Have lived down the street from this station for over a decade now and felt compelled to write a review. Came here recently with a nail in my tire and have to highlight Chris who took great care of my car -- I left feeling relieved and taken care of. However, every time I've driven past this shell station, I must say I see Chris working so hard around the station and always helping others and thought he deserved a shout out! Thanks Chris! read more

The sweetest service around Laguna everyone always smiling willing to help you with whatever you're needs may be & always met. Shelves faced no expired products just love this store and service. If you're needing gas snacks or drinks come on by and get them here at North Laguna Shell read more

North Laguna Shell - Yummy - Auto Repair Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

See all

I'm so happy I found this mom and pop petrol station. Boone is a fantastic human being. Thank you for assisting me at the pump. In this crazy world we live in, I'm so grateful to meet genuinely kind, honest, and overall first class people/business owners. I will continue to support this station when I'm in the area. Appreciate the genuine kindness, assist, and the extra hope that there are good folks in this world. Wishing y'all continued success! I'll be back, Boone :) read more

No surprise that the service here has improved. It was a pleasant surprise to pull in here the other days with flat tire and see the familiar faces from Auto Repair of Laguna beach (on the corner of Thalia). Looks like the team is expanding and I wish them all the best, when you are a customer these guys look after you. I pulled in with a puncture, and Rafa was quick to spot it, stopped everything to repair my puncture, and had me back on the road in 10mins. On top of that all he wanted was a fist bump. We are lucky to have mechanics like this in town. So support local businesses. These guys are the best!! read more

Coming from LOs Angeles, went to crescent bay beach. And perfect gas station. So friendly. I needed air and they were too kind to help me. That doesn't happen in Los Angeles. I recommend this place !! Gas price is decent. Compare to LA!! Laguna beach is the best!!! read more

So I want to make it short and sweet for the average user browsing through. Very reliable, trustworthy, honest, and unbelievably fair in their pricing. I don't know how, but the shop, especially for being more or less on the ocean, has all competitors working 30 miles beat. Honest mechanics are impossible to find, but I've done the impossible. Thanks to all the guys down there for a perfect brake job, tire mounting and balancing and oil change yesterday gapping and changing my spark plugs. Owner is very involved and you can tell this is a classic honest old school approach to a repair shop with new technology and tools to accommodate. I rarely write reviews so hopefully it's a testimony to anyone looking for any type of service needed for your veh read more

As a North Laguna resident, I get gas here often. Today I came in looking to add some air to my tires. A gentleman who's name I wish I'd gotten told me to relax, he would do all four tires for me! Several months prior, I had the same type experience with another employee when purchasing some windshield wiper fluid. Rather than just hand me the concentrate container I purchased, he offered to mix with water and filled the reservoir for me. Really outstanding old school service! So glad your my local station! read more

We had an overheating problem and it was really urgent to have look at. We stopped by North Laguna Shell with a panic and Brad was very helpful to us although it is 8.30 pm! God bless him! Thanks for the help. read more

Max is amazing! Always so helpful and super honest! My go-to for any auto work (brakes, oil change, etc.). Highly recommend North Laguna Shell! read more

I've been using North Laguna Shell for over 30 years. Their service is outstanding and their prices are very fair. I take both our Porsche and Audi there for all our general maintenance and the work is excellent. read more

Only gas station in north Laguna. There is a new shell in town (two blocks south of main beach) with gas that's $.10-.15 cheaper per gallon.

Seriously, the nicest most honest, helpful man works here. Every time I come in he helps me out and for little to nothing for his time. Always a smile and a great experience here, it's my go-to for all my service needs. read more

This is a great local service station. I stopped by to put air in my tires. I fully expected to pay for it. They have free air and when I asked the clerk for a pressure gauge he gladly gave me one. After a few minutes, a worker named Brad came out and asked if I needed help. I said I was fine, but he offered to do it while I washed my windows. I took him up on his offer and he was done in no time. Brad was very friendly and made my experience easy and enjoyable. I will definitely be visiting this station again!! read more

North Laguna Shell is a great place to have your faith in customer service renewed. Feels like going back decades to how people used to treat each other, with kindness, competence and good will. Max, Boone, and the team are about good service and being good people, rather than a hand in your wallet and seeing how little they can do for you. Do yourself a favor and drop by and say hi. read more

Some sort of cover was hanging down from my moms car after a 14hour drive. We called the station and Max answered the phone. He was so friendly and eager to help. We took my moms car to him immediately and he fixed it instantly. Will be going back for any other car issues. Thanks Max read more

