Alcosta Shell & Car Wash

Ask for 5 dollars of gas because that was all I had. Went back to car and saw a guy that needed help so I helped him out then came back to my car. That probably took about 5 min. Then I realized I couldn’t get the 5 bucks of gas I just asked for. Went inside to the cashier and he said there was nothing that could be done. This is a joke. Can’t believe it. Now I’m broke with no gas. Gotta love life

I like the fast pumps that this station has. The car wash is not very good, still dirty after. The prices are a little higher than other stations in San Ramon, but you save time with the faster pumps and the easy freeway access. There is a mini mart that is well stocked.

I needed a specific oil for my car and i had went to three gas stations before I finally found it here! I LOVE this gas station. This wasn’t the first time I left happy. When you are a regular customer like me the air is free and they have an awesome vacuum that I use often! The place is convenient to get to in my way home work etc and I live their customer service. And PS: the bathroom is always presentable and clean!!!

Convienently located right next to the freeway entrance, and surprisingly never too busy.
I generally avoid gas station restrooms whenever possible, but was pleasantly surprised when I had to make an emergency pit stop at this SHell station. Bathroom was ssparkling clean, and surprisingly borderline luxurious. Well designed, and faubulously maintained.
The service has always been super friendly, and they NEVER seem to be having a bad day.

Easy to get in and out of the parking lot. Great deals on Energy drinks!
Gas prices are market value, not incredibly more than any other gas station.

This is the gas station that’s most convenient for me when Im heading home. Although the gas prices here are not the cheapest I’ll put $ 20 bucks in for the pure convenience factor of not having to go to another gas station that is not on the way home.
I’ve also used the Car Wash a couple times and it does a pretty good job. You get a $ 2 discount off the car wash if you purchase a minimum of 5 gallons of gas. They also provide clean towels for you to wipe down your car (if you choose to) once you exit the car wash.
Its fast, fast friendly and convenient! Easy access to Northbound and South Bound 680.

Scrub-​a-​dub-​dub, this is the place to go for a quick wash of your vehicle after filling up the tank. It’s convenient location right off the freeway and San Ramon Valley Blvd, makes it hard to surpass the «oh I shouldn’t get my car washed here cause its an automatic machine…» woes that flood your head. Don’t worry, the *FREE* with gas purchase car wash will do your crusty vehicle some good on a hot sun shiny day. When you pull up to the little kiosk, its pretty self explanatory what to do next and when your wash is complete, they even have bins (about 3?) filled with clean white towels for any last minute once overs (or to wipe away any grubby 6 year old hand prints on the glass) before heading out.
The ultimate whore bath for your ride. That’s what’s up.

Shell is my official gas for all my cars. So this place is a must-​stop when my cars thirsty.
This gas station feels new and is always super clean. The people inside is pretty friendly depending on who you get.
The car wash here will get the job done on any daily driver. When your feeling lazy this is where your dirty car should be.
Air-​pump or Vaccum they have it all.
So stop here if you need a fill-​up or a clean-​up!

Prices are competitive & it’s on the right side of the street, Its before the 680 south freeway entrance so when my gas light is staring at me before I start my morning commute it’s easy to stop for a quick fill up. CLEAN BATHROOMS!!! Enough Said!

Easy access from the Freeway. Great for pit stops along 680. Good prices inside, not so much for gas. CLEAN, LUXURIOUS bathrooms. They seriously look like a nice lobby bathroom at a hotel.

This place is easy to get to from the freeway and clean.
I stopped here at 5:20 in the morning to get a cup of coffee since most coffee places are not open yet. The coffee is good for the price you pay and the place is very clean. What really amazed me is that the attendant is friendly at that time in the morning.
All in all I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quick friendly stop at a clean gas station, weather to fill up or empty out.

This place is newly built. Clean and easy access to 680.

One of the very few gas stations where an attendent (yes an attendent) is out at the pumps willing to talk with you. Just the other day he was pumping gas for a little old lady in her boat/​cadillac. The prices are competitive but are not the absolute lowest, still the service really makes this gas station great!
