They crack my car trying to open the front hood. Twice! I’m wondering how much would it cost to fix the painting… otherwise, the service were fast and ok.

Went for an inspection. Very easy. I had to figure out where to go park my car, but the service was helpful and informative, and the people were nice. Would definitely go back.

I had two bad tires and one blew out down the street from these guys. They made time for me in their busy schedule. They worked quick, fast and in a hurry and reasonably priced.

ALWAYS the best price in the area and great staff/service.

I was fully prepared to get work done on my car, but this mechanic said it wasnt necessary just gave me advice instead. How rare! The mechanic was very knowledgeable.

Friendly owner, good service, you can tell they like their cars here.

Incredible customer service here! My friend and I bought an 86 Econoline truck recently that needed lots of work and love, these guys seemed excited and were more than willing to help, they went out of their way to find parts and finished quickly! (great pricing too!) Thank you guys so much :)

Went here for an inspection sticker and had an excellent experience. I was in & out about 5 minutes. Checkout was contactless as well, very quick and efficient. Will definitely be back next year.

Criminally high E85 prices. $2.20 a mile away in Everett. They wanted more for E85 than supreme!!!!

The best customer service you will get. Owner is genuine and caring...always happy to support good local businesses out there! Also prices are 👏 amazing. Highly recommend

Oudy is extremely professional and puts the customer first. He made the entire process so easy in a challenging Pandemic environment. He provides transportation to and from the Shell station, and is very transparent about costs for parts/labor and explains in layman terms what he needs to do. Highly recommend for anyone.

93 oct a bit more expensive than other places, but I buy my E85 from here. The E85 tests around E79-81. Tested 11/2/20 12/5/20 1/1/21 all around E80 mark.It’s good quality, the other place in Boston is around E70-75

Great fast service, Uidy Rhett owner has a friendly and clean shop. I will recommend him and return as needed for auto repair.

Stopped in at 9:30 a.m. on a Friday for what I assumed would be a quick state inspection. Found that my car needed brakes and tires. Working under a tight deadline service was efficient, and I was back on the road when promised.Oudy was honest, professional and transparent about the service needed. I would trust Oudy with my vehicle again.

Oudy was incredible. They really took care of me, and paid for Ubers to and from my house!

Oudy took care of my care from the moment I brought it in. Kept me updated and even gave me a free tank of gas. Was having a hard time with the used car I had just bought (my first) and he took care of all the troubles. Definitely found my repair place from now on!

The owner is very professional, he’s taking care of our car since the first time we went because the AC wasn’t working. They recharged it and after that we found out the AC compressor was broke, so they’ll change it and then recharge the AC again for free! (:

Magazine Shell and Automotive was recommended to me by an employee of Valvoline who discovered a problem with my exhaust system. Every time I have important work that needs to be done on my car, I have taken it to a dealer for their expertise, familiarity and ease of ordering parts. However, I often feel overcharged. I tried going to this automotive repair shop, and I am so happy I did. I was greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable owner Oudy, who walked me through every step of the process to fix my vehicle with honesty and transparency. The work he did was fast, affordable and done with a smile. He is very competent, and his service was exceptional. And to go the extra mile, while my car was in his shop, he comped me a water and a ride home which are just the kind of personal touches that make a big difference in a customer experience. He is also masked and takes Covid-19 very seriously, so you will feel safe in that respect as well. Thanks to Oudy for opening up his shop! Go see him, you won’t be sorry!

Loved the vintage vibes of the Shell neon signboard.

New owner has more than 14 years experience with European cars, serviced and changed brakes on my mini for exactly the price quoted on the phone in exactly the amount of time he said. All factory parts, installed with confidence, and no problem striking issues I didn’t want to deal with at the time from the job. Nice guy, knows his business inside and out and wants to deliver at the Shell.

Oudy and the workers at Shell Magazine are amazing! I have an older vehicle and they were very kind and professional in inspecting and fixing my car. Thanks again Oudy and I highly recommend these guys!!!

Best service. You can definitely trust them 100%. I met the owner Udi who himself took care of getting me new set of tires and recommending other services that were required to be done. Im not expert in most of the technical stuff but I trusted them it really turned out to be a great experience. There we no extra charges other than what he promised. This is my fix store for getting all the basic maintenance.

New owner. Good guy. High integrity. Doing things the right way. Fast, friendly and helpful service. For a small shop, have a good inventory to solve issues for a wide variety of vehicles. Reasonably priced. Wish theyd upgrade their food and snacks to something healthier, but maybe thats just what people buy at gas stations.

