I was very impressed with the quality customer service provided by every staff member. They are friendly, hardworking & give superior service. From beginning to end. It was my first time I went there & they were very detailed in the instructions & provided multi discounts because I fueled & washed car. This was my second time & it was even better. They truly know how to top the competition. I used to go to vista palms car wash before because I prefer the attention to customer service instead of the self service car wash but ever since I found this new place I have changed locations.. They are more cost effective & do an even better job by providing complimentary packaged car clothes to used as one pleases . In addition also include a perfect designed car freshener as part of the car wash. To top it off they even give token for free vacuum . read more

Stopped by to get oil change. I was acknowledged right away by service area staff and offered coffee/tea Guy explained process and welcomed questions, Great customer service!! read more

I started coming here for car washes because I was driving Uber and Lyft the attendant at the entrance to the car wash is always so friendly. I miss the free cloths! I have also taken advantage of the $29.99 oil change and often will upgrade my oil type or do an oil flush. There is one mechanic/service advisor. He is Asian, and he is an amazing person quite often when I'm having my oil changed he will make me aware that my car is also due for another service and he'll quote me the price for service and parts. Even one time my tail light covers were cracked and he was able to get replacements at an excellent price. I feel much more comfortable and confident bringing my car here for auto repairs then I do the dealer! At Coronado Shell they are not trying to make extra money from you. They are just helping you keep your car running safe. My check engine light came on about a month ago and I've got to go there and see what's happening because my car is out of warranty, and I am too afraid to even drive it on the dealers lot and ask about the issue! I know that the mechanics at Coronado Shell even the owner care about me as a customer, whether I'm buying a can of Coca-Cola five dollars worth of gas or $500 and necessary repairs! read more

Good job I had my oil change and smog there The there are good and knowledge Thank you read more

This is my favorite place to come to for carwashes and Car Maintenance even if just for an oil change the mechanics are honest and forthright and always keep your best interest in mind the manager owner is very honest and looks out for you this is the one place a woman can come to and not feel like she is being taken advantage of by maie mechanics, They get you in and out quick for an oil change so you are back on the road taking care of business I will continue my visits to Coronado Avenue shell for carwashes and vehicle maintenance maintenance thank you so much for being so professional read more

Very rude manager. (Not very bright either) they don't seem to comprehend basic English. Combine that with their lack of desire to be helpful and you have a recipe for frustration. Oh and beware when you use their credit card machine at the pump, it overcharges you and their response is, "If you choose to use the outside machine and something goes wrong it's not our problem." read more

Rudest cashier ever! This guy was such an ass to us. Because he got busy he kicked out our group because we were "blocking the bathroom door" hello! We are trying yo purchSe!! Well he lost our business . read more

I love to get my car wash at this place! People are friendly and prices are great! Definitely keep going back!

Ed is the most caring person at this Shell Station. He walks the extra mile just to attend to his customers, especially if you need your car serviced. I run to him everytime I needed something and I feel kind of guilty for doing that, I should exchange pleasantries just because we've known him since the gas station opened in 1985! What a pleasure to know someone like Ed!!! read more

I have been taking my vehicles to Coronado Shell for18 years and am totally satisfied with the quality and skill of their mechanics. My Father has been taking his vehicles to Coronado Shell for over 30 years when it was under previous ownerships and still does under current ownership. When I take my car in for servicing and recently to replace the water pump I see the owner, Ed who greets me and asks about my father and family. The mechanics are skilled and the prices are reasonable. A good auto repair shop is really important to me almost as important as a good physician and dentist (almost).... I've taken my vehicles for servicing closer to my home (Alpine) and wasn't impressed and paid more for what Coronado Shell charges. I recommend them and will continue having my cars serviced and repaired there. read more

Don was very kind and compassionate. He didn't treat me as a way to make a buck and he provided the service I needed based on my situation. Highly recommend this business. read more

Family owned and very nice people that works there. Service is relatively cheap and precise. They will always be real with you. I always get my carwash here for their special which is cheap and you can go multiple times a month if you want. read more

To begin with I felt the repair they did on my car was too expensive. I felt too that the job took a bit longer than it should have. I only went there because they were suggested by AAA as only 2 mile from where I was. The transmission gave out on me 2 months and 2000 miles after the warranty expired. I felt they could have offered me some sort of deal to win me back. a thus one star instead of 2. I'll not go there for any reason, nor would I suggest them to anyone. On the positive side. They did give me a ride back to the house. The driver was plesant. The shop appeared to be clean. I've used Shell gas in the past and as I recall got good mileage. Had my Transmission not crapped after the warranty expired they would have been a solid 3 stars.I really don't like rating a place only star but I'd hate it if a friend went in expecting a 4 star experience and only got a one star experience. Well yelp said "Oh yeah! that's the way Elites do it- way to represent! So I'm done. read more

super friendly employees and I love that the gas is 20 cents cheaper per gallon when getting a carwash :)

I and a business trip with a last minute need to have my car serviced. The mechanics were so understanding of my sense for urgency that they treated this with priority. My car was ready within two hours! They even had my car cleaned looking brand new!! I couldn't believe how professional the staff were and understanding!! My car was also working like brand new. I truly felt like a VIP! The owner even called me later the same day making sure I was satisfied with the service! I would recommend this place not only for their quality service and timeliness, but dedication to customer service as well. Simply amazing! On a separate yet somewhat related note, I couldn't help but notice how much the owner looks like the late Robert Kardashian Sr.! :) read more

