This is the new business location for Abet Humeiti, formerly with Tenleytown Auto Services in the 4200 block of Wisconsin. We have been bringing our cars to Abet since he worked down the street from us at Rock Creek Exxon in Adams Morgan, because he provides great service of an excellent price, and never tries to pad the bill with unnecessary services as happens with many auto mechanics. Yesterday we needed only the periodic service on our 3 year-old-car, plus a minor repair, and walked away with a bill of less than $120. Note that this is a separate business from the business at the same address that sells Shell gasoline and candy Hours are Monday to Friday 7:30 to 6 PM; not sure about Saturday hours read more

We needed gas and stopped by. This place is creepy at night. There's enough room to pull in and exit. The red light helps make it easier to safely get back on the road. read more

Shell - Gas Stations Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came to get gas since I was close to a gas station. I walked inside and politely asked for gas at the pump that my car was stationed at. I gave the man behind the register my money and he snatched it out my hand. That service is not OK. I do not recommend coming here at all. read more

A very little gas station that needs an updated look. The staff is very friendly here and helpful for my daughter and thus I like them for that. My biggest issue is the tight space and dilapidated look but for gas it will work and is on the way for me usually. read more

I can't recommend them highly enough. It would have taken six hours to get my battery jump started because of roadside assistance delays. Instead, they got me going again in less than half an hour. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! read more

False advertising that this station has gas available 24/7 current as of 06/28/2021 night at 10pm. No one in store either.

Lower prices than the surrounding the surround gas stations. They also have a service center! read more

Shell - a view of a gas station from a car window - Gas Stations Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had a slow leak in my tire from a nail. They plugged my tired in 5 mins. Got me in and out!

These guys are great! My car was hard to start on the way home from work today so, suspecting the battery, I called ahead to see if they had one in stock, which they did ( I called them since they're on my route home). I pulled in, they diagnosed that it was indeed the battery, and replaced it in less than 10 minutes. Fast! Good work guys. read more

Like another reviewer said why does this say open 24 hour when it's not true? live in the neighborhood and when I go by anytime later in the eve it says all pumps have been shut off - happened several times when I needed gas later - got the message now false advertising indeed and don't go there anytime of day now read more

60 DOLLARS TO MOUNT ONE TIRE!! Need I say more? The staff were completely unprofessional their machine wasn't working properly they had to hack it to remove the tire and then mount the new one they were smoking and a water pipe being completely unprofessional and the worst of all they were very expensive do not go there. Can you imagine paying $250 to mount four tires? read more

this place is very bad and rude i have came here numerous of time to get my car looked at just to not get it looked at! my first time here some new guy took my info, and said he'll give me a call with pricing and when the service could be done.. and he never called then i came back to see why i never got a call, the sub-leaser (AHEB) took my number after his other associate did already, and said he'll give me a call... and never did... i come back AGAIN! and the same thing happened.... and lastly when i came to see why no one of calling... thee owner "son" acted as if he was the one who run the place, not only that the "son" has seen me numerous of times as well, and each time he said nothing to me... therefore you can't help me your father can AKA THE owner... moral of the story.. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

