Don't go here waste of time the card machine is not working all the time you will have to wait for cashier to reboot.

Been going here for the last four years for oil change, the workers work fast and efficient. Never had any issues with the quality of service. read more

Rude , very unprofessional and definitely give a bad name to shell company . Highly advise they treat people with respect since they do use the shell name on there business . read more

They charged too high. The price for engine oil change was the same as the original price even though I brought 6 qt engine oil and filter. Really it doesn't make sense. Also they didn't know how to delete maintenance alert. It was so terrible. read more

Great service and affordable price on change oil. Keep it up. I recommend this place .

I'm never getting oil changes here ever again. I found out through my mechanic what a shit job they were doing. Now I have all these issues with my car that were preventable. Oil leak. Low coolant level. Someone was using fucking teflon tape. read more

Their service seems to be generally ok. However, their pricing seems to be weird. They charged me $45 with oil change using regular oil when their signage outside says "$34 for most cars". Also, they declined to do tire change saying that they did not have time for that. Not sure how long it takes to do that service. But, they seem to be picky with the service they choose to perform. read more

If it was possible I would not even give 1 Star to this place because they are scamming customers. I have gone to this place many times for oil change mostly. At first it was $30 or $35 for corolla, I remember I did my scion for same price too. But next time for my scion he charged me $45 because he said synthetic oil this time. I was like I thought you told me synthetic oil last time too. He said no, I said okay paid. After that I didn't trust what oil they put in my car, so I bought my own oil and filter and had them put it for $15. Next time I was lazy to go get oil and filter so I paid $45 oil change with synthetic oil, later I put synthetic on Toyota too for $45 same day. Today I went for oil change he charged me $50 for oil change and when I asked why he said Toyota and scion different engine. This place rips you off and says whatever price they want. I would not recommend this place. What's the guarantee that they are actually even putting the oil we are paying for. Also today I was told $45 when I gave my keys at first. I reported them to bar for scamming. The funny part is they know they fucked up and where just happy when I said I will pay and go. Because I really didn't wanted to pay them. read more

I came here on February 26, 2022. I came for an oil change. It was about 12 noon. There was not that many people. One of the workers there knew I was next but But helped other people (Asian primarily) first. In all honesty I think this place is racially bias. read more

I have been coming here for oil changes used to pay $35 it went up to $50 as of last month. I took the same car back today it was now $60. Confused me but I said no problem. After giving the key to another tech he said $65 . I respectfully said can you ask him about the price he just told me. He responded rudely "it's $65 you want it or not" honestly shocked at the unprofessional. read more

Not particularly cheap, but all the mom and pop shops nearby close way too early on weekends (or just aren't open period) and that becomes an issue when weekends are the only days you can do maintenance for your car. They knock out oil changes super quickly. Again not ideal prices but time is money and I was in and out for my oil change on a Saturday afternoon. read more

My go to spot for our oil changes, start at $17.95. It's a gas station with a service garage so there is no waiting area except for a round table with 4 chairs set between the pumps and the door where u pay, very easy to get ran over. So if your getting something other than a quick oil change i suggest u leave your car. Service is usually fast for a simple oil change. Employees are polite and fast. Cant beat the price. read more

Really honest and helpful every time i visit here. All elderly korean grandpa working here and they will advised you about your car and what should you done now or not!! This place is not looking for make money at first place but only considering your car and make sure right timing to do it!! I trust here 100% and of course all my family will be keep coming this place for our car!! read more

Thanks to Paul for a Oil Change on 2018 Honda Accord Sport. Other fluids were checked also and the service was great for $50

Pump did not work the first 3 times: inserted card, ok, tried to pump, nothing. Repeated twice. My son went in, prepaid. Worker came out and had me sign receipt (which is why I gave 3 stars, not one. I am currently injured and had the handicap sign up). Window washer had nothing but water, so of course, it did not clean my window. Gas was less expensive than Arco down the street. read more

dudes change prices all the time . if you are a female you def run the risk of upsell. dudes are rude as hell but it is cheap for smaller cars. def will always try and push synthetic even if your car runs on conventional. take a dude with you and research how much oil your car takes becuse they will add a extra if you dont catch it. also know your oil and type and take all valuables out.. they are def scumbags read more

