“Always the best gas price in the area. Good selection of snacks. Old pumps, so pre-paying isn't as convenient as other stations, but it's worth it for the price difference.”

“Stopped at this Centex in Lindbrook to fuel up and, like many people on the road, I also needed to use the washroom. I’ll be honest… I wasn’t expecting much from a small gas station washroom, but I was genuinely impressed. The toilet was spotless and so clean it practically sparkled when I walked in. The sink was clean, the walls and tiles looked freshly wiped down, and the entire washroom gave the impression that someone genuinely takes pride in maintaining it. It’s easy to overlook the importance of a clean washroom, but for travellers and people who spend long hours on the road, it makes a huge difference. A sincere thank you to whoever is responsible for keeping it in such great condition, your efforts definitely don’t go unnoticed. Only thing I’d say is if you’re a bigger or taller person, the toilet might feel a little on the cozy side. 😄 Overall, a great stop with cleanliness that stands out. Keep up the excellent work!”
