Betty is LOVELY--I mistakenly thought I could pay for the car wash on Shell's app as I didn't have a physical card on me, & was having major technical difficulties downloading, then signing in to the app & trying to figure out where I could procure me one of them damn codes for the kiosk. Meanwhile, my mindless self didn't realize that when I'd frantically pulled out of the car wash line (someone behind me) & into a parking spot, I was blocking one of the air/water machines. Eventually, Betty came & knocked on my window to let me know I couldn't keep blocking that spot if I wasn't using the machine--I apologized for being such an airhead & explained to her what I was trying to do, she let me know that if I couldn't pay with a card then I could just come pay in-store (duh! My brain, or lack thereof, sometimes, I swear...). Once inside, she made sure I knew that I had to wait until the person in front of me was completely out of the wash before I entering my code or it would screw the system up. Despite following her instructions, the kiosk said to wait as it was still in use, I drove up to the lights--nothing...reversed back to the kiosk--same message. Just as I thought I effed up somehow, out came Betty to save the day. She had to get a little help from the higher-ups to reboot, then all systems go. I was a hot mess from start to finish, but Betty could not have possibly been any more sweet, helpful or patient with me! I mean, truly, it's service like this that compels me to leave reviews...not everyday you get to deal with people as awesome as she is. My new go-to gas station in this area now, for sure. Thank you so much, Betty--you are pure MAGIC! read more

These sons of bitches with there over priced fuel, are the only gas station that steals money from your bank accounts and call it "a holding charge" and don't put the money back in your account for as long as they can. It's not the bank neither because Arco does the same thing, and the money is returned within minutes!!! Worst part about this I cancelled my transaction due to realizing that even with my Ralph's points and $0.50c off a gallon it was still going to be most expensive fuel than anywhere else. So I cancelled the transaction and didn't purchase any fuel, only to find they had cleared all the money out of my account and over drawn me!!!! for a holding charge. 4 days later I'm still waiting for it to refund back. And now going to get charged for overdraft fees. Be aware of these places, and go in and pay cash. Definitely don't trust them. read more

Glad to say they got rid of the rude ladies, really needed gas and just happen to stop by a Saturday night let's just say I left with a lot of goodies and pastries major difference I see will return no questions about it now. The guy was real helpful read more

Horrible service. The actual food mart smells like sewage, the car wash is broken often(including the card reader) and the people that work in there, with the exception of one young brunette, are just not good at customer service. I keep giving this place a try and they keep doing an awful job. read more

Whoever this new guy working at SHELL named " JOSE " definitely doesn't need to be working there and needs to be let go & whoever owns this SHELL needs to to desperately go back to school and learn business because this isn't how you run a gas station. 1ST off i went in to buy some snacks and asked " JOSE " for a cup of ICE & he tried charging me $1. When I was just in there a few days ago on Friday morning it was .50 cents so your telling me in 2 days the price went up. SECOND of all when I asked " JOSE " for air for my tires he gave me this run around about how he can't activated it and for me to use my debit card or call the 1800# on the box and have them turn it on. Then gave me a receipt to call. But the last time I checked AIR & WATER is free in CALI so why are you guys charging to use it. You can actually be FINED by the state for not allowing customers to use your AIR & WATER THIRD and last thing is this SHELL is no longer a 24/7 GAS STATION like it has posted in the windows and claims that it's 24/7 It used to be a nice place to stop in the night time and grab some snacks after work but no anymore after they brought in " JOSE " and the store just started falling apart. Every time I walk in there was he is there the store looks trashed and filthy. Seems like I'm not the only that has this experience with this guy named " JOSE " & see a handful of reviews talking about their experience with " JOSE " & it just makes your business look bad having someone work their that makes customers feel unwelcome. PLEASE PULL DOWN YOUR 24/7 SIGNS !!! read more

The clerk at the San Pedro gas station on Western @ Park West wouldn't let me or other patrons use their public restroom, even after I'd just filled up my tank! They've put a sign on the bathroom door that says "No Public Bathroom." Isn't this illegal? Photo just to show location. read more

