice station.

    Just visited this Shell Gas station this afternoon for a car wash. They are currently advertising "Check out our new car wash!" Due to the recent heat wave and messy rain we recently had here in Torrance, my car definitely needed a car wash. So since my regular car wash was closed today, I decided to give this one a try. I pulled up to the car wash, selected the "Ultimate" car wash, paid $13 using my card (the machine did not print out a receipt) and proceeded to go through the wash when I was next in line. The wash was touch-free; no large turning brushes, no giant flaps, no scrubs - it was simply your car being sprayed with various liquids. After the wash was done, I drove out and went to my next destination (I was running errands). While driving I couldn't help but notice my windows were still REALLY FILTHY. I decided to pull over to check the rest of my car. My car was still filthy (if not even MORE filthy than it was before I drove it through the wash). Dirt, spots, bird poop...just a mess! I guess that's what happens when they don't use brushes, flaps or rotating scrubs. Needless to say I am extremely upset that I just spent $13 on a car wash that made my car even MORE dirty than it already was! Since the car wash machine did not give me a receipt, I wasn't sure I would be able to ask for a refund (although I have video footage/proof). I really want my money back! I would NEVER RECOMMEND this Shell car wash to ANYONE!! I've attached photos from the wash and from after the wash. What a fucking joke! I want my fucking money back!

    Chech your fluids.

    Low gas price. Clean station. Able to get an extra gas discount , using Ralph points or car wash purchase. Air for tires. Clean water to clean windshield with working squeegees. Paper towels. Always have sodas, chips on special. Great place to stop.

    I have to say I really dislike leaving negative reviews but here I go....I work in Torrance and almost everyday pass this Shell. I really like the prices which are some of the cheapest around. Just a bit higher than CostCo but without the hassle of the long wait in lines. I usually pump and go using my Rewards Card along with My Shell Card for the lower rates. But on several occasions the printer fails to give me a receipt so I have to go inside and ask for one which I don't mind doing. But once I get inside the Clerks, all of them have this attitude as though they really DO NOT like their jobs. They never greet anyone including me with a hello, it's more like "yeah, what do ya need" I spend $75 to $85 per week and use the drive thru Car Wash every so often. Note to Owner: If you read this would you please tell your workers to smile once in a great while and let them know texting comes after Customers. The only reason I come here is because of the low gas prices otherwise I would not hesitate to take my business somewhere else.

    Dangerous car wash booth, if you press buttons too hard the whole system reboots itself and start all over again, had to insert code twice even though it said code accepted in the first time. The whole thing is slowing down the line and people wasting time in front of this barely working "machine". The gas price is good and car washing is decent but I doubt I'll be back for another wash here

    Hey guys the gas here is very cheap. These pumps work very well and they DON'T stop and go as other pumps do.   Harry Irvine

    This Shell gas station is very close to where we live and it's also convenient for me to stop at on…read moremy way to the 405 South Freeway off Crenshaw and 182nd. The prices at this Shell seem to be pretty reasonable and I like that I can save more money by using either my Fuel Rewards or Ralphs Rewards when I fill up. There is also a Mini Mart inside if you want to grab a drink, snack, or some Oil for your car which I needed during this visit. If you need a Car Wash you can select that option at the pump and you can choose which wash you want. I will continue coming to this location because it is one of the better Shell gas stations in this area.

    I would like to file a complaint against an employee at the Shell Service Station at 18910 Crenshaw…read moreBlvd Torrance CA 90504. I am a 70 year old husband of a 59 year old wife. My wife attempted to use the restroom at the Shell Station at the above location and was told that the restroom was out of service! We had just left the 405 South Freeway, after locating a Shell Station with a bathroom on the internet. Her need for a restroom was extremely urgent and she begged the attendant to allow her to use the restroom. He refused and suggested that she go to the restroom next door the "Starbucks Drive Through", which was the only other business in the area with the possibility of having a restroom. Unfortunately, after checking the Starbucks next door, she was informed that they did not even have a restroom at all, so she returned to the Shell Station Attendant to let him know that they did not have a restroom. After filling my car with gas, I plead with the Shell Attendant to allow her to use the out of service restroom, and he refused! Subsequent to my interaction with the Shell Attendant, my wife was forced to go behind the Shell Station to relieve herself, at no small amount of embarrassment to herself! The attitude of the Shell Attendant was callous, unempathetic and appeared to enjoy the suffering of my wife in this circumstance. We were not freeloaders wanting to use the restroom without paying for gas or other items available to purchase, instead we were customers. I would like to be contacted regarding this incident as it beneath the expectation of the Shell Corporation and its franchisees. Expected Resolution? What would you expect to be done if your wife was put through this ordeal? Franchisee of Shell Service Station at 18910 Crenshaw Blvd Torrance CA 90504: Edward Payden
