“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.”
“The kindness of a stranger, a mechanic from this shop, truly saved my life. A man wearing a Metro Motors shirt flagged me down in a nearby parking lot immediately after I heard the grinding noise of one of my brake pads & rotors being spent. He was kind, respectful, informed and offered all the help he could on a Saturday afternoon when many shops were closed and I was in the middle of a road trip. Because of him, I was able to get my car fixed immediately and continue my trip. I truly believe God sent this man to help me in my time of need. Thank you.”
“Long overdue review. This is the shop I recommend to family and friends. Sandy and Paul are honest, professional, and affordable. I am a car guy and would not trust anyone else to work on my or my family's car.”
“Walked into the office to ask for an oil change and tire rotation and Ricky provided lots of useful information regarding oil changes and tire rotations as well as the frequency of those. He then went on to discuss some additional automotive stuff that broadened my perspective.”
“Normally the lowest prices around, the wait is ok but can be long. early in the morning is the best time. So far I have not experienced a jerk who cuts the line or creates chaos. There have been several people who had no idea how to pump the gas though, which is amazing and scary at the same time.”
“I don't want they need to come to eat this restaurant come it's very nice food. I'm very nice service and the people who's walking it very good people.”
“I have been going to this Shell station for several years and I am impressed with the kind and friendly manager and staff. The store and pump areas are always clean and well maintained. It's nice to be greeted by friendly people!”
“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!”
“Used the mobile app for gas. Quick and easy once set up. Shortens time for a refill due to not having to waste time getting reciepts or having to grab your card, putting it away, or waiting for the machine to read it.”
“It's not too far from our house and we live in Springfield and so if you pay by debit cash you can get the gasoline for your car I have slightly discounted rate. It was in a problem everyone would stand in line and take their time and you do it and knowing that it was a discounted gas station it was easy for people just to sort of manage how their time was there and everyone had to exit a certain way. And I always assume that everyone there was cooperative and you know no one stuck out saying I'm gonna go first or anything like that. So for the cheaper price paying cash it was a very convenient place for us to go it's like a 50 minute drive for me and my husband took from Springfield through Lorton through Lorton, over the water Occoquan river and then it's like two or three streets up on the laughter old bridge but you can actually enter the gas station before you get to the light. It was very convenient for us for a very long time when Gas was so expensive and they're very accommodating with their traffic it's a difficult location but they managed it pretty well they do manage it very well actually. The only one thing is that there's a place that they compete with in Burke Virginia in the shopping center on Lee Chapel or Burke Lake Road and Old Keene Mill Road at the intersection I don't know the name of it offhand it's right next to the McDonald's. But try not to pull in from the front and try to take that turn right at the lake and then come in from the side where the wash machine is for the cars to go through. Especially if your tank is on the driver side. Just makes things more convenient and I found that the handicap lines the ones that are closest to the actual building of the gas station those lines seem to move faster. These are our experiences that each should be stationed and hopefully when gasoline becomes cheaper again we might be able to go back to Old Bridge gas station on the corner because it's much more convenient than going to the one off Lee Chapel and Old Keene Mill Road in the Safeway shopping center. Everyone is always happy and cheerful and kind and it's so quick in and out sometimes there's a little bit of a weight but not huge for the lower cost of gasoline I think it's fine. gives you a good time to breathe and figure out where you need to be going next and give you time to set your map up in your car if you're so lucky to have one. But yeah I am totally committed to both of those gas stations and I have been for decades so especially the one near Safeway. The one near Safeway is a little bit of benefit because McDonald's is right out Next Door and it's so easy to pop in for a McFlurry after you pump your gas. It's quite a joyful experience I have to say it's worth it because I fed my car and then I get to feed myself something sweet. I hope you have the same experience they're really kind people you know and it's very rare that any pumps are out of order either the two places that I mentioned so but also specifically fast fuels I mean it just want a quick turnaround time they don't even have like the water to wipe your windows off with cause I just want you in and out cause I know the gasoline quality is good it's fine for cars even hiring cars we have and just want to make your experience smooth and easy and fast fast fast. And living in this area that is exactly the attitude because everything here is a go go go all the time right so I think that's probably why. It's kind of considerate I think.”
“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!”
“Finding a truly trustworthy mechanic isn’t easy, but when you find an establishment you can rely on, you just know it. That’s exactly how I feel about this BP station and auto repair shop. The main reason I continue to bring my car here is Salman. He is exceptionally kind, honest, and operates with complete integrity. It makes all the difference knowing my vehicle is in good hands with someone who truly cares about doing the right thing for his customers. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“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 ❤️”
“The morning cashier, Eduardo, is such a nice man. He always has a smile on his face and is super friendly. The gas station is always clean and looks nice. I gave 4 stars due to their gas prices always being so much higher than other gas stations.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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✅”
“Excellent location for gas, coffee, soda, energy drinks, cappuccino. Free clean restroom, noodles, chocolate and lottery. Very friendly and helpful employees. If you can't find what you need here 7/11 is right across the street.”
“Formerly Fast Fuels now changed over to Citgo. So far prices have remained the most reasonable here in Woodbridge, VA. I usually drive out of my way to save a few dollars. Plenty of pumps. Usually can get in and out when HUMAN BEINGS act like they have good sense pulling up to the pumps.”
“On May 10, my father’s oil light came on at this location at time of opening. The manager Ricky squeezed him in immediately and when his tech discovered that my Dad was out of oil, he topped me up and refused to take payment. He also diagnosed the problem and provided him with a printout to take to the dealership. He was out of there within 20 minutes and is forever indebted to Ricky and his team. They are true professionals and may Dad highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you Ricky and team!”
“I used to deal with Leonard Splaine, but found them to be way too expensive! I used Quarles last year and was very impressed with the exceptional customer service, quick delivery and I even get a discount for my husband being a senior. They try their best to honor even the worst procrastinators request! :) VERY pleased with them, highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Nice Gas station. If you bundil car wash, you will get a discounted gas price. Catch is you have to pay cash to get that discount. You can also buy live bait from here.”
“I prepaid for my gas with cash but calculated incorrectly how much it would take to fill my tank. I only used $37 of the $45 I paid. I honestly wasn’t stressed about getting the difference back but did want to notify the attendant of it. He didn’t hesitate to give me $10 back where in the past it can be an issue to resolve or time consuming. I really appreciated that plus they had great quality gas. Thank you ??”
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”

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.
