“I haven't had a need to go to George's in 15 years but my 2007 Toyota 4runner was in desperate need of repair. George got my vehicle in promptly, Lyle replaced the steering shaft, and my truck is like brand new! George is very professional and he and his mechanics are top notch!!!! I'll be bringing my old 4runner back to George's to give her some love she deserves?”

“I usually don't rate gas stations but this one deserved an honorable mention. Their gas was way cheaper than the one next door to them, a little down the street by a lot. Also, they serve hot food; I can't say much about it because I haven't tried it. I will most likely give the food a try next time I stop by and update this review. The parking lot was average size and it was easy getting in and out.”

“I needed a place to get a cold Coke, and low, situated on a curve in New Hartford, was this Mobil station. It's pretty roomy for getting in and out, particularly if you're not there for gas. The inside is much bigger than I was expecting with the usual snacks, drinks, and travel stuffs. There was a deli type space and tables to sit, but given how clean they both were, I'm not sure that they're actually used anymore. But definitely you'll get a cold drink!”

“This long standing Sunoco had the least expensive diesel from a few suppliers in the area. They also carry three different five gallon pails of racing fuel for those who need super high octane gasoline whether headed to Lime Rock or because you own a really hot car with a big muscle engine. There is a mini-mart available as with most gas stations. At the end of Route 8, it's a right turn towards Winchester (Winsted) about a half mile down on the left.”

“Clean, friendly, and accommodating! Just remember, if they can't take a big bill, its not their fault! Foods fresh and tasty, TRY THE PENNIES! Bathrooms are the cleanest I've ever seen for a public restroom!”

“Great staff, clean store with everything from hot food to deli to car accessories. I love this place because it's also one of the last remaining gas stations that also sells diesel and kerosene from dedicated pumps. Never had any issues here whatsoever. One of my top picks for gas station in the Winsted/Riverton/Colebrook area.”

The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
