“This is my number 1 choice for fill ups. Instead of waiting for a spot at the BP on Irving Park and church that is always full, I go to this Amoco near Walgreens, is always accessible,has a lot of pumps to choose from and is the same price as BP credit, did I mention that you get the same gas? They are the same company run thru different names.”
“This is a small grocery store that has everything you need for your daily household. From produce, meats, deli, toiletries, chips, and many more. Plus parking is not hard. We came here to buy some spices and chicharones. Their chicharon is homemade and its good.”
“I’m giving this gas station four stars because they truly have some of the best prices in the area. However, their employees could benefit from retraining in professionalism, respect, and customer service—especially when interacting with older customers. Earlier this afternoon, I experienced an unfortunate situation. After filling up my tank and purchasing items in the store, my vehicle wouldn’t start. Instead of showing understanding, an employee told me to push my car out of the way and even threatened to have it towed, despite me clearly explaining that I had already contacted a tow company for assistance. Telling someone to physically push their car is not only inconsiderate but also unsafe—if I had been injured while following their instructions, the gas station could be held liable. Their lack of awareness and compassion was disappointing. I ended up having to call the Bensenville Police Department to resolve the situation because the employees simply didn’t understand that pushing a vehicle is not reasonable or safe. Overall, I still recommend this gas station for its prices, but I hope management retrains their staff to show more empathy, maturity, and knowledge of basic safety and liability concerns when dealing with customers. Bottom line yes — the gas station (or its owner) can be liable if someone is injured while following an employee’s direction to push their car on the property, especially if the instruction or conditions were unsafe.”
“The dude that works there is a really good worker he’s chill and shi he should get a raise but the female worker treated us like thugs, she called me a monkey due to my skin color. She locked us in the gas station until we payed although we did not want to pay. The only reason i am giving this a 5 star is because the guy that works there is really kind and humble to help us find stuff.”
“The place looks good... Hot and cold food items available.... Clean restrooms.... pleasant enough staff. Parking for 10, maybe 15::: But you can pretty much forget parking, it's taken up by locals.... Diesel fuel available...”
“Friendly, helpful staff. They acknowledge and professionally engage customers in a way that is not commonly found in convenience stores. It is apparent this is a locally-run business, in spite of being a major chain, due to the pride they take in this store.”
“Best Truck Stop Ever!!!! They are helping so many local truck drivers to park their trucks! You can leave your truck for ……. And they still don’t tow even they could tow it and charge it!”
