Shell Station

I had a low tire pressure signal come up on dashboard and asked the guy at gas station if they had the tool to check tire pressure and though I thought he will offer me to buy one, he offered one that I could borrow and didn’t have to buy. I thought that was very helpful. And since I was at couple other gas stations first, which didn’t have a working air pump machine for tires, I was glad that finally found a working air pump at this gas station and that didn’t have to keep driving to find working one.

This place is a total scam. They rip you off by pending charges on pumps that don’t work but take your credit card. I tried to swipes cars three times on a pump that supposedly didn’t work and was charged $ 1 for each swipe as a pending charge.
Then they made me prepay $ 30 of gas saying I would be credited with what wasn’t used. I was never credited. I drove back to try and get a credit but the owner Jose is not available. Do not buy gas here. Unscrupulous business practices!!!

Came here for the car wash. Yes, it is pathetic in terms of water pressure. However, it is one of the few automatic, 24-​hour washes near Lakeview, Lincoln Park and therefore can get the job done in a fast way. I prefer the on on Fullerton by the onramp; howver, they close on holidays.

DO NOT GO to this gas station! They have a complete scam going! If you buy 20 dollars worth of gas they will debit your debit card 50 dollars! They will say it’s pending! There will say it’s too bad! They hung up on me! I know of no other gas stations including other Shell stations that overcharge you then hold the funds! If you go here you will get a surprise on your bank statement. I wonder if you buy 40dollars worth of gas if they will debit 100???

Not good. I go to this Shell a lot since it’s close to my house, and I park on the street so my car needs to be washed regularly. This car wash used to be OK, but the last few times I’ve gone it’s been a disaster. The wash just dribbles water over the car, the brushes don’t touch the car and then at the end something else dribbles out that smells good but leaves an awful film on all the glass. It’s so bad that I can’t even run my wipers to get it off. Last time I couldn’t see out of my windows. I had to go home, run upstairs to get some glass cleaner and towels, and clean all the windows several times before I got them clean enough to see through. After all this my car was still as dirty as before. Pay the extra $ and skip the wash. :(

Boom!
Any gas station that advertises their price per gallon with car wash instead of regular price is a 1 star gas station!

I really really had to pee and lo and behold they had public toliets and the gas station attendant didn’t give me any guff about borrowing the key even though I wasn’t even filling up at the station.

This place is a trip. NEVER seen anyone filling up there. They are currently $ 1.00 per gallon higher than the Mobil across the street. Definitely something strange going on there.

Tonight I saw two interesting events as I drove past the Pulaski Shell:
1) Their gas price fell below the 4.40 mark for the first time in ages, nonetheless, still no one was purchasing gas here.
2) Cop cars… hmmm? Maybe they’ve been reading my reviews & they are on to them.
–If tomorrow’s paper reads Gas station laundering drug money, just remember you read it here first.
