I have used this Shell Gas & Car Wash throughout the years with no problem at all but today was not a good morning 5-26-2025. The lady employee who has her dog outside in the lot & was working, usually she is decent. It started off when I walked in and said "I would like $18 gas and also pay for a Car Wash", she looked at me and said "How can that be?" Then I had to repeat myself 3 times, she wasn't getting it. I 'finally said I just go out there and pay at the pump... the pump took my card, then it wouldn't pump gas... I go back in and couldn't even finish my sentence asking for help, she was not in a good mood this morning. That was the 1st incident, then I went to the car wash, and it rinshed the car, rinsed the tires to start, then the soap... then bamm the machine got stuck where I can hear the clicking and waiting 7 minutes for it to continue, NOTHING.... I looked at my receipt to call, there was no phone number to . I waited 10-minutes, stuck in the non working carwash, I did go in to kindly tell her the CarWash didn't complete it's task, it got stuck. Sadly she wasn't hearing me, made it like it was my fault... She had a defensive mechanism, I didn't want to get into that her state of mind was not normal... I finally said, forget it and just left. She was rude this morning, challenging to a customer, didn't even consider to listen to what I was trying to say in a kind way... "Lady,the Shell company's CarWash is not working, it got stuck! Please send this employee to Ehics Training and Customer Service Training, She needs it and does not represent this company well. I will forgive her treatment but will never forget this horrible morning due to her lack of understanding. read more

I usually come here, but today a lady with short hair approached me nice, gave her my money to pump my gas, was waiting for her to ask me if I had Rewards but she didn't. She looked and me with her hands like "what are you still doing here?" Basically.... I looked at her and said "can I put my rewards in?" And she tried to act nice & said "yeah! Sure!" Mind you, killed my mood for her being rude looking at me like that. OH and she was on the phone the whole time. I'm still going to come here, hoping her attitude changes next time. read more

I purchased the $10.99 wash and put in my code. On entering I drove a tad over the line so the machine soaped my car but did not wash it. It then instructed me to exit. I parked and went in to tell the cashier the problem, requesting a new receipt. She was rude and beyond nasty and told me that I did not know how to use a car wash and that she was not giving me back any money or a new receipt. I decided not to get irate but I wanted to reach across and yell at her. Finally she printed a new receipt and literally threw it at me. To end it all it was one of the worst car washes I've had and left water spots everywhere in fact the back of my car, which is a hatchback, was not cleaned at all. I wonder if she is the owner. I will definitely not be going back. read more

This is for the car wash. It's so easy to go and in and out of this gas station, and there's usually no line or only a short line for the wash. The attendant is super nice and directs you if you need any help -- very attentive and helpful. I go here every time I'm in town. read more

Running late to a wedding with a dirty car I searched Shell Gas stations as I know some have washes. After reading the reviews here I was hesitant but it was my only option. I even called and asked if they used soap to which an Indian guy who had obviously been asked many time replied they did indeed. Long story short they did use soap but the wash is a bare bones one without the wheel guide that most have. There were a lot of soap spots but the car was generally clean overall. If you're not in a rush don't come here but in a pinch it will do fine. read more

Camarillo Shell - Gas Stations Near Me - Camarillo, California

The car wash is a total waste of $10. My car still is dirty and has water spots everywhere. I should have just hosed it down at home.

A good place, close to In & Out and Camarillo Outlet with 24hrs store! Very Convenient.

Worst car wash ever. Don't waist your money or time. This wash was so bad it actually ended up making my car worse. Mind you, my car just needed a quick car wash before a rode trip. So I had to go to another car wash and wash it again. read more

Very poor service this guy doesn't know how to work the front desk. I don't even know why he's in the front. Can't speck English and when i ask him why can't u get someone to help me he got piss. I ask for the management on duty and he got piss off and told me some Spanish bad words. That's when I went to me car and took this picture of him flipping me off. Worst gas station in the whole Ventura Country. Look for the picture of the guy flipping me off. read more

I have had good luck in the past with the Camarillo shell car wash. Today I went and the car wash monitor instructed me to pull forward and stop. I was way too far forward when the wash started and it didn't wash the entire front of my car. I never make complaints ever but I thought I should let the cashier know in case something was wrong with the car wash. He told me "you pulled too far forward and no one else has complained since it's been on since 6am". Normally the wash will tell you to back up if you're too far forward this is why I wanted to let him know. I wasn't expecting anything but a refund or the courtesy of driving through again would have been nice. I was kind and was met with such rudeness and horrible customer service. read more

Camarillo Shell - front of car after shell car wash - Gas Stations Near Me - Camarillo, California

I bought a car wash in cash on the machine. The machine didn't print a receipt since it was out of paper. Then the car wash was out of order. they knew it was out of order and didn't put a sign on it. I asked for a refund and was asked for my receipt. I asked him how I'm supposed to give him a receipt when his machine isn't printing. He said, "How am I supposed to know that you bought a car wash without a receipt?" Then he said I could come back when the manager was there. This happened a while back and I used to get gas there a lot, but after that exchange my fiancé and I have not returned. Terrible business practices. read more

