“They are professional and polite people. The food inside is also good, and their gas prices are always really competitive. It is one of my hidden gem stations in my opinion. Highly recommend this one.”
“My young daughter and I go into the Gulf station convenience store every day, sometimes more than once. They take such good care of us and are so kind. I won’t go anywhere else!”
“I needed a tire plugged today (because putting air in your tire every other day for a week is a sure fire sign the low pressure is not from the temperature swings) and didnt want to put it off any longer. I called 4 places that were more conveniently on my way home from work and not one place answered their phone. I am honestly glad they didnt because I was told that it could happen today and that a technician should be available in 1-1.5 hours, which coincided with the end of my work day. I was promptly greeted and asked how I could be helped. Within a couple of minutes, my keys were in the hands of a tech and my car getting the attention it needed. I was there for less than an hour total, which was great considering I did not have an appointment. Kind, courteous and efficient service.”
“I tried them 1 time. I decided that they were for me and my wife. But them I unfortunately got sick. Doing much better and back to driving. Will be seeing them soon.”
“Took my car in for a check engine light, and they squeezed me in, no problem, diagnosed the problem and had it all fixed up a couple days later. Would recommend.”
“Always a good experience with the Galati Bros. Trustworthy, Friendly and Fair are just a few of their qualities in the Automotive Service expertise.... Great guys!”
“I had an emergency with my car - and was very fortunate to be around the corner from this great mechanic. I pulled up with the engine smoking, and was treated very compassionately and professionally right away. It took about a week to fix, but I feel like Chris went above and beyond to help explain things, gain my trust as a new customer, and fix the major issue going on with my oil leak. After being swindled in the past by multiple mechanics, I feel like I've finally found somewhere I can trust to actually care and address whatever automotive needs may come up with honesty. Thanks again to the whole team!”
“All the staff , especially Wendy and Rich are amazing! They were very friendly, prompt with returning calls, kept us up to speed with truck being dispatched and recommended a great company to do some repairs on our tank. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”
“Had a tire blow out in the Blue Route, and was assigned to Bowes by AAA to get it sorted out. Kathy had a new tire ready when AAA dropped us off, even though she didn’t have the type my BRZ uses and we arrived within 40 minutes of them being notified of my situation. Once the tow truck and I got there, they put the new tire on very quickly. Also Kathy is great !”
“Needed gas and it was the first gas station I found. Really great prices for the gas, lowest that I've seen around. Large, nice looking convenience store that looks large enough to have more than just the standard smaller place (bigger than 7-11). I didn't go inside, just stayed at the pump.”
“Thank you so much! My car died in the middle of the road out front of his shop. They didn’t hesitate to help me get the car into the driveway from the road. Got my car repaired and back up and running same day Work was professional and reasonable! Will be using them for future care repairs and maintenance!”
“Lots of pumps here. Cheapest gas in the area. I don't think I have had to wait for more than a few minutes to get my gas. Once I get my gas then if I want I go in and do some shopping easy peasy”
“Been meaning to get in here for awhile. Finally got a chance and was not disappointed.I got the crispy bbq chicken sammich with bacon and cheddar. Highly recommend.”
“Had a great time at Exxon this morning. Super quick turn around. Didn’t end up going in the store but could sense the were good vibes.Gas for the morningFilling up for spring break tripIn and out real quick”
“Good convenient place to get gas. The only issue is that there may be a lot of cars to be repaired in the parking lot so it makes it difficult at times to get to the pump. With all the cars getting repaired must mean that they are a competent fair place to get your car or truck repaired.”
“This gas station is always busy in the afternoon, but ever since the recent update, the wait time has gotten much better. The pumps are easy to use. The staff is friendly. Definitely one of the more reliable gas stations in the area!”
“Gas prices are good here for regular but not always worth going out ur way for the premium prices. The seasoned attendant that's been their for years I hav know words for so ignorant. As of some of the other staff I encounter here and their, very friendly.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jason and his Glemser Bros. Auto shop! As an out-of-town motorist whose engine unexpectedly blew up, I was stressed, stranded, and facing some very tough decisions. Jason went above and beyond in every possible way. From the start, he was incredibly honest and patient, taking the time to clearly explain my options—whether it made sense to repair the engine or walk away and purchase a different vehicle. He never pressured me, never rushed me, and most importantly, he gave genuinely excellent advice even when it meant he wouldn’t gain any business from the situation. That level of integrity is rare! Jason treated me like a person, not a paycheck. He listened, answered every question, and helped me think through a major financial decision with clarity and confidence during a really difficult moment. If you’re looking for a mechanic you can truly trust—someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical—Jason is the one. I can’t recommend Glemser Brothers Auto highly enough.”
“Mort's Auto Repair Shop is one of the most stand up places I've been to. Sam is great and always helpful. The prices are absolutely great and the work is always done right and the repairs hold up. Jose is a great mechanic!! Go to Mort's with your car. You won't regret it!!!”
“I had an amazing experience with Greene Street Auto! After my car was hit, I needed both my front and back bumpers repaired, and they did a perfect job. The work was flawless—you honestly can’t even tell there was ever any damage. They were professional, efficient, and kept me updated throughout the process, which made everything so much less stressful. It’s clear they really take pride in their work and care about their customers. If you need any auto body repairs, I highly recommend Greene Street Auto. They truly go above and beyond!”
“Had a great experience getting my car repaired here. The team was honest, professional, and explained everything clearly without any pressure. The work was done on time, the pricing was fair, and my car is running perfectly now. It’s hard to find a repair shop you can truly trust, and this one definitely earned it. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve been using Tookany for decades, and the family deserves all the kudos and praise. Honest, hardworking men, who take pride in making sure your car runs properly. Very grateful to have mechanics like them nearby.”
“Took my vehicle here for a recent inspection and they were very professional and had my car done less than an hour. Definitely recommend going here if your car needs any kind of service.”
“I go to buy cigarettes there. They give a very nice discount on Marlboro brands but only if you buy 2 packs. The people that work there are happy to see me and I can tell that they care about their customers.”
“I had a bad sensor that was preventing me from driving my Ford Escape 2015 and Mike's not only came brought my car to the shop but when the repairs were done my car was actually brought back to me. They do amazing work and the service is outstanding. I recently moved into the area from Florida and I'm so happy that I found another car service center who are friendly, knowledgeable, personal and professional. Thank you Mike's!K.

“As always excellent work! Got my 2013 Ford Explorer XLT driving like a brand new vehicle. Tracking straight as an arrow and no more vibrations. A++Services: Auto brake repair”
“Started bringing my cars there about a year ago. So far I'm very happy. Friendly, prompt, good work and fair prices. I recommend. Update. 9/3/25 Still using this shop. Great guys work here. I still recommend.”
“This is the nicest gas station in the area- the trash cans are never full and there are always towels readily available by the pumps. I go here for the top tier gas.”
“If you're a member of BJ's this place often has the best gas prices around. If you go first thing in the morning or late at night you're usually in and out but weekends are always busy.”
“Good local gas station. A short walk from many bus stations. Has just about all the things you might need on the fly and late night in a pinch. Air pump but no car wash. Snacks. Candy and soda. Chips and cookies. Crackers and cakes. Juice , milk, peanuts. Water to motor oil. Wiper fluid. Check. Has an atm outside the indoor space. Cigarettes and wraps. Papers. Toilet paper. Gas can be a little higher than some other spots near by but I would say worth it time to time. Staff general ok. 24 hours gas station. So even at 3am it's good to go.”

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.

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.
