“I called at like 4:35 and they let me come in for a 4:46pm inspection, got my new sticker in about 10 minutes for $35. Glad I could get it done today, I didn’t realize places could “stop” giving out stickers before their listed closing time so I called and came here”

“Wow!!! Service with a GENUINE smile. Heather should be acknowledged for tremendous customer service. She is TOP NOTCH. As your local female trucker (the boss is familiar with me too) in the neighborhood, you have no idea how a warm smile and friendly hello can brighten your day of traffic, loneliness, and some (not so great) drivers. This chic actually asks you about your day (and wants to hear it)! She is appreciated, it’s the small things that sometimes make the big difference in our world. Thanks for having her on your team. - Jennifer”

“This is the Speedway on the Eastbound side of Rte 9 (the other Speedway is directly across the street) and I drove in today for gas and then decided to go inside for a Diet Coke and a lottery ticket (aka "a few minutes to dream"). Nice guy working this morning - I believe his nametag said Johan - and he was the nicest person I may have chatted with at a gas station in years. Really. And I talk to everyone! He asked how my day was going so far, I said it was good.. almost awesome. After I left, I decided it was awesome. Thanks Johan!”

Are you open for business or was the employee sick or gone for the day??”