This is the best Auto shop and gas station in Orange County and Laguna Beach. I recommend it to everyone. Max is so informative and he really knows what he's doing. Just a couple weeks ago I had 2 cars that weren't working I called Max and he took care of them right away. Anytime I need anything I know I can call them and they will help. The gas station is also awesome!! When I need air or even windshield wiper fluid they are so willing to help me at anytime.. They are the best read more

The best gas station i have ever frequented. Hands down the best friendly fun selfless service! They take excellent care of me every time. I've lived in Laguna beach for 7 years. They are uncomparable read more

Rad Brad fixed my tire and gave great service, very knowledgeable. Thx. North Laguna Shell. read more

We moved our car servicing needs to this station after our trustworthy and hardworking "Juan" who has serviced our family's cars for many years moved here. Glad to see you are still in the neighborhood and we will now be using Shell North Laguna! Had one car worked on a few days ago and we still got the same attentive honest friendly service that we had before. read more

I just got gas here and Brad was so helpful. He checked the fluids in my car and even washed my windows. He was so friendly and knowledgeable, I feel like I was transported back in time when people wanted to help out and provide great customer service. I'm very impressed by this gas station! read more

Unfortunately Steve left North Laguna Shell and I have been back once since then and it was a disaster. They kept my car for 4 days for a minor repair because they screwed up purchasing the part. To add insult to injury, when I went to pick it up because they said it was ready, it wasn't, there was no mechanic on duty, and the pump jockey basically called my classic camaro of 20 years a pile of garbage. Later Dude! read more

I've been using North Laguna Shell since 1996 and there is a good reason why this gas station has a loyal following, Service. It's unusual to find a gas station where you can get full service, tire repair, mechanics etc. The gas prices are higher but the service is unbeatable. read more

Went to blow up a kiddie pool for my baby boy and the attendants in the shop gladly blew it up for me. They were so helpful - they blew it up then out it in my car for me. Service at its best. read more

Thank you Boon and Max and new mechanic man (repair) and Blackie and Tim and Kim and Miguel ( does detailing which I have not gotten but, he is very nice ) with my numerous automotive challenges. read more

I can't even count the times that the guys at north Laguna Shell have saved my butt. From brakes to transmission to general service they get the job done with no hassles, no BS, and a generally pleasant attitude. Usually when you check engine light comes on you get that bad feeling in the pit of your stomach because you know you have to deal with the vipers at the dealership or some professional rip-off artists at the majority of Auto Service places. The guys at North Laguna shell will cure this feeling as they are honest and actually know what they are doing. I can't remember all of their names ( although i have only had pleasant dealings with all) Thanks a lot to George and Max for the excellent service! read more

I had a nail in my tire - drove over unannounced, and it was fixed in 15-minutes for $20.00 and he also checked my air in all my tires. Another great business in Laguna Beach ! read more

The service was great! I was pleasently greeted by a gentleman who asked my what I needed done today and I had my breaks serviced. The mechanic was nice as can be and even pointed out that I didn't need to waste money on all the other repairs I had been quoted on at another shop. He pointed out that I kept good care of my vehicle and a simple brake job was all it needed. Nothing but honesty from these guys!! I was able to walk down to the beach and relax for a few hours while they serviced my car. What more could I have asked for?? The people are great, the service was top notch, and the atmosphere was 10/10. Overall an excellent experience. read more

It was nice to find a gas station in the area. However, the attendant had no customer service skills and less charisma than a crab.

After numerous bad experiences with the Jaguar dealership I took my car to North Laguna Shell and have never looked back. Brad is honest, knowledgeable and prompt with diagnosing and fixing my car. I highly recommend them! read more

Had a flat tire and Brad went out of his way to help me and really checked my tires. He didn't hesitate at all and helped prevent a dangerous situation for me and my car. Thank you! read more

Parked and spent morning at Crescent Bay beach. Noticed our tire was low, headed to nearest station. Brad approached as we entered off pch. He spent about 30 minutes checking for leak, and making sure pressure was correct in all tires. To top it off, he told us it was on the house! Made it home, and will be sure to stop by whenever we are back in the area! Great, small town vibe and service. read more

I had my van worked on and was very pleased with the quality of service! My ignition broke and it was street sweeping day! I rode my bike to shell and explained what had happened! one of the mechanics drove up took a screwdriver and carefully started my van ! I drove it to shell and it was fixed promptly! On another occasion I stopped to check my oil and the attendant helped me out ! He checked all my fluids and add as needed ! I wouldn't take my van any where else ! Thanks Brad , George and max! You guys rock!!!! read more
