Shell

There is some construction going on around there which is a little annoying but it’s not Shell’s fault. It is a smaller gas station about 3 gas pump areas. Inside is small but they have usual items that a gas station would have junk food, soda, juice cigarettes. Attendant was nice as well. Gas prices were lower than the average gas station especially cheaper than Mountain View and Palo Alto. Would definitely go again especially for the price.

Me: Can I have my $ 18 change on number 1?
Gas station attendant: Umm. would you like to buy something?
Me: No.
Gas station attendant: [looking dumb, like she just messed up] Sorry, I just deposited all the bills into the safe. I don’t have any bills to give back to you. I have to give you coins.
Me: Oh don’t worry about it, I was on my way to arcade!
Thanks for the service Alum Rock Shell. 8 gold coins and a roll of quarters later, the coin holder in my car is now full… smh.

Customer service is good. Except for the weird janitor guy, he always makes weird faces at me. Also, whatever you do, DO NOT use the bathrooms in this place. DO NOT. If you had to choose from a bush and thesw bathrooms, CHOOSE THE BUSH.

Came by to fill up the car the other day and it was a tricky experience. Alum Rock is under construction and one lane in each direction makes drivers behind me frustrated when I turn in to the gas station…
This location doesn’t accept Fuel Rewards program and didn’t have any paper towels available. …at least they had a squeegee by my pump?
The fuel pump was in good working order.

Most of the time their prices are lower than the other gas stations, but its still good quality and the gas lasts longer than expected.

I don’t like getting gas, but the person who works there is very friendly. Hooked me up with a penny.

If you are looking for cheap quality gas, this is the place to come. Don’t go to those sketchy gas stations, when you have a cheap shell gas station with easy highway access off of the 101. Love this place!

Having a diesel-​fueled car, I need to look a bit further.
What’s weird is that, as big as the SF BA is, there seem to be few stations with diesel and more diesel-​fueled cars than ever, since the Clean Diesel initiative.
I found this station after looking at several on Tully Road near the mall and checking further. What I didn’t expected was the chaos of trying to get to a pump.
It’s a tiny lot and there aren’t many stations. I’m not sure if every pump had diesel fuel available but of course, fuel filler doors are not standardized to one side, so people were re-​positioning constantly to get to the next pump.
Of course, when I finished, the receipt paper was missing, so I took a walk inside the store, which wasn’t bad. The attendant was friendly and gave me my receipt without a problem.
The price wasn’t bad – I really expected Shell to be way up there.

RIP! was generally the cheapest local gas, im sad. it’s a shell now.

The other night, my fiancé and I exchanged cars, and his was almost out of gas. I needed to get on the freeway and was literally running on fumes. I saw this gas station, and it was packed. I had to wait so long, that I turned off the car and waited. After almost being hit by and exiting car, I pulled up to a pump. I put my debit card in and selected regular. The regular gas was flashing «00.00», so I thought that maybe the pump was out of regular. I tried to switch to mid-​grade, but it wouldn’t change. I cancelled my transaction and tried again with mid-​grade. The gas pump would not pump. I was frustrated, but there was another open pump, so I moved over. I put in my debit-​card, and it said «see attendant». I went in and told one of the ladies what happened. She told me I was doing it wrong. I told her I was not, so she said she would come out and show me. She asked me to give her my debit card, and I said, «no». Is she crazy? I’m not going to to give you my debit card. She then said, it won’t work because I scanned it too many times. I said, fine, and that I would use my credit card. Then she asks me to hand it to her, and again I say, «no». Well then, with her hands on her hips, she watched me pump gas. This gas station will never get my service again if I can help it. I pumped about 5 gallons, and left.

Lower prices, precios bajos y buena calidad de gasolina, the best gas station on my business area
