“Had a flat from a pothole on a snow storm day. They were closed on Sunday, but first thing Monday I went in to see if they can get a new tire on. At first they said they didn't have the size for my car so then I started calling other places to find somewhere that has it. Right as I was pulling out of the chevron to get on my way, the guy ran up to my car and told me to wait a second while they double and triple check. They ended having it and were able to put it in under 30 mins so we were on our way! Appreciate their help after a stressful weekend.”

“The staff is very friendly and welcoming, but the owner was quite rude. One time he told me there was no coffee and that I should go somewhere else, and he said it in a very disrespectful way while claiming he was too busy.”

“Always friendly??. Small shop with your basic in store items. A whole lot cheaper than the Chevron down the street owned by the Cox family, without a doubt! Employees could be a bit more conversational rather than a quick transaction. I drop in at least 3-4 times a week. Simple neighborhood fuel station.”

“10 out of 10 would Poop here again! Cydni was great about snacks and check out. She took time for each of us in my party. Seriously, the cleanest bathroom ever! Rolling through town trying to find a place clean enough to poop. Last place and I am surprised there wasn't a butler in there to hand me the towel to dry my hands. Would not have surprised me to get a massage at the same time. Will be back to drop a load soon!”