My car stalled at the traffic light next to this gas station so obviously I pushed my car there. Abet and Jermaine charged me $100 to diagnose my car needing a fuel pump replacement. They quoted me $506 to do the job. I told them I did not have that in my budget presently, they told me they would take 1/2 hour off the labor which would make it $440. I told them I still could not afford that price, they said their parts distributor would give them a 3% discount so the best they could do for me was $436. Wow, I still declined. Throughout the entire conversation I made it known that i had no problem having my car towed to my house in silver spring and letting it sit in my driveway until I had the funds to fix it, because I have another vehicle that I drive to and from work. As I'm gathering a few things from inside the car while I'm waiting for the tow truck to arrive, they came to my car and told me that if I go get the fuel pump from Autozone they would do the job in 1 hour for $125. Hey, that's great ! I thought and agreed to it, not realizing that I fell for their scam. You see, even if I had bought the most expensive fuel pump on the market, it should not cost $506 to do the job. All they do is lift up the back seat to access the fuel tank, no more than a 20 minute job. I later called 2 other repair shops in silver spring and received considerably cheaper quotes. At the time I honestly did not think anything about the fact that they dropped from their initial quote of about $500 to $125. While driving home, about 15 minutes after paying and picking up my car, it stalled out ! Of course I immediately call Abet and he sends Jermaine to the location where I broke down. Jermaine arrives at my location but did not bring any tools what so ever so that he could properly diagnose why my car stalled after he was supposed to have replaced the fuel pump. He claimed that the fuel pump was not even on, which he did not understand because he had my car running fine and burning gas for an hour after he installed the new pump. So I had to wait for him to go back to the shop and get proper tools. When he came back with his tools he took out the fuel pump and realized that 2 of the electrical connectors wire had came undone. He twisted the wires together, put the pump back in the gas tank and the car started and an ran fine. Again, about 10 - 15 minutes after I'm driving, the car stalls out again ! I call Abed back and they claim that I need to have my car towed back to their shop. They must not know how expensive it is to have a car towed. No thank you ! They improperly diagnosed my car or improperly installed the fuel pump. Either way I did not want to take my car back to them. So I had to tow my car to a different shop and pay again to have it repaired. Beware, especially of Jermaine ! I had an absolutely horrible experience with them. read more

I loved this repair shop for simple things like oil changes, but I stopped by there yesterday and there's a note saying it closed on March 18, 2015! I talked to the cashier at the gas station and he said the younger man who worked there (not Tim) might take over the business, but doesn't know when. Anyway, if the younger man sees this post, one time you asked if you could buy my 2002 black subaru impreza outback and I'm selling it now so contact me via yelp if you're interested! (or anyone else really?) read more

Good gas station. Prepared cold sandwiches are very good. Friendly staff. Well stocked snacks.

During all of the construction in the area I accidentally hit a curb and took a nice chunk out of a tire, which also partially deflated. I was worried that it would not hold air and hobbled into this shell to fill it. A guy waiting on his Porsche repairs said, "Let Jim look at it, he's the best and most honest mechanic in DC/MD/VA, I take all of my cars here and he's underrated". So I waited two seconds for Jim to pop out and he took full control of the situation and filled the tire. Instead of telling me I needed a new tire and rim he told me I had just missed that by a hair and was good to go no charge, Sweet...so I decided to go back to him if need be in the future. Jump to the future and the temperature control knob was sticking in my Altima on the first coldest day, so of course I did the worst thing and forced it. I love the sound of a good dash explosion in the morning. I took it to the closest place to my home and they wanted $300 just to fix the knob, if that was it....rip off I read afterwards all over the internet. I took it back to Jim and he looked at it right away and tried all the quick fixes possible with no luck. I didn't tell him but I took the dash apart myself so knew he wasn't lying. He kept the car for a few hours only before calling to say that the cord that opens and closes the temp doors had frozen and I broke it by force. He said that I could fix that by summer but he was able to keep the door open and give me heat for the rest of the winter....and boy did he !! I can still control everything but the temp (don't need to) and just missed frostbite on my feet. $120 bucks out the door and he even "pre-inspected" my car for VA. BEST MECHANIC EVER!!!!!!! read more

I called to get a quote for a blower motor replacement and the person who answered the phone didn't know what I was talking about. After I repeatedly said it wasn't the AC compressor, he called his colleague to the phone and called me crazy in the process. Guess those two other mechanics and autozone must be wrong in thinking there's a part called a blower motor. Not giving my business to someplace unknowledgeable and disrespectful. read more

They provided me really excellent and friendly service. My car battery died while I was in the neighborhood, and they not only provided me immediate roadside assistance but had replaced my battery within an hour. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Long story short I drove into Washington DC. and my brakes were failing horribly. I looked on yelp for a place that was close with good reviews and this Shell station showed up and only 5 minutes from my location. There I met Mike who said he would get me going so I could drive back up the coast that evening, this was at 2 pm. Mike worked hard to get parts and get me going. He stayed until l almost 9pm to make sure I was able to head home, they close at 6pm. He put in the extra miles, and got me on my way. Exceptional customer service. 5 stars in my book, I will be back. read more