I did my oil change with you guys last week, everything was great but the guy who changed my oil didn't put the cap on to cover the hole where you put the oil in. I like doing my oil change with you guys but please don't forget to cover the hole after the oil change! My car almost blew up but good thing I found out the cap was not on and was able to put it on. Please don't forget to put the cap on next time I do my oil change!!! read more

I love coming here my oil Changes, but I took a star off because the last time I came they left the oil rod not loose, not completely closed causing my check engine light on. read more

4th Review on Nick's Shell! How funny. 4 reviews on an itty bitty little gas station. Why? Because of its fantastic NAME! A name sure says a great deal about a place. I got gas here once. Nothing special. Same gas as anywhere else. I had to use the bathroom. I had to go inside and get that nasty dirty key full of everyone's bathroom germs. Same as everywhere else. Bathroom is kinda grose and they use that same towel that everyone uses and reuses. This place is just like any other gas station. It does have that little store on the inside for your emergency needs. It also has a service garage. Again, what a great name for a gas station! read more

When it comes to inexpensive and reliable gas in the Artesia and Cerritos area, I often go to this Shell gas station especially on Sundays where the price seems to be a few cents cheaper. I also noticed that my car runs better when I get my gas from Shell as opposed to Arco, 76, or Valero. It is convenient to the 91 fwy and is easily accessible from Artesia Blvd. or Pioneer Blvd. Plus, it is a safe area that is well lit and located on a busy intersection. I don't know who Nick is, but he must be doing something right because the gas prices are the best in the city! read more

I could see why people gave this place such poor reviews. Most of the mechanics here are Korean and hardly speak English, thus coming off cold and rude. However, since I'm Korean, I'm used to this kind of service and don't take it personally. Despite the non-existent customer service, this place has reasonable prices for an oil change (synthetic oil for my Prius C for $35) and mine got done in 20 min! Wow, I was really impressed. read more

I have been coming to this location for SMOG checks for a few years now. I honestly cannot say if I have met Nick in person but he does have a few associates that I have worked with. Keep in mind, they are just there to get the job done. They are not there to be your friend or sweet talk you during your visit. With this in mind, I never really have anything to complaints about their services. They are quick, efficient and reasonable in pricing. I paid $50 for my SMOG and digital cert. I will continue to come here for my SMOG needs. read more

Met with incredibly rude service and overall negative time just trying to get an oil change.

Great, fast service, honest people. I usually go here for synthetic oil changes for my 2010 Prius. Price is very affordable too at $65 with air filter. I do walk ins and they still finish in 15-20min. I'll continue coming here, great service and affordable. read more

Decent gas station. Would have given 5 stars but they've added an option at the pump before you can select your gas. Takes longer. It's a pet peeve. read more

This place is not good any more. Run by shady people now. If they did good work I wouldn't care, but not only do they keep charging me for extra things, the work they did permanently messed up my car. read more

i used to have oil changes and auto repair done at Purrfect Auto Shop,then i switched to Nick Shell Service cos they are honest,fast and very good services. Now each time i needed a maintenance i go to Nicks Shell read more

Last weekend, I had to do an oil change and the maintenance light had lit up. I dropped my car off and told them I needed an oil change and left my car in their hands. After 1 hour, I came to pick up my car and the owner told me that he also changed the filter and also fixed the maintenance light without me telling them. read more

