Car wash is cash only unless you go to register. I had no cash (it is 2025 people) and ATM fee is $3. Then you've gotta buy something ($1.23) because it's exact change. Ok back outside with a crisp Lincoln and Input my $5 in machine and didn't work. Had to go inside AGAIN! So $9.23 and T w e n t y minutes later I have a semi clean car. Yeah me. read more

Been using their express car wash for five dollars. I just wish their machine was easier to see the price and accepted cards but I figured out the first time and pressed the bottom button and it was the five dollar one. Just a quick note don't open up your window or door to pay until the car that's in the wash is completely done cause you're gonna get sprayed with whatever is being sprayed on the car at the time. It doesn't do a perfect job but I can't take my new car through a brush car wash because it will put swirl marks on it and this one is the most reasonable around for brushless. read more

If you're lucky, maybe 3 of the 14 pumps will be working. The rest are out of commission year-round. The Prices? 30% more expensive than all other stations in every direction. The fact they're robbing people you think they could maintain the pumps, but I guess not. read more

I was profiled while using a gift card at this location. The clerk; his name started with an R. He had never seen a gift card for the amount I had and demanded my id; wrote down my id number and took down my plate number. A total violation given I was wrongly accused. This was unprofessional and a hurtful experience. I would not recommend supporting this establishment. read more

Only one star because it's a QUICK FIX-quick wash and tire pressure. Which are a pain: I had bought a a car wash, waiting to use the car wash code with the 14 of being valid. Didn't work, and the guy would honor my $5 voucher! The car wash itself stinks. All water, and spends more time drying than cleaning. read more

This place use to be a great car wash. Sad they updated it only for the upgrades to be horrible. Now my cars do no come clean and the wash time does not seem to be as long as before. Prices went up and quality went down. read more

I don't know they cashier said that the car wah has no wipers and only sprays the water, so that it will not scratch the car. The cheapest is $5.00. But I have not tried it really. Because my car is usually very very dirty and some car washes leave it dirty, and I'm not trying to pay if my car is not going to be fully cleaned. So ill look into this whole car wash scratching deal. read more

Shell - Lomita - $5 CAR WASH - Gas Stations Near Me - Lomita, California

Looking for great gas prices.....well this is the spot, all the pumps here works and the property is very clean including the staff. Everyone here are very nice. This place have beer, food, drinks and chips I am very surprised how much stuff they have here. Come on down and pump your gas today these prices will not stay like this long. Harry Irvine read more

Good Shell, inexpensive car wash for a drive through they have several choices , however frequently when I have been in line the car wash has broken with a person in the stall. I've gone in and told the management once but now it seems as if the car wash attendant is there most of the time so he usually catches the machine malfunction. You can press the button on the panel and it alerts the clerk inside. The car wash attendant is really a nice guy and he does a super job at wiping down your car and windows and tires after. Don't forget to tip him! read more

I just really enjoy this Shell because they also have a Circle K and I like the soda and the fact the cups keep the drink cold (the cups are styrofoam though so the environmental friendly part of me is sad). Their gas tends to be more expensive than other locations so I don't get my gas here usually unless I am really low. All the workers are really friendly and that is a super plus! Their carwash also does the trick when you need a quick cheap wash. They really are a full service station. Not sure why people are giving them such low ratings, it must just be the gas, but overall they are great! read more

Shame on you Shell, I feel you deceived me, which I'm also seeing from the other Yelp reviews! This is the last gas station before I head to my house, and I use it a fair amount regardless of the price of gas - which is moderately priced, for the record. I've been reading about how cheap gas is getting, and I saw $3.25 for super premium. After pumping my gas, I was surprised that the amount of gas I calculated (a game I play with myself) was off based on the money I paid.. I'm usually good at this calculation game - side bar. Anyway, what I registered mentally was the flashing price they had for gas AFTER you also buy a car wash. WHAT?! Plus, it has been raining for 2 straight days, and was even raining when I got my gas! I ended up paying $3.45 per gallon, even with cash. Like a moth the light, the big red neon sign sucked me in! I get having a price difference for paying with a credit card versus cash - in this case, I felt deceived. As I looked really close at their gas board, and finally, I spotted a small... SMALL sign to the side which indicated the prices were 'with the purchase of a car wash'. Moving on... this location has a nice convenience store with all the things you might expect, lottery machine, a variety of drinks, and some food, etc. Did I mention they have a drive through car wash, LOL! The people working here are friendly and the physical location is generally clean. I also like that the pumps have paper towels, and good condition squeegee devices to clean your windows. DON'T BE TRICKED BY THE PRICE OF GAS! read more

