Shell

Great Prices, self serve — and the best part — we had trouble using our «Stop and Shop» savings and the attendant came out in the cold and walked us through it. Thank You!

Singh and Sons Auto Repair took out a full-​page ad in a local newspaper with an ad that read $ 14.95 for an oil change. With a reasonable price like that I decided to give them a try. Shell gas station at 650 Hillside Avenue in New Hyde Park. I showed up with the ad and the employee remarked, «I think this ad just expired.» Today (⁹⁄₂) was the last day. How could you not know when your full-​page ad with coupons expires? The mechanic found something «wrong» with the car, which, coming in with a coupon for an oil change, was entirely expected (my tires are fine). It’s the nature of the business. I was in and out in 30 minutes, and the manager thanked me for the business, This is a family-​run operation. Customer service is a bit lacking (they claim to be open 24-​hours/​day, but I had called for four days to find out when I could bring my car in for an oil change, and staff only picked up the phone once). They likely leave the pumps running for 24 hours for people that choose to use credit to pay for gas (for now it’s the same price, cash or credit). If they offer deals down the road, I would return.
