“I recently had my headlight lens restored here and it looked like it was new. I had it done at multiple establishments in the past and none of them even came close to the job that Darien Car Clinic did.”
“Went to get a simple car wash from the drive thru car wash to find that it’s been taken over by new owners and is a hand car wash! $25 for exterior (no tip on card). I told the guy I parked under a tree at work and got some weird sap-like substance all over my car and when washing my car he made sure that it was coming off with his power hose and car wash shampoo! Really great service, amazing clean, and you can stay in your car while they wash! Will definitely come back as long as the current people run it.”
“Highly recommended. I had my car repaired here through my insurance and they went over and beyond of repairing not only the damaged parts covered by insurance but also another area of the car too (for the same price as my deductible).”
“Carlos was super helpful. He was about to go home, but stayed late to help me with an emergency brake repair. He ran out to get the parts himself instead of waiting for a delivery. Then he quickly replaced my rotor and brake pad so that I could safely drive home. He recommended ways for me to save money--this is a sign of an honest mechanic. I was able to buy what I needed to stay safe. Show me another mechanic who will work until nearly 8 pm on a Friday night--you can't! I was very lucky to get the last-minute help.”
“I’ve been coming here for the past three years, and they are truly among the best in the business. They consistently do excellent work, never overquote or try to upsell unnecessary repairs, and always respect your time by finishing the job within the promised timeframe. Their honesty and professionalism are hard to find these days. I’ve recommended D’Agostino Brothers to many of my friends, and I’ll continue to do so.”
“This location is convenient and clean. My preference is paying at the pump. I would recommend this location to fill up the tank, prices are comparable for the area.”
“(Translated by Google) Here you can fill gasoline. And you can also Acer emission your car only takes a few minutes. They have a certificate(Original)Aki puedes cargar gasolina .y también puedes Acer emisión tu carro solo toma unos minutos. Cuentan con certificado”
“Great here, the employees are so kind and soooo helpful, the most helpful in a young man named Shiva, he is so kind and so helpful. The place is soooo clean. If you don’t come here WHAT are you doing!”
“This reststop is so epic. Chipotle, Dunkin, Panera, Cinnabun, Mcdonalds, and more. Bathrooms are decently clean. Plenty of space to sit and eat or relax. Big gas station. Overall great place to stop. I always stop here when im driving north.”
“I’ve been to many a gas station. I’ve been to many a highway rest stop. Nothing has topped this. The bathroom was extremely clean and well-maintained, the AC was peak on a hot day. The staff member at the counter, Peter, was delightful and I hope he has a wonderful day every day. Good stock, too! VERY cute window art. Little ducks and ponds and flowers and such. I love this gas station.”
“As travelers through the area we were very pleasantly surprised how amazing this gas station was.The coffee was very good and the restroom was the cleanest gas station restroom our family had ever been in.”
“Was thrilled to have another gas station in the area as there was always a line. I always go here now instead of the other one down the street. Had too mush ptsd from that "shell" of a store. Going to get propane now. Great place. Keep it up! Thank you!”
“hands down one of the best gas stations ive been too in a while. great location. public bathroom. great service. friendly. highly recommend. the manger abdul is a cutie. ?”
“Good auto center for repairs or tires everyone's always really nice and helping out whenever I stop by coffee's on and is usually hot and fresh It's got a small town neighborhood feel where everyone's always welcome Can't ask for more than that”
“Excellent service all around. Very reliable. Pleasant to work with. Got the job done while making it easy. Naturally AAA is predictably bullet proof. Feel silly I called Volvo Roadside first. They assigned a tow to me who after one text went crickets, as in no show. Kind of a bummer when you believe they are going to show and simply don't. Not Armonk garage. They were parking as I arrived. In no time car was secured on flatbed and off! Your driver was great and I will remember AAA and Armonk Garage in the future as needs arise!”
“All rest stops should be this way. Right off the interstate. Gas, food and restrooms. I don't why more states don't adopt this concept. It makes traveling so much more convienent”
“I had a flat tire and was at risk of missing an important appointment. I stopped at this station, and despite the fact they looked quite busy, they were able to look at my car after 10 minutes, identify the issue, and patch my tire. They were also super friendly the entire time. Given my experience, I highly recommend you consider them if you need any work done on your vehicle!”
“Nicest people in the world! My Honda Accord started acting very weird on the Parkway. Rapid search for closest garage. Managed to limp into Round Hill. John and his fellow master mechanics spent a good amount of time troubleshooting and found a "very unusual" blown fuse, which they replaced and then road tested. All seemed fine and they sent us on our way... and way more than fair.”
“Brought my car in for a tune up and it was ready quickly. A couple months later had something happen with my car, so I called and he gave me great advice that was very helpful. Thank you!”
“Cashier is a saint. I'm a delivery driver, area had no internet. He let me use the Wi-Fi. Right as I was about to leave, some Amazon delivery driver who only speaks Spanish crashed her vehicle, and he went out to help.”
“I helped bind insurance coverage for Dave’s repair shop in the mid 90s when he first started Rte 117 Auto Service Center. 30 years later, I came in to have my car’s emissions inspection. While it was only an inspection, I was met with the same courteous and competent manner. Thank you Dave and AJ. Keep on truckin’! Alan Eifert”
“I went to have a CARSO inspection for my newly purchased CPO car. I won’t get into the waste of time that it is for a CPO car- that’s a silky insurance issue. BUT I will talk about the friendly and efficient service at BSC. I called this morning when I learned I needed this inspection (turns out I was overdue) and they got me in within 45 minutes. Everyone was super friendly and very efficient. The process took 20 minutes and they emailed the results to my insurance company. The place was clean and the minimart, although small had a good selection of sundries. From what I saw it seems they have Full service.”
“This is a family run business and it shows with the pride and care that they give their customers. I tried 5 other auto repair shops before I found A&K from the recommendation of a friend. I am glad I did! I've been going here with my car, the husbands, my kid's cars, etc for over 5 years now. Fair pricing and excellent work. I will go nowhere else!”
“Another gem in Connecticut that most people don't realize is there and is really nice with a wide arrange of stores! I was actually impressed with how nice it was for a pit stop! The kids really enjoyed it and we stayed much longer than I anticipated.”
“Came here for my boss and a coworker. Was not disappointed. They had everything! The store was very clean and organized and honestly for everything I got that day, I didn't spend a lot. Overall a pleasant experience. Will surely be returning!”
“Gene is the wizard of motors. Keeps our mowers, blowers, weed eaters, snowblower and generator serviced and at the ready. Wouldn't go anywhere else but here.”
“My old Toyota Land Cruiser was running very very rough. I called around town (and some Norwalk shops) and nobody would look at it for 2 weeks, Some wouldn’t take it at all, and others wanted $250 diagnostic charge. Not so at New Canaan Gulf. Matt B, the mechanic now running the business, agreed to take it right away. He diagnosed the problem(s) quickly, solved my problems in 2 hours, and I had my car back by afternoon for a fair price. He rebuilt the 50!year old carb, tightened the belt, replaced the spark plugs which were foiled from running too rich. Highly recommend this shop. I’ve read the other reviews and none of the complaints relate to current ownership, fair pricing, or ability to solve the problem. I think negative reviews from people who want free roadside assistance, or who are unhappy with Advanced Auto Parts quality should be deleted. Thank you, Matt. You’re a credit to New Canaan”
“Amazing service , they recently just opened up and they have been the best, they cell everything from cigarettes, coffee, essential needs, drinks etc. Great place you should consider coming here!”

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps.

Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus.

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.
