Shell

Worst gas station in Houston.
Gas is regularly over a dollar more, if not 1.50 more than any other gas station in town.
Completely ridiculous.

There’s a reason why their price sign is regularly blank. $ 2.99 a gallon this morning when Houston is hovering around $ 2.00. Got enough to get myself to the next station for a fill up.

Do not get your car serviced here!!! I went to get a state inspection, I left it and came back. They told me my brakes were bad. I asked for a quote and they wanted to charge me $ 900 to change my four brakes. I said I would search around and come back. I went to my friend who sells car breaks for a living we took out the brakes in all four wheels, and they had more than half of their life left in them!
Don’t ever get your car serviced here!

This review concerns only the pricing of gasoline at this station. The gasoline at this Shell station is consistently priced 30−50% more than other area gas stations. I once mentioned this to an employee that appeared to also be a manager or maybe owner. His response, «You don’t have to buy gas here.» He’s right. I don’t. And I haven’t since that day.

Didn’t pay attention to my gas gauge this morning on my way to work (Shepard & Allen). And I decided I need to fill up before heading back home. This was the closest gas station to me. The average gas price in Houston is around $ 1.90 right now and this place is still charging $ 2.50. I’m not frugal, but it’s crazy to charge 140% of the city average.

I don’t appreciate the duplicitous nature of this establishment. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for just over a year now, and I have never seen the price sign displaying the prices. It certainly works — the lights are on, but they never display a price. That’s because they charge about $.50 more than any other gas station in the area.
You would typically expect this sort of behavior from a gas station near an airport, but not in the middle of Houston. Shame on you.

WATCH OUT!
I’m not a price shopper when it comes to gas, and really don’t care if one station is a few cents higher or lower than another, preferring to base my decision more on brand quality and appearance. That said, I expect the price to be reasonable for the market, and have a general distaste for being purposely ripped off! My first stop at Cho’s Shell about a month ago resulted in a huge shock as I looked at the pump price after I had about 5 gallons already in my car. I was a bit shocked as it was around $ 0.50 higher per gallon than I had been paying, and immediately started thinking back if I remembered hearing anything on the news about skyrocketing gasoline prices. I looked around and then noticed all of the price sign boards at the station were blanked out, and the only place the price per gallon was posted was on the pump itself! Highly suspicious by then, I stopped pumping and drove down the street to another top brand station a couple blocks away and discovered the Exxon Premium was $ 0.53 less per gallon that Cho’s Shell Premium! This was consistently the case at other stations in the area over the next couple weeks. Yesterday, nearly a month later, I went by Cho’s Shell again just out of curiosity and found the exact same situation — all the signs were blanked out, and this time the price for Premium was $ 0.47 — $ 0.54 per gallon higher than 3 other stations in the area. I became convinced that this was intentional, and by leaving the signs blank the operator was intentionally attempting to lure others into making the same mistake I had the first time around and grossly overcharge! Look closely before buying at this rip off joint!

Went in got gas nothing really to it didn’t have to go to the counter paying with card nothing alarming only if looks kinda shady at night. Other then that it’s ok.

The service here is just plain awful. The attendants have a chip on their shoulder like we are doing them a favor. Gas is really expensive (about $.20-$.30 higher). Don’t waste your time or money here. There are better and cheaper stations close by.
