Just your average gas station, but one cool thing that they have is not only do they have propane exchange but they also have a refill station to fill your tank at $4 per gallon instead. It is a reasonable price and not all locations in the area refill and only off exchange. It was simple and easy. You just bring your tank in and talk to the attendant and they will refill your tank and give you a slip of how many gallons it took that you take to the cashier to pay. I will definitely bring my future tanks here to refill. read more

Dad's Quik Mart - Propane Refill - Gas Stations Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

See all

Have gotten propane there forever! Today i went and older lady came out. I believe she's MANAGER? She had no clue. My propane tank is attached to van. Not a portable BBQ tank. She didn't feel She could fill tank. I left! That's ok... I'll go to South Reno where they know how to fill a tank. read more

Propane refills? Yea right. If it's after 7 forget it! Cause propane doesn't flow after 7. To early? Forget it it's to cold we're not going out there. This city is a joke for trying to get propane refilled and this place is the worse one of them all. I showed up at 7:15 wouldn't fill my tanks so I slept with out heat. read more

Easy in and out - propane there which is nice - when everyone was outta eggs they had some

I had my propane tank refilled there. The clerk let me know that the gauge I had was not properly working and suggested that I use the weight of the propane bottle and not the gauges. According to the gauge in my tank was almost empty it only took two pounds of propane. This information was very much appreciated since I usually just exchange my tanks. I've been wasting a lot of money doing it that way. read more

There is something seriously wrong with their pumps. It just took pump #1 almost 20 minutes to get 17 gallons of gas and then it didn't automatically stop pumping when it was full. The gas started pouring out of the fuel filler. This is not the first time these pumps have been so slow. Nor the same pump. This needs to be addressed and fixed. read more

The attendant was on the spot for helping me unload and loading the tank's into my truck great service! Thanks

Always enjoyed stopping at Dad's during my trips to the Reno/Sparks area. Just stopped in last week to find out Phil had passed away. We were so shocked and saddened by this news. Phil was Dad's Quik Mart. The establishment already wasn't the same nor was the customer service that we received. The, who I assume was the owner and new manager were there. The lack of empathy for us as customers and rudeness displayed was astounding. They both seemed very shady on top of it. Really disappointed in the ownership and new management. Won't be stopping here anymore and our family in the area won't be giving any business to them now. read more

Dad's quick mart is always a solid bet for everything you need last minute on your way home. The place is always fully stocked, they never seem to be out of or even low on any products, the gas prices are good and their is always an open pump. Staff is very friendly and quick with check out. read more

I know they run limited hours or they can fill propane tanks So I called ahead to confirm that they could and was told someone would be there forever English told someone would be there for over an hour. A 1/2 hour later I show up and no one is there that can fill a propane tank. Poor customer service poor business model buyer beware read more

Living just across Sparks Blvd from Dad's, locality might force me to use it. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. The store is a great asset to have so close, twenty-four hours a day. I buy my gas there and stop in when I need to fill an immediate need. Michael and Jimmy are my favorite cashiers, but everyone behind the counter is skilled in customer service. All that takes is in interest in making the customer's day better. THAT THEY DO!!!! read more

I am super excited the fill propane at this store. If you live out in Spanish Springs this is pretty close and not bad priced.

A great stop on the way to Spanish Springs. Always have a drink and a treat and something to keep you happy on your way home. The staff is friendly and helpful and from time to time they have beer tasting. Nothing like a good shoot of beer on your way home when the police is also inside. A solid stop for your on the go needs. read more

I will never set foot in this place for anything in the world the woman behind counter was so rude

Ive been going to Dad's for years . today I went in for propane. Once my 7gallon tank was full I asked if the man would help me and put it in my car as I am high risk pregnant and giving birth in a couple days and medically not supposed to lift something that heavy. He said medically he couldn't, no problem is there anyone else who can? To which he replied, legally we can't. Mind you I've never run into this being an issue. I was able to have my 8 year old son help me lift it and got it in the car . Once I walked into the store to pay , the older man was telling the older lady and a younger 20 year old boy as if it was a joke .... I told them they could have helped and the lady said "maybe you shouldve had your husband come in instead " ... completely rude, they seem to have developed a reputation for being this way to customers.. last time I bring my business to Dad's quick mart . read more

