Thieves! DO NOT take your car here! They replaced my alternator and it went bust after 10 months…read more When I brought my car back (still under warranty) Joe tried to convince me it was just a bad battery and was telling me the alternator was good. We changed the battery and got stalled again!! AAA said it was the alternator and I took it to another mechanic that confirmed the alternator was bad!! So either this place is a scam or they know nothing about fixing cars. I don't know what is worse. I ended changing it somewhere else and paid much less for the best alternator in the market. I didn't take it back because I don't trust them touching my car.

It's a gas station with a repair facility and 24 hour gasoline…read more Prices are about 10-20 cents a gallon more than I pay for Chevron at my local Los Angeles Chevron but this is a safer nicer area to pump gas. It feels good and relaxing to pump here. Today the cheapest regular was $5.00 a gallon. Was speaking to a woman who used to come here and now pumps her new BMW at Costco. She says it's about 40 to 50 cents less at Costco and her dad told her Costco is okay for gas. Maybe I will switch to Costco? That sounds like big savings. Is Costco safe gasoline?

So I pull over to the "Air/Water Station and plop in 6 quarters to get the pressure right.... Seriously????

I have to apply with management... Bahahaha! No thanks

Ordinarily I am not really into reviewing gas stations, but I was seriously impressed by this one…read more It's really new. The keypad on the system was the new kind with actual buttons n the key pad and not the touch pad style like every other gas station everywhere. It's right off the 5 freeway at the Avery exit, so very convenient as well, and cheaper than the other gas station a block away. I don't know why that impressed me so much -- hahahahahaha --- I'm just crazy I guess.

When I asked the employee behind the counter if they had a restroom, instead of saying "yes, it's right over here"...he said already annoyed "follow the sign". I had never been to this location before and was a little stunned by the rude response, so just looked at him and said "what sign?" He didn't show me the sign but instead started raising his voice telling to follow the sign or get out. I asked if he was OK and he proceeded to raise his voice and tell me to get out or follow the sign. I tried to calmly explain that I've never been here before and that I was coming from the hospital next-door, but he just cut me off. Told me "everyone has a story "and again told me to follow the sign or get out. Not sure what was going on with him, but regardless, this is unacceptable behavior when dealing with customers.

Why? Who knows... but I love it. The sheer convenience of this Shell station is worth 5 stars. It's RIGHT off of the 5 freeway at Avery Parkway, and you rarely have to wait for a gas portal to open up. Is that what they call 'em? I don't know, but because there is a Mobil station right across the way, there's always plenty of space for cars of all shapes and sizes to fill up before hitting that long stretch of nothingness through Camp Pendleton. Additionally, the station itself is really clean, and I can actually trust the food and hot beverages at this location... unlike most other gas stations where you question the last time that slimy pot of coffee was brewed. If you're driving home through Orange County, or driving north for that matter, it's worth stopping by... especially if you're in a hurry. It's as easy as a $2 hooker with dentures and a sugar craving... whatever that means.

This used to be my go-to easy on, easy off gas station because it was so convenient. Not any more…read more Guys, just because Covid exists, doesn't mean my bladder stopped working. Would you like me to pee on the side of your building instead? I guess so- I have to go, I don't have time to drive somewhere else. I'm going here, it's up to you if you want to smell like piss or be a normal gas station and let me use your actual facilities. I'm guessing the cashier uses the bathroom just fine when he needs it. You are just too lazy to clean it, this has nothing to do with Covid. Guess I'll find a new go-to stop.

Lil tip: if you entered this massive parking lot via Crown Valley Pkwy and are heading back to town (OC), you can exit same way you entered (CVP) instead of meandering to the farther exit on Cabot Rd, then take the 5 (free) instead of the 73 (fee).

Why is gas always more expensive at the south County Costco stations...?…read more Knocking it one star for that because shouldn't Costcos within 15 miles from each other be priced the same? Nevertheless, if you come at an off peak time, it's actually pretty easy to get in and out of here. If you go at a busy time, you'll obviously have to wait. Prices are similar to the Sinclair that's now on Oso. 2026: 26/100

What??? I will not go to this location any more! I will try the next one on Heather Ridge. Even though it's further but the staffs over there are way more friendly and helpful!