This Gas Station just added an automatic car wash & it is the best one I have ever seen , I already been to car wash 2 times & my car came out clean As you do a detail car wash , really recommended P.S : I also like the variety of drinks at the store read more

It's true what the other reviewers are saying, we just stopped for gas and a car wash at this Shell station on the way out of town and were told we could not use the restroom. That's the first time in my life that's happened at a gas station! Strange. read more

I work close by and decided to use my reward points for gas after work. I pulled up only to wait almost a hour for someone to open the door. There were 3 to 4 people waiting also and in the afternoon time to boot. This is the only shell near me to fill up. I couldn't even use my points. I usually go in the night time and thank God the Lady in there Betty is always so nice and ready to help me with gas points. I'm disabled and can't see well which is why I need to pay inside. Thank you again Betty. The stars are for her only, but the day people need to get it together. read more

I came here for the first time last week and the lady Betty was super kind. I didn't understand how to use my rewards and she showed me how it works. Some places workers don't even want to bother helping customers out or they get an attitude but she was super helpful and patient and I'll be back again! read more

Second review. I bought gas paid for car wash and again no receipt given at the pump.. I go inside to get my car wash code and the cashier says out car wash is not working. I ask for a refund. She states she can't give a refund cause I bought it with gas purchase. The best she can do is tell me to come back to use the code when the car wash is working. I ask why is there no sign at the pumps that say the car wash is down. I don't know who owns this but it's not being run well. I always have an issue here. I like to support my local business owners but looks like I need to find a new spot to spend my money. read more

This is my favorite gas station of the area. Firstly, the pricing is great and the employees are nice. But my favorite part is the express car wash. It's so fast and easy. I used to get the lowest wash until the one time I got the highest grade wash. I think it's $12 or $14. Now that's all I get. I have a big truck and it fits! It gives my truck that hand wash feeling. And the best part is it doesn't have those tracks like other car washes do that mess up your rims. The whole machine moves around you. I highly recommend it!! read more

Yesterday I went in there and Christina helped me. She above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied. Her loyalty to ADA customers was incredible. Shell gas should be proud to have her as an employee. read more

All the ladies are awesome and very helpful today I was having trouble doing my rewards I kept getting mixed up so Christina helped me check so we checked both rewards to see which one I have more money off with either my shell rewards or my Ralph's so once we seen which was better to use I ended using my Ralph's and I also got a car wash very pleased with Christina and her awesome customer service today I will definitely be returning read more

1st the gas station always smells like somebody took a dump with the door opened lol and their machines never print receipts and the employees never fill them with paper and when I complain they basically say oh well get over it yet you guys have a car wash how else am i going to get the code read more

Jose is very rude , unprofessional I went in for propane didn't acknowledge me completely blew me off & has the Audacity to tell me he's to busy to help me what kind of bs is that ? And you guys pay him to be on the phone and talking to other customers about employees is the priority????? I'm assuming giving propane wasn't the thing he wanted to give me read more

I don't know I just don't think you should have teens hanging out outside while you are trying to pay I wouldn't expect it in Compton let alone anywhere. The darker kid there is always pissed off at something and someone and hanging out with random people who are pulling up! Check your cameras and the store is closed I dont think it takes 10 minutes to poop but do you whoever owns this place. I don't care about mask or no mask they do t use them their behind the doubter that's fine but that look on all the younger employees faces is like really what do you want leave me alone I hate my job and I hate my life. Personally I don't like it I'm happy to remove my review when homeboy gets some therapy and sone people start having a damn smile on their faces! read more

This gas station had great prices and the car wash was a huge bonus! Affordable and very thorough wash. Best snack selection in the area too

Nice gas station but they need to change the soda fountain. It taste horrible idk if they are watering the drinks down but my Mountain Dew not my Diet Coke taste good and I'm always here every weekday buying stuff. read more

Highly recommend the car wash at this place. I got a perfect wash for a reasonable price. The gas price is fair as well and there is a good selection of snacks in the store. Highly recommend this place specially for car wash service. read more

One of a shrinking number of stations that don't blare noisy ads at you while pumping. Price is not the worst at all. Has Thrifty ice cream.

