    This is Jasbir. He stole $40 in cash from us since the gas pump wasn't working, and he refused to refund our cash. STAY AWAY!

    We've been to this gas station numerous times (at least once a week) without incident. This last time around, I handed the attendant, Jasbir, $40 in cash and went back to our car to pump gas. The pump wasn't working, so I went back and told him. I figured it hadn't been re-set. He told me try using the open pump behind our car. So, we backed up the car and tried again with this different pump. Still didn't work. I asked him to come take a look at the pump which he begrudgingly did because it was late at night (however, there were a bunch of other gas station customers present). He then said I had already pumped the gas, so that's why he couldn't re-set anything. Huh? We were barely there for a minute - definitely not enough time to pump $40 worth of gas into the car. He refused to give me a refund and told me I needed to talk to the manager about it another day. Well, I can definitely tell you that WE WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE EVER AGAIN, and we will warn all of our neighbors in the area about this employee, Jasbir. STAY AWAY!

    Yes girls get gas sometimes lol. My main man Avo usually fills up the tank for me but I was out in the area shopping so had to do it myself today :/ Good experience though. I actually asked someone to help me because I'm not good at the gas nozzle. So thank you guy with the dad haircut and truck!

    See all

    Really don't need attitude for answering a simple question from a customer. If you don't like your job find a new one.

    I believe the owner is there also as I always see the same gentleman in the shop nearly every time I go.

    Shell Gas Station

    This review is for Victor, the Russian Mercedes mechanic at this gas station…read more I am an owner of several vintage Mercedes cars. I have gone through four different mechanics in the last 15 years who specialize in Mercedes. My last mechanic was Jorge, from Mr. MB Motors in Tarzana, the legendary Master Guild Mercedes mechanic. When he retired, I decided to go local I chose Jack from Jack's Tri-Start Motors in Glendale, on San Fernando. Jack is a good guy, who absolutely knows his shit, even and especially on older Mercedes cars, and can diagnose problems instantaneously. However Jack is too expensive at $125 / hour. Case in point, for one of my newer Mercedes cars, the intake manifold developed a crack The entire manifold needed to be replaced with a new one. Jack diagnosed the problem, no joke, in less than one minute. His cost of labor was $500. So I happened to walk-in on Victor doing the same job on one of his customers' cars one day at Shell. He charged me $300 plus I supplied the parts. This is how I got introduced to Victor as a mechanic. Victor owns two vintage Mercedes diesel cars, as do I. I brought him my old 300d turbo diesel, and had him do a valve adjustment Right price, and service from a guy who owns the same car as you do and knows his shit, and is local, is the trifecta you need for your car. So now Victor does all my old Mercedes. The only thing about Victor's place is, he has only two stalls. One stall is dedicated for smog checks, which can come in at any time, thereby shifting his focus. And the other is for repairs. Almost all car repairs he does, have to be one-day jobs max. Because he can't be occupying his work stall for more than a full day with a repair. When I brought him my Mercedes c230 for the intake manifold, he stayed until 8pm that night just to finish the job, because he had another scheduled repair the next day Jobs that Victor has done for my Mercedes cars: -intake manifold swap -fuel filter/accumulator swap -coolant flush/exchange -brake fluid flush/exchange -valve adjustment -window regulator repair -oil changes, gasket replacements -brake jobs -suspension work: shocks, struts, springs Recommend you try him out for the little things that you don't want to take to your Mercedes Indy mech who will charge you $125 per hour on labor. You will get good quality, attention-to-detail work from a Mercedes pro. Payment: You don't pay him directly. He gives you an invoice, and you take it to the Shell counter (where you pay for gas). Thus, if you wanted to pay with credit card, you can do so, unlike indy shops which charge you More to pay with A card. What I do is, I go to Ralphs (which has a partnership with Shell gas station) and buy Shell gift cards with my credit card (earning points on my card) in the amount of the repair price. I pay for my car repair with Shell gift cards, thereby earning both points and discounts of 20 to 40 cents off per gallon (!) on my gas. After you pay for your repair, the gas station will also give you a free drive-through car wash as well. Bottom line: Victor is a good, experienced mechanic, who knows his way around 70's, 80's and 90's (and newer) Mercedes cars. I've seen him doing w116 300sd's, and 2016 E-class cars. He prefers to work on Mercedes, but will take and repair other cars as well. He is essentially a mini-indy shop, without the overhead shop owners pay. My previous guy, Jack, has to pay rent at his shop in Glendale, and passes on his costs to you in his hourly rate. Victor doesn't pay rent (not that I know), so his prices are much more reasonable at $75 per hour, but sometimes he will cut you a break on his prices as well.

    Payed $10 for the Super car wash and it didn't even do the things it said. No wax No polish... my…read morecar had soap and water marks on it when it was done. Which means it only did water soap and scrubbed. And all marks and dirt on it. I already told them one time but unfortunately nothing was done.

    I know that the inside guy behind the counter is a little rough around the edges but it is a gas…read morestation. The car wash has been upgraded and works fine. There's always a line which is a pretty good indication that customers like it. The other part of the station is the repair bays where Victor is always working on vehicle. He's always busy and does good work. Whenever I need a smog check/test for our Volvo, this is where I take it. I go a day before and ask for the test and he gives me a next day appointment, like today. I went there at 2pm and was home by 2:30. I consider that a deal for $80.

    WARNING Do Not Buy…read moreCar Wash Especially at 615pm in my case I was filling my tank and got the option to get a car wash. Well the car needed it and I had time so I pushed "YES" so I PAID the $9 bucks. Unfortunately, when I finished filling the tank, pulled forward, and tried to enter the car wash---NO CAN DO Orange Cones, Signs, a parked car all announcing that the car wash was CLOSED So I went inside. No attendant in the store. So I waited. 5 min? 7 min? The attendant returned. "I was closing the car wash" Well, that makes sense. No problem, I understand. You had to close the car wash and I by chance had unfortunate timing. Just refund the $9 and I will be on my way NO CAN DO. The attendant was very nice and really wanted to help me. Unfortunately, only a manager can give the refund. My options: Return another day in the next two weeks for a car wash or a refund (if manager appears) So COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT The system has a kink. If you see time as money, you do not want to get stuck in this kink Better to get a car wash somewhere that has a work around for kinks And I am hoping the manager reads this and provides some kink relief The attendant did his best. I doubt I am the first to pay $9 for a 20 minute time delay and a new task on my to do list I decided to post this when, after I shared with my wife, she replied that the same thing had happened to her. Well, she told me a little late I hope I am providing a helpful service to you before you find the kink on your own time. NEXT DAY I went back this morning at 945am to use my car wash code paid for last night NO CAN DO The orange cones, the signs, and the blocking parked cars were all in place. What I did not see, was a sign indicating the OPEN hours.
