“It can be really hard if you have a car problem when you are on a trip. You don’t know the shops. If you find a good shop, they are busy and want you to make an appointment for next week. The bad ones have time for you, since the locals already know to avoid them. But yesterday I just got lucky. Sombrero is a very competent place, so they have plenty of business. I could see all the cars other customers had left. But when Ernest heard my story, he decided to take care of me first. I put on a timer when I left my car and he was finished in 47 minutes! I was again on my way and I was actually able to complete all three of my appointments in Phoenix and head home the same day. Thanks, Ernest, for saving my trip! Not only was Ernest fast, but he bills in a very fair way for the customer. If you go to Auto Zone and your needed part is priced at $100, the shop can get that same part for maybe $80 because they are a high volume account. And when that part shows up on your bill when you check out, the invoice might charge you $160 or $200. Except for with Ernest; he charges you for his cost only, so you pay only the same $80 he paid. Sombrero would definitely be my go to shop if I lived in Buckeye.”

“Always Quick! They have a huge variety. To go snacks, the mac n cheese tastes better than gramas. Pizza and sandwiches are a good option too! Some grilled things.”

“’ve been a local here in Buckeye for 37 years, and I genuinely love this gas station and the effort that’s been put into it. It has one of the best selections of snacks and drinks around, the coldest beverages in town, and the service is always great. My only concern is the car wash. While it seems to be maintained to a certain extent, I’ve consistently run into the same issue. Each time I go to wash my pickup, there’s a significant amount of mud left behind from previous users. It’s gotten to the point where I have to spend extra time and money clearing out the wash bay myself just to be able to clean my vehicle properly—otherwise I end up tracking mud into and onto my truck, and even having mud fling back onto it when I leave. Once or twice, that’s understandable. But when it happens every visit, it becomes frustrating and inconvenient. A little extra attention to this area would make a big difference. Possibly having an attendant check the bays periodically, or even adding signage encouraging customers to clean up after themselves, could go a long way. I say this because I truly appreciate this location and want to see it continue to be the best it can be. Thank you for your service shell.”

“Seeing TJ at the kiosk is always a great addition to my day. He’s super personable, knowledgable, and fast. Please, someone in the higher ups needs to recognize this gentleman as he represents your brand well!”

“Definitely pass up, Love's gas station to come here. There's twice as many pumps, the bathrooms are very clean, there's a ton of drinks and great food choices. Plus it's connected to a Super Star Car Wash. there's a reason it's 4 out of 5 stars here.”

“The autogenerated AI response comments are predictably hilarious. Talk about a automated disingenuous indifference! One can only guess that shell never even reads comments that are left.”

“I was in this store a few days ago, and it was really busy, but what do you expect... its the only place for quite a while to get snacks and petrol. I love the mother daughter duo that work there, both very cute... Also theres a guy there, I think his name is larry... he's a chatter box, but funny. I dont know her name, but I think the manager is the shorter of the ladies who works there... she seemed a little stressed out. Overall, I like this store and most of the ppl who work here.”

“I was on the fence about a three or four star review here because the location was clean, plenty of parking, easy access from any direction and good service when we checked out. I was bummed at some of the drink selections though. I've never seen so many energy drinks in my life. Tons of Pepsi products but maybe one row of coke or Diet Coke. I looked everywhere for a Coke Zero and nothing. Unless you want a bang energy drink or water not a lot of sugar free options today we're found. Maybe they were out, but the Coke options were definitely lacking. This location is pretty far out so a bit of a bummer.”

“I needed some gas until I could make it to Costco. The store is clean and has lots of products geared towards trackers. There is also a really good Mexican food here. It is close to the freeway and the gas ⛽ prices are lower elsewhere, but it is good gasoline.”

“Good little kiosk as quick as they can be with helping customers, also i found out that Fry's isn't the one in control of the air pump and the Def pump but you can always call the 1-800 number on the pumps if you have an issue and you can always get those numbers from the cashiers, gas prices while occasionally higher than other places it's not the employees fault cuz the company controls the price not the employees at the kiosk”

“This is a pretty decent gas station and truck stop. They tend to be a little pricy on some items and on gas. It is usually pretty busy. The workers seem to be pretty busy all of the time and tend to be a little short tempered most of the time. It isn't the cleanest gas station either. They do carry a good variety of items. They have a rather large selection of vapes if you smoke tobacco products. Over all it is a pretty good gas station.”

“This location is pretty rough. There's a lot of potholes coming into the gas station and it appears that the concrete on the property is also in need of repair. There's only a few pumps and a lot of people coming through. Inside, there were a lot of out of stock items and it's a small gas station. Not the best crowd of patrons either. Definitely the type of place to watch your children and lock your doors. Right off of a major interstate, lots of open land on one side and trailer park on the other. On the other hand, if you're headed in from the West and plan to visit Buc-ee's, stopping here for some water and gas might be cheaper and faster than doing it at Buc-ee's if you just intend to window shop for the experience. I've stopped here twice in the last couple weeks for just that exact reason because I wanted to take my kids to Buc-ee's but I didn't want to sit 30 minutes in line for a bottle of water when they got thirsty nor wait for a pump in the parking lot madness over there. This gas station is the more convenient stop just ahead of that attraction. The staff at this location are very pleasant & helpful. This location also has liquor.”

“Today I came into this circle k to get some swishers. The gentleman and lady behind the counter, Richard and Jasmine, were super nice and helpful. Richard looked for an item he thought they were out of and turns out there was another box of the item I wanted. Thank you so much to both of you Richard and Jasmine for being so nice. I sincerely appreciate you.”

“I love this place. I'm there daily. Today I was told I was a favorite because of the great energy I bring. I needed that today. They also have great gas and food.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
