This single gas station keeps getting listed on the top as at Calgary Gas Prices websites as the…read morecheapest place to fill up, and it is. It's usually cheaper than Cendex, Tsui TIna and any other gas chain you may use. You'll need a credit card or a debit card, as it's virtually entirely automated (I've like seen the gas attendant only twice ever!) and runs 24/7 as a result. It's admittedly in a dark, and a bit scary neighbourhood. If you're a gal, I really would keep an eye out juuuust in case if you ever decide to fill up here after sundown, as this area is virtually deserted in the night with few if any pedestrians combined with a high population of homeless and transients.

I get super paranoid when I go to this Shell, I think I have been watching way too many movies, but…read morebecause it sits on 17th avenue and 5th. And I usually fill up at night, I think someone is just going to come along during their evening of partying, light up a cigarette and throw the match in my vicinity as I am filling my car up with gas. Or the other scenario playing on a constant loop in my brain are the several park tables on its lot where I know people like to hang out; again the same image of me filling up and them throwing their burning match at my vicinity. I know, I know it is silly but I am constantly thinking that while I am there. Other than that, this station is really convenient for me; I can gas up whilst leaving my home or whilst returning home. The guys working here are fun and friendly too, they have a lot of regulars I notice that just come and like to hang around and chat with them. The last time I was in one of their friends/clients was moon walking in front of the cash counter. So to sum it up it's a clean, convenient stop for gas, car and transmission lubricants, plus my cardio gets its usual Tarintino workout.

The 17th Avenue Shell station is the secret headquarters of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Known…read moreas the Command Centre, the Rangers meet at this Shell station for long periods of time to discuss Ranger tactics with other Zord-o-cyclists. The Rangers patrol the YYC strip during the summer, which consumes a great deal of fuel. They are easily identifiable by their two-wheeled Zords and matching leather jumpsuits. In all seriousness, there are a lot of sport bikes at this Shell station. It's morphin' time. Form of... a triceratops!

I find it appalling that the majority of gas companies are charging for the air pump service!!!! Are they short on profits?

They threw out all my gas receipts for work and left a sticky residue all over the steering wheel. Rear bumper is covered in a dirty film. I won't be going back here any more, no one there cares about the work they do, nor do they put much effort into doing the job properly. Sad because it used to be a good place but so run down now with no professionalism.

Hey, if I could give them no stars at all, I would, but it's not an option. I dropped off my…read morebeloved car for a spring car wash with no apparent damages I could see, and I picked it up a few hours later with a long crack in the windshield. Now that's a surprise, when the cost of deluxe car wash was $94.49 with the GST, the driver's floor was not clean - justifying that they don't clean the "pedals", which has nothing to do with the floor, AND the cost to replace the windshield is to be determined, but I can guess. What a run-down service, with no customer satisfaction to speak of; not only I will never be going there again, but I highly recommend you do so too, especially if you care for your windshield. HA, HA, HA, they said certainly they didn't cause the cracking of my windshield because there was no other similar claim that day! Imagine what an excuse, as if they take responsibility ONLY if they have many claims of cracked windshield on a particular day. Plus, they don't offer discounts for such mishaps, they pocket full cost of the car wash, almost $100 bucks, and leave the rest on the "customer satisfaction survey" which does not exist for a good reason.
