    4,89 For a gallon of premium gasoline. The place is kind of dirty. Obviously it's got a great location on national and Sawtelle. But I can't get past the price of the gasoline. It seems kind a like gouging. The place is in back clean, but it looks like they're trying to make an effort to clean it up a bit storage got a good variety and plenty of stuff you could snack on.

    Since this gas station is next to the entrance to the 405 South, and across the street from my Chase bank (Sawtelle at National Blvd) - I've passed by a bazillion times, but never stopped til today. What drew me was the memory of a fast car wash, which was just what I needed today before I hopped on the road for a family getaway! So I pulled in, got gas (not the cheapest around at $3.29/gal for regular) and chose one of the multi-level pricing car washes that came up as an option before my receipt printed. The $7.99 exterior-only wash was all I needed, so I tooko my receipt with the super secret car wash code printed on it, drove to the entrance to the car wash, waited for the 3 or so cars in front of me to do their thing, and handed my ticket to the car wash attendant. From there on in, it was like being in my own car but transported to a ride in Disneyland! Signs directed me to put my car in neutral and shut the engine off and the attendant directed me to drive onto a movable track. I was still in the car, being propelled through a washing area of huge, soft, soapy, car washing dreadlocks and then a blast shower to rinse off. Before I was pulled through, two guys hand-soaped my car (2 minutes-ish) and then after I went through the rinse cycle (2 minutes-ish) two more guys hand-dried the outside of my car. The ad boasts about the "5 minute wash" and - excluding the waiting in line part - it pretty much WAS a 5-minute, exterior-only wash. Fast - and I had a few minutes to organize my purse while my car was getting clean! A right turn out of the driveway, and I was on the 405 in a flash! This is not the cheapest priced gas in town, but for a road trip cleanup, it works!

    Car wash range from 12 to 15 dollars, open from 7 am to 7 pm

    Good car wash for its price, they usually have one or two guys dry by hand at the end...my favorite go to spot for quick wash and vacuum in the area. $11 wash is a but basic but $15 (Manager Special) gets the works as far as tire shine and a sealer wax. Vacuum and air provided after the hand dry but it is not free or included. You would have to get $1 in quarters to start the machine up..make sure to have doors open and mats ready for vacuum..it turns off in about 8 minutes so about 2 minutes per door, unless you have a bugger car than a sedan.

    Scratches and it's still dirty

    Always crowded, but that's because they've got pretty much the lowest price for gas on the west side.

Today's total was close to a nearly upscale dinner and a movie back in pre-pandemic days. Is what it is. All I wanted was gasoline, no frequent customer rewards or other such deals, just gasoline. Too many prompts, too much glare on the pump's screen made my, what used to be a simple transaction, difficult. I'm not spoiled, a bougie Karen. I know how to pump self serve gas, complete the transaction. (I'm not afraid to get dirty either. Can do a DIY oil change, check tire pressure, change one if necessary, even assisted my ex in rebuilding an engine! Not as expert as Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny" but can hold my own when it comes to cars.) Completed filling the tank. BUT pump refused to spit out my receipt! At these prices, you better believe I want deduction proof for my CPA. Running late to my next appointment, on to the mini mart here which is clean, well stocked with sundries, cold/hot beverages, calorically incorrect but yum treats. Kindly gentleman at the helm after verifying my pump number, total purchase, quickly provided a receipt. We exchanged wishes for a good day and I was on my way and still on time...

    Anytime I do an unfavorable review I call the establishment first and this place I called twice and…read moreleft two voice mails.... you know those wafers you get on the airplane and they are super good? Anyway! I bought that item it wasn't edible it was so stale. I frequent this gas station for gas, store items and the cookie spot inside. They would not take back the stale wafer and acted as if I was being unreasonable with the ask. Now that I've called their establishment twice and left a message I see why. They never called me back. They don't stand behind their products they sell. Hmmm I gotta a little research to do. Deal with this place at your own risk! I have stopped patronizing the store but gotta keep getting gas.

