“Very helpful and honest. I had a flat and took it to the dealership in laredo, they came up with several excuses of why they couldn't fix my tire and that I needed to buy a new one. I decided to continue traveling like that but between laredo and hebronville I had to stop three times to inflate the tire with the little compressor I had. So I decided to stop at this tire shop and the guy in the shop just said, " it has a nail, I"ll fix it in no time." And he did. 10 minutes it's all it took him and he only charged me $10. 2hrs laters I was back home in the valley.”

“We pulled in to fuel up, only to find we had a blown out trailer tire. A couple of locals came to our rescue. One suggested a place to get a new tire just up the road. Good people. We got on our way after having some lunch.”

“Clean store, clean bathroom, very friendly store clerks, well stocked. It has hot made to order food inside, but I didn't try it. Plenty of pumps for gas. My only complaint was the window washing squigies. The water was nearly empty, if not completely empty for all of them. Then when you are able to get the sponge part wet. The water stinks terrible. So your cleaning your window with extremely stinky water.”
