“Convenient, but gas prices seem to fluctuate too much depending on time of day / traffic flow. Always very expensive in the morning. Unfortunate for the early morning commuter.”

“Don is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever dealt with. He always takes the time to listen when I’m trying to explain what’s going on with my vehicle, never makes me feel silly, and genuinely wants to help find the best solution. He’s honest, knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are taken care of. It’s so hard to find someone you can trust with your vehicle, and Don has earned that trust completely. I always leave feeling confident that my car is in great hands. If you’re looking for a mechanic who truly cares about his customers, I can’t recommend Don enough!”

“For some reason it declined when I used tap and I had to insert my card, but the rest of the gas pumping experience went swimmingly. Do not enter the gas station from the right side of the store however, the traffic there is usually really busy and it’s hard to get in from that way”

“If you need premium fuel for your engine it can save to buy Costco gas. I've seen a 20 cent per litre difference vs. name brand especially during volatile world events. The fuel is rated Top Tier so it's not bottom of the barrel blend. I usually buy Costco gas later in the evening to avoid line ups and sometimes the price drops a bit more after 8pm.”

“I can’t say enough about the incredible service I received at this Canadian Tire location. I was in a stressful situation and the gentleman at the Tire service counter went above and beyond to help me. He personally helped bring the Tire to the couch, made me feel completely comfortable, and reassured me that he understood my situation without any judgment. On top of that, he was funny, warm, and generally kind-the kind of person who turns a stressful errand into something comforting. His professionalism and humanity completely blew me away. Thank you for making a difficult day is so much easier and for treating me with dignity and respect. I’ll absolutely be recommending this location to everyone I know.”

“Pretty good stop. Car wash. Propane exchange. Ice. Sports drinks and small snacks inside. They were restocking when I went in and boxes were strewn all over the floor in the main area. There is a washroom for customers only which is quite boldly posted. Wiper fluid that they sell isn’t the top brand but it works. Window brush containers were full. Property is a bit dated and dirty but otherwise a great spot to get gas or other things.”

“I find the prices here always pretty competitive. More expensive than the ones on Merivale close to Costco, but less expensive than the Esso down the road. The workers inside are difficult to understand. Took away a star for that”
2201 Greenbank Rd, Nepean ON K2J 4Y6
“Busy location with friendly and efficient staff, clean & well-stocked store. These poor employees have to deal with a lot of verbal abuse on a daily basis—the same types leaving these negative reviews. Let me give you a hint: if you’re trying to purchase cigarettes, HAVE YOUR ID ON YOU. If you’re purchasing gas, HAVE A VALID PAYMENT METHOD ON YOU. If you want a carwash, don’t come at closing time and get angry that you weren’t the only one with the same idea. It’s not rocket science, people.”

Read the postLove'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.
