“I always get my gas at Sam's because it's super convenient. You just scan the QR code and pump your gas. No need to pull out any cards, it charges whatever card you have on file and emails a receipt. Their prices are lower than Costco and BJs , highly recommend!”
“Stopped by on a Saturday around 9am to see if they had time to do a motorcycle inspection seeing my inspection was due, they told me to pull right up, they took time out of what they were doing to help me out. Good guys Derek and Craig, will be a returning customer”
“He is very good, very reliable, flexible, responsive, good price. So why I replaced him? Just because Petro supply me not only with oil, but also with propane and boiler service, so I only need to deal with one supplier rather than 3. Otherwise I would stay with him forever. Very recomended”
“I couldn't be happier with the service I received at this auto shop. From start to finish, the team was professional, honest, and incredibly skilled. They did an excellent job on my car — it runs better than ever! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing things right. It's rare to find people who take such pride in their work, and it really shows here. If you're looking for a trustworthy, top-quality auto shop with the best people in the business, look no further. Highly recommended!”
“Best gas station experience ever! Gas is gas but I only use Mobil (which I find to be the least expensive). But, this Joe’s mart is great….good coffee, fancy machines for creamer/sugar/special coffee. Most especially, the nicest, kindest clerk with a fantastic smile, smiling eyes and great personality.”
“I dont want to write this review because its already getting very popular and busy. The best prices in town, no doubt. Same price cash or credit. Clean, and surprisingly easy to get in and out, considering the location. Thank you, owner of Conoco Hallock Ave. Your one of the best if not the best.”
“Excellent service! Had a crank sensor replaced almost a year ago and part failed again ( not their fault) they replaced it in 2 hours after dropping off fully covered under warranty.”
“Experience professional knowledgeable car care when you bring your vehicle here. Steve is an master mechanic who can restore it to perfection My LX 470 purrs like new at 20 years old. Forgot bringing it to the dealer.”
“I like the fact that he charges the same price for cash and credit, something increasingly rare. Also, I don't like to use no-name brands in my car, so I like the idea of this being a well-respected brand.”
“Searched out this place for ethanol free fuel for my snowblower. Having read on multiple snowblower forums, it's the fuel of choice. Arrived on a Saturday afternoon, the day before the big storm was to hit Long island, and the amount of people standing and waiting with their gas cans for this was insane. I asked the pump clerk is this a normal occurence and he said pretty much. Overall a cozy gas station, friendly staff and one of the only places on the north shore of Long Island that offers ethanol free fuel.”
“We spent the day exploring the sites on the north shore of Long Island. On the way home, we stopped at this BP station/DD to get coffee and water. Good coffee and pleasant service.”
“Great place to use your gas points. It's an actual stop and shop gas station and their prices are very competitive even without using points. Last two times there I paid 0.599 and 0.899. If my tank is not very near empty I bring gas cans. Limit now is 20gals.”
“New local father & son business. Very fast, decent prices, and good work! Mechanic is very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone in the Saint James area who needs quick and reliable work as it’s not usually busy. I believe this place is under new management so all older reviews are likely outdated and unrelated. I decided to try this place out for the first time as I live within walking distance. I have an older car (‘98 Mitsubishi Eclipse) and was having problems with a check engine light throwing a misfire code. I dropped it off at K D S on a Thursday around 4pm, and by 6pm I had gotten a call back regarding my car. The mechanic diagnosed my car completely free of charge and informed me the misfire was coming from a leak in my exhaust and not from the engine itself. We arranged to have him fix the problem the following day. He told me it would be $250 for the fix, and offered to include a tune up package (spark plugs, filters, etc.) for another $150 as well as an oil change for $75. While the oil change was a bit expensive the rest of the prices were reasonable enough for me. The next day I dropped my car off around noon. K D S closes at 7:00pm, but I wasn’t going to be back until 7:30. I informed the mechanic and he agreed to leave the key for me so I could grab the car after they closed. When I got there at 7:30, he was there still working on my car, and said he needed another 30 min. I came back once it was done, and he did not charge me anything more than the price we discussed even though it kept him there late. Have had no problems with the work he did and the car runs great. 10/10, would recommend.”