    I understand the appeal--this station consistently offers some of the lowest gas prices in the area…read moreand has for years. That said, the independently-owned station across the street now matches those prices, and you won't find nearly the same level of chaos. This place is a disaster at nearly every hour of the day. It's poorly managed, with no visible effort to coordinate the flow of cars or maintain any sense of order. For reasons I can't begin to understand, people here treat the gas pump like a parking space. Whether they're wandering inside to load up on sugar bombs or disappearing into the restroom for extended visits, the result is the same: long lines and unnecessary delays. This location seems to attract the city's slowest, most oblivious residents--people who treat everyone else's time as disposable. It's a small but maddening reflection of a larger issue in our city: the growing disregard for basic courtesy. Here's a radical suggestion--fill up your tank and move on. Your personal errands and leisurely browsing can wait until you're not blocking others. Until that kind of awareness becomes common practice, I'll gladly give up my spot in line to someone with more patience than I have left.

    Review #927 2025-105…read more It's been almost a decade since I've been to this Shell station, but I used to infrequently stop here en route home from Westwood because the prices were fairly competitive & it's near the 405 Fwy. I was meeting some friends for the movies when my car's low pressure light turned on, & the next exit happens to be by Shell. I parked by the air/water station to check my tires & they seem fine. The machine didn't have a separate tire pressure gauge to check the PSI; I needed 35 PSI (front) & 32 PSI (rear) for my car. Since I don't need to buy gas, I had to pay $3.00 for 5-mins. The instructions were relatively easy to follow, but I questioned its accuracy since it didn't beep or indicate when it reached the targeted PSI that I enter (modern ones stop automatically), especially on the passenger side when I can't read the gauge. When I was pumping air on the right side, it read at 40 PSI, which makes sense since I've been driving a few miles. Just to be sure, I went into the convenience store & ask for assistance. The attendant couldn't be bothered, but I said I think the machine might be a problem since the low pressure light was still showing after adjusting/lowering the PSI. After rudely telling me to wait because another customer cut in front of me for his car wash issue, he walked out & provided another 5-mins. of air & watched me put air in the front left tire. It was at 40 PSI, which was odd since it stopped during my initial attempt. I explained that to him, & he said just wait for it to reach 35 & walked away. I re-did all 4 tires & the low pressure light was still on. I was running tight on time, & didn't want to dispute the air/water station's accuracy after this 2nd attempt. It may not be the machine, but my car's sensor since the tires look properly inflated. I drove the rest of the way via streets at moderate speeds to minimize the risk of a blowout. Did you know? Since 01/2000, gas stations must provide free compressed air, water, & a pressure gauge during operating hours to paying (gas) customers. Most drivers don't know about this law & pay for air. In past visits, I didn't need assistance (whew!). And just like cellular service, everything's peachy keen until it's not, then you're in service hell just trying to get the service that you paid for. I'm quite put-off by Shell's lack of customer service & care for motorist safety. I doubt I'll be back here at this Shell station.

    I have no words for a business in which a kid with chip on his shoulder who's behind the counter…read moregives me dirty looks because I informed him the dryer in the car wash isn't working properly. "I can hear it," he told me. So could I. AND it doesn't work. Both can be true at the same time and were. I'm not afraid of a little elbow grease. I have no problem using a shaded gas island to dry my soaked car. This kid behind the counter apparently doesn't want to listen to any feedback, even when it's something to help. The old adage "the customer is always right" is simply lost on this business. The kid's attitude is a reflection of the business itself and THAT'S what matters here. I've been on crutches for 8 years. I don't ask for favors from anyone. I'm too independent for my own good. But this kid seemed to take helpful feedback personally. And he's the reason I'm posting this review. If this was the first time I had an issue with this Shell, I'd let it slide but it's not. I csme here a few months ago to fill up and have my car washed only to find an untimed note on the door that the cashier stepped out with no indication as to when they left or might return so customers can get help. And so now I'm done. I found the Chevron station down the road in March. Their car wash is fantastic. Same drive through concept except the car comes out clean as a whistle. Their lines are longer. I understand why. Even given gas prices, I'll take it. Lesson learned. Don't offer helpful input about equipment failures to the Shell at Venice and Sepulveda. You'll be treated like *you're* the problem.
