Nelson has always been wonderful to me and to my cars…read more It breaks my heart that this place has some negative reviews, especially since many of them are about the gas station attendant and not the mechanics. I have sent 4 different friends here in the past 6 months and they have all been very happy with their service. Nelson is conservative, doesn't jump to replace things, will always recommend what can be done to repair. I wouldn't describe his prices as cheap, but they are fair, and certainly competitive with other reputable garages. I'll never service my cars anywhere else.

!!! BEWARE OF CREDIT CARD FRAUD !!!…read more Stopped by to get gas, went inside the store and swiped my card at the register. The credit card was new and has not been used anywhere else. On the same day, I was charged for $1000 of dollars of airline purchases I never made.

Good service, nice station but crazy prices!…read more At almost four dollars a gallon... Why Studio City? Why?... I pass by here a bit and it's never too crowded considering there are only eight pumps and the corner this popular Shell station sits on is on a triangular corner just across from the shopping center off Venture Blvd for Trader Joe's, Sephora, Mendocino Farms and several other shops and businesses. Great place for small gas station market items including lottery tickets and/or scratchers. The also sale large bags of ice here and cold beverages.

Don't go there! I made the mistake of returning the next morning and now the same lady was there. The story changed. Now she told me she didn't have the key the previous day and today her arm is injured and if I wanted propane I would have to fill the tanks myself. I told her that I wouldn't touch the equipment and she refused to fill up the tanks. She asked another friend of hers who started to attempted to fill the tanks, but had never done this before. This is such a liability. The worst gas station. I only went back because the owner is pleasant, but his employees are the worst.

Yes, sometimes it's very hard to navigate the gas station because of how crowded it gets. Yes, sometimes cards get voided by the register. None of this is the employee's fault. Chill, Yelpers, chill...it's all good here...it's the cheapest gas in the area...chill... Bond with the people behind the register. If you are good to them, they will be good to you!

I was desperate for gas, about to run out, so I pulled into the first gas station I could find…read more Unfortunately, the only station I found was probably the one charging the highest gas prices in the area. I had no choice at that point. The station was clean, but the gas pump handle I used had gum on it. I have no idea why someone would place their gum on the handle other than to be a jerk! Nothing more to say about this has station other than this is the most I have ever paid for gas, and it was not by choice but out of necessity.

If I was able to go elsewhere I would but I need a specific wrap they sell here, worst thing is I'm a DAILY CUSTOMER who comes here everyday and yet the cashier chooses to ignore me knowing dam well I'm sitting infront of the store waiting .. what type of customer service is this? It's no wonder they've got 1 star . Even saw a guy ask how long before he could get gas and the cashier got frustrated pulled the sign off the window and kept pointing at it not answering when he'd be off break , that guy also waited 15 min and ended up leaving. Finally I called the dam place to ask wtf and the cashier answers and says that sign is there for "the next guy and I could go get my wraps" I said ok then why didn't you say something then I've been out here dam near 40 freaking minutes!!!! WHY WOULD YOU KEEP THE SIGN UP KNOWING IM THERE TO GET THE WRAPS !! BEEN STARING AT YOU TO SEE WHEN YOUR BREAK WOULD BE OVER! Respecting your time and space and place of work but you have no respect for other people's time . I am so annoyed I will never come here again I don't care that I live down the street I've let many situations like this slide with this same cashier kid. I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars over the past 10 years I've lived here almost every day buying , redbulls, wraps , snacks and lotto tickets. I Am done.

Well, I have reached to that point after giving so many chances to this Mobil Gas Station with their incompetent, rude, disrespectful ignorant, arrogant, and the list can go on and on employees. In this business there are 3 male CHAUVINISTS working here. It is NOT their fault as it is the OWNER'S fault who I am assuming is to be John. Never met him before, maybe I have and I don't know who he is. Who cares? I have been going to this particular Mobil gas station for over 31 years, since it's close to my house and need to fill up my tank with their super expensive prices and is also right on Laurel Canyon, and I need to take that street to go up or down to get where I need to go. Shops, restaurants, etc... Since John took over this place, I don't know for how many years now, this place is nothing but bunch of idiots working in some kind of a basement/dungeon. Prices are high, Oil Is $15 which is too high. 2 gas pumps are always out of order, so I have to move my car to a pump that is actually working. Trash is always full at any of their gas pumps, When you ask for a little help, they turn you away with a rude attitude. Once, my engine was super hot, and that scared me, I asked one of those employees to take a look at it and he refused saying that he was the only one there, when he was chit chatting with another dude. There are hardly any customers getting, gas, or inside the store. The minute you walk in to request of any type of service, the man who is sitting in that small booth that you can hardly see their face, w/out looking at you or wanting to know what am I there for? Automatically raises his voice with racist remarks and bad attitude. Literally screaming at the customers. But only to WOMEN!! Once or twice, I really needed to use the bathroom, one of the 3 dudes..... they all look the same to me, yelled at me and said, go away, no restroom here when I see the restroom right behind him. I have been spending so much MONEY at this gas station over the years and I can't even use their RESTROOM?? I mean the list of their terrible behavior's of employees can go on and on and on!! I will rather drive 5 to 7 minutes away to another gas station and give them my business. Last but not least their rewards program is never working. Whether it's inside or outside and nobody cares and nobody wants to get up from that stool to help you!!!!!!!! Stay away from this Mobil Gas Station. Bad for your sanity, pocket, and health. In every way. If this continues, I will report them to HR and hopefully something will be done if they don't want this ridiculous place to go out of business like most businesses DO!! Get it together John, and your employees.

Stay away from here! Oil is $15 which is too high…read more Worst of all they do not have paper cones for adding oil. The employee made me an oil funnel out of a cig carton... it was better than nothing. I don't blame the employees but the owner. Restroom is also "out of order". I'll not darken this doorstep again!

What we really liked was the decor and ambiance which you don't find at most gas stations. Big beautiful Tuscan pottery are spaced between gas areas and the place has a Tuscan feel to it overall. There's a nice market, very clean and pretty restrooms, a car wash and a Valvoline oil change area. Impressed as gas stations are not the type of places I usually rave about. Thumbs up.
