- ASAlex Sultanaev5 days ago5.0Great service, super friendly manager!
- IMIhor MelnykovFeb 21, 20265.0Thank you for fast fixed shower problem!
- ACAnibal CanalesFeb 19, 20261.0Of all the pilots I have been... This one is the WORST... I tried pumping diesel and it didn't work, they reset my pump and still didn't work, told them that I was going to move to a different pump and then they accused of pumping on the other pump so I had to show the worker my fuel gauge, I don't know if it is because I am latino, but not just that even inside the customer service was the worst I have ever encountered in my life so far...
- TKT KFeb 17, 20265.0I came February 17 at 6:30 AM and let me tell you all of the staff here was so friendly. I do not know who everyone was but yeah store manager give them some praise. Because I’ve been driving for five years and by far this group of employees here were the friendliest and funniest I’ve ever met.
- KSKirsten SellersFeb 4, 20265.0Very friendly and helpful staff. My mom (82) and I recently passed through and needed wiper fluid. I struggled to open the hood so I asked for help. James, who was busy cleaning the floor, happily came out to help us. It was windy and freezing cold but he was able to get it open so I could refill. He was cheerful and refused to take the money my mom offered him for the help. They really take care of their customers. Thank you again James!
