Shell – Brea

I was in a panic because my phone broke and was expecting a call from my daughter.
I stopped at every place that would normally have had a payphone back in the dinosaur ages, when I was young.
Every phone I came across was either broken or missing the receiver.
THERE ARE LITERALLY NO PAYPHONES IN ORANGE COUNTY!
There was a very young looking man behind the counter. When I asked if he knew where I could find a functioning payphone, he gave me his personal cell to borrow. I thought that was very kind.
For the most part, I believe customer service is dead, but this gentleman has proven my wrong.
Thank you!

Had to use the services of their garage to get some minor repairs done. Always greeted with a smile. Techs were courteous and took care of my problem in a timely manner. Was even given a home made cookie while I waited.

this shell price wise is better than most other shell stations. it may be because the city charges lower sales tax. normally it is about 10 – 30 cents lower than other shell station. the snake bar is very small and very few options.

This place falls flat on so many levels.
I was in a hurry, and had to get gas here again. At least now they have the part of the sigh taped over saying that the Shell Card is same as cash price-​IT ISN’T.
So I use my Shell card, because I am enrolled in Fuel Rewards Network (FRN). When I swipe the FRN card, the pump comes back «Rewards Network Unavailable’… Really?
So I proceed with a Shell card purchase, no FRN, and the screen says «Get your receipt for a great offer». Ok. I finish and get my receipt… it is for a Fuel Rewards Network signup… the same one that just didn’t work. What is wrong with these people?

Good gas station, good price for the quality. I like their convenient store that has everything I need.

Open twenty four hours, not only is this Shell open twenty four hours, they offer same as cash prices if you have a Shell credit card, and they are also in a convenient location just of Imperial Highway in Brea.

Great option for a quick smog check
This is just for the repair portion– the gas station itself is nice but waaaay to expensive.
I don’t think this place is star certified, but it’s a great option for a quick smog check. I was selling a car and needed a cheap and simple smog check. This Shell worked out perfectly.
The guy who runs the shop was really friendly and made the whole process quick and painless. He seemed appreciative of my business and thanked me for stopping by– simple politeness that is a rarity nowadays.
Check it out.

Definitely a good place to go. I’m weary of most mechanics that ill get ripped off, especially because I’m a girl but I felt like I got a really good deal from these guys here and they were super nice. Came here for my smog check because its advertises as 29.99 it comes out to like $ 45 after u pay the tax and certificate fees and stuff but still cheaper then most other places that quoted me. They also do free brake checks and my brakes were squeaking for weeks so I asked them to check it out for me. They gave me a call back and let me know my front brakes were for and my rotors needed to be resurfaced and that my back brakes were fine and I wouldn’t need to change those for a while. They were completely non pressuring about asking me if I wanted to change my brakes that day but let me know they had a special going for 170. I called around other places including Honda and found that the standard was about 199 so I took them up on their offer. They had me in and out in about an hour and a half for my smog check brakes and brake check. Great guys!

I’m usually getting gas once the sun goes down, which makes me prefer this Shell, due to the ample amount of lighting and open space. Shell always seems to have reasonable gas prices to me and they keep their stations clean.
