“Fueled up on gas here and had a great experience. The restrooms were spotless which was a pleasant surprise. The attendant was very friendly and helpful. Five stars and I will definitely return.”
“Thank you again park ridge shell. Talcott and cumberland. Just a great job on my car as always. Tires , alignment , oil change. Been a customer since the 80 s. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Great staff.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Freds of Northfield, the service, the attention to detail and particularly the communication on what was happening with my vehicle was first class! I’ve been servicing cars for 35 years mostly at dealerships and in all honesty the service that Manny provides is better than any I’ve been. Will definitely e going there for all my Auto service in the future.”
“I originally tried Mayday out because because it's a couple blocks from my work, but twice now I was stuck and had to have it dropped off there with no notice. They've been able to absorb it into their workflow, figure out the issue and turn it around so fast. This last time, they fixed my problem, and did 2 other services I knew I needed and still got it back to me in 24 hours. Very honest people. Never tried to sell me a service I didn't need (talked me out of one I thought I wanted and didn't need) and the prices aren't buried under a dozen upcharges and mystery fees. On my 2nd car with them now, and so long as I can get my car there, Mayday will be the only place I want working on it.”
“Good location, good prices. Most of the gas stations I passed at the time were running around $3.30 to $3.39 and this station was $3.08 nothing much else to tell.”
“Great store went in first time today. Had to use washroom after a 2.5 hr drive. Its got a little of everything for everyone there. I ended buying things I shouldn't but that my own fault lol. Great service too keep it up.”
“My young son and I were driving to the Shedd Aquarium from Waukesha, WI when my check oil light came on. I will admit that I am completely ignorant when it comes to just about anything with cars, so I had no idea what kind of damage I could be doing to the car to continue driving, and I was a good 2 hours from home. I happened to find Kris Touhy Auto because I searched for a BP gas station close to me along my route -- and sure enough attached to the BP was this auto shop. I was shaken, I was embarrassed, I was rushed -- and the two men in the shop (an older gentleman and a younger man) immediately stopped what they were doing and both came out to check my oil level and fill it up -- for like pennies! They even showed my son (and me) how to do it. I can't say enough good things about these men and this shop. It seems like a simple, easy thing for most, but they saved the day for me, and it had a huge impact on my day. If I lived closer, you'd be my go-to! Thanks, gentlemen.”
“We had a horrible night when a tub of white paint fell off a truck into the street and hit our car. 1/2 the car was covered in paint. We frantically drove here hopping to clean the car. They were closed but when seeing our car they quickly brought us back and 5-6 young men working her got almost all of the white paint cleaned off my car before it was too late. You guys are the best!!! Thank you again”
“HUGE gas station with 15+ pumps. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to pump gas at this location. Also, price is ALWAYS lower than any other station in my area.”
“I live in Chicago and work in Des Plaines. And this gas station has the cheapest gas anywhere that I've been to. And they also have everything you need in their convenience store including Subway. Highly recommend it.”
“I like the efficiency in accessing the pumps at this location. The only issue I have is getting the scanners to accept the barcode in the Costco application. It slows me down big time because I end up having to use the physical card. Perhaps the sensors need to be cleaned off frequently.”
“Lately, my car's engine has been dying and all the lights on the dashboard turn on while I'm still driving. The engine turns back on with no problem, but it happens randomly. I didn't know how much the dealer was going to charge but, I want to stop by repair shop first. Easy Car Repair mechanic wasn't sure he could fix the problem, but he said he would try. A couple of days later, he told me to give it a try and the car rides so smoothly now. He only charged $180 for it.Thank you so much!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic”
“I absolutely love Whole Foods! There’s a great variety of fresh and/or organic vegetables and fruit to choose from. Whole Foods is the best store to buy fresh caught fish, grass fed and finished meat.”
“I received excellent and courteous service when I turned up minutes before closing with a flat tire. They kindly looked and repaired my tire for a very fair price. I appreciate them staying late to help me. I can only highly recommend their service and I will for sure be back!”
“Stopped to fill up and I was surprised to see that this station has MD Trolli when stores near me don't have it. The friendly cashier said to me to take them all and I did”
“I drive all over Cook county for work. When I'm in Park ridge/Eddison/South Park I always get gas here. Everyone is really personable. Especially the fair headed cashier. He always looks me in the eye and says thank you. That might not matter to everyone but it brightens my day a little.”
“Everything about this gas station is amazing , the staff is so wonderful kind and courteous I recommend anyone to come here I've had nothing but great experiences price are amazing thank you for making this neighborhood gas station a wonderful place”
“Typically a lot of cars regardless of the time. I went early around 8am on a Wednesday. One car was idle for a while at the pump and did not get gas for at LEAST 5 minutes. This would be fine but there was another pump that was broken and this car was just sitting there. The attendant did not say anything and it was just a little annoying but it's okay, I got my gas”
“Tap isnt signed up yet for phone wallets , because money is ment to be saved idk why would god sell all these items to 1 guy or person like me,😄 its free to my beliefs that the sky and everything is home, and home is believed for everyone and is for free and like life and love is free, im free lets ask heavens and angels is life free $$$ is a sign of to expensive to buy this home”
“consistently clean facilities, friendly and helpful staff, competitive fuel prices, well-lit pumps, readily available snacks and drinks, a convenient location, and well-maintained restrooms”
“I live very close so I come here a lot. Never had any issues with gas pumps or anything else. They're open very late and all the guys that work here are cool. Best music out of any gas station I've been to.”
“I have been a customer of Power King for over 20 years. They have done a great job of taking care of all the cars in our family. Sargon, the owner, has also sold us three cars that he fixed up. He's a wonderful mechanic and very honest.”
“A smaller gas station than some of the others along 41, they're still one of the better stations. The pumps here are FAST - I can fill up my tank faster than most of the other stations. Prices are fair, for a station right on the expressway, and you can save if you get a car wash after filling up. Their automated car wash system - A Ryko SoftGloss MAXX 5 brush friction wash system - is available 24 hours, and does a really good job for such low prices. They have a coin-op vacuum cleaner and air pump around behind the mini-market. The mini-mart is definitely miniature, but still well stocked given the limited area. The staff are all really friendly, too. This gas station is connected, by a small road in the back, to the Taco Bell and Wendy's - making it a nice late night destination to refuel your vehicle and your belly.”
“Surprised by how clean the restroom was. The place is small and I expect a disgusting restroom like most gas stations like this but I was surprised and felt like it needed a positive review on it. Great clean restroom! -1 star just because it’s a smaller store with limited options. Staff was friendly”
“While I was waiting for my Mobil card gets some points it never show it in the screen not nice what's is the purpose to make customers believe that is true very disappointed,long time customer.”
“If your car has a large tank and is completely empty, you can use this gas station and get a discount of up to 30 cents by paying six dollars for a car wash per gallon. Of course, if your car is dirty and needs a car wash.”
“Deerfield Shell station always comes through for me!! I appreciate all you do to keep my car running!! Very reasonable! The gentleman there are always friendly just like it use to be!! Thank you!!”
“This has been my daily go to. I usually don’t stop here for gas, but usually for a drink or a snack. The staff is awesome. On a first name basis with them now. I just wish cousins was open more often.”
“I wish they were back to 24/7 and when they had competitive gas prices. I used to drive out of the way to come here for the cheaper gas, but now they're the same as everywhere else. They still have the $4 car wash that includes free vacuuming, and the vacuums are incredibly strong (too strong, honestly).”
“Paid for gas with mobil rewards card and mobil credit card. Was not crowded. Was quick and easy. But only thing was I had to get receipt inside because the pump said see attendant for receipt.”

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