*WARNING* Do not get your car fixed here!!* They ripped me off because "i'm a girl" and i don't know anything about cars. They claimed to have replaced something in my car and charged me $100 something. Later the next day, i tried to turn my car on, and it wouldn't turn on. My friend's bf, who knows a lot about cars, checked my car out and noticed that they didn't replace anything. So i had to call the guy from shell gas station to come out to my house and he fixed it. Do not go thereeee! i am warning you!!!!!! Stay way. I only wish I stood up for myself and got on their ass about saying that they didn't do what they were suppose to do instead of being so passive -_- read more

Just got my brakes done. I pulled up to Shell garage. Not busy! So relieved, especially on Friday after work. Sean is great! I just told him my problem and he started on my car. He told me the problem and quote. Honest and direct. Sean said he can do the job tonight. I waited 1 hour and my car was done. Love this place. It's my second time coming here! I am a satisfied customer. If you're looking for honesty, reasonable prices, and fast service, NICK'S SHELL SERVICE is the place to go for your car! read more

No, just don't go there. Several times, I went there for oil change, they get you with cheap oil change service fee, they showed me dirty oil from engine and told me that the oil from my transmission was dirty and asked if I wanted to have my transmission oil changed. They asked me every time I went there, I denied because I knew they tried to riff me off but I saw several people took the bait, especially women, not saying that they do not try that trick with men. I think they are just down right dishonest. DONT"T GO THERE. read more

WARNING RIP OFF!! Do not go to Nick Shell Service for any type of automotive repair. My mom brought her car into Nick to have her car fixed to pass for smog inspection. He quoted her $450 max (includes parts and labor) to fix her car to pass smog inspection. I took her to pickup her car from Nick Shell Service and Nick gave us the total... $674.44. I was surprised that it was over $200 more than what was max quoted! What a rip off!!! Never again will I let my mom visit this establishment and warn other people to visit this place. Save your time and money and take your business elsewhere. read more

Best Gas Prices in Cerritos...well technically it's not in Cerritos, but you know what I mean. The arco down the street on Norwalk technically has really amazing gas prices, but uhmmm tell me why I can't last 3 days when I fill up there! Plus everyone is really nice here! :) I get my oil changes done here too! :) I've been coming here since I was 16...so...yeah...a long time...HAHAHAHAHA read more

This is my secret spot for gas on the weekends only because their prices are lower than any other gas station on Sat & Sun. I've also had my oil changed here before but had to wait a LOOONG time because of the wait. I usually ask them how long and they tell me so I can wander off across the street and come back when it's ready. The owner of this place is really nice, too! read more

Very good and fast oil change service. Recommended to everyone. They check everything and tell you what else you car need. Very honest people. read more

Absolutely rude people there. NEVER GO THERE Unless you absolutely cannot recognize dishonest and LIARS. This place is full of CROOKS and LIARS! If you ask questions then the owner of this place Nick will start shouting on you. This is what happened to us recently. My friend visited this place to fix her car which had check engine light. It took them three weeks to figure out what is wrong with the car but they were not able to fix the car fully. They charge $50 to diagnose with their shitty computer and $100 to fix a $0.99 hose. When we asked if they can fully fix the car or not then Nick got mad and said "What I see wrong I'll fix first then we'll see if that can fix the problem or not." He has no idea what he was talking about. They don't even know how and where to fix the car for a particular OBD code. Their work is trial and error. And MOST IMPORTANT... if you are a woman then AVOID them, as other reviewers mentioned, THEY DO RIP OFF WOMEN. NICK is totally UNPROFESSIONAL. I wish I could give them -5 (Negative 5) stars but the system won't let me. And this one star is for Sean who was trying to work with us and was professional enough in talking and answering questions. NICK... I do understand your language when you asked Sean to move my car. Don't think your customers are stupid and you can act like a$$h0le. read more

They steel your parts and they try to show the bad air filter and cabin filter which they always have one which is dirty and they try to make you change it . Be aware of it read more

This place did my oil change and service was fast! 27.00 for an '07 Honda Accord coupe v4 The reason I give it a 4 stars and not 5 is because I expected the inside store to be better well stocked. There were products still in boxes not on the shelf yet read more
