Shell

Overall: Kind of a scary Shell for some reason it feels ghetto. It’s lighted well like most gas stations though. It’s on the corner of Capitol and Berryessa in the same plaza as CVS and Safeway. The convenient store is on the older side and not like the newer Shell gas stations that have popped up. I give them three stars for A-​OK.

This is really pissing me off! I’m going to continue posting until this is fixed! So damn! Slllooooooooooooooooow!

Slowest car wash ever. There were 2 cars ahead of me so please tell me why I was stuck waiting for 45 minutes! Waste of time and gas just for a car wash. Never again.

I mean I have to give 5 stars for their great little supermarket… all brand new and cleanest place I’ve ever been to and they offer more than most places… so modern In there… and gas prices are really reasonable compared To others !!

This gas station tricks you since it has one price listed at 3.94 and the other 4.09
I was thinking it was cheaper since most gas stations around the area were 3.99.
WRONG. It’s only 3.94 when you purchase a car wash, and 4.09 otherwise. So since I was there already, I just paid for the 4.09 which was more than gas stations I was right next to previously.
Usually prices vary based on cash, but this one is a lower price per gallon only when you get a car wash.
It’s in super fine print, and the car wash isn’t even open. Why bother.

Prob one of the best gas stations in the area. They have lots of lottery tickets available. Gas prices are pertty competitive. People allways nice here. Plus they all knkw who I am that allways helps. Haha

Super cheap gas for being right off the freeway.

I would give this Shell gas station 3.5 stars if we could give half stars on Unilocal since it is not my favorite Shell gas station, but I like this Shell gas station over other Shell gas stations nearby. I like how this location takes off 5 cents from the cost of gas per gallon when you use a Shell gift card. The Shell gas station on Capitol Ave/​Hostetter Road does not give the 5 cent discount. Five cents does not sound like a lot, but these stations are not too far from each other. So I much rather go to this location over the Capitol Ave/​Hostetter Road location if I can. The station looks clean and is brightly lit during night time hours. I have not been here during rush hour, so I do not know if it gets crowded here. When I pump gas here, there is usually no line or a very short line.

I recommend if you live within 5 miles from here you go to this Shell Gas Station instead. They have more pumps for you, the equipment is newer, and it’s a much larger space so you definitely won’t be next to the car across from you. Also if you use a shell gift card this is one of the few Shell stations that’ll discount you 5 cents a gallon for using a gift card. I’ve been doing it for years !

This station’s one of the nicer gas stations in that it’s spacious and has lots of available pumps so you don’t have to worry about overcrowding here. The other thing keeping this one from overcrowding is that the prices aren’t the most competitive, but it’s not the most expensive either. Does the job, has plenty of lighting in the evenings.

Pros:
Most competitive pricing for name brand gasoline (Shell/​Chevron/​76) in the area
Spacious area for easy maneuvering — doesn’t get super crowded like at the Hostetter and Capital Shell
Large Snack and Bev assortment
Cons:
No car wash
Air pump for tires is not complimentary (other stations let you get free air if you’ve pumped gas at their station)

There’s a Shell a few blocks from here (Hostetter/​Capitol); even though this one doesn’t have a drive-​thru car wash but this station is spacious, have a huge storefront for your snacks and beverage needs, and it’s a few cents cheaper than the one I mentioned on Hostetter.
Going in and out of this station is quite easy and if you are lucky, you’ll see the Wow truck or Soulenese truck right there and on certain nights, Mogo’s and Scoops at BofA.