This Shell is between a 2 and a 3 star, the location is very convenient and it has an easy in/easy out setup, the pumps are always clean and the card readers work consistently. My two negative comments about this place include the false advertising and the car wash. 1. The prices posted are not accurate, well they are if you read the incredibly small sign off to the side that says "with a car wash". If you see the prices at this station driving by add 10 cents to get the actual price. 2. The car wash is one of the best, but there is a guy (not sure if he's employed by the gas station) that offers to wash your windows after the car wash, he is a little aggressive and pretty much stands in front of your car until you basically have to yell at him to move. I don't like being hassled, I'm just trying to get a cheap/fast car wash. This turned me off so much from the car wash that I rarely if ever use this location to get a rinse even though I would save my 10 cents. read more

False advertisement. On sign displays 5.19 for premium and does not say anything about a carwash. There is a sign all the way to the back on the corner explaining the different prices. Maybe they should put that on the big sign . Shame on you !!! read more

This is one of those gas stations that falsely advertise the gas price. Never coming back.

This car wash was so horrible and even though they fixed it it's brushless it's terrible!!! Don't Waist your money!! When I asked for a refund i got treated so bad and of course I got the I give you another wash and that never happen they lied read more

Gas pumps are rigged. I stopped the pump at five gallons. I paid with credit card. The receipt showed five and half gallons, and the amount on the receipt was a dollar more than what it said on the pump. read more

This shell sucks so bad the lowest gas price is 4.00 all year round don't go here for gas your better of going to Costco

The most unprofessional gas attendant ever, rude, won't even help you, and is a complete liar. This gas station is a joke.

The good: they let me fill my tires for free without buying gas. They don't have ads playing while you pump The bad: price goes up 20 cents if you don't buy a car wash. Would call it a scam but it's listed on the sign. Basically you should never use this station unless you want to get a wash. read more

WORST WORST EVER. I'd give 0 stars if i could. This place is the biggest rip off ever. Long story short I put $13 in on my car that had 0 miles when I turned my car on the range didn't go up at all it was still at 0 miles. I went inside and told the clerk that there was nothing coming out of the pump. He fought with me and said it was because my car was big and I needed to put at least $20 to see the range go up. I left with no gas and basically gave them $13 for nothing. read more

This is a very standard place to get gas. It's got all the amenities: a scrubber to "wash" your car while you pump, a drive thru car wash, a bunch of candy, and staff that aren't creepy. Nothing special though. I mean, it's not like there are free camel rides. It's a gas station. Yup. read more

Just no common sense. I buy $92 in gas go in the store to buy twenty two dollars in groceries and grab a empty cup to split a protein shake that I am buying from them. They want to charge for a empty cup after $114 in purchase. Returned all the groceries and will not be filling up my gas or my companies gas here in the future. I explained to the teller you are losing money, quite a bit of money by charging for a cup that say costs a quarter. Company policy can cost you. Oh well will be driving our trucks a few more blocks to fill up read more

Do yourself a favor and don't go there! I've been there twice and both times had a horrible experience. Indeed the price you see on the sign is not the correct price (unless you are getting a car wash), but another problem is the Ralphs reward card program. The first time I walked inside to pay because I thought the price on the sign was not being reflected on the pump. I then learned the trick, buy the car wash! The second time, I decided to get the car wash to maximize my discount at the pump. After I paid for gas, car wash and gave him my rewards number, I get to the pump to have no discount at all!! Say what?!?! He reimbursed me the difference in money both times because I complained. I can only imagine how much money is this man pocketing everyday. Sad businesses still use this types of practices. read more

