“I'm writing this review because I happened to pass this exact gas station TWICE, once going up to the Bay and the other time driving down to San Diego. I wanted to explore the Palisades and see how badly affected it was due the 2025 wildfires. This gas station was well-located and the cashier allowed me to use the restroom inside, which was rather clean. I would notice people at the traffic light would look at me as I was getting my gas, which was oddly kind of nice because I got the feeling they were trying to identify if I was some kind of celebrity or not. A few days later, I got off the 405 on Sunset and passed this station as I was trying to intuitively navigate to a bar in Santa Monica, and I stalled my car once the red light took >3-4 minutes to turn green — causing enough consternations (delayed Saturday night dinner?) as for a driver several cars behind me to beep the horn. Enough of the short stories.”

“I went here to get just to get enough gas to be able to drive to another gas station to get cheaper gas. My fault for not getting it in my own neighborhood. Gas prices are crazy, even worse on the west side of the city. So I'd suggest looking around because there are some gas stations out there that are way cheaper.”

“Disclosure - I've never once interacted with any of the workers here, only swiped my cc to grab gas and go, so my 5 star review is based on the following: 1. Price - this is consistently the cheapest gas station in the sm area north of the 10. Over the years, I've kept my eye out and tried to save money where I could; I haven't found another station in the area that's as competitive (stations offering special cash pricing excluded) 2. Alt fuels - e85!! And diesel!!! And more e85!!! And it's not just 1 pump that has e85, it's all of them! If you like to tinker with cars, finding a local station that carries e85 is like finding the garden of eden for cheap hp.”

“This is a great gas station! The prices here were the best in the area. It’s very conveniently located off Wilshire very nice and spacious and wasn’t too busy when I was there. But my favorite part was the kind service and hospitality I received here”

“Talk about a one stop shop! Everyone here is so so friendly and I always look forward to charging my car here :') They literally have everything you can imagine, really taking the concept of a convenience store to a whole another level.

“$5 Gallon November '22Speedway here has one air pump for your tires and only one vacuum for your car interior. The vacuum is two dollars and feels like it lasts more like three minutes than five. It is a smaller gas station still with only 5/6 pumps. **I have to give this review 4 stars because when I pulled up one pump was out of service, all the rest of them could only accept credit or debit card payments at the window.** This Speedway still may have the very best price gas in Santa Monica!!! Great for Speedy Rewards members to earn points on gas quickly, but point rewards selection at this location are slimmer than Slim Jim's. This is definitely a gas station where you can get your gas and get through because the one pump in front is out of service so it's easier to circle around the outside. There really is no parking lot here though. The space available for parking is right in front the vacuum and air pump spaces, which is really just two or three at most. No worries about the doughnuts selection, Lincoln Blvd has plenty of other great options for doughnuts! Drive safely always! Happy Holidays 2022!”

“I took my car here for a SMOG check today because it is down the street from my work. I was surprised at how fast they got the job done. The price was reasonable and they had me in and out in less than 30 minutes. I was also able to grab an energy drink and fill up with gas and get back to work with time to spare on my lunch hour. All in all a good experience!”

“The attendants are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the station will be closed for approximately 6 months for necessary maintenance. Reopening in September 2026.”

“Ivan at the register was extremely nice. My truck is an event truck used for camping and cookouts. Therefore, VERY dirty. After I purchased a drink I washed the beast and filled a tire with free air. The truck shines again Decent fuel proces also. Thanks guys!”

“Despite the extended wait times, this gas station offers the best prices when you're a member. However, visits to the store aren't typically tied to refueling, contrary to their expectations. While contemplating a diesel truck, it seems they only provide regular and premium gasoline options, limiting choices for diesel vehicle owners.”

“Clean and fast service. I also bought a mega millions here and hope to win the lottery.The place is bright and clean that makes people feel safe and comfy. Drinks are not like 7-11 that you get 2nd one with 50% discount. It is still reasonable priced. It is smaller than 7-11 but with enough selection and you can pretty much get what you need here.The gas price seems to be the lowest in this area, which is also a gods thing. We care about gas price more than the drink or hotdog actually.The garage is closed. It provides oil change and other services. That is convenient and thoughtful. I like the design and mutual beneficial setting for cars and drivers.The shopkeeper is also nice and friendly. He is great.”

“I usually go to this Shell for very urgent and quick car wash, or using the vacuum and air pump.. and their convince store. I barely gas here cause the prices are high and there is an Arco and Speedyway very close by. The CarWash main problem is that it does not have dryer, however compared to a coin up car wash it is much faster , if you don’t mind drying your car yourself. Also there are usually a couple guys who are there to dry and you can pay them anything.. I personally don’t mind drying my car. The are two vacuum cleaners, like the ones in coin up car washes.. not the most powerful and cleanest but they get the job done.. however here they charge $2 while most other vacuum cleaners of this type that I seen are $1 for 4 mins The best part is air pump.. it has a fee on the machine but when I ask the attendant they open it up for me for free. Overall this might not be my first choice to go buti it has always saved me when I was in rush Also any of the staff member I had interaction with were extremely friendly and helpful”

Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food.
