“We were on our way from vacation in TN home to NJ when our car's alternator stopped working at Love's Travel Stop. It was a late Friday afternoon and we really didn't know what to do. We spoke with a young man named Dalton who worked there and he went above and beyond to try to help us. We thought we were going to be stuck there for the weekend due to all the local auto shops closing for the weekend. Dalton really tried to help us find someone to fix our car and we finally did find someone. We are very grateful to him for caring enough to help us out! All the employees there were very kind and were impressed with how clean and nice the place was. Thank you Dalton and staff!”
