I seem to always stop here when I'm low on gas and costco is busy. Very easy to drive in/out. Never had to wait on line, never been approached by anyone trying to sell me anything. Oh, the have ralph's rewards system here. I never have enough points on my card, but if you do...10 cents off a gallon! read more

There is a bald guy with glasses who was super rude came in to get something and was being very disrespectful and said I need to do something in order to get checked out. I think this guy should get fired or something because this is not the customer service that he should be giving super rude and disrespectful never again what I'd like to see him and it made me feel very uncomfortable read more

I paid for a deluxe car wash. I own a Tesla. The windows are still dirty and areas of the car. Still look like the machine didn't even Scrub or touchdown on it. I went inside to ask if they would repeat the car wash and they said sorry there's nothing we can do read more

The issue with this location is half the time the ATM on the actual gas machines are not working and you have to go inside the pay which is a hassle, especially if you're in a hurry. I live in the area and it's probably happened to me more than 12 times in the last Month, which is more than enough times to be late somewhere. You would expect a Shell gas station of this caliber, especially Location being near the freeway to be in good working condition but it's not anticipate delays with this location read more

I walk in I microwave my hot pockets. 10 min later employee walks up to me and says no more after this and then says it looks like I'm hiding something. I leave but come back because that was rude of him to say. I ask him what I did wrong and he tells me to leave. I ask him if theirs a time limit for the microwave. no response. I ask him if he thought I stole something he just tells me to leave again. I throw my receipt on the counter from a different store I went to earlier look I didn't steal. keeps telling me to leave . coworker chimes in and says basically don't start problems or we'll hurt you. so you make a customer feel uncomfortable. don't fully explain yourself. won't listen to anything the customer has to say . and don't apologize when proven that you where wrong and then a coworker threatens me when you where both wrong. customer service isn't for either of you and you made me not want to eat my dinner. You couldve just apologized and I would've considered it a job well done . if it gets to the point where your threatening a customer when their just explaining how you insulted them you should so something else that doesn't involve human interaction you don't deserve to stand behind a counter and speak without thinking. have a had a lot of problems from this gas station all unjust. such an easy job I've worked at a gas station before cashier how do you meas read more

Do not use this gas station/car wash a few weeks ago I went to get a car wash pulling out a piece of plastic popped my tire. Instead of offering to pay to fix it I had to "file a claim" just got the letter back the refused to accept responsibility, it cost $11.99 to fix. Makes you think if they're not willing to pay this imagine if serious damage would have occurred I'd be screwed. #shameonyoushell read more

I asked if I could get another receipt for my car wash because It stoped when it was getting ready to wash, and since I threw it away this hispanic , fat, ugly lady told me to pick it up from the trash and give to her so she could give me another code. What a horrible thing to say to a customer, and then she tells me to pull my car out so others can wash there car since there was a line behind me. So besides the carwash stopping she wanted me to go behind the line. I did get her name but she is a you know what. read more

Really bad customer service I worked at a gas station in Carlsbad and it was a shell/speedway then got bought by Jackson foods so I was talking to the guy behind the register about it to see if it's a speedway I told him I worked at a gas station but I recently got a new job and he kept going on and on hating on this new job I got like would not shut up about it that's not how you treat customers so I will never stop there ever again the employees hate on there customers. read more

Great prices for quality gas. Richard the cashier is also very sweet and welcoming. He's doing great for his age! I come here at least once a week for a frazil drink. They are so amazing! read more

Carwash sucks, paid $8 for just water had almost no soap dispensed and air dryer sucks too!!! Save your coins and avoid this "carwash"

Place sucks. 5 Pm and place is closed. Found the guys smoking a cigarette in the back. Back there for 20 minutes. Get your gas somewhere else read more

It's got gas, a small mini mart, semi nice workers, older gas station but it has a good location and a car wash. Vacuum and air for $0.75. One negative is that this Shell has these people trying to sell a window spray cleaner for your car and are annoying as hell! read more

Male attendant was sitting on the counter as I can in, looked very disheveled and unprofessional. Was carrying on conversation with female attendant. Made me wait while he carried on his conversation and when he finally did get off the counter and turn to me was very rude. Barely let me make my request (cigarettes and gas) before continuing his conversation with repeated cursing. I will not be returning to this location. read more

Place was clean and staff was friendly. They have a good variety of snakes and drinks.

Really nice gas station. The pumps are well lit and bright I felt safe. It's clean and well kept. More expensive than 7-11 across the street. BUT if you shop at Ralph's you can get up to 20 cents off a gallon. I earned enough this month to get earn 20 cents off. Ended up paying $2.98 for premium. I like this gas station and I'll be back. Clean and safe. read more

WORST CAR WASH EVER I needed to get my car washed as a bird decided my small black Kia Forte looked like a great place first target practice. I pulled in right behind another car and processed my payment. As I waited I saw the car in front of me go through the whole wash cycle and drive up for the blowers to dry off the car. I then drove in and the wash started, but after a minute or so it stopped. I sat there thinking it will start up again, then realized the lights were all off. I ended up having to back out, but another car had already pulled in behind me. There was no call button at the pay machine, so I had to lock my car walk in and the clerk inside gave me a receipt with a code. I went back out, the car wash worked, but when the blowers started up I could not pull forward. There was some kind of block up not allowing me to pull forward. I finally had to gun it to get over the thing. I once again went in to tell the clerk about the problem, he said that's how it works. NO IT DOESN'T!!! Total BS read more

