“On our way to the beach from Sanford, my check engine light came on in my jeep. I saw this shop and stopped in to see if they could check it out. They immediately hooked up the diagnostic and let me know it wasn't anything to worry about. Reset it and was on my way. They could've charged me an arm and a leg like a dealership would've but didn't. We gave them some cash anyway. Definitely appreciate their help!!”

“This IS the station I stop in town to purchase gas. I usually don't go in but when I have it has been clean and usually quick.The store carries the staples for snack food and drinks as well as candy and supplies you didn't know you needed.There has only been a line once, and the cashiers were quick and helpful.”

“Love this place! It's a good stop to the outer banks. Order your food from the kiosk, pay for your food at the register then pick up your food when your number is called. Simple system. Expect 5-10 min wait time during busy summer months. We've never waited more than 10 min and that was with 8 people ahead of us. Get your supplies and water here if you're new to the area and heading to the coast because the Alligator Bridge and surrounding area may stop traffic due to the drawbridge, construction or traffic delays. And those stops can be LENGTHY!”
