Just came here for v nitro bc it has shown to clean parts of your car. I like when places have hand sanitizer but their windshield cleaner solution was dirty. I still prefer my Chevron but would come back to get v-nitro to clean my gas. read more

Shell is a gas station I go to sometimes but they do have good quality gas. That is good for your motors performance and longevity. Prices are reasonable, considering the quality of gas you're getting. As you know, gas station is self serve. read more

Their car wash card reader doesn't work. Very inconvenient and unnecessary. Fix the payment issue on your machines.

Service is good. Car wash is great and so are the prices. Prices are best in the area. read more

Loved the gas station but will no longer be a customer. Milton provided great customer service and it's a shame he won't be employed there. He was a hard worker and was always helpful but I am not happy with him no longer being employed there. read more

I went here a few times in my van and the evening worker was very nice, friendly and talked to me about my van. I got the keys for the bathroom and wow! It was actually clean!!! Looked like new wall board was installed recently and the place looked and smells clean. Very impressed when a gas station can keep their outdoor restroom clean like that! I'll definitely use this station again. Seeing that I travel in my van, I can tell you this is one of the nicer 24 hour gas stations. read more

This tiny but efficient station is great. It's busy but for a reason - the gas prices are are a bit lower than some of the neighboring stations. Because it's a corner lot, adjacent to BevMo, it's basically a gas and go kind of place. There is however a little market as well. You can get a wide variety of beverages and standard gas station items. The employees are nice enough. Tip: They offer a discount for paying in cash. read more

Shell - Gas Stations Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Older but decent gas station. I live about a mile from here and this is one of my go-tos when I'm in need of a quick exterior car wash. My apartment building does not feature off-street parking/a place to wash my own vehicle, so I occasionally like to treat myself to one of these drive-thru car baths. This station is located on a busy corner of uptown Santa Barbara, across from a large park and within close proximity of the freeway. It's in a sketchier section of town lined with panhandlers, though the affluent residential neighborhood directly behind is a complete 180 from the main road. I have been asked for spare change when filling up here. I suppose it just comes with the territory. There is also a large self-serve vacuum area and a drive-thru car wash. The car wash can form a bit of a line during peak hours but I've never seen it as an issue. Like most other drive-thru washes, there are three options to select from. The selections range from $11 to $15, but none of them offer an air dryer. The customer drives out with a soaking wet vehicle. I usually pull up to a pump and use their squeegee to rid my windshield of water beads. A minor inconvenience but not a big deal. Though there are better options locally, I will continue to give this station my business. read more

Shell - Gas Stations Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Worst service ever. Clerk was crying because her cat died, then she asked to see ID's of everyone in the car (4 people) in order to sell 1 person cigarettes. Was rude and dishonest about the stores policy, said that she has option to refuse service to anyone. We decided not to get everyone out of the car with ID's because it's ridiculous and just left. Clerk looks and sounds disturbed, will never visit here again. read more

Shell - Front door or the worst gas station ever - Gas Stations Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

They are crooks! I used my credit card at the pump for $50 gas, they took an extra $250 off the card and would not give it back! I called and spoke with the lady who works there and asked for the manager and no one called me back! I am out $250 and $50 for gas and $9 for a car wash. They were unhelpful and rude ! AVOID at all costs!!! read more

Quick in and out for gas. Convenient if traveling north on State Street. Takes credit cards. Payment machine is easy to use and read. Prices were average. I'd stop here again. read more

Shell - Storefront - Gas Stations Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This is a great shell and the employees are pretty chill and I've always had a good experience going.