Great location, situated right across the street from the 101 highway, and at the moment the prices are fantastic. If you have a Ralphs card it's even cheaper and you can earn points! They have snacks and drinks galore! The cashier is nice and the place is kept pretty clean. read more

Camarillo Shell - The dust that was still on the back after the wash. - Gas Stations Near Me - Camarillo, California

For starters, the code on the receipt is illegible. gave it my best guess a couple times before having to reverse out and get help from the cashier. Followed by a wash that, no exaggeration, left my car dirtier than when I started. Avoid at all costs. read more

$8.00 for a WATER ONLY wash. Ummmm. I don't think so. Yes, here's my debit card. I'll gladly take my refund. Seriously. You list 6 items in your Deluxe Wash, but soap doesn't come with it. Are you insulting my intelligence? Undercarriage wash, Double pre-soak, high pressure wash, pure water spotless rinse, clear sealant. read more

I paid $3.37 with my Ralph's club rewards today. Wide pumping areas give you space between the other cars. A drive thru car wash which I have used multiple times and gives a decent car was when in a pinch for time. read more

This carwash sucks I went today and took my dad's passat for a wash and lost out on money had to go get a different wash bcuz of waterspots.....im dissapointed read more

We love coming here to get out car washed. Buying gas I have no comment it's just buying gas.. However the car wash is great . My 23 year old son who has autism and I enjoy listening to our music and watching the colored foam. The wash has the newest auto wash machine ( sorry I really have no idea it's actual name) u feel like your on a ride . It's moves and you car stays put. I forgot to mention it cleans your car really well! Then enjoy the dry cycle and use every second read more

It's official, this car wash made the windows of my car dirtier than they were before i used this car wash. It tested it out 3 times to be 100% sure. And now I'm 100% sure. Shell should kick out the operator of this shell station as it's tarnishing shell's name. read more

I am solely giving this place 5 stars because they actually put SOAP in the windshield washing bin!! I hate, and I mean HATE going to gas stations to clean my windows and just move dirty water across my windshield. Major props to whoever runs this place...keep doing what your doing. In terms of prices, not too shabby for a gas station right off the freeway. I always fill up here on my way back home. read more

About six months ago I tried to redeem a Ralph's reward at this gas station. After going through all the steps and receiving approval, I was unsuccessful in getting the gas nozzle to work...just a series of clicks. I went inside for help and after a difficult communication with the elderly man behind the register, who spoke broken English, I finally understood he wanted to run my rewards card. After which he said I didn't have any rewards. I left and went to another Shell gas station and redeemed my reward without any problem. Yesterday I had an exact repeat of this experience, only this time when I went inside for help the same man raised his voice at me and said I was doing something wrong. I have been coming to this location for gas for four years. I will never go back. As a consumer, I have other choices! read more

It did the job. The prices are like "5.99" or "6.99" and it doesn't take card. So if you have whole bills and you want to get your penny in change, you have to go inside. The carwash itself was decent. Although it didn't clean all the poop off of my friend's car, it did the job and got the majority of it. I would come back especially since there are not many drive through car washes in Camarillo. read more

This ass everytime I'm here is a bitch to me.Takes at least 10 min to turn your pump on. Doesn't use please/thank you. & locks the door so she can nap. I stood there for 5 minutes trying to get her attention. read more

Horrible car wash. Just like the rest of the reviews state, there is no soap, it's just water. Have to leave just to go home and re-clean the exterior of the vehicle to get what the car wash failed to do. Plus their advertisement of a $2 car wash discount if purchased on a Wednesday is a scam. When I confronted the staff they said the discount is taken off of the gas price which is 15 cents off a gallon. I told him that is everyday if I purchase a car wash, he said that is what there Wednesday discount is as well. What a joke! read more

The woman working today does not care about loyal customers nor trying to keep them... You have to prepay for carwashes, I come here for a car wash at least once per week and recently we have had a ton of rain so The one I previously purchased expired... She would not honor my expired car wash so I lost $8... now they lost me as a customer! What a scam! read more

I've been a customer of this gas station for several years but after today this may have been my last visit. One of the reasons I did frequnt this gas station was because of their self serve car wash. The car wash had been ok for the price but over the last year or so the car wash price has been increasing and the quality of the wash has gone downhill. Specifically their $7.00 express car wash is now nothing more than a high pressure rinse. That's right if you want soap to be applied to your car you have to pay for the $10 deluxe wash. At first I thought the car wash was malfunctioning when no soap was applied to my car but after exiting the car wash I stopped back into the store to let the clerk know the car wash was not applying soap and this is where I was told that a $7.00 express wash does not use soap. Of course this no soap policy is not printed/posted ANYWHERE and in the past the express wash did include soap so I can only guess this is a sneaky way for the station owner to save a nickel by deleting the soap in an express wash. Well that nickel the owner just saved has cost him many dollars as I most likely will not return. So if paying $7.00 to have your car hosed down with reclaimed water and if you don't mind water spots & streaking then this may be the place for you. I should add that this station used to discount your gas purchase by .10 cents a gallon if you purchased a car wash but that too has been taken away. read more

