“So honest people do exist! My family and I were driving from Arizona to Colorado and had a suit case fall out of the vehicle. The awesome staff at Chevron held on to my bag for 5 days and all of the items were still in the suitcase. Bernardo is the manager and he was so kind to my girls and I. Good variety of snacks too!”

“Room for 2 trucks carefully parked out of the way to the west. The girls' restroom is locked to keep it clean. Cuz the men's room isn't. Simple junk food available. Truck desiel and gasoline. Maybe propane. Open 24 hours”

“I'm so used to everyone ignoring masking I went in without mine and felt bad even though the staff was perfect polite. Quick fix of grabbing mine from the car and I used their super clean restroom and got a snack. Much needed after being on the road hours. Gas was less expensive than it was in Holbrook. I imagine the reviewer saying they were not polite came in with a chip on their shoulder. This little shop has everything you could need in a pinch and the Sinclair brand makes me smile from childhood memories.”
