    I am a 73 year old male. With physical disability issues. Normally my son takes my car to fill up and check the oil. However he went out of town on a business trip so I decided to handle the car myself. I needed assistance filling up and asked the Lady on duty if she could help. This lady was so helpful and nice, not only did she pump the gas for me she even checked the oil, then she noticed one of my tires was low. She showed me where the air was and then put the air in the tire. WOW. Very helpful and nice. I decided to get a car wash and she showed me where to go. When I exited the car wash she was waiting on me and waved goodbye as I left. A special thanks to her, I think her name was Elaine or Alaine. Customer service done correctly. Thank you very much.

    Its an auto wash machine... don't have to get out. $5 express wash although I had to go for the $10 all the works "make my dinner" and a bag of chips wash this time! LOVED the quality of this wash -- my car was SERIOUSLY dirty.. now it is seriously sparkly clean!! LOVE IT!

    WARNING: I've been using the car wash for the past three years and never had a problem with it until they replaced/renovated the machines. So disappointing to come home with soap suds all over my trunk! Picture was taken 1 minute later...

    CAR WASH only. So we all know how much I love the $5 wash. I bit the bullet and purchased the $10 wash. IMPRESSED! I uploaded a picture (not the best of circumstances: it was from inside my car at night) because the visibility had gotten so ridiculous, I couldn't wait another second to clean it, pause for proper photo ops etc. So, when you see the picture it is very important that you know that it was not raining, nor had it rained any time recently. I had just been low on funds and indecisive as far as which cleaning establishment to patron. So! I could BARELY see out of my car, I got the $10 wash and I swear that puppy was brand new. It got EVERYTHING. I mean we are talking months of bird yuck etc etc. Spotless. Hands down best drive thru wash I've been to in recent memory. I am told not all Shells have such great facilities, so only go to this one. Give it the challenge. I still prefer the $5 wash for obvious reasons, but it's nice to know I've got a quick and effective alternative.

    See all

    Most expensive gas in San Diego total rip off I can't believe the station still in business charging these prices. Go to Arco $.50 lower.

I usually come here for a quick, fast , and affordable car wash, and it is convienently located near me. The gas area is tight and limited, but eventually, you can squeeze in even on a busy day. They have quite a few gas pumps and some store parking up front for the personnel, not needing gas. Inside the store is spacious and clean and they sell many drink varietys and snacks. They offer alcohol beverages and tobacco products as well. As for the car wash, it is built in the same space as the gas station. You can easily pay for your car wash while pumping gas, or you can just pull up to the car wash area and pay with a debit/credit card. There are 4 options for the car wash ranging from basic to deluxe, and this time, I went with the standard basic option. The car wash uses high-pressure water soap and also has scrubbers to get your car looking beautiful. The dryer has vents blowing from the left side and right side with a 60-second timer. At this time, you are allowed to change from park to drive and slowly go through drying off all excess water. Overall, it is a great gas station to go to and pick up some snacks and gas for the road and, of course, a car wash to get your fresh ride looking squeaky clean. There is a vacuum and air for your tires in the station for an additional cost. The customer service is always good, and the service is fast as to where you're in and out to continue your day.

    Worst experience of my life…read more First off I went to get my car washed, and the card reader wouldn't work multiple times so I clicked help. Denise came out to help me but she came right up to my window so I pulled it up because I can't be that close to somebody. However I opened the passenger side window and when she was on that side she was very upset and ignored me. And then kept walking inside despite me continuously saying help Please help Please help I then click the help button again and somebody with blonde hair came out who kept telling me to put the card in as I continued to share that I was charged multiple times already and then it finally went through. I called in to talk to the manager, today is Monday October 21st and it was 7:40 a.m. that I called. He and the rest of the staff continued to misgender me and mispronow me and talk over me. And continue to yell at me. And when I asked him will you please let me finish what I'm sharing or you going to keep talking over me. And he just kept yelling at me and I said I'm going to put a Yelp review if you're not going to let me finish and he goes go ahead and put a f****** Yelp review This is self-service You're lucky we even helped you and I just hung up before I could hear the rest of what he said. This was an incredibly awful experience. I've been using this gas station as the only gas station I use for gas or for my car wash for over 20 years and I can't imagine ever coming back again after that horrific experience.

I stopped in just to grab enough fuel to get me through a few days until I can fill up somewhere cheaper. That said, the service was genuinely great. The attendant was friendly, smiling, and had an upbeat demeanor that made the quick stop pleasant. He rang up my prepaid gas correctly with no hassle. One tip I always share: use cash when buying gas anywhere. Card readers and even tapping your card can be sketchy these days, and cash just feels safer. Overall, it's clean, convenient and reliable. The only reason it's not a full five stars is the price, which is consistently on the higher side. Convenient if you're in a pinch but definitely not my go-to for a full tank.

He's super friendly and welcoming, and so surprised he remembers me and my points (ExtraMile app) ...his employees have always been so helpful. And the COFFEE! is always fresh!!!!! I will come just for a cup of coffee sometimes, don't even need gas. It's clean and organized. I went to the one across the street once and was ignored as I walked in and stood alone in the store with no employees on the floor for awhile til I got greeted and acknowledged. From their customer service to their coffee this Chevron great and recommended!