Will not be coming back. The car wash was broken but there was no notice prior to paying. The employees refused to refund the purchase. They simply said to come back but couldn't say when it would even be functional again. read more

This has been my favorite gas station in the area for years and it's located in a very convenient location. Plenty of bays for your vehicle. read more

Decided to start coming to this gas station since it's by work and convenient to get to. The first time was great but the last three times I've been here it's just annoying that I can't use my debit card outside. Why do I have to go inside to pay? Aren't we suppose to be social distancing? Why can't I just pay at the pump instead of having to go inside where other people are at? Also one of the clerks was on a personal call when I was inside paying for gas and was talking on speaker about how upset he was to wear a mask since everyone else is wearing he shouldn't have to wear it. I don't feel like that type of person who doesn't want to protect himself is doing g a great job at cleaning and protecting others. Now the last thing is that I showed up today and parked at gas pump #9 and walked in to pre-pay. I told the clerk how much I wanted on #9 and she said that only pumps 1,3, and 6 where working at time became the other are being maintenance. Why wouldn't they put a sign at the pumps that are down instead of having their customers wasting time. It's just annoying. read more

Christina is honestly one of the nicest people! I drive further out of my way just to get shell gas at this station and I always know that Christina will be there with a smile and she is always so quick to help. She is so personable and thoughtful and kind and has a good sense of humor and whether she knows it or not has definitely cheered me up on a day or two grateful to have amazing locals in our community in the South Bay. Having people so kind and personable is what keeps the South Bay spirit alive and our community intact. read more

This place has some shady practices going on. If you have a Ralph's rewards card and use it to get a discount on your gas, you're probably getting ripped off. It will show that you're getting .50 cents off, .80 cents off (or whatever amount of your discount) but it NEVER actually reduces the amount you pay for gas!! It has happened to me twice. I left my phone number for the manager and they never called me back. When the screen says it's applying your discount, you just assume they really are. You have to double check that you're not being ripped off here and that's simply no way to do business. read more

I never thought I'd be leaving a gas station review, but this place is under new management and has really grown and improved over the last few months. It's definitely become a regular stop for me, the staff are always friendly and the store is clean and bright. Not like your average more dingy gas station, and prices are always consistently lower than the surrounding stations. read more

I do not like this gas station. It is convenient though with this occasion. They did a half-ass remodel and made a Mini Mart are the selection is very limited in the Mini Mart. The prices are still higher than any of the other stations around. The early morning employee is not very friendly I do not like this gas station. It is convenient though with us occasion. They did a half ass remodel and made a mini mart. This election is very limited in the mini mart. The prices are still higher than any of the other stations around. The early morning employee is not very friendly. And parked they are car right in front of the store. Makes it difficult for other customers to get gas. They construction guys this morning could not pull up there air compressor the back of their truck because of this. And the employee regularly has a homeless guy hanging around doing there is things around the store. It's very awkward and uncomfortable. The Palms are old and some of the buttons do not work. read more

This Gastation is awesome they always greet me with a hello and a smile I frequent this Gastation a lot close to my house reasonable prices the workers at night are so willing to go get me whatever I want no matter how many times I change my mind I come in usually for some cigarettes and a couple natural light beers the staff here is awesome every single one of them read more

This is specifically about getting propane bottles refilled. If you have a nice propane bottle, you do not want to exchange it at the grocery store or Home Depot. I was pleased and impressed to see that my local gas station has on-the-spot fills for propane. The girl at the counter was helpful and fast. Price was fair and the convenience is outstanding. read more

Maybe for $3.45 a gallon, you can get squeegees that work and clean soapy water. Just a thought.
