“Great place for an oil change! I brought in my lowered Mitsubishi Evolution X (which is already a low car) and they had no problems doing work on it. Jiffy Lube on Walnut was trying to charge me $70 even though I had my own oil and filter, Del Mar Auto did it for $45!! That is the best price I have found in Pasadena, and they checked my tires for free. I was impressed by their car knowledge/passion and friendliness. I will be coming back for my future mechanic needs!”

“I am relatively new to the Ralphs Gas Station and I absolutely love it! The gas isn't as expensive as so many other stations in the Pasadena and Altadena area are and the attendants are very friendly.”
960 E Washington Blvd, Pasadena CA 91104
“I can always count on Garo gas having the best price in town. I use Diesel #2 and it is the cheapest even cheaper then the Arco nextdoor to it. Always clean and the attendant is always friendly.”
1010 East Washington Boulevard, Pasadena CA 91104
“Consistently the cheapest price for gas in Pasadena and surrounding cities some attendants have a little attitude but I’ll take it to pay .25 cents less per gallon”

“Before heading to Pasadena yesterday, my car gas gauge was at 2 bars. I said I'll just get gas after my workout. Sure enough... my gas gauge was blinking upon leaving my workout location LOL. I had to quickly find a gas station. Well, the nearest gas station was at least 5 minutes from where I was at. It was between Chevron or Shell. Guess who won? You got it... Shell!Funny, as I was driving to Shell, I saw Chevron, but it was on the other side of the street that I was driving on so I said I'll just stick with Shell. Great corner location on Del Mar Blvd and Arroyo Parkway. Clean exterior. Prices were several cents cheaper than Chevron... yay! They also have a food mart, but I didn't go in. I prefer to pay at the pump unless I really need to go inside. If they run out of paper, I just make myself a note on gas cost and be on my way and not bother going inside to get receipt. Anyway, thanks Shell for being present when I needed you most!”

“This review is not for the filling station - I don't use them. This review is for the fantastic auto shop on site. George is the mechanic and he's awesome! I'm in the car business and I'm very knowledgeable, so I don't go to just any shop. George was referred to me by another friend in the auto business. That was years ago! George is a very honest mechanic. He's very knowledgeable, he's a great smog tech, he is very conscientious, he NEVER leaves fingerprints or dirt in the car! Prices are more than fair and he can do a lot of different repairs on different cars. I highly recommend George and his mechanic/smog shop! You'll like his work!”

“A+ craft beer singles selection (including Mortalis and Everywhere!) and open late, which is such a value add in sleepy LA. The gas station+ craft beer stop concept is genius. Will be dropping by again soon for sure. The attendant was friendly and willing to endure my banter with good grace but wasn't a beer nerd or able to offer recommendations. Seems like a curated tasting/training is in order! If you guys ever roll out some sort of 4 pack discount, I 'd for sure buy in greater quantity. (Pics included of my haul and the well lit parking lot.)”

“Clean, lots of gas pumps, best gas prices in town for real. Store is clean + well-stocked with all the snacks + drinks u can want. No low-lifes hanging around the pumps. Air/water pump available. Corner location is convenient. Busy area.”
392 North Lake Avenue, Pasadena CA 91101
“One of my favorite gas stations to go to. It is local and nearby from work. Especially if you have the Upside app. Prices are competitive, within the app, you get money back after paying. Besides the app, it's a convenient gas station to pass by and is near the freeway. Highly recommend.”
1633 North Altadena Drive, Pasadena CA 91107
“Had no issues coming here. Easy transaction. Gas pumps were working. It looks like a small gas station but it’s actually not, there’s pumps on the other side as well. There’s a full service auto mechanic shop there and a convenience store. They don’t offer diesel fuel so that’s a bummer, other than that everything went well!”
122 North Lake Avenue, Pasadena CA 91101
“I don’t know what attracts me to this 76 gas station, but it’s a very good looking spot! I Love the brick ground flooring with a clear atmosphere space to gas up! This 76 location has an also great selections when it comes to deals with drinks. Usually come here for Red Bull for their deals. Has good selection for food and other items that are neat and organized on outside racks to give the surrounding area more approachable. In the back, at the left top corner, there’s also this open space to park. Parking is usually available. Overall, the atmosphere is amazing and gives a lot of opportunity. The gas prices on the other hand are always a bit high…rarely come here due to that. At least they have a rewards card system, which you can request at the cashier to get started. You’ll be given a physical card, then an easy link to get started provided by your card.”

“My niece left her cell phone at this station. I received a courteous phone call from Arnold and Roger and I asked them to keep it for a couple days so I could reach my niece. They held it and gave it back to her when she arrived the next day. I don't know how they found me I don't know how many people they called till they found me...But I want to commend him on their service and their honor and their help.”

“One of the more 26-foot truckable diesel stations in the Pasadena area. If going west on 210, take the first right off-ramp on the Rosemead Blvd exit 30. That mistake astray from the Google Navigator saved me 2 tight right turns followed by making it difficult to get into the station. Getting back on westbound 210 was easy.”

400 North Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena CA 91103
“Clerk was nice and there is a clean restroom inside. I checked 3 other gas stations nearby and they all claimed it was out of service. I think the front of the building is too dimly lit.”
200 N Hill Ave, Pasadena CA 91106
“Friendly staff, gas that doesn't blow up your tank, and they have snacks. Every other gas station. Why do we have these kinds of reviews for these kinds of places? I don't know. But if you need gas and you want a nice person to talk to and maybe you want to buy a wiener or a Snickers then come to here. You'll be happy that you did. Just make sure to look before you sit down on the toilet. Becky, call me, maybe.”
233 North Altadena Drive, Pasadena CA 91107
“Well, this is my new place for gas in Pasadena. It's not glitzy like the other Chevron on Hill, but if it's what's on the inside that counts, then this is unmeasurably better! Plus, it's convenient to the fwy for me after grabbing the deals at Vons on my way.”
