The Albany Shell gas station was one of my two favorite gas stations in Albany when I lived there…read more(2016-2019). I lived on Madison Street between Solano Avenue and Buchanan Street, so this gas station was SUPER close to me. It was in a perfect location if I needed to fuel up going to or returning from work/school and chose to take Marin Avenue. It was also a perfect location if I was off for a longer driving adventure and needed to fill my car's tank before heading out. Gas prices were consistently solid and the gas station on the whole cleanly. Pumping stalls were easy to pull in and out of. Yeah... the car wash wasn't very good when I used it. Though I was also trying to get off some sap that dripped on my car when I parked it under a tree near campus while at work one day. This was (and is) no ordinary sap, it is still on my car years later and requires some special (for me) supplies to get it off. So for the time being I have given up the fight and accepted the clear and horrible smelling tree sap as a permanent decoration on the exterior of my car. The car wash here did a decent job of getting grime off my car. Didn't hit every nook and cranny, but a good start leaving those places for me to clean later by hand at home.

Gas station with fair prices and attached mini Mart. Across the street from Club Mallard - a point…read moreof interest and at least for me landmark. Club Mallard is easy to pass by - but for me I recognize it as a landmark of sorts. Right next door you can find a gas station with fair prices. They are not the cheapest in town but they aren't two dollars more per gallon like some random gas stations. A small discount is given if you pay cash. I always use credit and I get a small percentage cash back. I think its a toss up - do what makes you happy - and for me that is a convenient streamlined payment process. I've never had any issues with credit card theft. I usually do tap to pay at a Chevron and I think that is harder for Kriminals to tamper with. I think its always best to take a pump that is closest to the windows of the minimart too. I don't know much about the minimart - I never went in. I hear that is the only place gas stations really make profit. Sort of like selling drinks at restaurants.

I could not find another Yelp listing for it, so I'm putting my review here. Said and Otto have helped us many times with our vehicles. They are very busy, but always take the time to chat and understand what is going on with our cars, as well as give us sage advice on how to keep them running optimally. We had a problem with an unknown noise coming out of our Subaru, and they spent quite a bit of time driving it around and disassembling suspect areas. We couldn't pinpoint the issue, but Said laid out all the potential worst-case scenarios, none of which were terrible, putting us at ease. I don't recall that he charged us anything. Another time our Prius had a flat, just before Thanksgiving, and even though they had lots of cars to work on, they still squeezed us in and got it going again so we could make our holiday travel possible. All pricing is very reasonable, and as far as I can tell, below what most others would charge. They are honest, and try to save you money by not doing unnecessary repairs. Very good guys, I highly recommend them!

The Solano 76 gas station and the Shell gas station on Marin Avenue and San Pablo Avenue are my two…read morefavorite gas stations in the Albany area. This station was perfect if my car was running on fumes and I was taking Solano Avenue home from work (sometimes on the way to work too). Prices were fair, typically on par with the other gas stations in the area. Maneuvering into the parking lot when driving on the same side of the road as the gas station is not too bad, but maneuvering in from across the street can be a bit hectic. Especially if coming during peak rush hour. There is a traffic light not too far from the station and a number of crosswalks, so make sure to double and triple check for pedestrians, cars, and bicycles when pulling in and out of here.

So I did with any self-respecting 75-year-old man being treated for cancer would do and told him screw you. He told me I better watch my language, so I repeated myself and flipped him the bird as I walked away. Again as any self-respecting 75-year-old man would do. He came outside the booth I guess hoping to intimidate me and told me to watch my language and started calling me an old man, etc. I told the story to a local merchant and she told me that he had been very rude to her and had refused a cash payment for gas. I would give zero stars if possible.

JoJo was so kind and patient with me!

I went back to my car, authorized it, came back in, and it declined AGAIN because I forgot to unlock my card. I was so frustrated and embarrassed, but JoJo never once got annoyed. He was patient, respectful, and understanding the whole time. Then he even came running outside when he noticed I was about to drive off with the gas pump still in my car! He probably saved me from a very expensive mistake. Great customer service and such a kind person. I definitely will be coming here from now on to get my gas , Thank you, JoJo!

THERE'S NOTHING BUT TRIBAL INCOHERENT INDIANS THAT WORK HERE THAT BARELY UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BUT…read moreKNOW HOW TO OVERCHARGE YOU The Indian guy that works here of a night, I think he stays sleep all night in the back stock room in the store. He'll help one person at the window and run away to the back . You come here in the middle of the night no one's never at the window you have to bang on the door or the window for someone to come out. Either they're in the back somewhere or they stay in the bathroom for hours. Also they love to overcharge you for items. They act like they don't know how much nothing there cost. And if you're not a regular customer and dont know how much the prices are they will try to overcharge you. But I know how much the prices are caise I shop here everyday. ITS MAINLY THE INCOHERENT INDIAN GUYS THAT WORK AT NIGHT THAT TRY TO OVERCHARGE YOU. Is sad enough they don't understand very much English you have to repeat the same thing about 20 times. You stand there at the window and point to the item that you want and the guy acts like he doesn't understand English. Every time a new Indian guy starts working here they don't understand a drop of English but they know how to overcharge you. They hire nothing but a tribal Indians here and they all barely understand English and you have to repeat the same thing 20 times every time you come there at night. I won't let these guys overcharge me because I'm a regular customer and I know how much stuff cost there. There's a new Indian guy that just started a week ago that tried to charge me $3 for a large cup of ice that I usually only pay a dollar for there. Also they even asked you for your PIN number to your debit card which they're not supposed to. I don't give out my debit card number. They're supposed to use a certain code to swipe your debit card but they want to play slick and ask you for your debit card number. These Indians are incoherent and they think they're slick and they laugh in your face. You have to watch them as they're adding up your food items they will sit there and argue with you and try to overcharge you. Especially the incoherent Indians that worked there overnight that act like they don't understand a drop of English, but they're good at overcharging you.
