“I was traveling from out of state after a wedding performance when I struck an object on I-95 that punctured my oil pan. My car lost oil rapidly, and I was fortunate enough to make it safely to a nearby gas station. Roger's shop happened to be just around the corner, and from the moment I arrived, they treated me with professionalism and compassion. They inspected the damage, explained everything clearly, answered my questions, and got to work as quickly as possible. Car trouble is never fun,especially when you're hundreds of miles from home, but they helped make a very difficult situation much more manageable. I'm grateful for their honesty, communication, and willingness to help someone who was stranded far from home. If you're in the Woodbridge/Occoquan area and need automotive repairs, I would absolutely recommend Roger and his team. Thank you again for taking care of me and helping me get back on the road.”
“I always come here for my VA state inspection and have had consistently good experiences. I arrived around 4:25 PM (they stop inspections at 5), and even with one car ahead of me, the wait was very reasonable...about 10 minutes. Once they got to my truck, the inspection only took around 15 minutes. They offer seating both inside and outside, which makes the wait more comfortable. Quick, efficient, and convenient service. I’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“Nice place, always use their bathrooms. I boycott McDonalds because during COVID in an emergency, they refused to let me use the bathroom. I mentioned this to an employee at Sheetz during COVID, and the response was, just come here, you're always welcome.”
“I love how super helpful and friendly the staff is here. I go here at least if not twice a month. It's wonderful how not only do they have fuel for the car, but treats for my fur babies and treats for me!”
“A lot of establishments and people seem to have lost their sparkle after covid but the crew that was working around 1pm on July 9th reminded me that some people have kept their joy and their warmth and their kindness. I needed that reminder ❤️”
“Whoever was behind the grill great customer service and great preparation of the food ✅ The clerk that was working to register show patience and great customer service as well! I'm from Orlando, Florida just visiting in town. I'm used to Wawa, but Sheetz has something different✅”
“I stopped in here on a road trip. I didn’t get gas. I filled up at a different station but both of their bathrooms were out of order. That causes me to stop here. Yes, the bathrooms were clean as stated on their wall. Although I didn’t purchase gas, I spent my money on snacks and drinks.”
“Great friendly people at the counter. They even make fresh sandwiches. Nice place to pick up last minute wine. The laundry is inexpensive and the results are great!”
“This restaurant is a wonderful choice for a flavorful and satisfying meal. The food was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the overall experience was fantastic.”
“I am writing to commend your Pharmacist for her exceptional dedication and professionalism. Her commitment to ensuring that each patient and customer receives meticulous care is truly praiseworthy. She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty, ensuring that every individual's needs are met with the utmost care and consideration. Her affable nature and genuine compassion make her an invaluable asset to CVS.”
“The best 7/11 I visit every morning for my coffee.Nice,organized and clean store with all the good people.Specially Rafi is the best Buddy I have ever seen.Love you guys.God bless”
“I'm coming to this Shell more often now because of their automatic-touchless-carwash!! 🙌🏼 I agree with the comment below to just buy it with gas to make things easier.”
“My local Walgreens (Store # 11299) on the corner of Smoketown Road in Lake Ridge, Virginia, is arguably the BEST branch in the whole of the Commonwealth, if not the Unite States. They are truly the most thoughtful, caring and attentive staff -- both in front-of-house customer service all the way through the entire pharmacy staff technicians and assigned pharmacists. They care about their customers and what we need and ensure whatever the matter may be that it is addressed promptly, handled with care, and, should it be necessary, remedied with expedience. In a time where healthcare is still not a universal given nor a prioritized right, the staff, and especially the pharmacy, at Walgreens Store # 11299 consistently put the patient FIRST, and not just because they care (which they absolutely do), but because it is the right thing to do. I could not be happier with my local Walgreens on Smoketown Road and will without question continue to frequent that neighborly convenience store as my primary location for all household and drug store needs for me and my entire family. Thank you, Walgreens! -- Jason W.”
“This morning I stopped by store, when I reached register I was greeted with sincerity by the young man Nehemiah (not sure on spelling) he not only was very professional, but noticed my face and naturally while ringing up said positive words , reminded me even though its a rainy day its a beautiful one. You never know what another person is going through and just by his customer service , which I don't see often and as a manager who deals with customer service he really stood out and did a spectacular job! Also as busy as the store stays, its well lit, clean and organized, and I've never had issues. The food is good also!”
“We are regulars at Sheetz, 1-2x a week. We only go here! We love EVERYONE that works here! They are always so kind! Big shout out to the crew because we walk in and they already have our item pulled from the shelf and ready at the counter. Could we go to one of the other 2 locations by work? Yes but we always wait and stop here because of the customer service! Thank you for always taking the time to make it a little more personal each time we visit. Also thank you for always saying hi to our 7year old, even he looks forward to our Sheetz runs!”
“Jordan's amazing! He's always super cheerful and welcoming. I was regular at the store but we quickly became friends! I hope sheetz acknowledges his efforts ?”
“I stop in here nearly every day on my way to work for coffee and occasionally get a snack and maybe some gas in the car at the same time. They are typically always really busy, but still greet each customer with a smile and offer nice service. Absolutely love their coffee and typically can’t go a day without it.”
“My go-to spot! The coffee is always fresh and hot, and the staff is incredibly fast and friendly. The store is consistently clean and well-stocked with everything I need to start my day.”
“Dr. Z in the pharmacy was dedicated to making sure my prescription became renewed. A pleasure to deal with on a professional and personal level. If I managed Walgreens I would give two people a raise — Dr. Z and the one who hired him.”
“Kharl is a great guy. I randomly came in the get some beers and for some reason Kharl just was being a cool guy as I was paying for my beers. Would recommend to get your late night runs here if you need to deal with some chill cashiers.”
“I dont know the worker's name although he is so friendly and kind to me and my individuals I care for when we go in to warm our lunch in the microwave. All of the workers stay busy but are friendly. This is one of the few 711 in Woodbridge I recommend to visit. They have a public restroom as well. It could use a better cleaning is the only flaw.”
“Please hire more people like Yasmin and Miriam... they make a icky situation seen wonderful. Had a bad experience in the parking lot. However you might want to replace Janine . She was impersonal didn't even look up when she came to the register to say hello to me or any other customer in line. That's why I didn't give five stars”
“Exceptional service and convenience define my experience at Shell Gas Station. From the moment I pulled in, the staff greeted me warmly and efficiently assisted with my fueling needs. The station itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering a wide array of snacks and beverages for a quick refuel on the go. The fuel pumps were modern and easy to use, ensuring a hassle-free experience. With competitive prices and a commitment to customer satisfaction, Shell Gas Station has earned my loyalty as the go-to stop for all my refueling needs. Five stars without hesitation!”
“I read all the negative reviews and didn't know what to expect. However, when I arrived there was a single pharmacist covering the drive through, the counter, and the phone. She did a phenomenal job and her customer service and attitude were superb! I was truly impressed and thankful to get my meds after 10:000 PM!”
“Wegmans is my favorite store. This store is a stand along against any other grocery store. But fun fact... they have one of the best flower departments. Every date, I only get my flowers wrapped with love from them. The staff is always helpful and courteous. I went for flowers only today and they were simply gorgeous.”
