Santa Rita Shell

If I could give negative zero stars, I would. Do not buy gas here unless you want to get ripped off. I purchased $ 20 dollars worth of gas and a bag of over-​priced nuts for $ 2.19 and was ripped off!!! After I paid, I went to pump my gas and it stopped at $ 19.35. I went inside and asked for the cashier to either give me the change back or release the pump to $ 20 dollars worth of gas that I had already paid for. He came outside and pretended to try to pump the rest of the gas, then he says something is wrong with the pump but the change will go back on my card. I explained to him that I wanted my change now and he could either release the pump or give me my change now. He told me that they never give change in cases like this so, I told him that I would take his picture and put him on the internet but as you can see, he turned his head but if you know him, he won’t be hard to recognize. This is not the first time this has happened to me and I have been paying for gas for over 35 years and I am noticing this more frequently now within the last 5 years especially at foreign owned gas stations. So if you are black especially, watch your receipt and how much gas you are getting and don’t let them get away with even 35 cents. If you rip off 100,000 at .35cents, that adds up to a significant amount of money (35,000). And over time, it could add up to even more. I work very hard and in legal so I know my consumer rights. No store would allow me to take a bag of chips out of the store and let me mail them the check later. I expect the same so watch out for this gas station, especially if you are black. I’m not sure if I was targeted because of my race or if they rip everybody off so all others should use caution as well.

I purchased a car wash that says «try for 2 weeks» thinking that it’s unlimited for two weeks. Come to find out, it’s a one time use. I find this to be fraudulent due to the case of how they word it on their machines and won’t give a refund or free wash now. On top of that, the wash was horrible, leaving as if it was just washed with a hose leaving dirt a grime on the vehicle. Over all, it is not worth your money.

OMG, do these guys actually do car wash? I rolled my car out of the carwash and what the F**k has been washed?
The first time I told the attendant and had to go in twice to have it cleaned, needless to say it was still not a good clean.
This time I wasnt paying attention and wasted $ 10.

Expensive gas — Atleast by 10 – 15 cents compared to other stations and the one across this one. Only worth it with 2 gas rewards from Safeway.

Best gas prices in the bay area.
Quaint old school gas station.
If the owners installed credit card ready pumps they’d increase sales.

Once in awhile I will stop here to fill up. I try not to because gas prices are high.
Conveniently located close to my relatives though.
Every time I have been here the place has been clean. Also, their wash buckets have been filled with soapy water. Always nice when a gas station has that plus squeegees to use.

Santa Rita Shell @ Pimlico Dr car wash is broken, don’t waste you tief n.

They don’t sell BEER!!!

Very clean and conveniently connected to the Trader Joe’s parking lot and close to the freeway entrances.
You can pump your tires here or use the water without tokens, just push the button.

If I could give one star I would! My son (college student) gave out of gas right in front of this shell and asked the greedy owner could he borrow or rent a gas can. You would think he would since the gas would be purchased from his station. Instead he charged my son $ 15 for the gas can! My son not knowing any different just paid the $ 15. What a jack ^&^^! Ripping people off in distress. If this is his character then I can only imagine getting a quote for getting your car repaired! Ripperoo!
Dr. Mr. Shell Owner:
I really hope the $ 15 that you spent on one meal is worth your reputation in the community of Pleasanton as being a greedy *(*&&^. I also hope that your greed doesn’t lead you to living out of a cardboard box under the bridge somewhere alone with nothing but regrets.
Sincerely,
Me.

Clean bathrooms! Good snack selection. Nice stop on a road trip.

Only went here because I needed gas in the middle of my drive going home. It was convenient. Went inside to get a drink, and I was surprised by the friendliness of the staff.

Staff is a bit slow buy overall very pleasant. My gripe is the difficulty getting in and out of here. People don’t look, pull out in front of you while you are driving past the station, and forget trying to get through the Trader Joe’s shopping SUV soccer mom drivers battling to get to the perfect compact space in front of the store. I avoid this station when possible because I dislike the setup and trying to get in and out.

I come here all the time. Yeah the service can be a tad slow but everyone has been awfully nice to me.

This place is absolutely rediculous! I stopped her on Sunday to get gas on my way to photograph a wedding in Livermore. I left my home early, as I always like to arrive early and not stress myself out. I had plenty of time to get some gas on my way. Well, I put in my CC, the machine asked for my zip and the keypad wouldn’t work. So, I went inside… starting to feel a bit stressed as I didn’t want to be late. I asked the lady to please process my card inside. She looked at me like i was speaking a foriegn language. I sat there for a few min. (feeling more stressed at this point) while she finally figured it out. I went back out to the pump and now the stupid button to choose the gas wouldn’t work. I am now SUPER stressed and asked her to switch the pump. She told me no, and that I had pushed the buttons too many times it was all my fault. I finally got very stern with her and told her I needed gas from another pump and I needed the gas now! She refunded my money and turned her back to me to help someone else. I was soooooooo pissed! I kept telling her that I needed gas and tried to give her my card back… she raised her voice to me to say that I had pushed the buttons too many times and again ignored me to take care of someone else. Now, I am really stressed for time as I have now been at this station for 15 min and still have NO GAS!!! Another guy finally helped me, I was able to put about 3 gallons of gas in and I WAS FIVE MINUTES LATE TO THE VENUE after I left in plenty of time to be there 15 min. early! I HATE THIS STATION and can’t stand that rude lady.

All I can say is that you get what you pay for.
3 options to choose from: 5, 6 & 7 dollars car wash. To me, don’t even bother to go with 6 or 7 dollars wash, because they are basically the same shit.
If you want to have a cheap, ok weekly wash for your car, then I guess you can come here. But it’s not a place if you want a throughout job.
Would I come back here? Probably NOT

Their glass cleaner/​squeegee thing ALWAYS seems like it’s just been refilled for your use. I love that! Car wash is nice… good prices, nice people behind the counter.
