Shell

This place is a piece of garbage, with horrible service. They sold me a car washing the car wash was broken down so they took me to a new location. That car wash was in operable either so the head mechanic come tomorrow I came the next day and they still were not working after driving all those miles in rush-​hour. I asked for a refund and he wouldn’t give it to me said he would have to recalculate the gas discount and then add in the six bucks so I thought that was complete utter bull up to have me drive up and down the last two days. I don’t have a big tolerance for cheap people. This is where capitalism does not work. When the car was finally work here I am within the 14 day window, it was horrible. I took a video of how horrible it was. Shooting light amounts of soap like amounts of water I am now out of the car wash and my car still soaking wet. I’m never even buying a lottery ticket from the hole

I went here for gas and a car wash at 5:45AM. The pump allowed me to buy the car wash, but when I turned around to enter, I saw that it was closed. I went inside and asked the guy about it and he says that he will open the car wash in 15 minutes at 6AM. So, I waited in my car until 6Am, then I waited until 6:05. Then I went inside and told the guy to give me my $ 6 back because I could not wait around until he decides to open the car wash. He certainly could have opened it at anytime I was there, including at 6AM when he said he would open it. I left with my $ 6 and I am not going back there.

This is it one of the better Shell stations that I have been too. There is plenty of room to maneuver your car around and you will never get boxed in by other cars. In other words it’s a quick in and out fill up. There is a carwash year but I would never take advantage of it because nothing comes close to a hand wash. The tiles and windshield wash squeegee reservoir has always been full when ever I have visited this gas station. Prices of gas remain on par with other gas stations found in the area. They have vacuum and air services for a nominal charge. They also have a very large inside in case you feel like getting some snacks or beverages for the road. The only qualm I have with the place is that it is accessible from waukegan if you are headed north. I think they should provide an opening in the road barrier to cut over especially since there is two turning lanes for traffic that wants to make a left. It is not like it would slow down traffic.

Gas prices are what they are.
Just a gas station/​car wash, no service.
But Michael is the friendliest gas station attendant I’ve encountered. He is always cheerful, friendly and courteous. We need more people like him!

I drive by this station every day, and I noticed that their posted price was consistently a little lower than others in the area. So one day when I needed gas, I pulled in and bought a tankful.
The problem is, the price you pay isn’t the amount displayed in huge numbers on the sign unless you’re buying a car wash. It’s the higher amount that is shown in the small numbers at the bottom of the sign. If you’re busy watching traffic, you probably wouldn’t even notice this. As a result of this mistake, I had to pay a lot more than I expected. The attendant was unsympathetic.
It turns out that the price you pay without buying a car wash is actually consistently higher than what other area stations charge by 10 to 20 cents per gallon. So unless you actually want to buy a wash, you would be better off not to buy gas here.
This issue does not appear to be unique to this station. I’ve noticed that all of the Shell stations that have a car wash charge higher prices than other local stations, unless you buy the wash.

DO NOT WASH YOUR CAR THERE IF YOU HAVE A ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNA.
The air dryer will rip it right off.
The metal blower hole goes right over the roof. Other car washes its higher & never ripped off my antenna.
The screw broke inside the base so I had to drill it out.

A gas station like any other except with higher prices… what more can I say? The name should be enough for anyone to know what the deal is. Haha.

This is a gas station/​mart with attached car wash. Car wash is automated and the towels which splash against the car (I believe) are chamois. A benefit of fueling here is you get a discount on gas with the purchase of a car wash. Discount can be valued up to twenty cents lower than the regular gas price.
There are three types of washes and they start at five dollars. When fueling a car with a bigger tank, it’s a benefit. For those of you reading this with a compact, you could head to the Mobil on Washington and Golf and get the same deal and only pay $ 2.99 for the lowest type of wash. Of course we would all benefit with that tidbit I just gave away. My only beef with this wash is the short amount of time allotted for drying of your vehicle. The timer is not working and the stoplight indicator at the end of the track is in disrepair so you haven’t any idea how much time (if any) there should be for drying. Other then that, it’s a decent wash.
