“I have been going this place for years and Mr. Choi is a good human being, honesty and great personality. I recommend everyone . I assure you that you will not be disappointed. Ali Barise”
“I have come here a few times before for routine maintenance at the recommendation of a friend. I work in Annandale and live in Manassas so I wanted to find a reliable shop closer to work. They have always been efficient and honest. And the cost for their services is incredibly reasonable. This evening, I left work and not even a mile down the road, my tire went completely flat. Fortunately, this shop was not far from where I was. I arrived around 5:30 and their service hours end at 5, but they were amazingly kind and took a look at the tire and found a HUGE nail in there. They got it patched up and I was back on the road within about 30 min. Thank you to the staff here for going above and beyond to help me during a stressful moment. I appreciate it so so much!”
“Quick, honest, and professional customer service. Good clear communications to get the jobs done (had window+brake light fixed) within 2 hours without appointment”
“This auto shop is fantastic. This is my go-to place for maintenance and repairs. Oil changes, tire replacements, VA inspection, everything to keep my 2009 Honda running safely. They’re always honest with me, no extra fees, no over selling things I don’t need. Yoon is a great mechanic, super knowledgeable and resourceful. His team is also skillful and fast. Thank you for always keeping my car on check.”
“Had rear brakes and rotors replaced, good work done, honest staff. I have been going here for years, would be nice if they offered Military Discount but they do offer coupons on their website, just need to print and show them before paying.”
“The guy at the front desk. He's always friendly, very helpful. Very respectful and professional in the gas prices are accessible. I wish they were a little bit cheaper. You know, we all live in a budget. But anyway, this is a great place to get gas. Thank you guy at front desk”
“This was a simple emissions test and they kept it so. They are always extremely polite. Yes, almost always a line of cars for fuel, but at their prices it makes total sense. Besides, seriously, what ia a couple more minutes to save a few dollars. At a minimum, give them a try for an oil change or fuel.”
“Probably one of the best places to get exxon gas for the price. I use exxon card and get six cents off per gallon. Come back in ten years to check my review and let me know; I'll be curious how much the money back amount has changed.”
“Had a horrendous loose heat shield that was making a massive rattling noise and had taken to my personal mechanic and still couldn’t figure it out. But then remembered this lovely location provides Auto Care as well! Already would come here to get my emissions & state inspections done but not auto work! But WOW. The hospitality shown and the work done was absolutely AMAZING!!! Got rid of that awful noise and also found out my rotors were due for emergency surfacing! Just want to give a massive thank you to all of them there but especially Andy & Jacob! They are the most welcoming & honest mechanics i have EVER encountered without a doubt. It’s hard to trust others with your car these days as most mechanics are mostly money hungry and usually destroy your car in hopes of you bringing it back BUT NOT HERE! Do not take your business elsewhere if you are in Northern Virginia!! They solved the issue in such a timely manner and let you see the work for yourself which is absolutely more than transparent! If you ever need Emissions, State Inspection or Auto work done, do not look anywhere else! There are the absolute best in business and will be going back ASAP to get my front left & right axel done once my parts arrive! Thank you guys so much for the honest work and I wish I could leave 100/5 stars as it still wouldn’t be enough!! My car is now running brand new as if I just purchased it straight off the lot!! Just tell them Enzo with the long hair that looks like their neighbor sent you ;) and they will take care of you as if you are family! Thank you to the entire team and making it possible today! You guys are awesome! GO TO THEM NOW!”
“Shout out to the Gallows Road Automotive (Exxon). We have lived in the adjacent neighborhood for over 4 decades. This gas station is recently under new ownership. I called ahead to see how long a wait would be for a simple 2-year VA emissions test. They said there was only one car in the inspection bay, so I quickly drove over. Surprisingly I was greeted as I arrived and they knew that I had called. I waited about 20 minutes while the car being inspected in the inspection bay was finished up. My car emissions test was efficiently executed, so I decided to try them out again and had them conduct the VA annual inspection on another one of our vehicles. The inspection was very thorough, but fair. There were five legitimate minor deficiencies (three bulbs, a wiper blade, & the battery hold-down clamp was missing). The certified VA State inspector (Owner/Brian Suarez) was especially thorough and articulate in describing the deficiencies and clearly annotated them on the inspection sheet. I was impressed. They are clearly very convenient for those of us who live nearby or work at the Inova Hospital. I suggest you try them out; they appear to be honest, helpful, highly proficient, and very convenient. Too bad their gas prices are usually more expensive than most, but they are a convenient lifesaver in a pinch. Update: Our 2009 T&C Minivan just crapped out this afternoon and because of our recent positive vibe we had it towed to GRA. It is probably the starter/solenoid. We'll provide an update as things evolve.”
“I rarely carry cash, but for 5 cents off, hey I'll dig deep and find some! I was on my way to the acupuncturist and this gas station was screaming at me with its cheap premium price of $2.44. No way! SOLD. I'm the type of person to gas up when my tank is way past empty. I admit. I hate stopping while its freezing outside. When are they going to change the law in VA to be like NJ where they serve you and pump your gas etc. It must be a gentleman state for us women that appreciate chivalry. Anyway, I had some trouble using my debit card and then I saw the sign for a discount when paying cash and voila, I got my gas for $2.39/gallon! Touchdown, score, yippee! I'll definitely be back if these prices are competitive with area stations.”
“Convenient gas station with easy access and friendly service. Fuel prices are reasonable, and the location is great for a quick stop while traveling through Annandale.”
“Needed gas after going to the Harris Teeter on Columbia Pike. Prices were unspeakable due to our current world situation. The area was well maintained and there appeared to be service workers doing inspections, oil changes, etc. There is some snack/drink options available inside, I didn’t go inside so I cannot comment on prices or selection availability. Rate the experience 10/10.”
“Hey there, I'm back again. I tend to visit here more in the summer because of the carwash & I really only can add that than they have a new carwash machine & are now open 24 hours.As always, if you buy a carwash your gas purchase will be discounted & they have vac machines for $2.”
“It got recently renovated and reopened - its well lit inside, they got your typical 7 eleven deals and a bunch of different merchandise as well. I like it, for a 7 eleven.”
“I love that they charge well below in gas prices and is my go to fuel up spot! Thank you for keeping low prices when so many of us are struggling! Have not found another gas station that can beat their prices.”
“I've been very pleased and impressed with this shop and service from all of its employees. I've brought my (mechanically difficult) GMC here many times for tire fixes, brakes, serious engine issues, and diagnostics. Their work on my car has always been excellent, and the cost fair, or better compared to other shops (even credited back). Besides professionalism and quality work, I've been pleased with their thorough communication and honesty. Thank you Fadi, Azhad, Juan, and everyone I missed.”
“Clean overall gas station with ok prices on gas, an assortment of snacks, and various tobacco products. The person working were real nice and got me everything i needed fast and i was in and out and back on the road”

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.
