Varcados Shell

Quick service and friendly staff. I got my state inspection done recently and my car was in and out extremely fast.

Love these guys at Varcados Shell Station. They know what they are doing.

Wish I could give 0 stars. $ 105 for an oil change?! I am new to the area and needed a place close, stumbled upon this place. When I dropped off they made me fill in my own invoice giving no indication of a price… then when I pick up $ 105? Can’t even wash the car? Didn’t realize synthetic oil goes for a similar rate as gold. Additionally, the workers are extremely rude.

Somehow these guys have figured out how to charge $ 99.99 for an oil change & keep their business alive.
There is a car service center right across the road with more reasonable pricing.

I have been to this service station a handful of times over the past 2 years. I have had 3 oil changes, 2 car washes and the occasional stop for gas and a red bull. The place is smack dab in the middle of my house and work so it couldn’t be a better location for me.
The guys who run the joint give off a Greek/​Italian mafioso vibe.
On my lunch break last week I went here to get an oil change and a car wash. I parked and started walking towards the entrance where one of the crew was standing. I told him I wanted a basic car wash and oil change. He said «go talk to the Mexican in the back for the car wash». It came off as coarse, but the wise guy was pushing 70 — what do you want me to do, teach him a lesson in PC?
So I walked around back and found a guy waxing a Rover and told him I wanted an interior vacuum and a basic car wash. He informed me that his crew only did the detail work and that I need to talk to the guys up front about a basic wash and pointed out the Cosa Nostra that were toweling off a car coming out of the touch less wash. Ooookie-​dokie…
So back around to the front, I saw my co-​worker who was waiting for me and gave him the 1 minute signal. Inside, the same wise guy was behind the counter now and I told him that I didn’t want detail work, just a basic wash and vacuum. He yelled back at me «I told you already, you need to talk to the Mexicans in the back there for a car wash!». I yelled back at him, speaking sarcastically slow, like to a child «I want my car washed by the machine and vacuumed — I don’t want wax or shampooed carpets — just a basic wash and an oil change». He started flailing his hands around above his head and kept yelling again about the Mexicans in the back and how many times does he need to say it. I thought this was amusing and I had my phone in my hand so I quickly opened snapchat so I could entertain my friends with his antics, but by the time I started filming he had stopped. We stared at each other in silence for a solid 5 seconds before I broke it by asking him if I was actually in fact doing something wrong in asking for services that their gas station has performed for me multiple times in the past. He gave the the mafia style wave off thing that they do when they want you to leave.
Upon turning around to walk out, I saw there was a customer who witnessed the whole thing, so if you’re reading this then give me a thumbs up or something.
They didn’t get my business, which seems to have been his goal in the first place for some reason. And I drive a 2011 vehicle with after market wheels and tires. It’s not like I don’t fit their target demographic in the middle of memorial park & up town.
If you go here for service, be ready for an argument. If you go here for entertainment, have your camera ready and be ready for an argument.
TLDR — there’s an old underboss who works here who’s basically the Soup Nazi of gas stations.

Our cars have been serviced here twice, and we experienced EXCELLENT service both times!
First: my husband car broke down, had to be towed to a service station. AAA recommended some place, but the tow truck driver brought us here. It was 8pm, and they were open! Many expensive cars were parked in the lot, which showed me that they must have a great reputation. His car was fixed the next day, and the price was amazing for what he had done.
Second: I was nearing a flat tire and risked driving 8 miles on the highway to get here. I went in at 7:30am on a Saturday morning and was seen right away. The technician showed my what was wrong with my tire, fixed it on the spot and showed me how it was fixed.
We are new to the area and are SO happy to our found our mechanic so quickly!

I went for a car inspection to renew my vehicle registration. The car inspection was an easy process, it took less then 30 minutes and cost $ 30.00. The staff/​attendants are helpful. I would recommend this station for car services.