Don't go here. I only go to other gas stations, that are not Shell. I had a gift card. The cashier was very rude. He couldn't check my balance on my card. He said "See all these tickets? My boss will ask me what all these tickets are for in the morning!" That was his response for checking my balance on my gift card. He basically yelled at me. These people will rip you off. Gas was $3.59 for the 87 gas, as of July 1st. When I get my receipt for my gift card, I was charged $3.79. My gift card was only pre-authorized to pump gas. Ii pressed the 87 button, thinking I would be paying for the $3.59 gas, but instead was charged $3.79. I will be reporting this gas station to this website https://oag.ca.gov/antitrust/gasoline/complaint The clerk gave me a look, like I was another annoying customer. He said "Yes??" when Ii walked in. Is that any way to greet a paying customer? Nope! Even if it's down the street, drive to Arco. They have a way friendlier guy working the register, better prices/lower prices, and police always hang out there, so you'll feel safe. I REPEAT. THESE PEOPLE ARE RIP-OFFS. THEY PRICE GOUGE GAS. AVOID! AVOID! HOW CAN I PRESS THE 87 OCTANCE BUTTON FOR $3.59 GAS AND GET CHARGED $3.79 PER GALLON?? AGAIN, I WILL BE REPORTING THESE CROOKS! read more

Watch out! Advertised price is not what you'll pay. Apparently you need to pay for a car wash to pay the advertised price in lights.

Love this Shell Car Wash! At $4.00 for an Express Wash, it's one of the cheapest around. This Shell also has a Circle K with a great selection. They even have frozen dinners if you're in a pinch! read more

The man at the counter was rude. He talked to me in a very demeaning manner. I took my car through the wash and My car was washed....I think. read more

Is this really a Shell station?? Their "Car wash" is absolutely horrible, HORRIBLE! Stay away unless you want to fight with a clerk who must be related to the owner and is happy treat you like snot. Nothing good to say. Everything went wrong. When I had to go inside to deal with the jerk, I was totally humiliated when he lied about their car wash machine operation. STAY AWAY. Other reviews report a very questionable gas price scam. read more

The location of this is as good as any other... on the side of PCH in a high traffic area. The size of the gas fueling area is a little packed but not the worst I've seen nor the best. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because of a couple things... The car wash for one. The car wash charges $5-7 and it is terrible. I've gone through my fair share of car washes and paid $5 for a good one. Compared to other car washes this is so horrible! Barely any soap, a little rinse, and a horrible drying job... I feel like I drove by a house that has a malfunctioning sprinkler and paid $6 for it. Surprisingly there seems to be a lot of cars waiting in line. Another thing is that this gas station is owned by an Indian guy. All the staff are Indian too. Now nothing against Indians but all Indian staff is not racially profiling? They are all rather indifferent to the customer. Hard working but nothing particularly outstanding. The inside shop is small w a few snacks, drinks, sandwiches, coffee. Overall a C+ read more

Tried to use my rewards points along with a car wash. Everything went thru but the pump wouldn't pump. Went inside and was told the pump wasn't working. Moved to another pump and the same thing happened. Moved to a third pump where someone had just filled up. Message on machine told me to see the cashier. Went back inside and was told his pumps weren't not accepting the grocery store points. Asked him about the BIG sign saying they were good at his station. He finally entered my information at his register. I suggested he should have told me that the first time I went inside.... Went to fill up and he'd entered my credit card number for the wrong pump. Had to move my car again. Filled up and headed to the car wash. The number he gave me didn't work. At that point, I left in disgust.... read more

Worst place ever! payed 6$ for a carwash and it didn't wash my car as I thought. It didn't give any soap and my car ended up WORST it didnt dry it either and left my car worst then what it was before I was so mad and in regreat going there never will I go there again ! read more