Dad's is around the corner from my home. This quik mart is a cut above the rest for many reasons. They do a ton for people in need and for the local community. Today, I stopped to pick up an item and was in a hurry, had the baby, and realized that i left my debit card at home. I had some 1's and came up 17 cents short. Instead of making me run out to my vehicle to collect 17 cents the gentleman told me not to worry about it. It's small gestures like that, that separates Dad's from any other corner mart and keeps me coming back almost daily. Keep up the good work! read more

For some reason these people always have the worst attitudes. I asked if they accepted ebt food stamps and they treated me like a homeless a$$hole. read more

I really like how close they are to our house but not a fan of the $.35 charge they add without telling you to every credit and debt card purchase. I like to support local owned business and I still on occasion get gas and snacks. I would become more of a regular I'd they dropped the charge. They do have a great selection of food and drinks. The gas is usually pretty competitive in price. If they get rid of the surcharge I will raise my rating. read more

Dad's has the gas scene on lockdown in their area. The prices are 10-20 cents higher per gallon than some of the quick stops and warehouse stores but the convenience of the location seems to draw me in from time to time. The pumps are well maintained with the exception of a couple being out of order from time to time. The inside of the store is large and clean. The cashiers have always been friendly. If I have to choose between paying a higher price or running out of gas, 10 times out of 10 I'm gonna choose to break out my wallet and pay up. read more

I came in to this location one morning at around 1145am. I bought a granola bar and a milk. Long story short, I left my phone there at the check out stand. Well, I didn't have enough time to run back and pick it up because I would have been late for work. I decide to pick my phone up later in the day, around 5pm, and I talk to the Manager named Joan. This lady is very shady. She told me to describe the phone, I did, and she stated that the descriptions did not match. She then gave me her business phone and told me to call the phone I was there to pick up. I called my phone numerous times and no luck. She insisted that the phone was not mine. I had to beg this lady to let me see the phone so I could unlock the screen. She hands me the phone, I unlock it, and she says its yours then. Wait, it gets better... When I receive my phone, I check my call log. The business phone that Joan let me use did not show up at all. Hmm... I strongly believe she was trying to screw me out of my own shit. There was an 18 year old-ish kid with her and I think she was going to give it to him. Sure, it's alright to be cautious these days with lost items. But when I leave work, around 5 pm, 15 miles away to pick up a lost phone (that I called and told her I was going to pick up anyways) it is pretty shady. Well, Joan, congratulations on this review. You lost a customer you shady woman. read more

Some good and some bad... 1. Gas prices are high. 2. Store is clean, large, well stocked, good selection, and generally nice. 3. Cashiers can be very pushy and give guilt-trips when they are doing 'fund raisers' for local causes. 4. They seem very community involved, hosting car washes by kids, yard sales, fundraisers, selling local small business items. 5. As other reviewers pointed out also, their credit card surcharge is ILLEGAL, against merchant rules, and overall infuriating! I understand accepting credit cards is expensive, but that's a cost of doing business. NOT ALLOWED to assess a surcharge to customers. read more

Since I live literally a stone's throw away from this place, it's my minimart/gas station of choice!! I'm in there at least once a day for something. They treat you like family there, which will always bring people back. The employees know their patrons by name, the location is always spic n' span, they've all the little treats and booze you could ever need and they offer affordable smog services on the weekend! Their gas is top quality Techron product, which is a couple cents more than the competition...but in my opinion, you get what you pay for...and using quality gasoline will prolong the life of your car. Oh, and they also sell Kratom, if you're ever looking for it! All in all.. they're a local business, clean, friendly and convienent! Keep up the great work yall!! read more

Love this store, have been going here for 6 years. Anyways friendly staff, always doing community events, and is not a chain. One thing I want to say (based on other reviews) is the fee they charge for credit card minimums is less than other stores I've been to and is within legal rights http://blog.credit.com/2016/03/is-it-legal-for-stores-to-have-a-credit-card-minimum-139638/ And they are one of the only gas stations I've found that regularly stock my favorite drink. The no carb blue rockstar. Oh last thing, if they don't carry something you really want, ask the mngr they will find it for you if possible. read more

Sucks. I want to warn as many people as I can! They do NOT have mustard on their condiment bar. She said they had to throw a box of it away, because it wasn't being used fast enough?! THEN, they had gas posted for 2.17, but, in a much smaller sign, you actually pay 2.27 with credit or debit. On top of that, they charged a surcharge for you to use a debit card inside the store!! This place is NOT customer friendly AT ALL. read more