I had an excellent experience at this Shell today - I managed to bend my wheel rim on a pothole in Cambridge and my tire went flat. I pulled my car into the service station hoping they could help. Not only were they able to work on my car right away, they were able to bend the rim back and then check to make sure the tire would hold air. When I asked how much I owed them, the manager cheerfully told me that it was free. Seriously impressed with the service and speed - highly recommend!

Oudy did a great job explaining the service and getting repairs done quickly and for a reasonable price. Very friendly and professional, I was a little nervous about the new ownership at first, but Oudy did a great job and took great care of my car, would highly recommend him to anyone in the area. I’ll definitely be going back in the future.

Oudy the service advisor is very knowledgeable about the cars him and his crew work on. Great service & Excellent Pricing !

Best service I have had at an auto repair center. Oudy worked around my busy schedule and texted me detailed photos of exactly what was wrong with my car, quoted me a great price, and even threw in a free oil change. This is the first place I will go for all future car repairs.

After changing oil here, the oil light came up on. The oil level stick did not even show trace of oil, and I needed to add three quarts to bring the oil level back to normal. They were either careless or cheating at the cost of customers safety.

Great for inspection and took care of a low tire pressure indicator.

Owner Oudy was so kind and professional. I dropped off the car without an appointment and had new brakes and an exhaust leak fixed in under 3 hours. Oudy went through all cost estimates before doing any work and there were no surprises. Excellent service!

Highly recommend Oudi and his crew for any/all of your car needs! I brought my Infiniti in for an oil change and they found my front brakes were in rough shape...they were 100% right. They told me they had to order the parts in, but they managed to have it ready by end of day! Incredible work for a reasonable price, and the new owners are clearly running the place well with new upgrades and a clean, friendly, and efficient work environment.

Phil is the best. Reliable, fair, honest, always willing to advise. He has been nothing but a pleasure to work with for all the years my husband and I have been going to him. He takes a personal interest in his clients and goes out of his way to help; he is also very fairly priced and never overcharges. If he doesnt find something wrong, he doesnt do anything. Highly recommended!

Went in for an inspection. it was very quick and professional. new owner is professional and friendly. i really appreciate the positive attitude. i will be coming to this station from now on!

The new owner is very friendly and helpful. All of the work Ive had done there has been done quickly (same day or next day) at very reasonable rates.

When my car did not pass inspection, Oudy immediately took the time to diagnose the problem (old catalytic converter/exhaust system), explain the issue to me, and offer me a fair quote. The repair was done efficiently, and I was called promptly upon completion. Oudy even took the time to drive around the block with me after pickup when I was concerned about a sound that I had not heard before. He emphasized that the work/parts came with a 2 year/24k warranty, which I appreciated, and encouraged me to come back if any other concerns emerged with the repairs, or with the car in general. Thanks, Oudy, for helping to resolve a stressful and unexpected car issue with efficiency, professionalism, and friendliness.

Owner is nice and the work was done fast.

Just the absolute best. Reliable, friendly, available, cost-effective, effective service and support. I always come here first for problems of whatever size, and nine times out of 10 they can do the work on site and in quick fashion. Customer for life.

Polite staff and very professional! They gave me the best prices out of all gas stations!!Highly recommend

Skilled, honest, affordable service. Brought my CR-V in for a state inspection sticker and Oudy pointed out that I would need front brake pads and rotors soon, which was exactly the one issue my dealership had warned me I would need soon, too. I called the next day and Oudy replaced the brakes in two hours with OEM parts for exactly 2/3 the dealerships quoted price.

Fast, quality service at the right price. Not to mention Oudy and team were a pleasure to work with.

Good customer service! They changed my brakes and tires which i’ve already done before at a different station but weren’t as perfect as Shells!!!

I brought my car here a few days before Christmas. One tire was low, and I was afraid that it would soon be flat. I really didnt need the extra expense or inconvenience of buying a new tire at this busy time of year. Oudy helped me within minutes. He checked the tire, found nothing wrong, added air. I was on my way in 15 minutes with peace of mind. He was efficient and pleasant -- and wouldnt accept any payment for his service. No wonder Magazine Beach Shell has such a high rating and such good reviews!

Great place with HONEST mechanics. They wont try to grab your hard-earned money for no reason.

Phil is a genuinely talented and friendly mechanic and I cant recommend him enough.This is my neighborhood shop and Ive come here on and off for 4 years. Phil is trustworthy and seriously cares about helping you diagnose your problem and offering you solutions that are right for you and your budget.I dont usually leave reviews but the service Ive received from Phil motivated me to do so. Big thumbs up to this guy.

