Alamo Shell

Really don’t like getting gas or a wash here. Always a bad experience. Staff are rude and unhelpful when machines don’t work. Have never been able to get a smooth wash here. SOMETHING goes wrong each time. Only reason I’m back is place across the street is having computer problems (which is the first time something weird has happened to me there).

I go here a lot and I just went in to get a drink and it smelled like a cab on a hot day they need to deal with the strong body Oder smell in that place I am still smelling it Gross!!!

Much better than the chevron across the street. Way more pumps. The car wash can get crowded at times

Minus one star for price of gas. But what do you expect when you’re in Alamo. The four stars are for the car wash. The efficacy is pretty unreal for a gas station car wash. It’s quick and easy, and they have a scrub brush before hand to get off tough spots and a bucket of towels to wipe off remaining water droplets afterwards. Pretty great!

What do you expect from a gas station? This ain’t it.
After a long drive on the freeway, I got gas (overpriced) and my wife used the restroom.
The door stuck, she couldn’t get out. Finally the attendant got her out, but didn’t put a sign on the door or anything, just waiting for the next victim?
Fill up elsewhere, save money and aggravation.

Lousy bathroom, but no key is needed.

I think this station has upgraded their car wash since Jaicy’s review because I have used the car wash 3 times within the last 2 months and have loved every single one. Totally worth 7 dollars and a short «disney ride» for little kids.

The car wash and the woman inside terrible. No soap came out of the nozzles. This had happened a couple of times before too, so I went inside to tell them and her response was looks clean to me, we just had it serviced. I left my number for the manager and no response. I no longer service my families cars or company vehicle there. We had been going once a week for the wash too.

I never thought I’d be this passionate about a Gas Station Car Wash, but do yourself a favor and leave your car dirty — don’t pay for this car wash!
In fact, I don’t even think I’d use it for free!
I was in Alamo and needed gas and thought a quick car wash would be nice. So I picked the Shell because the Chevron across the street doesn’t have a wash, I had never tried it before so it may be fabulous? WRONG.
I paid for the highest one ($ 10 I think?)
It was slow. It is super old. It didn’t wash anything off my car. The foam was only coming out one of the three sprayers, and when the «dryer» was going by it was still spilling foam all over my car.
They know that your car will still be soaked when it finishes, so they politely offer towels, great! WRONG again. The towels are small and very rough, I used it to wipe off the foam, dry off my windshield, and that was it. Too much effort for my car that was still dirty.
I won’t return to this car wash, and probably won’t ever get gas there again just out of principle! Head over to the Chevron in Danville if you are looking for a quick wash (and DRY) that’ll actually work!
