“I had stopped in Parachute today and I got out of my car and saw four nails sticking out of my left front tire. I figured I was completely screwed and then I realized there was a tire shop there. Sinclair! They were able to fix it in about 10 minutes. Two guys tag teamed it and it was like getting a tire change in a NASCAR race. And charge me a fair price too!”

“On a road trip and had an engine problem, pulled over at the nearest garage and it was here. Thank goodness for that because these guys did all they could to get me back onto the road safe and sound. And I never saw any of them walk at a leisure pace, THEY ALL WALK FAST to get whatever task they were working done and they quickly worked on another one. On top of that, they spoke to me like a human and even offered us a beverage!”

“It was kind of an emergency situation. It was getting dark, I had a flat tire on I70, and I had another 250 miles to go. I pulled into this shop and prepared to pay any price to get me back on the road. They came out immediately and took the tire into the shop. I walked to the Subway nextdoor to grab a sub. When I came back, the tire was ready to go. They could con me (someone who is totally vehicle ignorant) to buy a new tire, but they only charged me $23 for fixing it. I was back on the road in no time. They were very nice, honest and professional. Highly recommend.”

“After feeling car sick, we pulled over to fill up and use the facilities. I stopped into the impressively clean bathrooms, but in my state of illness I left my purse inside. Slept all the way home to Denver and didn’t notice my purse missing until we got home. The team reached out to me, took great care of my purse and shipped it home for me. You can’t ask for kinder human beings. Thank you Exxon employees for going above and beyond in customer service. I appreciate you.”
