(Filled-up 09/01/25 MO @ 12:30pm): These days, everyone is getting shelled by the price of gas!…read more Glendale's Pacific Ave. Shell gas station location was conveniently located on the 134 eastbound freeway offramp exit. Usually, I tried to fill up at Costco because they had the least-expensive gas around; however, circumstances led me here. The company was founded in 1833 by Marcus Samuel when he decided to expand his London antique business to try and sell oriental seashells as well, due to their popularity in interior design at the time, that ultimately laid the foundation of an import-export business. In the 1880s, his two sons expanded into the oil exporting business. In 1897, his sons renamed the company the Shell Transport and Trading Co. (hence, the logo) and launched their first refinery. On April 23, 1907, the company merged with Royal Dutch to form the Royal Dutch Shell Group (noted as Shell's birthday). Over the decades, the company expanded globally, launched new exploration programs, and found innovations. In the 1980s, the company grew by acquisitions. Today, the company has been met with many challenges from climate change to increased energy needs as it focused to be an active player as the world transitions to a lower carbon emission energy system. Was I shellshocked by the price!? PURCHASE(S) 87 Unleaded Gas ($59.50): I was below the ¼-tank marker and frantically dealt with some last-minute errands before I left town for work. I was the only customer at the time, so I easily pulled into a pump and fueled up immediately. After 13.314 gallons of gas at $4.469/gallon, my CRV was full and ready to go. SERVICE Unless there was something wrong with the pump you were at, the machine was out of receipt paper, or the credit card wasn't working, it was all self-service. Thankfully, my pump flowed quickly and finished fast. If I went inside the food mart, I'm sure I would've seen some employees. All was good and straightforward - thank you! PARKING (N/A) None specifically for the gas station (why would you need one anyway?). However, there were a couple of spots near and behind the food mart - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located along the high-trafficked main drag Pacific Ave., this was a medium gas station with fairly wide one-lane aisles all with long lanes that allowed you to pass around cars. It had a total of 8 pump stations (4 gas lanes with two pumps each). They had soapy suds, squeaky squeegees, paper towels, trash cans, and air & water stations. The pump stations were completely covered from the elements unless a hurricane or tornado headed towards you. And, there was a food mart for any snack. There were a couple of ways to enter/exit the area which alleviated the potential for any traffic jams. There was plenty of natural lighting during the day and plenty of soul-sucking fluorescent lighting at night. There were no TVs or background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=V7Kit6r2uTuBWdNPChpI0A ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Shell's Glendale's Pacific Ave. location served its purpose with its relatively comparable prices, its proximity to the freeway offramp, and the food mart in case I needed any snacks. However, I wasn't aware whether or not they charged for air or water which many stations annoyingly did these days. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $59.50 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Quick and easy, fueled up after returning from a weekend getaway…read more It was personable service, easy access restrooms for customers and they were stalked up on everything from chips to bottle cold things. There is limited pumps (only 8 in total) and space compared to other locations, but not bad at all. The gas is quality, not to mention a solid value in price per gallon compared to other gas stations nearby. Located just south of the 134 fwy on Pacific Avenue. It was a very smooth experience at this 24 hour Shell.

I've been using this car wash for two years, and everything had been fine until today. As usual, I…read morepaid the maximum amount -- $15 for the Ultimate Wash -- because it's important to me to get multiple wash cycles. I had barely driven inside when, after the first soap application (which had almost no foam) and a quick rinse, the machine displayed the "GO" sign, indicating that I should exit. I was very surprised and assumed it was a mistake. I pulled out, parked, and went to speak with the employee who had given me the receipt (this time I had to pay at the register because the machine wasn't accepting credit cards). I explained the issue to the cashier. He tried to assure me that everything was working as it should, but I insisted, and he said he would check the cameras. A few minutes later, he returned and said he hadn't noticed anything unusual -- in his opinion, everything was normal. I pointed out that there were fewer wash cycles than usual, that I paid $15 for the top-tier service, but in reality received not even the basic wash -- but a poor-quality version of it. I asked why I hadn't been warned that the wash might not be operating properly, since I wouldn't have chosen the highest-priced option otherwise. He responded that what I choose is up to me. Still confused by the situation, I once again explained exactly what had gone wrong. He asked how long I had been using this car wash. I said about two years. He replied that a lot has changed in two years -- the soap is different, the cycles are different. I immediately responded that I had used this same car wash just a month ago, and everything was fine. He said that he believed everything had worked properly this time as well. At that point, I realized there was no point in continuing the conversation. He didn't seem interested in listening and kept repeating what sounded like a memorized statement about how everything was fine. I turned around and left while he was again insisting that nothing was wrong. I did not receive a refund. I did not receive an apology. I did not receive any acknowledgment of the issue. I will not be returning to this car wash. For management: the employee who assisted me was a man in his 50s.

It just happened. I was asking for manager information after 10 minutes after I paid of him trying to explain to me in his very broken English that I have to pay for gas and car wash at the same time. I mentioned to him that I didn't know that and if he could adjust it for me and he had said okay I paid and then he started with the annoyingly horrible explaining of that's not allowed. I asked for owner information or manager and he looked down for a lie in his brain to form and said "oh he's on vacation" and I said how convenient. I asked the girl next to him if she could give me owner information and she said no and then he started speaking to her in their native tongue right in front of me. I said can you not speak in a language you thinkkkkk I don't understand and she seemed like a scared trainee that was terrified of pissing him off. He's way bigger than her and she just went along with what he was saying after he decided to explain to her in their native tongue what he wants her to regurgitate to me. I walked out without saying a word grabbed my receipt and I've filled up my tank as I wrote this review. The disrespect of this place and (also the horrible quality car wash because they started using cheaper ingredients in the soap) is WHY this place has horrible reviews. Everything could be improved. New staff would be the starting point.

There's no hot food section, and the prices are a bit higher than some other spots nearby. They also charge a $0.35 fee on card transactions, which can add up if you're coming in often. That said, the employees are truly amazing. Over the years I've built real friendships with them. They're always welcoming, kind, and consistent, and honestly a big reason I keep coming back is just to see them. The customer service here makes the place feel personal, not just another stop.

Once I filled up, I parked my car in one of the spots they have on the side so we could go into the store and grab some snacks. We also needed to use the bathroom - you have to ask the cashier for a key and the bathroom is around the corner and shared with the auto shop that is on premise as well. The bathroom here is kinda gross - no lights, no soap, and overall in bad need of better maintenance.

In a modern day and age sometimes you want to pay with cash as not only do you save in price per gallon, but you avoid using machines that are potentially tampered with. Also who doesn't enjoy a nice beverage or snack from the convenience store inside... Kind of impossible to enjoy any of those when the store is locked up with no sign or notice... Perhaps someone missed their shift and they couldn't find anyone to fill in? We usually only pop by to gas up and maybe for a snack... When there is someone physically present, the service is polite. I believe there's 12 pumps in total. Air & Water to the side like most gas stations and directly behind it is their Car Wash, which I guess is a hit or a miss. Everything is pretty modern and renovated. It's a pretty spacious 76 off Colorado Street/Pacific Avenue. Fairly reasonable prices among competitors.