For the car wash, which I have used twice. First time, purchased with a tank of gas. The code did not print on my receipt. Did not notice until I was already in front of the car wash. Car was acceptably washed, although not entirely dried. Came today for just a wash. Drove up to the machine, which doesn't take cards. Of course. Tried to back out so as not to block the driveway to the car wash, but it's one giant curve with curbs everywhere. Had to walk to the store, which was unattended, although there was an older man in a shell shirt and hat sitting on the grass. Not sure if he's a big fan or an employee. After about five minutes a kid comes in and rings me up. Car washed and is cleaner, but not clean or dry. There's still bird poop on the cAr. The shell in moorpark is much better. read more

HORRIBLE!! I paid $8.00 for a car wash that didn't even include SOAP!! The description stated I'd get soap, some wax-type service, undercarriage cleaning, blow dry, etc. Uh, I know it's a gas station car wash, but my car looks horrible...I'm so glad I paid $8.00 to squirt water over my car and then had it partially dried. read more

I really do not like to write these types of reviews, but this car wash is pretty bad. Not only is there a long wait, but there isn't much soap involved in the actual wash. Then, after the wash, the blower/dryer isn't height powered enough to dry my car (which is a small car, so I highly advise you not to take an SUV). When I complained to the person working that night, he acted as if it was acceptable for me to leave a car wash with my car drenched. He then proceeds to wipe my car with harsh hand-drying paper from the restroom. I told him to please do not do that; I'd rather handle it myself. Given the price I didn't expect a premier experience, but this was below acceptable and a very disappointing experience. Please don't waste your money. read more

The thing that really irritates me about this place are the employees! I've greeted three employees at this location and they're extremely rude. One girl didn't even say hello back and no eye contact. The has prices here is what keeps me coming back and you can use your ralphs rewards card. The car wash is a joke. read more

For the premium car was I literally paid to wash my own car, I had to borrow a rag afterwards and dry it since the drier only went off for about 4 seconds. I figured it was fine since at least I could get discounted gas but nope, I could only get that if I had prepurchased the gas and car wash together before I got the car washed (which was not advertised). The cashier was decently nice I suppose. But if you're trying to get your car washed here, you're better off washing it yourself. read more

Maybe not the best prices, but the clerks make it worth stopping by. They are genuinely good people who ask how your day is going because they actually want to know. I've been late to work a few times because I have struck up conversations when I went inside to pay. Shell makes good gas, and they have a good deal on energy drinks too. I would still go here if I hadn't moved away. read more

$7.99 for an express car wash ONLY they should call it a car RINSE since they charged 8 bucks for water! No soap, just water. What a sham/scam! I will never buy gas there again! My car looks worse now! Water spots all over it! Buyer Beware! read more

Shell must have changed their staff. Every time I go in Sandra is there. She will greet you with a friendly smile and is very helpful. She cares about the customers. It's nice to see the change! Thank you for hiring her also please give her a raise!!! read more

This place is absolutely horrible. My car came out of the car wash looking worse then going in. It has a ridiculous amount of water spots and I wasted nine dollars just to make my car look worse. Gas is also overpriced. Go to the 76 or shell on las posas for at least five cents cheaper. Will never come back here. read more

Worst car wash ever! Don't go here. Nothing touches your car so it doesn't get clean. They don't even use soap! They told me it was a colorless soap but it was just water. My car is still dirty and covered in water spots because the dryer doesn't work either! It looks worse than before I tried to "wash" it. Save your money or go to the $5 car wash in Oxnard they do a great job and give you a free vacuum. read more

A gas station cashier who's actually pleasant. Whaaa? Could partly be that I'm accustomed to LA crustiness, and I'm still adjusting to what seems to be a kind of hey-how-ha-doin' coolness in Ventura County, but still. She was rad. Thanks. read more

Would rather have given zero stars! Worst service ever - all because of one employee that seems to always be working the early morning shift. Never had a problem with any other employee but this one woman is so wrapped up in her phone she can't be bothered to pay attention to a customer standing there with money in their hand. When she does pay attention she is surly and rude and acts as if you are interrupting her. Put the phone down and do your job. This morning I am not sure if she didn't realize I was standing right in front of her or if she was ignoring me in favor of her email. Either way, I'll be taking my business elsewhere from here on out. I walked out without buying the few items I wanted. Wish I had not already paid for my gas at the pump or I would have gone somewhere else for that too. read more

Charges higher prices than what's advertised. The male attendant said "who cares" when I asked about it.