Added a car wash on an impulse, go to pull in, there's a little sign saying the car wash is closed. What does that mean? Indefinitely? Why are the pumps still offering carwashes? How do I get my money back? read more

Terrible management. The car wash was not working and was only washing cars halfway before stopping. I called them to say there was an alert that it was out of service. The assistant manager was very rude. She came out Yelling. Saying she would help the car behind me but it seemed she was accusing me of breaking the machine and I had not even received the car wash yet I was waiting at the entrance. I went inside and the kind attendant gave me my money back. Horrible experience and waste of 30 min of my time. I would avoid this place. The manager needs better training for how to cope w customers. I went right after to the shell on el Norte and their car wash was great. No problem. read more

A car wash, gas and mini mart. This place is convenient. Just hard to get out of, since it's next to the freeway entrance.

I was on the way back from yoga in Carlsbad, tank had 10 miles of fuel left and I knew that I wouldn't have enough to get home. I was getting dangerously close to the entrance to the 78 and knew that would lead straight to the 15 and therefore I would likely run out of fuel on the freeway, this being a personal nightmare given that hubby and I have only one car and our baby girl was asleep! Thankfully right next to the freeway entrance was this gas station. I fueled up not bearing to look at the prices and paid at the pump then I headed into the store to grab a late dinner, go me having gas station food for dinner! The gas station was clean, convenient, quiet and had a good choice of snacks as well as an ATM. So why only 3 stars? Well the gas station attendant was grouchy and the prices were high. It was out of my way so very unlikely I will be back but thankful it was there for me today! read more

The two guys that I've seen work here can definitely be smart asses, but hey... it's San Marcos and they quite frankly don't really give a shit? Either way, getting in and out is always fairly quick and yes, they do have a public restroom. Diesel fuel and a car wash can also be found here. Always a good place for me to gas up before getting on the 15! read more

My go-to gas spot after eating a good Phil's BBQ meal. Everything is newer here including the pump machines. The food mart is even larger than normal. Easy in and out gas station (but i've never been here during rush hour). read more

Pass on the new car wash. A new ownership took over. They wouldn't accept my punched card which gives me a new wash after 5 punches...then they put in new driers in the wash that hardly dry your car. I used to like this wash because it scrubs well, and dries well. All for $6. But the driers suck now, and when I got home there were long streaks of completely unscrubbed sections of my car. I'll be washing in my driveway now on. read more

I hate going to the gas station as much as anyone else, but this place isn't THAT bad. Everything here is new and in decent shape... the pumps have widescreen TVs to watch while you fill-up. The food mart is pretty large and they have a decent selection. I've found the staff to be pretty friendly. It's easy to get in and out of and hop on the 78. Prices are decent (for what I would call "Tier-1" fuel). Also, lots of places to eat right nearby which is an additional bonus. read more

Stopped by to get gas a couple of nights ago after class. I had to go inside because my credit card wouldn't work on the pump. Joey the cashier working inside was so hilarious. He made my day. Awesome, awesome guy. read more

This place sucks. You pay top dollar, the pumps won't let you pay with your card, so you have to go in to the absolutely clueless attendant. Then You have to guess how much your bill will be so she can key it in, and when you go to pump, it stops every half gallon. I got about three gallons before I gave up. I went back in to get a receipt, she asks which pump like I want just in there 30 seconds ago, prints out a receipt and hands it to me, and it's a receipt for a few candy bars, not even gas! Don't waste your time or money on this place. read more

Gas stations are where you wanna get in and get out. I always come to this gas station because it's the closest to the freeway exit. Smart. Prices are high here and no one can do anything about it. It is what it is. Nonsense. read more

today (4/6/15) i left my wallet on the top of my car while i was getting gas and forgot it when i drove off... it is pink and pretty much has my whole life in it. i don't imagine it stayed on my roof very long although i checked the entire parking lot and every store around the area.. including the shell they didn't have it but they were very nice about it ... so 5 stars for that. but if anyone has found it please please contact me... my license has my name and my email is predkilauren@yahoo.com . name: lauren predki, or you can facebook me and i'll give you my phone number. there was cash in it and you can take the cash, it doesn't matter to me.. but everything else is useless as i have canceled all the cards in it. i would really really appreciate it if you contact me if you have found it it could be on the road or in the shopping center or anywhere in the proximity of san marcos high school. thank you so much reward if found!! read more

The lady locked the door with no sign saying why in the middle of the day. Right as I was about to walk away she opened the door. I asked for $ to be put on the pump My bike was parked at and a can of Copenhagen wintergreen pouches(the only brand and flavor I use). She kept the can in her hand till my card was accepted and then handed me a can of Grizzly. I told her that I asked for Copenhagen and she then started to argue with me repeatedly telling me I asked for Grizzly(a brand I have never bought). I told her I've never used that and she was wrong. She corrected the sale and then tossed the can at the counter. I told her not be so rude and that she was wrong as I was walking out of the store. I plainly heard her say "nigger" under her breath as I was walking out. Pretty shocking as I'm not black. I'm Puerto Rican and grew up in Oklahoma so I laughed at the hilarity of the situation, got my gas, and left. Gas is gas and customer service isn't the biggest thing for that industry, just felt like venting. Fuck that lady though. read more

This is the worst gas station, the outside pay stations take forever, and most of the time they fail and you have to go inside to pay. Need some new technology... read more
