Jamacha Shell Oil Car Wash

I’ve been coming to this gas station for over 15 years with no issues. Of late, after swiping card and putting hose in tank, looks like it’s beginning to fill tank but doesn’t. When attempt to redo transaction, can’t. Have to go in. Clerk says it was «cancelled» but can’t prove. Have to check statement to see. Never happened in past but three times in past two months!
Update: Went in on 2÷16÷16 and put all information in and said transaction was «cancelled». Looked at my activity online and I was charged. Have to dispute. Something’s going on here. I’d watch out for now.

This was my ideal gas station sadly now it’s not on my route. It was the cheapest gas in the area and the best because it lasted me forever ! The car wash is great too I used to use it all the time some water spots stay I would just park on the side and wipe it off. Never felt the need to deal with associate because I would always card to pay :)

I’ve been going to this car wash for about eight years now. The reason for that is because I have always owned luxury black sport cars and we all know that with a shiny black car, the last thing you want to do is run it through a drive-​thru car wash and get your car scratched up. I’ve seen different owners & managers come & go and different staff members come and go but so far they have all been very hard workers. Despite the language barrier at times, there is always at least one person who speaks English clearly and relays the messages.
Now, as far as price goes, at one point I would always feel guilty with their base price and would always give them a 100% tip. The prices now have increased but are very much worth it for the job done, especially compared to other larger places that charge you 10 times as much, run your car through a machine & do a mediocre job @ drying it.
I don’t see myself going anywhere else for a car wash, as a matter fact I’ll be going there later today.

This place has some shady business practices going on. Significant price differences between what’s posted on the street sign and what’s actually being charged at the pump. Our credit card has been suspiciously high-​jacked after using this gas station. Also, the state regulated red stickers are tampered with and have been torn off by employees. Shady, shady, shady!

In my opinion: not worth the money. Go somewhere else.
Only the basic carwash was available. I couldn’t select the premium which I wanted. The machine cleaned the sides well, but left a huge patch in the middle where the rollers did not remove the dirt evenly. Some patches were clean, some were not.

These guys are awesome, they do a great job, and the price is great, never go to another car wash again!

This is an easy in and out gas station. I love that they have good gas. I use my Ralph’s points to get discounts on gas prices.

I used to frequent here … until That time 2013 when I had a low tire pressure. The valve on the air fill machine had been broken or tampered with. Instead of filling with air it removed the remaining air from the tire! I asked the clerk if he knew about it. he acted like he did not speak English. boy was I p.o.‘d to say the least. so I «limped» down to the Circle K /​76 who has a wonderful computerized tire pressure/​radiator fill water station. Your LOSS RSD jamacha shell. for a self serve you need to step it up and at least Speak with your customers & provide accurate equipment or place an out of order sign on it. Get Real Please. :/

Seriously, it’s a freaking gas station with a non-​touchless car wash (in other words… no entry for my car). Prices are similar to the other stations in the Rancho area. I have to give four stars because they seem to run out of receipt tape in the machines. That seriously pisses me off. If I wanted to talk to somebody, I wouldn’t be paying at the pump… yes???
Oh, and I’m still looking for the a$$ that cut me off the other day and took my pump. We will meet again.

this place is amazing! the guys really are good at making sure the car is clean. This place is cheap but they way they clean your car you feel bad and end up giving them a big tip. honestly this is the only car wash place I go to because they Sweatwater car wash is disgusting. If you want to get an awesome hand car wash go here.

Shell gas stations over all as a whole is just my #1 choice when it comes to filling up my truck. I’ve always trusted their gas and really never had a problem getting my tank dirty.
Okay, this is a private owned gas station (guessing) that goes w/​o saying its a great quick in & out fill-​up stop. Located in a great busy shopping center in Rancho San Diego. They don’t really have a walk-​in store, its pretty much gas, car wash and some soft drinks i.e. pepsi, coke products and candy.
Now, if your looking for a quick clean-​up car wash well you seriously might want to think about paying that $ 5 that keeps on pop’n up while filling up your tank. You know the message that keeps on coming up saying «CAR WASH? YES /​NO» go for it and select Yes its worth the drive-​thru self car wash.
I ran my truck few times (when needed) and I have to say the out come is A+ over all.

This shell station is very small and doesn’t really have much to offer. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This gas station usually has the cheapest gas on Jamacha and if not there is only about 2 cent difference. I hope everyone has enjoyed my review on this gas station, have a nice day.

Who would write a REVIEW on a GAS STATION?! seriously, right?
I know what you’re thinking. This girl has TOO MUCH time on her hands. But, like everyone else, I am a busy person too, but I feel so strongly about this gas station, that I HAD to sit myself down & share the wealth!
Why this gas station is the best gas station in all of El Cajon:
1. Hand sanitizers for your use in btwn all the gas pumps :) If you’re a clean freak like me, & don’t wanna think about all the other drivers before you who’ve ALSO fueled their car at that pump… you’ll really appreciate this feature.
2. Clean, blue water (most likely a mixture of water & some cleaning agent) in those little «squeegee» holders, which I also appreciate. I swear, a lot of other gas stations have disgusting, murky water in there & it just shows that they could care LESS whether or not they have your business. This station’s owner seems to care about all of us & it’s one of the little things that keep me coming here!
3. IT TAKES CREDIT CARDS!!!
4. This awesome station also has a CAR WASH! woot woot! You can choose from Regular, Rainbow Shine, & Rain-​X options, & they are $ 6, $ 8, & $ 10, I believe. Plus, I’ve never had any problems getting my car washed there & it does a pretty good job, considering how tiny my car is: D
5. THE SQUEEGEE HAS A LONG HANDLE. Have you ever been to a gas station with those cheap squeegees & teeny tiny handles? If you do, then you know what I mean. If everyone had a smart car, then & ONLY THEN would those suffice to clean your car windows. Seriously. This place gets EVERYTHING right. No joke.
6. This last one is iffy, because I’m not ENTIRELY sure of its existence (even though I just went there today… sorry I usually just squeegee my windows when my car is being fed), but I’m 75% sure that this station has those little TVs at the pumps for your viewing pleasure. Another plus!
I really wish every gas station had all the amenities listed above… would make getting gas a lot more pleasant! :)
