They are far less busy than the Esso station slightly north of this station. Essentially the three stations (Petro-Canada , Esso, and Shell) on Ontario Street have the cheapest gas in St. Catharines and the surrounding area. One nice plus for this place is that their window washing liquid has soap in it (most gas stations just use water which is dirty most of the time).

The gas stations along this stretch of Ontario st were known as ground zero during the "gas wars",…read morewhere they had the lowest gas not only in the city, but the entire province. The price gap today isn't as drastic, but in general this station still keeps prices at the lowest in the city, even if it's a fraction of a cent. During gas price hikes the gap increases, and you'll know because you will literally be waiting in line to fill up. You may want to weigh the time wasted vs the amount you save, as well as the aggravation of navigating the crowds. But if you're in the area and need gas, you can be pretty certain you won't save anything by driving around so if it's not crowded it's a solid choice.

This is the newest gas station in St. Catharines, opening 2022-12-01. It is at the north-west end…read moreof St. Catharines, near the QEW. It is located on a brand new big property. All facilities are new because there was nothing there before. There are 10 gas pumps in the middle of the lot, nicely spaced apart. There is an attached convenience store called "On The Run". There is a car wash which is almost finished construction. There will be a Tim Hortons, separate from the convenience store, in the near future. I was there on 2023-01-03. On that day, the typical gas price was 149.9 c/L. This gas station had a price of 144.9 c/L. However, St. Catharines' cheapest prices for Esso were normally on Ontario St, and on the same day, the price was 139.9 c/L. There were some troubles with the card reader at the pumps, even though the temperature was about 5C. Trivia: The owner also owns an Esso at 278 Lake St (which I've been to before) and 7 stations in Toronto. There is no free WiFi. The facility is wheelchair accessible. There is free parking.

Well on Saturday Dec 19th the last price I saw before leaving GTA was something like 102.9. On the way back from a quick stop in Niagara Falls I popped in to this Ontario street Shell to get gas because I wanted to see for myself exactly how much it was. I was not disappointed. From 102.9 to 88.9 that's a difference of 14 cents. I know there's more affordable gas in Vaughan than other locations in GTA when compared to say Etobicoke or Burlington but 14 cents less than the rest of the GTA? That's truly way below and considering it's even less than Niagara Falls which is a border town (mind you the USD exchange is horrible now), still that's a pretty great savings. If you happen to be passing through St. Catharines buy gas anywhere around Ontario street or where ever it's cheap! I choose Shell because of Air Miles and I'm just used to going to Shell. The pumps here DO NOT have pay at the pump which is really strange I thought but you do not have to pre-pay on the pump I was at least. I can't remember the last time I couldn't pay at the pump and I didn't have to pre-pay. Different yes but savings, also yes.

They had tough rules and were extremely busy. Instead, I usually went to the Petro-Canada slightly south of them. But in 2019, they are no lineups any longer (guess people are used to the cheap prices). So now I'll go there whenever I want to collect PC Optimum points. In 2020, a few other gas stations around the St. Catharines area now have the same low prices, most of the times. There are still no lineups here any longer. I noticed a lack of paper towels. During pandemic times, some gas stations ask you to use their paper towel when using their pumps - great idea - but I could use that idea at this gas station. They have a car wash and tire air pump.

I used to swear by them and have been a long standing customer for 10 years both my husband and I take our vehicles here. Well not anymore! They treat their customers like garbage, no respect at all not even an apology!!!!!! So yesterday I brought my 7 series BMW thru like I always do.... I specifically told them not to open the back door or do the back seat or windows as they were already done, front seats only. Well as I'm standing at the end waiting I watched this idiot kid yank on my door handle hard and then pull out toward him my sliding window screen which comes from inside the door.... I heard something snap.... I said dont do that please, there are buttons to roll them down. Once they finished I noticed my screen was sagging, I went to open my door and my door handle came right off in my hand.... but they also broke my window screen and pulled it out of the frame at the top. So I nicely let them know, then I was asked to wait while they check the cameras.... I know the one brother who owns it he is super nice, but he wasnt there... the other one was... Well he came out and was immediately very rude and hostile, I even said to him why are you acting this way, I'm not upset or being rude to you. He denys his behaviour. Then he says you expect me to fix this?.... I said yes or comp me my car wash today which was 53 dollars! Then he says well your car is old anyway..... lol excuse me? Its still in mint condition with under 200000 on her, doesnt matter if its 10 years old or not I watched him break my window screen, he then plays around with it and says it's just a screw, I look at it and said not it's broken from the frame.... he also had this sassy rude little girl with him. I was being very nice and polite until their hostile behaviour continued.... he says well I watched the tape and why did you go right to the door after? Insinutating I'm lying and it was already broken..... I said to him are you blind.... you can see him pull on it and see me watching him and asking him not to do that..... clearly if someone sees their car get damaged they are going to go look at it right away..... what kind of question is that... then he says well I'm not responsible for this it says on my sign.....SO THAT MEANS ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THEM THEY WILL NOT REPAIR, THEY COULD DAMGE THE WHOLE CAR WITH THOSE BRUSHES AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU ! Then I said to him I've been coming here for 10 years and my husband and this is how you treat your long standing customers? He said I've never seen you here before.... lmfao calling me a liar again.... I said well you've just lost a customer buddy. I said I also know your brother..... he said ya whats his name then? I said I dont need to give you his name to know him... again insinuating I'm lying
