“Easy in, easy out location with a car wash that has an unlimited option. I did not have a reason to go inside of the facility, but the exterior was clean and felt safe. I thought it was great that there was a monthly unlimited option, and hope all has station go to this model.”

“Considering the cost of living in the areas surrounding this gas station and the prices, though considerably higher than average, are lower than what they could conceivably charge. The people working inside the mini mart have never been anything other than friendly.”
27972 Cabot Rd, Laguna Niguel CA 92677
“Costco Gas is always a great deal, and this location is no exception! The prices are consistently lower than nearby stations, making it totally worth the stop. It can get a bit crowded after 5 PM, so I recommend going earlier in the day if you want to avoid the wait. Also, if your vehicle isn’t too wide, I suggest using the right-side pumps—they tend to move a bit faster and are easier to navigate. Overall, clean, efficient, and a great value!”
27220 Heather Ridge, Laguna Niguel CA 92677
“This location is very clean and convenient, offering many lanes for service; I recommend visiting during off-peak hours. I believe their prices are more competitive than those at other gas stations.”

“Alan is the service manager. When I turned 16 in the 90s, he was in charge of a service station in Mission Viejo. His honesty and work ethic made me follow him to 3 different locations over the last 30 years. This shop is reliable and does good work. My wife and daughter now bring their vehicles to him.”
25122 Marguerite Pkwy, Mission Viejo CA 92692
“Family owned. Excellent prices (like Costco) as they do not have to pay franchise fees like Shell, Arco, etc.No extra charge to use credit cards. What you see as prices is what you pay !!”

“Had a tire go flat on me while driving and this Chevron was immediately off the exit. The mechanic on duty, Joe, was amazingly helpful and had the tire off and patched, with me on my way inside of 20 minutes. This was during a high traffic time of day as well. Rare to find this level of customer service ANYWHERE nowadays. Very much appreciated.”
26811 Trabuco Rd, Mission Viejo CA 92691
“I go here enough I thought I should at least give them some kudos. I live a block away from here so I frequent this station all the time. Sometimes for gas and sometimes for some quick snacks. Everyone I've encountered here have been super friendly and helpful. They have smog check, oil changes and tune ups. They also have propane tank exchange which has saved the day for me a few times when I've ran out of propane in the midst of grilling! The prices are usually higher than most places (about 10 cents) but to me it's not so much it forces me to drive any where else. For a fill up it's only about $1.50 so big whoop! It's an easy in easy out station that's always clean for a quick fill or for some quick snacks!!”

“I love the two Latina women who work there. They are always so helpful, nice, and funny!! I always buy lottery tickets and tell them when I win, I'm taking us all on vacation and we laugh. I see them more than I see my family! This is the only place I get gas. They are my stars!”
23891 Bridger Road, Lake Forest CA 92630
“Stop by real quick to get gas, prices where not the best but it was convenient. Pretty clean inside and out. Friendly staff. Clean restroom. Lots of snacks and drink choices. Standard gas station!”
26996 La Paz Rd, Aliso Viejo CA 92656
“Read the other reviews, especially the negative ones, and had a laugh. Let's get real, folks. You come here for smog check, gas, propane, etc. It's not a restaurant. You don't come to a gas station for a good time, or have your ego massaged. It. Is. A. Gas. Station. Yes, the smog check tech is straight forward and all business. But, he is pleasant enough if you are courteous and pleasant to him. Yes, the gentlemen at the register has zero personality (and has no business being in any customer facing position). Yes, the smog check prices is high (and the coupon is almost useless). But, because it's not the cheapest around, there is almost always no line. You show up. You get tested. You pass (hopefully) and you go on with your life. In and out. This is what a nuisances of a vehicle registration renewal should be... i.e. as uneventful as possible.”
24181 Moulton Pkwy, Laguna Hills CA 92637
“I’ve been going to this ARCO/AMPM store for some time now and, for the first time, experienced a small issue at one of the fuel pumps. Essentially, the pump overcharged my account because the sensor didn’t recognize the pump was placed back into its holder. Long story short, the store manager (Maria) went above and beyond to rectify the issue, and provided me with a full refund without hesitation. Her quickness to act and her interpersonal communication skills throughout the entire ordeal were stellar, and I will continue to be a retuning customer. She definitely deserves a promotion!”
27430 Alicia Pkwy, Laguna Niguel CA 92677
“Very straightforward Mobil/Circle K storefront. Nice Staff and typically cordial and polite. Kinda small inside, but well laid out for convenience. I only stopped by for my Sip N Save Coffee O' The Day, however”

“This gas station has the lowest prices on gas in Corona. It is a great food mart with lots of selections of food and drinks. The people that work there are very polite and keep their store very clean. They serve fat burger and wings. They also serve thrifty ice cream too and more.”
27252 Portola Pkwy, Foothill Ranch CA 92610
“This place is always busy 24/7 but always has great deals on cigarettes and 99 cent XL Polar Pop Fountain drinks. And if you ask the attendant for a gas discount card you can get $0.20 off per gallon each time you buy gas thru May 31st! Not a bad deal!”
29080 Portola Parkway, Lake Forest CA 92630
“I have always had a good experience with this gas station. Aside from the small $.35 cents fee for using debit cards, they seem to have very reasonable prices, pump availability, and friendly staff. The food mart is clean and has a wide selection of foods, snacks, and sundries.”
26871 Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo CA 92656
“I was expecting just another quick stop for coffee but this place was seriously good. The service was super fast and the person working there actually cared about the order, which is rare lately. I got their original drink just to try it out and honestly its one of the best I have had in a while, not too sweet and the flavor was spot on. My friend grabbed the cold brew and said the same thing, we were both pleasantly surprised. The inside is small but cozy, felt like a nice quiet spot to sit and chat for a bit. We will definitely be coming back next time were in the area”
24082 El Toro Rd, Laguna Hills CA 92653
“This review is for the attendant that works inside. He is extremely friendly and courteous. There was a blind man coming up on the back entrance and he walked around to make sure that he held the door open for the man. Truly a kind person.”

“I only got gas. From the other reviews, I would never get my car washed here. However, the gas prices are the lowest around. The big problem is they close at 7:00 p.m., and they're a little hard to get into unless you're headed north on Moulton parkway.”
23852 El Toro Rd, Lake Forest CA 92630
“Gas was a little less expensive than what maps has it listed, which made me happy to find out once I arrived at the gas station this shell does accommodate diesel vehicles. Only with a few pumps. I noticed more than a few pumps Out Of Service. Glad I came at this time of night because I bet during rush hour the wait is extreme and worse than Costco but without the very discounted club membership gas prices . Oh I did join their phone rewards and got an additional . 05 cents off my gas per gallon. So I paid 5.24$ per gal. Yikes”
11810 De Palma Rd, Temescal Valley CA 92883

“I filled up the beast today lol. Okay my Ford Crew Cab 4x4 to be exact. I always frequent Shell Gas stations as its a personal preference. The stations are clean and well maintained and I utilize my fuel rewards for additional discounts. The station is convenient and the prices are competitive. Highly recommended.”

“I had a flat tire and needed a oil change. I wasn’t able to make it to the original place of my appointment due to the flat tire. I pulled into the mobile station where Omar came out and ask if he can help. After explaining my situation, Omar with no hesitation lifted my car and help with the flat tire. Even though Omar couldn’t repair my tire he still changed the tire to the spare so I could get to my original appointment. Such a amazing guy. Wish all mechanics were Omar.”
