“I was glad to find this Chevron because my gas tank was really getting low and I didn't want to get stranded on the road. However, it seems like Chevron gas is almost always more expensive than other brands.”

“Hands down the best gas station to stop at. Extremely friendly and helpful workers who go out of their way to help. The stores clean, the bathrooms are clean and they have a little of everything if you happen to break down in their parking lot. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

“I stopped here to use the bathroom and pick up a couple of energy drinks while driving a long stretch of the I-40. Prices for snacks and food seemed on par with most other stops on this route. They have prepared hot Indian food for sale (didn't try it) and a dining area at the rear of the store. Bathroom was being cleaned late at night, and I got a chance to use it right after it was cleaned-- no complaints and I'm assuming they are keeping it clean on a regular schedule. One suggestion is to put in more lighting, like cool white or something. The entire place is very poorly lit at night so it gives it a tired feel. This isn't a preferred stop for me though because they have no EV charger station.”
