“College Street Motors is truly exceptional! I’ve been here twice now, and both experiences have been phenomenal. Most recently, I was preparing for a cross-country trip when my car suddenly started making chirping noises. Despite it being last minute and close to closing time, they took my car in without hesitation. By early the next morning, it was fully repaired and ready to hit the road. Their professionalism, kindness, and efficiency are unmatched. Highly recommend!”

“Cumberland Farms is the only convenience store at which I choose to stop. Staff is always professional and the stores are usually very clean. They have had some problems keeping their fountain drinks stocked but other than that I have no complaints. I know exactly what I want and where to get it. A wait in line is not infrequent at the busiest locations, but fortunately there is usually help nearby to open up another register.”
