“Wow! I popped a tire a block from Andy’s Service early evening and quickly thought to pull in Andy’s rather than putting on my spare or calling a tow. I am beyond glad I did! They were out in the parking lot checking out my tire within one minute of parking. Reluctant to drive my car into the garage with it on the floor, they pulled out all equipment needed, car jack and air hose, right into the parking lot to try to find out what type of damage was done. The goal was determining quickly whether it could get fixed easily tonight, or if it was beyond a patch and needed to be attended to in the morning. With the busy family evening ahead of us and trying to quickly coordinate alternate plans with my spouse, Jodi was incredible with communicating what they were finding and whether it was going to be a quick fix or not. It wound up being a patch and I was back on to my evening plans within 30 minutes of popping my tire and at an insanely cheap price! I literally asked, “That’s all I owe?!??” I have had oil changes, tires, brakes, and “strange sounds” all taken care of at Andy’s over the years and they always provide amazing service, with an honest assessment, and what I have found to be very fair, reasonable prices. Thank you for making my night a little easier! We will definitely continue to come back!”

“Stopped in the other day for water and some powerball tickets. Everyone was so friendly here, I was impressed. If I lived in the area, I’d be back but unfortunately I would only go there to renew my license again.”

“I would give it a 5/5 but for some reason the gas pumps in the fall and winter are very very slow! Took like 15 mins to fill my car. Otherwise if your getting 93 octane here it's the place to go. Car wash is good as well.BP please look into why the pumps pump slow even the other 2 guys pumping gas said the same thing.”

“Chicken Wings where great, better than Buffalo Wild Wings by far, but the service was definitely extremely odd and very weird and took about 40 minutes to get my food. I will goto the Ramsey location next time instead......”

“they are one of the only stores open 24/7 before and still after covid hit ! I love this place usually always play my lotto here. They have a freshly made mini bakery thats Really good ! the cinnamon rolls and donuts are Delicious. Gas prices are usually the cheapest around ! and in the winter if you pay inside they give you a few cents off just for coming out into the cold. Great staff as well and all workers have been there for years ! Love this store all around !”

“I would like to thank the wonderful associate named Angela. She has such Amazing absolutely incredible customer service skills From the second I walked up to the counter. I Felt more like a friend than an annoying customer. The way she interacts with people Is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. If she’s not the manager of that store, then she deserves a promotion a raise, and her own store. I can’t thank you enough Angela. I will now be coming to that holiday for all of my gas station.”

“This Shell station is good but I wish they carried 93 octane, many other Shell stations do. This one only carries 91 octane for premium. Regardless, this is a great fuel station. They are one of the few left in the area carrying Shell fuel, which is one of the highest detergent brands. Most of the fuel stations in this area have lost their Top Tier certification, so I appreciate this Shell station being around to provide quality fuel.”

Read the postLove'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.
