Shell

LOL When you are NOT originally from the 818, make sure you lift the handle underneath the pump itself to start your filling of gas. My stupid ass ignored the signs and sat for 25 minutes wondering why the numbers aren’t moving on the pump. The gas station tenant showed me a sign on direction, as I walked away from the window feeling ignorant at my act of stupidity.
LIFT THE PUMP HANDLE UNLIKE ME.

****Scam****
This is the worst gas station in town.
Cheaper but they scam you.
Ralph’s rewards do not register when you input your number and pay with a credit card.
And no gas comes out if you pay for just $ 5 in gas. (Hey, I wasnt going far)
Besides the Asian guy with glasses having a horrible attutude… beware of the scam.

WARNING — SCAM !
DO NOT PAY CASH HERE!!! The attendant is running a scam where, if you pay him cash, then you go to the pump, it’s not turned on. You come back to the little crook sitting in his bullet-​proof box, and he says you never paid him.
The woman behind me in line saw me pay him and vouched for me. Yet he still swore I never paid!
He just BALD FACE LIES AND SCAMS. He must make a lot of money doing this all day – pocketing the cash he says you didn’t pay.
I called the police, but after 10 minutes the witness left, after 45 minutes I left because what would happen? It would be his word against mine.
GO A BLOCK UP TO THE CHEVRON STATION WHERE THEY ARE NOT THIEVING, LYING CRIMINALS!

Fill up was easy, convenient location. They sell both gas and diesel fuel, and diesel here is amongst the cheapest of stations in the area.
They do not charge extra to use a credit card.

I mean, it’s a gas station. Convenient location prices are average for the area.

cheapest gas I’ve seen in the area! much appreciated! never had a problem otherwise.

I went to this Shell ONCE to see if it was any different than the one just up the street on the corner of Van Nuys and Magnolia, and after taking one trip here, I will NEVER be back. I was so frustrated with my experience here that I left super annoyed and grumpy.
1) The location/​layout is awful. This gas station is smaller, and therefore doesn’t have as many gas pumps as most gas stations. Also, it’s badly situated so that it’s nearly impossible to navigate through. It’s really close to the Van Nuys/​Ventura intersection which allows for heavy traffic in and out of the gas station. Cars come in from different directions, and cars are parked at the pumps facing different directions and it seriously is a challenge just trying to get into the lot. Nobody knows which way is the right way so it’s just like a bunch of cars sticking out in all sorts of directions.
2) The pumps are super annoying. I could not figure out how to use mine for at least 5 minutes. It’s not like your usual gas pump where you just press the type of gas you want, and then it starts pumping out gas. I had to go to the cashier and ask him how to do it, but he had a thick accent and I couldn’t understand him correctly so once I got back to my pump, I sat there staring at it, trying to decipher what the heck the guy said so I could figure out to select the type of gas I wanted. Super annoying… -.-
3) Gas prices are high, as with every gas station in Los Angeles.
Needless to say I will be avoiding this Shell station. I’m not 100% thrilled with the Shell up the street on Van Nuys/​Magnolia, but that one isn’t nearly as crowded as this Shell and is also larger than this one which makes me feel much better.

I hate to have to review a gas station. but this one really lights me up
I’ve been coming here for over 2 years and everytime it’s the same story. Wait forever for a pump, get harassed by some lonesome homeless guy dispensing spiritual advice. Wait in line forever, behind smokers looking for a great deal on a carton of Marlboro lights. Finally I Go to get a receipt and the lady that works the counter is not only rude but clueless. I keep receipts for mileage and everytime I ask for one, I get the same run around. «I’m changing shift!!»
Then I feel like I’m bothering her… wtf?!
Sure, the gas is cheap, but sometimes cheap can be more expensive. Save your hard earned free time and head to the 76 just a few blocks North. Near the 101 FWY

Cheap prices. Have diesel.
Want to practice positioning your car for the next available pump? Play a game of Lincoln Logs while blindfolded.
Shame on you LAPD for using this lot as a ticket issuing central station. I really mean it. On any given day there are 15 cars vying for space to conduct gas filling business but you can’t find another spot to sprawl out and school people on driving etiquette. Find your own mosh pit. Please.

This gas station I go to for the occasional lottery ticket. It can be a pain to get in or out of this place as it’s on the corner of Van Nuys/​Moorpark plus there’s the alley so people can enter it at 3 ways. This place tends to get crowded with people getting gas or smokes. If you’re a smoker (I’m not), it’s a good place to buy cigs and a couple of my smoker friends pointed that out to me.

I love how everyone puts «cheapest gas around» and then gives it 1 or 2 stars…
Anywho this Shell on Moorpark+Van Nuys Blvd. has been my go-​to gas spot ever since I got my license. My job and moms apt are near-​by and it’s the cheapest gas station in Sherman Oaks (out of like 10 stations).
It’s even cheaper than ARCO on Moorpark+Coldwater.
I don’t smoke but friends that do go here for what they say are some of the cheapest prices for cigarettes.
They have $ 2.25 Red Bulls too which is a nice little pick me up. They’ve got squeeGees and paper towels too.
The staff is pretty friendly with me since I’m a daily regular… but I’ve seen people have issue with them. They’re all Asian and sometimes it’s hard to communicate with them and there IS the one lady who works the night shift that is often sleep next to the window but a light tap on the window and she’s ready to go. And she’s pretty nice too.
The annoying thing is the sleuth of homeless people next to the vending machine. Usually 5 days a week there’s different ones there. I have nothing against homeless people and usually will give them a dollar, or buy them a burger in general BUT when I see the same people week-​after week, month-​adter-​month, year-​after-​year… –_​_​_​–
And some of them cuss you out if you say no or ignore them. Doesn’t happen to me (except twice) cause I’m 6.3″ but I’ve seen them do it often.

So yes cheapest gas station in area. But! Yes there’s a But!!! The little guy is never ready in the station!!! Or seems to be the hot get your cigarette stop!!! By the cases!!! I just want to use my Ralphs Rewards card. You earn 0.10/gal by using your Rewards card. Nothin like a deal!!!

Very busy 10 minute for gas

Little help here?! This place needs better service. Had to wake tthis service attentant up. however cheapest gas in the neighborhood

cheap gas… hard to find a pump.
