Monroe Shell

Fri between 10:00 –12:00 noon… Someone stole an overnight bag out of mu SUV… I thought I had locked it as I normally do. Anyway I went in paid for Gas and bought a few scratchers so I was in there a few mins. Went to my car put the gas in took off for home.1.5 ride… Got home unloaded the suv and HEY!!! OMG! wheres my overnighter? HAd pants, shoes, tops, sweater, lots of good make up and costume jewelery. Nice bAg as well… It literally makes me SICK! Thats the only stop I made, when leaving my girlfrinds place that AM… Just be on the Lookout at that station. PLEASE…LAurie

It’s convenient… was one of my «Go To» gas stations, but the crew seem a little different — not as friendly as before, but it’s ok.

Great location. Top quality gas aka shell. Great service. Swag.

Pros:
1. Conveniently located on Lawrence and Monroe
2. Cheaper than most other Shell stations
3. Next to a 7-​eleven
Cons:
1. Cannot easily get back onto Lawrence after re-​fueling

Just a quick update, finished kidney removal last week, all healed up. Sold kidney on Kenyan black market. Should be able to get a couple months worth of gas now.
Looking into manly part deposits now…

I am sucker for V-​power and this Shell used to have the cheapest price for V-​power with Octane 91 rating. Recently the price is just crazy at $ 3.37 per gallon. I am giving them 4 stars because it has a good location along Lawrence Expressway and very near my office. They have plenty of pump and so much spaces for car to enter and exit unlike the Chevron further down Lawrence.
Suggestion for the pushy sales people: If you want these people off your back, just tell them you recently bought 3 cans. They will go away or clean your headlight for FREE. BTW, I have purchased these FW1 car cleaning products and they are good.

I pull up for gas and am hounded by a girl asking to clean my windows. I tell her I just got the car washed and am not interested. She looks at my windshield and notices chips in the glass. Tells me she will repair them for free. I again tell her I’m not interested and that I’m in a hurry. She says, oh it will only be 5 minutes and then rattles off some laws indicating that it is illegal for me to not get this fixed. I basically tell her to step off as I’m not interested. She mumbles as she walks away.
I live only a couple blocks away from this place but it will be the first and last time I return there due to their pushiness. I notice others in the reviews also complain about this.
Otherwise the pumps work quickly and the card reader works. Another downside is it made me go in for a receipt and would not print out at the pump even though I put in my debit card.
This gas station blows.

I have lived near this station for years and over the last few months it has gone downhill. Constantly being hassled for some window or wax product. The people are pushy and non-​stop even after telling them you are not interested. Too bad I won’t be returning after years of patronage.

Thank god I filled up since beachy tourists don’t know how to !@#$#@$@#$@#$#@$@#$@$#% @#$#@$@#$@#$@#$ drive on 17 and with all the stop and go I would have ran out of gas coming back from the movies.
driving 17 is not hard. if you aren’t comfortable driving it then leave early in the morning, get on the right side of the road and don’t go below the speed limit on the left lane… christ!
gas was cheap and I was a happy camper on a full tank (until the 17 slow down)

This is the cheapest Shell station in the area. Only downside is sometimes they try to promote their spray on car wax, where somebody sneaks up on you while you are pumping gas:
WAX-​PERSON: «Would you like to see a demonstration?»
ME: «No, I’ve seen spray on car wax»
*Wax Person ignores me, sprays something the back of my car including rear window, then wipes it with a very dirty rag *
WAX-​PERSON: «See, it even works on glass!»
ME: «Yeah, great»
* Wax Person notices my passive-​aggressive tone, takes the hint and leaves *

This is one of the cheapest Shell’s in the south bay, at least by a few cents per gallon and they give you free air unlike some of the other gas stations now. I’ve now been know to schedule my lunches around passing by here when I need gas.