Udi was amazing at fixing my car brakes quickly and with great service. Excellent experience!

The new owners really turned this place around. I love the new hours and how I can get an inspection sticker as early as 8am and as late as 5:30pm flexible around work hours—very convenient for a working professional.

$35 for the state inspection. Quick, courteous, and no wait. The staff were polite. Very efficient place to get in and out with servicing. Will return here annually.

I love the fact they do inspection from 8 am to 5 pm their repair shop is open the same hours and on Saturday they are open 8;30 to 1:30 pm CASH only for inspection! I do not mind their gas is a few since more expensive but the MAIN feature of this gas station is the fantastic repair garage! you pay a few since more per gas but the repair shop is very reasonable and I never have to wait in line for gas like those no name gas stations where you get half gas half who knows what.

Phillip is the most honest person Ive met. He is also very knowledgable and will solve your car problems very fast. I highly recommend this place.Last time he called me to say that he had spent less time than expected fixing my car and so he charged me only 25% of the original budget.

They dont had be the cheapest gas but there workshop is fantastic. Honest guys and girls who seem to know how to work on any car out there. Ive been coming here since I moved to Cambridge 4 years ago and I think I found a goodn

Great job and stuff, the owner is very responsible and knows what he is doing! this is going to be my first place when I needed!

Easy place to get gas. Easy in and out. No problems. Self serve.

Blew a tire on my way into work. Helped me out right away. Very fair prices.

Magazine Beach Shell, simply the best and the most honest mechanics​ in the area. You cannot go wrong with these guys!!!

Dangerous and life-threatening. I tried to have my clutch replaced 4 times here, and they sent me on the road with a clutch that didnt work at all. I ultimately had a car accident when the clutch froze.Good News Garage, by contrast, fixes clutches on the first attempt. Theyve never had a follow-up visit and noted that mine had been improperly installed. Magazine Beach Shell wont refund my money for the faulty clutch, so I need to go through small claims court. I have found numerous other customers in the area who have had the same clutch experience--having the mechanics at Magazine Beach Shell replace a clutch but having it fail the first time back on the road! Phil is usually really nice, but hes been defensive in the wake of this nightmare incident and the fright of the crash. The whole thing was a big scare, because my little son was in the car. When I relayed this to Phil, he laughed and hung up. That was one of the most distressing aspects of this entire experience. Imagine laughing at a long-term customer who experienced a scary crash when the repair you were meant to do didnt work. Given what Ive now heard from other customers, along the same lines as my own experience, I think this handy neighborhood gas station is best for gas, oil changes, and inspections. If you need to replace moving parts, go to a super reliable place--just once, not four times--such as Good News Garage. You might pay a tad more for the repair at Good News Garage, but given my experience (specifically, that I had to end up paying for an entire new car after the accident with my frozen clutch), youll save money in the long haul when the mechanics do it right the first time. This has all been so dispiriting. Again, good place for easy stuff. Beware for any replacement work!

Phil, the mechanic, is fantastic! Honest, smart, and really kind. I trust him a lot and recommend him to all of my friends.

Even though weve moved two neighborhoods away, we still drive the extra distance when we need our car worked on. Theyre quick, honest, friendly, and know their stuff.

I had to get a couple things done on my car and was handled by the mechanic Phil. It was a very simple process, I was told to drop it off in the morning and they would call me later in the day. Everythings been working great since (~ 4 months ago).

Went in for state inspection and 3rd center tail light bulb was found blown. Shop manager/owner (not regular mechanics) asked if I wanted to get it replaced for $15 and I said go ahead. When everything was done he charged me $20 instead blaming expensive Acura bulb, a part I later found to be worth just $2.5 at retail. I returned to my office a few blocks away and managed find the tail light not working. Went back to confront him and the shop refused a partial refund and instead claimed that the brand new bulb was blown on a hot day. The manager obviously was dishonest on both the replacement and the price, and was extremely rude and loudly cursed me, and even threatened to invalidate my registration (as if he is actually able to commit such fraud).

Phil is a great mechanic. Very reliable and fair,A good person!

Its got a nice shell sign. Besides that, its your standard gas station.

EDIT: Phil has moved to APA Automotive Transmissions, very nearby.Phil the mechanic is a super smart, super honest guy.

Phil always shoots me straight and tells me what can wait and what cant. Good service reasonably priced

Convenient location and good price.

They always do a great job. I never feel pressured into repairs I dont agree with or understand
