Pasadena Shell Service

Avoid! Shell is normally one of the most cost-​effective stations around. This is one of two exceptions in all of Los Angeles that I’ve seen (the other in Chinatown on Hill). This franchisee should be banned as they are ALWAYS 20 – 50 cents higher than everyone else. SHAME ON YOU PROFIT WHORES!

This gas station is incredibly expensive ($ 1.50 more per gallon than gas stations five miles in any direction). Today (July 2015) they’re charging around $ 5.10 per gallon while a Shell station in La Canada Flintridge is charging $ 3.60 per gallon. This gas station isn’t near an airport or rental car terminal, so I don’t know why they’re marking up gas prices by 40−50%. To add insult to injury, they also charge you extra to use a credit or debit card.
They also allow bums to hang out around the perimeter, so there are significant security concerns, especially after the sun goes down.

i wine to the station stop to buy gas they are frindly peopol there .they thank me i got the help i need i ask him abut the prices gas they told me cash and c. card prices they frindly even i ask for air pump its free bathroom clean custmer only l like the ide

Wow these guys are Galligan everybody for gas prices. I think I saw a regular for what 369 are you kidding me what a rip off

ATTENTION! Do not come here. Got charged $ 99 on my card! I have a 2.0 liter 1991 camry. I filled it up with 13 gallons which costs $ 54 and some change. How can you even put $ 99 in a car?! I called to get to the bottom off it and the Cashier cursed me out then hung up the phone. Thanks Shell!

It gets one star for existing. Other than that I would have given it zero for lousy service, false advertising, and overpricing. I went to use my Ralph’s rewards. The pump said I got 20 cents off per gallon at $ 4.21 a gallon, therefore should have showed $ 4.01. It only went to $ 4.17 and when I went in to ask the manager why and to please fix it he said «cash only». I replied «you’re the only shell station that doesn’t honor the 20¢ off reward by credit card. Do you want my $ 70 fillup or should I take my money and my business elsewhere?» He said «sorry, can’t» so I drove a quarter mile to the Mobil station and got a lower price than I would have with a discount from the overpriced Shell. I will still go to the Shell in Burbank where they homer the discount cash or credit.

Who am I to disagree with their 1 star rating? I cannot argue with everyone else. I have to agree that this gasoline station is way overpriced! I made the mistake of stopping here once. That will not happen again.

This station can be described in one word: OVERPRICED. I’m not sure if it is because they are so convenient to the highway or what, but their prices are easily 10 – 20 cents more than other stations in the area or in Burbank.
Also, if you are a female, I would not recommend going here at night. Lots of shady characters hanging around and I have rarely been here without being approached by someone asking for a handout.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! The cashier guy middle eastern named MIRAN, kicked me out of the store. I was getting coffee and trying to fill my cup and it just took me so long (which i want it to be really tasty), the told me that he’s going to close the store and I needed to step out of the place like at that very moment! Telling me to not get the coffee anymore and instead go out of the store. This is not right! I have the right to buy coffee! And not just tell me to get out! This is BS! In fact i paid the coffee! And wasnt really satisfied!!!

Shady. The lighted sign reads Self-​Service and Full-​Service. I used my debit card at the self service pump only to find the higher gas price being dispensed. I stopped the pump and went inside to inquire about the price. The guy inside said that the price was for cash and credit/​debit cards. He told me to look harder and I’d find the signage. Take a look at the picture. Really? Last time I go there.

Hell to the no. I feel bad for the owners because they’re in such a horrible location. This gas station is down right dangerous at night. My own friend was robbed at gunpoint. Another time my sister had to literally drive away from some creepy guy who wouldn’t leave her alone. I’m not lying when I say I will not go here at night. Ever.

Avoid at all cost. I’d rather call triple A, than pay 30 cents extra just for using my credit card.

high priced, not going again

Agreed with what everyone has written in terms of price of this establishment. I also noticed broken seals on the pumps, which if you read what they say «please notify attendant if seal is broken». Seems like they could care less.

I have lived in pasadena for over 30 years. I don’t remember when these people bought this station but I am convinced this is a front for organized crime. The prices are outrageous, they never have customers (and if you wonder why just read the previous reviews). The proprietor is a lying sack of s$&@. I do not understand why no one has reported them to the feds for their illegal business practices. They are a putrid boil on the city of pasadena

Overpriced. Im also sure they over measure. I have a motorcycle that takes 2.9 — 3.1 gallons once the warning comes on. I get over 3.6 at a warning light level with their pumps measuring. 10% error… I wont come here with any of my cars on empty.

Same as everyone else here. Super overpriced as I noticed when I went north from here just across the bridge and it was like 50 cents cheaper. Also, this morning I found out that they charged me $ 1.00 twice for the machine not working along with the $ 30 I paid when I went inside to get gas. The guy inside was the worst as well. The worst gas station ever.

Cash & credit price. Check before you pump!
Gas is super overpriced here !! only fill if you’re desperate. Otherwise steer clear!

This is the worst gas station EVERRRR! They must mess with the pump so your first ten dollars is nothing! I hate putting gas here but some how always land low on fuel in this area! Please avoid this overpriced rip off. Avoid this station at all cost! Plus the Jersey Shore Douchebag that works there (Sons owner) Sucks. They can care less. Cant wait until the feds raid this place. :)

I echo eveything else said about this place: overpriced retail, rude management and a parking lot that resembles a post-​apocalyptic dream sequence. No doubt the abandoned husks of cars that litter the place are from former owners who said «F– this place: I’d rather just leave my hoopdie here than have to deal with these a-​holes.»
I’ve sent both Nicholas Cage and Michael Bay a personal invitation to blow this place up in their next film.