The BEST Car wash in San Diego!! Great prices! Great value ! And the costumer service is exceptional! They always ask if you need anything offer a coin and a towel and they gave me a great deal because I have two cars signed up!! Luay always gives the best costumer service and is very polite!! read more

Not going back to get a car wash, i paid at the machine with my card and then the machine freeze so the guy goes and tells me that it didnt receive the payment and that i had to go inside to pay again for it. I asked him if i get overcharge would i get my money back, he said "yes" so after my car was finish he went to the other side and told me to go pay once again so i parked my car and went inside to pay in cash so three days later i notice i got charge in my card for the car wash so i paid $10 for a $5 car wash and i went back to tell the guy that i got charge in my credit card and the responds he gives me is "oh you already paid for your car wash you have 15 days to use it" and i talk to another person in there and he gave me the same answer so i just took off i got rip off at this gas station. read more

They have always been on the mark when it comes to diagnosing issue and upfront about cost. They have always completed my services on time. I have everything done here from normal service to engine overhaul. read more

I go to this gas station for anything car related from change oil to car wash to gas. I love their deals on car washes and a discount on gas. When you get a car wash employees always hook it up with free towels and air fresheners. Service is friendly and will accommodate you for anything. read more

My go to place to wash my car. I haven't got my car serviced here. $5 for the car wash with a free vacuum. Also the guys are really sweet and funny when they hand dry your car after. read more

Resolved my issue promptly, excellent customer service!

My experience today at the Shell Coronado was great! My truck broke down and I had it towed to the Shell Coronado repair shop. Jorge was extremely helpful and friendly. They diagnosed my issue very quickly. And had it repaired within the same. I am very pleased with their work and the price was very fair. I am self-employed and my work depends on having my truck. They had me up and running within the same day so that I could get back to work. read more

The guys here really care. I think his name was Don. He needs a raise. Never ever had I walk into a auto repair place and was told I didn't need a particular service. No I don't know about regular car maintenance and It shows. I watch youtube and google what I can but the fact remains I know I get ripped off on the regular. Sad fact but true. The level of honesty that took earned my continual business. Thanks guys at Shell. read more

Best car wash in whole San Diego great customer service especially Luay he's always awesome!!! read more

Coronado Shell - Gas Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been coming here for years and everyone treats us like family! Affordable prices for gas, carwash, cigarettes and car maintenance.

Troubleshooting my car's issues My car is from Massachusetts an I was having a hard time getting it to pass smog after several mechanics and over $1,000 I took it to Shell. I didn't really want to pay $90 for a diagnostic test but my car had now broke down on the freeway an I got it towed there so I really didn't have a choice. PHEW - What a great experience, he only fixed what was broken. He found parts that were cheaper but still quality. He explained to me why my car wouldn't pass smog. I needed a fuel pump (how knew). UGH!!! While it is an expensive repair (fuel pumps for my old car are not cheap), being able to register my car after 5 years of it being in CA was worth it! Thank you guys. OH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY. It took longer then they thought it would. When my car overheated it caused a part of the engine to bend and break, also the fuel pump didn't go in as smoothly as planned. So it took extra time but the price didn't go up because of the mechanics working on it longer then the initial allotted time as it has in other shops. I appreciate that we agreed on a price and it stayed that price. They called me along the way to let me know that what things were indeed broken and what things were salvageable. read more

Zero stars if I could, negligence In their work when I had them change my pulley sprocket, costed around $1200. They used wrong parts which costed $2000 more in damage and repairs and when confronted about the problem to the manager he did not accept that his work caused the damage and refused to even listen to what happened to the vehicle because of the work I had them do. Now involved with the B.A.R. and reporting them. Do not make the same mistake I made just because they're AAA approved. read more

I came in on 2/3/15 for an oil change and felt so welcomed and we'll taken care of! They had me in and out within less then an hour because they knew I was on my lunch break from work. They kept updating me on what actions were being taken and gave me a free car wash. The owner is sooo friendly and welcoming who comes out to meet all the customers with a smile and shakes your hand. It was such an impressive service that I decided to come back again on 7/13/15 for another oil change on my lunch break and met the same exact expectation as my previous visit. Highly recommend this place based customer service and skilled me mechanics! read more

Love the unlimited monthly car wash! Also love the sensor sticker they put on the window for quick access and time-saving. Free drying cloth and vacuum for Diamond level. Great staff, including Luay. I would give this a 5-Star, but I think the protection for the rims when entering car wash could be improved. In addition, the gate guard accidentally came down on my car. Other than that, great, friendly car wash. read more

Great gas prices. Usually 20 cents less than Shell stations near where I live. Luckily this station is close to work. Then you get at least 20 cents off for a carwash. Luis and the other guys that man the carwash are great and hand dry your car. Never have used the oil change or service department. read more

It was my first time going to this location so I was lost, but one of the workers was kind enough to take me to the right place to get my car serviced. After the service was done, my car felt like it was running a lot better than what it did before. Loved this great service! read more

I have been washing my car there for 3yrs. They have a good monthly special that you can take your car as many times as you like. The staff is always friendly. Especially Luay he always greets you and asks how you are. I like how they give you a towel and token to vacuum your car. Thank you very much. read more
