This is the Shell gas station on East Dunne, near Hwy 101 in Morgan Hill, CA. It has a large set…read moreof fuel islands, a carwash, and a small "foodmart." It has a great location near the freeway, and at the entrance to a shopping center.
My job finished up in Morgan Hill on a Tuesday night, so I stopped here to get gas and some snacks. First impression, the place looked run down. Also, the foodmart isn't really a foodmart, it's just a quickie convenience store (c-Store). It has coffee, drinks, beverage coolers, candy, lotto, and cigs. The merchandising displays are a little weird, the potato chips are on a back endcap facing the coolers. If you really need groceries, there's a Safeway across the parking lot.
The cashier was very friendly and helpful. I asked about the carwash code, and decided to tryout the $13 carwash. Geez, pretty fast carwash for $13. Yes, it's soapy, uses alot of mechanical brushes, and drying blowers. When I first exited the carwash I noticed alot of tiny black specks on my vehicle. Maybe from recycled wash water? Anyway, these specks were gone when I got home after the 60 mile drive on the freeway. How was the wash?
Carwash, Grade (2/5): Pretty quick wash and dry for $13. Misses alot of lower areas and wheels. Yeah, it's shiny and clean.
Foodmart, Grade (1/5): This isn't a foodmart, it's a gas station C-store. Probably super busy in the morning with all the coffee air pots they had on the counter. Overall, not very roomy around the racks and displays.
Service, Grade (3/5): Friendly and prompt service, with Covid-19 safeguards in place. I didn't ask to use the restroom.
Overall, a fair place to stop if you just need gas and snacks. Skip the carwash, unless your vehicle is really dirty. There's a Safeway and a CVS nearby if you need groceries or HABA (health and beauty items). People will stop here because they trust the Shell brand, or ( like me) carry the Shell fuel card.
