“Was driving from CT to PA for the Thanksgiving holiday to visit family, and had had some work done on my car before our road trip began. On our drive we started hearing a concerning noise coming from where I had just got work done. Called a couple of places in town, as we were over two hours from home and never been in this area and everyone was busy and couldn't take a look, Owen's was the only place that said they could take a look, even knowing we've never been a customer before. We headed over and one of their guys took a look at what was going on. He assured us we were safe to continue our trip. I couldn't begin to express my gratitude for them taking the time despite being busy to check everything out to make sure we could safely make it to Thanksgiving.”

“A terrible thunderstorm knocked power out of whole area and found this Exxon with power about 5 miles in. Everywhere else had lost power. We found this Exxon to be the only business with power, really weird. The thunderstorm had passed and the friendly Exxon attendant pumped the gas for us. We went back to the interstate which was over 5 miles and didn’t see one spot that had power. Spooky and weird but glad this friendly Exxon had the power with power.”

“Helped me with a dead battery even though I'd filled up at the station next door. I should have gassed up here as it is 20 cents a gallon cheaper than the Mobil next door, but I was coming from the south. They wouldn't even accept any money for helping with the battery. Service like that is hard to come by. This will be my go to gas stop when I'm in the area.”

“I am so thankful for the employee at the Dunkin’ Donuts here. I am a female New Jersey Uber driver, and as most people know bathrooms for us… are important but rarely allowed. The attendant at the Mobil counter didn’t even hear me out, I purchased gas and was denied the restroom because, it’s for “employees only” I am 80 miles away from home and she had no empathy what so ever! But thanks to the DD employee for allowing me to use the restroom I greatly appreciate it!”

“Gentleman behind the counter tonight was super honest. I left an extra twenty on the counter when I asked to fill $40 in my tank and didn't realize in my hurry. The gentleman walked it out to my car, confirmed the amount and handed me back my extra $20. Happened Saturday Sept 21 2019. Would return if in area based on that experience. Brightly lit, fast pumps, seemingly clean inside. Would recommend.”