My vehicle was damaged by the Shell Station Car Wash at 3060 State Street on 11-3-22. The Manager, Jairo Siles, claims he cannot/will not help to resolve this issue and the only alternative is filing an insurance claim, which I will do along with legal action. Very disappointing to someone who has been their customer for many years. read more

Been going to this car wash for months. Yesterday, my car was scratched by the machine. The rubber wipers aren't cleaned and left scratched from what looks like sand was wiped across my car. Costly mistake for what used to be a quick and efficient car wash. read more

This review is only for the drive thru car wash. I read the review saying this particular one didn't have a dryer, but I chose this one anyway because it was closest to my destination. I usually prefer the brushless car washes, but my car was really, really, really dirty. I live in an apt. complex where car washing is not permitted on the property. I'm too poor to get a hand car wash every time my car gets dirty, which it does often since I park on the street when I go to my internship. So, I for the drive thru ones. I think it did a decent job. I had microfiber towels in my car so after the wash was done, I parked my car in one of the vacuum stalls and wiped it down. The pay station accepts credit cards! read more

I am loving this station near the rental I never stay anymore because I live with boyfriend on the border of Montecito and SB. But it's by Trimm (my hair salon since 2008) and the car wash is GREAT! It doesn't have an air dryer as Fernando noted, but the spot free rinse leaves your car truly spotless. The gas prices are in the middle but now that I've quit smoking, apart from a cigarette here or there when my EVOD or tank or coil not working, I'm not smoking. So the interior stays clean and the exterior is all I need. 9 is high for a carwash at a gas station (it's only 6 in Ventura Shell where I filled up today between LA and SB) but whatever. It's convenient and I am going to be coming here a lot more often. (I know some think carwash machines are tough on the paint, but they advertise some gentle shampoo and my car looked quite shiny afterward. I'm actually painting my 2007 Saab (6 panels which, unbeknownst to me at time of purchase in 2010 from Graham Chevrolet, had been painted prior to the auction). But I plan to go in between washes/waxes so I can keep my car nice. I've had a pigsty of a car always and while I have clothes and books on the backseat, my front seats have remained pristine for two weeks.) read more

I didn't think I'd ever yelp a car wash, but just wanted to warn everyone. It does NOT have an air dryer at the end. I don't think I've ever gone to an automated car wash that didn't have a dryer. Dumb design. I ended up with dry water marks on my car, but at least the dust and grime was gone. read more

What a joke. $11 for a car wash with no dryer. Unbelievable. By the time you get to the freeway to drive fast and blow it off... It's already dried with spots read more

Was always clean b4 the coronavirus pandemic...cleaner now. Good service. Hard working. Happy 2 help. My go to gas fill up. Rewards for regulars. Fully stocked with the yummies. Friendly good people. Not much to complain about. read more

They have a bathroom but they won't let us use it. Payed 80 bucks for gas and this is BS

Terrible car wash. Car is left soaking wet afterwards. Pricey too. Save your money and go to educated car wash instead.

It's a gas station. They don't have crazy good prices, they are pretty much like everyone else. So what would set them apart from others? They have a car wash. Cool. So i get this car wash. The Premium Delux (yada yada) only cost about $9. So okay, i'll do it. I go thru and it seems like it's okay. But when i get to the end where you would get your car dried, i realized that there were no driers for this car wash i just received. Now i have to drive out and use the squgiey to dry my windows and then drive around fast to dry the rest of my car. Stupid idea. read more

I used to actually love this shell until about an hour and a half ago. After I got my tank filled up I go to the "24 hour shell convenience store" only to find it's locked. Some kid, I didn't even know he worked there, thought he was homeless at first to be honest :/, was sweeping outside. After I asked why it's closed I finally found out he worked at this gas station. His response was, "it's not open for another 25 minutes because I don't feel like going in and out..." I asked him politely, "isn't this open twenty four hours?" He literally replied with the same exact sentence. Then I just didn't even bother for further conversation, there was no point so I left. He clearly was not doing his job and thanks to him shell lost another customer. Oh he was pretty darn chubby and I know where he got that from... by taking the term "LAZINESS" to a whole new level of being lazy. So that was the last experience I will ever have at a shell gas station because employees at arco, chevron, fuel depot, etc. Actually do there job. read more
