“I like this place, but I would like it if the triple soap went on thicker so to speak. It just goes on as these little drops and it only stays on for a few seconds before the water comes to wash it away. Cheap wash that does it automatically, brushless. There is also a vacuum.”

“Foremost, Mike's are an honest, trustworthy bunch. The garage waiting room may be no-frills, there's no courtesy rental car, and it might be hard to find a parking spot ... but the work is always done right, and I've not once felt taken advantage of. That is far more important to me than the creature comforts. More than once, Mike's has talked me out of an expensive repair I thought I needed. My current car is still kicking and screaming even at 220K miles/13 years and I credit part of that to their maintenance work. I'm deducting one star only because sometimes it can be hard to get a hold of the desk to schedule an appointment and they often forget to call back when the job is done ... you have to call to check up at the end of the day. But they always deliver the car when promised, so it's not too big of a deal. I do wish they had online booking for appointments and text notifications that the work is done like I've had at other garages.”

“Cramped little convenience store, but they do have a bathroom, which is impressive for their size. Everything else about the location is okay. Traffic can be a bit hairy getting out.”

“I like this one.. i genuinely have a good experience when I go to this speedway. 9 times out of 10 the people are friendly.. they have fresh food way more often than most other speedways around do. They may not always have my 1 liter Pepsi, but overall, this is probably my favorite speedway. 😊”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees.

"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.
