“I’ve driven past Juanita Firs 76 hundreds of times. A while back had some car trouble and was told they were the best. ABSOLUTELY agree. Had a check engine light. They got me scheduled within a few days, I dropped it off for one day, diagnosed and fixed the problem same day. Just the other day my car battery died, they replaced it for me within an hour. Awesome. Found our new go-to mechanic. Honest and fair. FINALLY! THANK YOU!!”

“Great place to get gas after shopping at Costco. Unlike other Costco gas stations I like this layout because it's farther away from the store and doesn't have as much car and human traffic. I also don't have to wait as long as at other gas stations. It's also right off of I-405 so it's convenient. Now if only gas prices would come down. $4.99 at Costco means it's too expensive! Drive safe everyone.”

“Costco is Costco and it's great usually, but this location kind of freaks me out because the large refrigerated section never seems cold enough for the dairy and their own thermometers show that the temperature is too high. I'd love to bring an infrared thermometer sometime to double-check but it doesn't give me a lot of confidence that I would even need to do that.”

“I love this little gas station/ convenience store. I'm using my bbq grill a lot this summer, (to avoid heating my home when cooking), I ran out of propane grilling a pizza. Their propane exchange is a better value than a refill. (Also available in the main store). The attendant was courteous and happy to help. Always a great experience, and gas prices are affordable too, especially if you are rewards member. (Note... Grilling pizza on a bbq takes skill. Please look up how to do this depending upon your grill. I am a cook of 30+ years... safety first). Great store, great prices... Great staff!”

“I just cannot say enough good about this place. The gas prices are always very low. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. It has a real community vibe hands-down the best gas station I’ve ever visited.”

“Credit where credit is due. I posted a one star review, complaining about how slow the pumps were. They have definitely sped up the pumps. It’s not Costco fast but it is still way better.”

“I work near this place and get to interact with the Baristas consistently, they have some really good coffee that rivals Gourmet Espresso. Everyone is mostly full of life there including my fellow customers, whether it's a rainy day or a hot day this place serves up great service and drinks. I'm on the hunt for the best Cafe, bakery and coffee stands in WA state -- Kickstart Koffee definately has been on my top 10. Keep up the solid works peeps!”

“Had low tire pressure warning but no obvious issue during rush hour in the rain. Pulled into Costco tire right before closing and Matt helped us out by checking pressure and adding a little air, and even gave us a new cap! It took him less than 5 minutes to raise our PSI a few pts and lowered my BP (blood pressure) by a lot. Great service - thank you!”

“The reason this gas station just has pumps is because that's what pacific pride gas stations are just pumps. Pacific pride is for commercial vehicles not for a stop at the convenience store. So if you want thick hoses that pumps your commercial vehicle quickly full of gas and diesel then this is the place for you. But if your gonna get here and give it a one star review on google because it only has gas and diesel and not a store then probably don't come here and probably just don't write reviews anymore.”

“Special thanks to Mariechelle at the Kirkland Tire Center for going above and beyond with my Interstate battery warranty claim. She was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. 5 stars go directly to her for outstanding customer service. My overall experience is 4/5 because of the warranty process itself. Costco does not offer battery installation, so customers must remove and reinstall the battery themselves. For warranty claims, the battery must also be removed and brought into the warehouse for testing. In my case, the battery failed after only 4.5 months, and although it was covered under warranty, I still paid about $20 plus tax for the replacement. Mariechelle made an otherwise frustrating experience much smoother. Thank you!”

“This Arco station is on the smaller side with less pumps than some of the newer Arcos . Gas prices are competitive though. It is conveniently located near my commute route. The attendant is friendly and professional. The store is clean and it is well stocked. I like that they post when the hot food like the breakfast sandwiches and burgers were made and when they are no longer fresh. The cheeseburgers are actually quite filling. There is adequate non pump parking if you just want to grab something from the store.”

“This Mobil gas station has the best prices that I have found on the Eastside for non-Costco gas. Price difference is large enough that I go out of my way to fill up here. It is right on the business row of NE 85th Street in Kirkland and is close to I-405 and Downtown Kirkland. There are 8 gas pumps, has a car wash and a food mart. It is your standard gas station, except with lower gas prices, which is its appeal.”

“I was forced to find a new, local automated car wash that'd service my cars' special needs. I think the vintage outside payment kiosk is in desperate need of a fix/upgrade; the vacuum kiosk as well. I would have preferred the stations attendant to speak/understand English when asked questions regarding the car wash instructions. I really liked the bumped treadmill, tire pulling method of slowly and safely towing my vehicle through it's process. The instruction signs inside the machine are old and hard to see. If you've never been to this station, it's quit frustrating. The overall $11 wash was sufficient and thorough; even the spoked wheels were cleaned! I did notice residual product/wax smears on my car while chamois'ing afterwards. I think the final black curtain wiping phase of the machine is impregnated with other cars wash+wax selections and never gets rinsed out. Knowing all this ahead, I'll likely use this station again for its convenience, location and cost; at least until my Brown Bear opens back up.Service: Auto detailing”

“I've been running my (tweaked) turboed car almost exclusively on Arco 92 (or the highest available wherever I've been) for it's entire 210k life, plus previous cars well into the last century. Never had any issues with fuel quality which should be a pretty good record. (Yes, I know how gas is bought and delivered to most stations.) I began this habit long ago partially because they had the best prices, and that's usually the case still.These reviews aren't organized by specific locations - which is poor design imho - but the stations I visit regularly in the Pacifac NW are all well maintained, with pleasant, helpful, crew, whether basic stations or full house mini-mart and car wash sites.One recent note: my local station has all new pumps, and for some reason only post the Regular prices - cash and card, on their marquee. For a while during the upgrade process they only had Regular, but they're back to 3 grades, plus diesel, I haven't taken the time to ask about the price posting yet...”

“Great customer service and even met the owner today and he was very kind! The store is stocked up on your favorite snacks and drinks, who needs Safeway when they’ve got the Chevron in Juanita! I will definitely be coming here to get my snacks, gas and car cleaned!”

“I normally don’t leave reviews. But I must give it to the staff out there. Marcus and Grayson have been amazing. Always greeting me with a smile and going beyond customer service. Of course, there’s other employees there that I cannot remember their names who have also treated me with a lot of respect. And even today, Marcus was kind enough to help me find my parking batch and return it to me on my afternoon run to that store. I will continue to shop there just because of them.”

“One of the many Shell stations in Kirkland. This one is in downtown Kirkland across from Kirkland Urban and Peter Kirk Park. It is also close to I-405. It is not a gas station that I go out of my way to fill up at since I live in Bellevue. But I saw that their current gas prices were lower than the gas stations near my home, so I stopped by as I was in the area. T-Mobile usually offers a Shell discount on Tuesday through their T-Mobile Tuesdays program and coupled with the standard Shell Rewards discount, it makes the gas prices even better. Gas station itself is pretty typical and as expected. I would fill up again here if I was nearby and the gas prices were competitive.”

Read the postLove'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.