“I have been taking my car here for 6 years now. Brian Thomas and Little Brian are great at what they do and I've always been Fair with their prices. I have seen different makes and models of cars in The Bays doing various jobs. Pennies has always been trustworthy and reliable with my vehicles I highly recommend”
“This gas station has everything you will need late at night. Cereal gallons of milk even soups. Open till around 12:30. Their prices are above-average but what do you expect a small business to do trying to survive in Suffolk county New York. They are privately owned small business, so stop by and give them your business. The guys that work there are very nice.”
“I stopped in one day because my tired pressure was very low. They helped me fill it with air and offered to check it out for me. No was pressed for time. I offered them money for their help but they refused. Two days later, I stopped in again because my pressure was low again. It was clear they were busy, but they checked out my tire and plugged a nail hole. I was so thankful. I didn't have any cash on me and they said I could bring it to them later. I COMPLETELY FORGOT! When I finally remembered, they were so gracious. I felt terrible and they were telling me not to worry.”
“Open 24 hours now. New updated gas pumps. Under new management. Great Customer Service. Lowest gas prices in town for diesel, gas, and E-85. Easy Enter and Exit for TRUCKS and BUSES. Nice big store with lotto, soda, beer, cigarette, coffee, and ice cream. Highly recommend. Friendly staff. A+”
“Filled up and dropped some bills on the ground. The cashier came out and returned my money. I did not thank him enough. People surprise you and there is good out there.”
“One of the lower prices always if you prefer shell gas. Plus with their fuel rewards program everyday is 5 to 10 cents off depending on your gold or platinum status which is filling up 12 times for 19 gallons each fill in a 3 month period earns you platinum status 10 off each day. Many other discounts promotions and ways to earn off money per gallon. Highly recommend”
“Always clean. I would have given 5 stars, but the pumps don't always give a receipt and then I have to go inside and stand on line to get it. Just a minor inconvenience. The staff is really nice, though. If they see me waiting, they ask which pump I used, and get the receipt for me.”
“I have been coming to this Mobil location almost every single day because it is one of the closest gas stations right on my route. Over the years, I have probably stopped here hundreds of times, and I can honestly say I have never had a single issue. That level of consistency is rare. The pumps are reliable, the area is clean, and everything works the way it should. It is simple, efficient, and dependable, which is exactly what you want from a 24/7 gas station. The convenience store inside is also very well stocked. They have plenty of cold drinks, milk, snacks, coffee machines, sandwiches, and everyday grab and go items. They also have New York Lotto and a self serve machine, which makes it very convenient. It is easy to fuel up and quickly grab what you need in one stop. The staff and management are always friendly, polite, and helpful. Every interaction has been smooth and professional. If you are looking for a consistent, well run, and convenient gas station in the area, this is a solid choice. Five stars from me without hesitation.”
“I’ve been going here for my gas for 6 years now. I love its location, unlike no other. It’s next to my gym, it’s got the most pre workout drink selection from what I see. Shell gas is the best too I’ve heard. Great place to stop for gas, and many more!”
“Good gas station. Pretty good in and out access if you're on that side of 347. Very clean relatively decent prices. And most importantly the dude behind the register was actually friendly. That's a rare find on Long Island”
“Wow, what a wonderful experience. Grabbed a Mountain Dew and had a wonderful conversation with the tall Turkish man with blue eyes. I cant remember if his name was Goku or Gorkem. 10/10!”
“Jimmy is the hardest working man I know, good honest prices & never forgets to ask how your days going always want to make your day a little better. If your in the area I recommend stopping in for all of your gas & convenience store needs!!”
“JUST JOINED Speedway's rewards program. 7 cents off of every gallon of gas you buy. Can't go wrong. It's money in YOUR bank! And to the point of any 'bad' customer service reviews, I'm sure that kind of incident happened to you just once here. You've made your point, now maybe u can 'Let it Go.' The VERY pleasant experiences you'll have here will outweigh the very poor ones. By far. Give it another shot.”
“A super convenient spot as its just off exit 61. The place itself is small but it does have the necessities for most people needs. The person in the front was nice even with the fact that I tend to come up very early in the morning.”

Love'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. "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.
