“Thank you, Sal & the Chevron Three Rivers team, for your kindness when my family and I needed it most. I want to give a very special thank you to Sal, the owner of this Chevron, for being so incredibly understanding and compassionate during a very stressful situation for my family and I. I was in a rental car stopping at the Chevron to pump gas and grab snacks for my family and the kids before heading up to Sequoia National Park to retrieve my disabled vehicle, which had been stranded inside the park. I mentioned my situation to Sal and asked if it would be okay for AAA to drop my vehicle off at his Chevron. Without hesitation, he was incredibly understanding and kind. He even offered to let me keep my vehicle parked at his gas station overnight until a tow truck could pick it up the following day. That gesture meant so much to me because I was already dealing with the stress of being stranded, coordinating AAA, figuring out transportation for my family, and trying to determine how I was going to get my vehicle all the way back to Long Beach. I also want to give a special thank you to Maria, who was so attentive, helpful, informative, and genuinely compassionate. She really took the time to understand what we were going through and made us feel cared for and welcomed while we were waiting. My vehicle was eventually dropped off at the Chevron around 5 PM, and at that point, I was preparing myself for the possibility of having to pay for an extremely expensive tow from Three Rivers all the way back to Long Beach. The local mechanic shops were already closed, and I wasn’t sure what we were going to do. Thankfully, around 6 PM, I was able to find a mobile mechanic, C&R Mobile Mechanic in Tulare, who traveled to Sal’s Chevron that evening and was able to diagnose and repair my vehicle right there. They fixed the issue by around 8 PM, and thankfully, I didn’t have to leave my car overnight. Even though I ultimately didn’t need to take Sal up on his generous offer to keep my car overnight, the fact that he offered without hesitation meant everything to me. When you’re already stressed and trying to take care of your family, having someone show you that level of kindness and understanding makes such a difference. Sal and Maria, thank you for being such kind and compassionate people during a very difficult evening for us. Your generosity and willingness to help a stranger will not be forgotten. May God continue to bless you, your team, and your business with continued success. Thank you for being a bright light during a stressful situation and for showing my family and me genuine kindness when we needed it most. 🙏🏼❤”

“Not a bad experience- I met a lady in the front who was quite helpful when I encountered issues of pumping. She came out helping me for twice in the cold day. Gas is pretty expensive here but it’s Shell. I remembered passing a gas station before entering TR. If want cheap gas, can consider stopping by a gas station in Exeter.”

“Wonderful gas station. Talked with a very helpful lady at the counter about a very handsome cat that hangs around outside. Always a great experience coming to this gas station when I’m going to the sierra nevadas”

“I came here to get some gas before going to and leaving the Sequoia National Park. It's one of the cheaper gas stations close to the Park. They have squeegees and soapy water for customers to clean the car windshields. You can get some snacks inside the store or even use the restrooms.”

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.
