Shell

Mom injured herself here. Manager refused to help and knew the pump we were using wasn’t working then refused to give us his name. Only reason I’d come back is with a lawsuit which we are thinking about since due to the faulty pump gas ended up splashing in the car so we all almost ended up in the hospital for being poisoned by fumes.

Just a heads up, this shell does not have a car wash.

Last night I pulled over to get gas for my car and another car parked not too far from the pump where I was getting gas from, and an old guy start washing the window of the other car; then another homeless person starts screaming. this is too scary to be getting gas at night. but its only 8 PM! when I realized the other homeless person is approaching my car, I decided to make my gas purchase short — $ 20.03 and the receipt was not even available, so I cancelled the receipt and made sure that the transaction was completed. I always reconcile my credit card purchases at the end of the day and when I saw my credit card purchase from this gas station, they posted a whooping $ 125.00 on my account! I notified my bank for this fraudulent charge! I called the gas station and told me that I should speak to the manager… which I am afraid that they will just give me lip service and can’t do anything about it!
Watch out… I think the homeless and beggars harassing customers at the pumps are just tactics to get you intimidated and frazzled so you «rush out» from the pump and get your credit card gouged!
I am NOY coming back to this gas station…

the absolute best!

It s the nearest Shell to my house. but the price is always high… Bad service as well. I always ended up driving further to buy gas if i am not un a hurry. Stay away from this place.

As I left the garage after work to go home at 10pm, needed to fill up gas before heading on the freeway. Went to the nearest gas station which was this one. The Mobil and Shell gas stations in Hollywood were $ 3.69 for the premium and $ 3.49 for the low grade the same day whereas this one was $ 3.99 for the low grade and $ 4.19 for the premium. What a rip off!

Rape Alley.
Not literally, but you WILL be harrassed even if you want it or not while you’re getting gas. You’ll get it… and you’ll get it hard.
This is pretty common at gas stations in the city when pan handlers and beggers stand around and hassle innocent unexpectant mothers for money as they are getting gas.
A lot of times they make up these elaborate stories like how they’re friends with Benjamin Franklin and their deloreon’s flux capacitor needs 1.21 gigawatts to run and they just need 67 more cents to buy the wattage.

«Buy Me Donuts Goddammit!»
***************************************
This place gives me the creeps. Unfortunately, its the only place in my neighborhood of South Park to fill up. I avoid this place at all costs. Even with my gas warning light on, I risk the drive and fill up elsewhere. They have to clean this place up. I am tired of getting hassled for change while pumping gas. I was getting berated by this homeless guy with Tourette’s Syndrome because he demanded I buy him donuts.
Its a sad and depressing place.

It all comes down to one thing at these types of place quality of the gas. and when it comes to quality, this shell station on grand and olympic does not disappoint! Bottom line when you’re reviewing a gas station is how competitive are their gas prices. I gave this place a one cause of the price its too expensive a lot of beggers around asking for money got someone in shorts.

I am always terrified to go to this gas station because of the random people walking around the parking lot. They are mainly there asking for change, of course. Most of them don’t even look homeless, just look like trouble makers who get pissed off if you say you don’t have change. One time I went inside to pay, walked out and some guy was standing near my car pumping my gas already. He said «only $ 2.00» and I told him I didn’t have it… and I honestly didn’t. Than he said «man…you rich folks always saying you don’t have money.» (Man…I wish I was rich). Than he walked away mumbling some stuff and I said «well you should wait to ask people if you can pump their gas before just doing it.» And he gave me the bird. LoL. Ugh! I just HATE HATE HATE people like that. If you’re an honest homeless person who wants my help than I will give it to you. But don’t be coming up to me looking like a crack head and getting mad at me for not supporting your habit.

It all comes down to one thing at these types of places: quality of the gas. And when it comes to quality, this Shell Station on Grand and Olympic does not disappoint!!! Yes it is a little on the expensive side but I am willing to sacrifice for gas that is this high quality. Typically I am a fan of entering my zip code instead of PIN number but at this station it does not bother me at all. I highly recommend coming here even if it is a little out your way because this is just good gas, and that is coming from someone who is typically a tough reviewer of gas.

I gave this place a one cause of the prices its too expensive a lot of beggers around askingfor money got someone in shorts randomly walking up thinkin his clean ur cars windows and waits for money not the ideal gas station to stop for gas best part in two weeks the marts turning into 711 u can’t hate that

The most convenient gas station
In Down Town LA when you need
Gas.
Usually this place have higher gas prices than others but that it is when you have a
Prime location near 3 major Freeways its just business.

Gas is 0.50 cents higher per gallon at this station. Mini mart was recently remodeled and converted into a 711.

Bottom line when you’re reviewing a gas station is ‘How competitive are their gas prices?’
That said, if you ever accidentally drive up to these pumps, then slam the car in reverse, floor it and get the hell outta there… unless of course you are the only person on the planet who prefers to get gouged.
I live blocks from this place and the prices for regular gas here are normally 50 cents (and MORE) above the area’s price. And that’s on a regular basis, I know because I pass this corner at least 5 – 6 times per week.
I have a 16 gallon tank so filling up costs about $ 8 more per tank… get the picture now?
That $ 8 can buy the draft beer of the night, an order of spring rolls and a pizza bread at Public School 612’s happy hour a few blocks away… a much better use of those funds… but that’s another review and topic…

I’m permanently boycotting this station. The owners don’t give a damn about the aggressive beggars harassing customers at the pumps. This station doesn’t have the cheapest gas either.
Unfortunately — they are the only station in the heart of South Park. Which explains the gouging and apathy by the owners. I usually fill up at the Chevron on Fig & Washington. But you can find stations further down Olympic past the 110.
Stories here to share:
One miscreant complained that Asian people were so cheap and never give any money. I responded with my own hypothetical racial generalization — and he actually apologized but grossly insisted on shaking hands.
The latest incident was a loud mouthed pushy type. He insisted on washing the car windows and started to do a play-​by-​play of how I was jump starting a car incorrectly. He wasn’t worth the effort for a middle finger when I drove away in the successfully jumped car.

What a rip off.
When you live in DTLA and are in deperate need for gas, this is probably one of the only places to get it! With that being said, they feel the need to mark up the prices WAYYYY more than other places. Went here last Saturday 4.75 a gallon for regular — of course once I left downtown I saw plenty of places offering regular for 4.13−4.25.
So, will I go here again? I’ll try NOT too — save yourself a little bit of money and gas up somewhere else. Also, it’s a pain in the butt getting in and out of this gas station!

Gas prices are stanky right now.
But at least when the average is like 3.80, this place is like 4.39?
Came here at night and there was a black man and white woman asking for money outside.
Sketchy? Sure why not.

I suppose they could make the prices higher… but they’re already in first place… :-P

Clean, well-​lit at night…
But dang, if the prices aren’t high! Guess those prices are influenced by the fact that it IS smack dab in the middle of downtown…
I always try to fill up elsewhere, but if ever I need some gas when I’m rolling in my ‘hood, this place does the job.
P. S. I do not like those talking people on the screens that show up when you start pumping gas… YOU know, the ones that pretend to knock on the glass? They sometimes startle me! Am I the only one, y’all?
