    They sell powerball and mega millions tickets

    This is or local Shell Gas station and we fill 90% of our gas here. In the past, there were some issues with the pumps not auto-filling and you had to hold down the lever. For 20 gallons, this would start to hurt your hands. Thankfully they have fixed this issue. I get my car washed here also and have never had an issue. If you sign up for a car wash, you get 20 cents off per gallon. This is also a great place to buy lottery tickets or a soda for the road. My family is pretty happy with this Shell.

    DON'T DO IT! DO NOT GO THROUGH THE CAR WASH. I legit thought I had the worst luck, because the washer stopped moving after my car was getting soaped. I sat there and waited, because what if I get out and the machine starts working again? Hell no. But of course, behind me, is this guy with a raised truck so I'm scared he's going to be upset I'm taking forever but I'm thinking that he sees my car covered in soap so he knows it's not me. Went through it twice, because the manager gave me another voucher and kept telling me I was moving my car but my car was in park AND the emergency brake was pulled. It happened again. I just wanted all the bird poop off my car. Was it too much to ask? It broke on me again and I drove home in shame with my car covered in soap. this photo is me waiting 6 minutes for the soap to fall off before doing the drive of shame.

    This shell is conveniently located off of the Hillsdale offramp of the 101. The pumps are rather decrepit as it did take a few tries before the pump would "lock" and continuously fill my tank. To my surprise, when the pump "clicked," my tank wasn't even really full. It still had a good 2-3 gallons left at the top! Receipts were not available at the pump either...receipts were only available inside with the clerk. Luckily squeegees were in good working order and paper towels were available. Remember to use the Fuel Rewards Card for a 3 cent discount per gallon!

    I HATE this Shell station. Sure, it might have decent prices for a Shell but what good is that when every time you pull in, HALF THE PUMPS DON'T WORK and cars are all over the place in a chaotic mess, waiting for fuel?! You pull up to a pump that a car has just left, get your card, get out... and the pump is broke. Sometimes it'll have a sign, sometimes it just won't work. Then you have to somehow maneuver out of the mess, and get in the back of another line, even though you've probably already been there 5 hours waiting. No thanks. As if that isn't bad enough, a few weeks ago, I stopped by just after midnight to get a car wash and their 7$ automatic wash left SOAP ALL OVER MY CAR!!! (I don't normally wash my car in the a.m. but a bird had decorated it earlier in the evening.) I was so mad. There was nothing I could do though cause there was nobody who answered when I banged on the door and there was no water hose around for miles that I knew of. Now, I'm going to have to get a high detail job on my car to get the dried scum off. I've already tried one of the quick hand services but it didn't work. :( *I posted pics of the gross soap on my car* I will not stop there again unless it's an emergency. Won't see ya there!

    Car Wash : bad experience. After the wash it has till the mid mark. When I reported to casher, he argued this is clean and mentioned I have should have bought the highest package. The casher and his assistant was rude. This is not a customer friendly station. All I have asked was to clean the car another time. The station is not sensible to customers. Incident happened at 1pm 03/21/2018

    Since gas prices are so low now it doesnt hurt when you need gas near the freeway where they usually gouge you. It's a pain to get in and out here as this intersection is always busy and backed up during normal hours. But again, low prices and convenience make for something sometimes

    Not the San Mateo sHell...

    Decent Prices! Currently (5/18/07) Premium is at $3.68 a gallon. I drive past this station at least once a day. It seems to have the lowest prices of any of the four other Shell branded gasoline stations that are less than 5 miles from Foster City. I was shocked to see the Shell station at 1990 El Camino (see: ) selling their premium gas at over $4.00 a gallon! Yikes ! ! ! Driving this summer is going to be ridiculously expensive! It's a 3 star station but it gets one more for a number of reasons: + Lowest prices of ANY Shell in San Mateo (of which there are 5 !) ... + Decent car wash ($1.00 off the car wash for any fill up) + Better convenience store selections than Chevron in FC (see: http://www.yelp.com/biz/UNdZ1fDLSP8knT8U4_5KFg ) + It's my "home" station An example of a 5 STAR Station is Freshpond (en route to South Lake Tahoe) just outside of Placerville.

    Random gas station off of highway 101. I believe they have a car wash. Get gas, quick car wash, and back on the road.

I purchase the $200 package knowing that it was going to take some detail work to clean everything and get all the bugs splatter off. Not the best with attention to detail. I understand that they're busy but I figured the $200 package would buy the right for them to take the time. Customer service said it will be 30-40 mins. It was done in 20. I get home and noticed there was a good amount missed on the front bumper and left and right lights. Also on the inside the dressing used seemed like was done in a rush. The back seats weren't wiped down. There was still spots of crumbs and marks from my kids that could be easily wiped off. There was spot where they treated and spots you can tell that was missing. The back trunk rubber trunk mat wasn't taken out and cleaned. $200 was a mistake to spend here.

To the management or owner who addresses these reviews: I note that similar complaints are prevalent, and I am skeptical that any action will be taken to rectify these issues.

    I don't write reviews often, but this one is absolutely deserved…read more I just got my SUV detailed here, and I am honestly blown away by the results. The team went above and beyond what I was expecting. They conditioned all of the leather, steamed and cleaned every single floor mat, and somehow managed to make every inch of the interior look brand new again. The attention to detail was incredible. They cleaned areas I didn't even think about, and when I got in my car afterward, it felt like I was sitting in a completely different vehicle. Everything looked spotless, smelled fresh, and had that "new car" feeling all over again. What impressed me most was how much care they clearly put into their work. This wasn't just a quick wash and vacuum--they treated my car like it was their own. You can tell they genuinely take pride in what they do. I'm beyond happy with the results and couldn't stop smiling on the drive home. If you're looking for a shop that truly cares about quality and delivers amazing results, look no further. I've been going to San Mateo Car Wash for YEARS and had to post a review!!! They're just THAT good!!! Thank you guys for taking such great care of my car! :)

When I explained that I don't live near here and that the car wash was supposed to be open until 6 PM, the cashier was incredibly dismissive and then told me that I could wait 30 minutes for the manager to arrive. She then held my receipt and started helping other customers. Eventually, I took a picture of my receipt and left. I understand if, as an employee, you can't resolve the matter. But you should treat your customers with a basic level of respect and try to be helpful as opposed to being dismissive and hoping that the problem just goes away. Very frustrating.

Then another employee came over, spoke quickly, and my son--who did not understand what was being offered--said yes and took the receipt without realizing he had been switched to a much more expensive package. At the check stand it came to over $100. He did not receive a professional detail. We regularly pay that kind of money for an actual detail and this was not that. It was a basic car wash with an upsell tacked on after he had already agreed to the advertised wash. I understand businesses try to upsell. What I don't accept is doing it after the customer has already stated what they want, especially when the customer is not following the pitch. Once he agreed to the basic wash, that should have been the transaction. Auto Pride is a car wash, not a detailing shop. Charging detailing prices for a wash and relying on confusion to get there is taking advantage of people.