Came here with car making weird noise. Mike was super helpful. Drove it around with me to hear noise and then did inspection and showed me what was going on. I really appreciated​ his good customer service, it's hard to find these days! read more

Great little place for gas and got my tires filled with air for free, tipped the guy for it. The staff is very friendly here and helpful. Bring your Giants card and get points on the gas. The mechanics seem like hard working guys. The lot is kind of small though so it can be a tight fit read more

A couple weeks ago, I punctured my tire and desperately needed a replacement quickly! I called a few places: one wasn't helpful, and one was great but didn't have what I needed. They suggested I call this Shell, and when I did, I spoke to Jim, the kindest car mechanic who looked through his tire inventory, found the size I needed and told me to come as soon as I could. I arrived about 45 minutes later and Jim had the tire ready. He helped me immediately, and the entire time, told me what he was doing and why. I learned a lot and now feel I can advocate better on future tire help I need. He charged me an unbelievably fair price too. I would definitely return and also recommend Jim and the Shell for auto work. read more

First time here.Needed a quick head light changed. Was in and out in 10 minutes. Guys were professional, even took the time to show me how to use my fog lights. read more

Reading the other reviews, it seems like this place is the local rescue station for people with flat tires. We had a flat while I was driving my wife home from a surgical procedure. She was still recovering from sedation and needed my full attention. A couple of teenagers walking by kindly agreed to walk back two blocks to this Shell station to see if someone would help. A few minutes later, an employee from the service station (the manager?) drove up with a wrench and hydraulic jack. He had our flat changed in less than 5 minutes (probably less than 3 actually--he was that fast), and then asked us to follow him back to the station so that he could check the air pressure in our spare. Satisfied that the spare would get us home safely, he sent us on our way--even refusing an offer to pay, though I tipped him anyway. This place deserves all the great reviews. We don't live in the neighborhood, but I plan to stop there for gas every chance I get. read more

After my car broke down in Georgetown dc I called geico for a tow truck. The truck came and recommend me to the Wisconsin Ave Shell in Tenley Town for repairs on my car and also offered me a 10% discount since I was a geico customer. I reached the station and Abe the Manager there and his team were amazing took care of me repaired my car and I was back on the road. I highly recommend this place there amazing people there. Thx Abe & team @ Wisconsin Ave Shell!! U rock read more

From out of town and after a very longggg trip down here my oil was at -44! Knowing nothing about cars i called this place and the man told me to come in and they'd be able to change the oil right away. Was in and out in 20 mins! Abe was super courteous. Great service. read more

Took a used vehicle we were purchasing for a pre purchase inspection. The car was late being ready, which was the least of our concerns. The mechanic didn't want to take the time following the inspection, to go over the issues with the vehicle. He was abrupt, rude, and condescending. He checked a few boxes on a sheet and told me to look at the sheet. Visiting this station was a COMPLETE waste of money, and we had to take the vehicle to another service station which was more thorough, efficient and communicative. Two thumbs down for this Shell "service" station. read more

Jim was amazing, I discovered a nail in my tire the night before a road trip. He was able to fit me in the next morning to patch the tire within 20 minutes and had me on my way. He even helped load my kids in and out of the car! Full service. Highly recommend!! read more

As good as it gets. These guys are the real neighborhood mechanics. Jim and the crew are always helpful and clear and don't price gouge any repair. Can't recommend enough! read more

I was a loyal customer when Tim ran the service center at Tenley Shell - after his departure in March, Jimmy just re-opened the repair shop. He is an expert mechanic- knows the full rang of autos from a 1993 Honda to a 2014 Subaru. I was impressed and very pleased with the prompt and efficient service and the price. read more

This shop treated me well the first time. A new mechanic ordered and replaced a flat tire, although high price I figured his service was valuable. read more