I entered the store without a mask. I am highly asmatic and i told them from the moment I walked in that I cannot wear a mask and if they have a alternative protection method like a face shield i would use it and they said no its ok. After picking out my items and was in line I had the manager yell at me saying get the fuck out if I wasn't going to put a mask on. I told him as well if you have an alternative method of protection i would be more than willing to comply and he yelled to the cashier "do not ring him up, I don't give a fuck how long he stands there, do not serve him" (Michael was his name) this is not a law, it is a highly suggested thing that is implemented unless someone has a health condition and i do very much so and was willing to do what they wanted to make them feel comfortable if they could accommodate. Instead he yelled and cussed at me while other workers had their face masks hanging off their ear not covering their face. I called the non emergency police line and they said that they cannot refuse service if you have a health condition but they do not have the resources to send out a unit to rectify the situation and I should record what was taking place and file a report against them because it falls under discrimination against someone with a disability. I dont consider myself to be disabled but I've avoided going into public for 3 months now because I've had an asthma attack from wearing a mask 3 different times because of the restrictions on my breathing from a mask. This is discrimination at its finest. If you are willing to refuse service to someone that has a health condition you need to be able to accommodate the same way you would when you add handicap parking spots and handicap ramps to get into the store read more

Yesterday I went in looking for the white colored airheads a very small item, item they didn't have any on the shelves. I proceeded to the counter, asked josh and drew if by any chance knew if they had any. They informed me that they just received their shipment of products and it could have been in any of the 20-25 crates. i told them that it was fine and proceeded with my shopping and i walk around and finished what i was looking for and to my surprise they had both gone through every single crate within the time frame that i had grabbed my other items which could not have been more that 4 minutes and found them for me. These two gentlemen gave me the best experience that i have had at ANY convenience store and went out of their way for me, my week had been pretty rough and i love those candies so them putting in that extra work just for something so small that they did not know would make a difference made my whole week worth it. I hope These men are getting recognized for the work they do..... read more

This store used to be awesome now the people are so short and rude. I don't like coming in anymore and I won't come back again I don't feel welcome. It's too bad because this used to be like a little family shop and now I don't even wanna support you anymore very sad maybe you guys should work on being nicer to your customers again read more

I went in to get propane. I've done this numerous times before. I've always just exchanged my empty one for a full one. Tonight I went in to do the same. Matthew was the one to help me. He asked if I wanted to fill or exchange. What? No one has ever asked me that. He said it's cheaper to fill. It was $10 cheaper. He even carried to my car afterwards. Thank you Matthew. read more

Dad's has plenty of gas pumps and they charge the usual high prices of convenience. If you live in this corner of Sparks and are lazy about not keeping your fuel levels decent when you're near lower-priced gas stations . . . what can you do? Pay up at Dad's! Although it's not cheap I'm often glad it's there because paying their prices is cheaper than running out. The store is fairly well-stocked. Another reason Dad's is often a life-saver for me: they have a decent, if not excellent, selection of beers. I am a beer snob and I always know I can at least get something half-way decent like Moose Drool or a 40 of Arrogant Bastard here. Again, not cheap but totally convenient. They frequently have specials on sodas, like 2 Coke products for 2.50. Reasonable for a convenience store. They have slot machines and an interesting clientelle. Occasionally there are "people of Walmart" caliber freaks hanging around, though it's a clean and newish store. The staff are unfailingly friendly. They have airplane-sized bottles of Cake Vodka at the checkstand for your convenience. read more

these people are great just doing their job if you have health issues maybe bring ur own mask instead of expecting accommodations its literally a law they dont provide shoes and a shirt to people who dont have one be an adult and use ur brain read more

They illegally surcharge purchases using debit cards. Remember, merchants can give discounts for using cash... But they cannot place surcharges on purchases using debit cards (VISA). They do have a sign that shows the charge, but it's an illegal charge so really they are just showing how ignorant to the regulations they are. read more

Dads is a good place to stop for pyramid licenses, beer, snacks and the prices are reasonable. Only gas station for 5 square miles..... Even has a park across the street. Grab some snacks, drinks, then hit the park with the kids. read more

I went in tonight for something simple and I walked out enraged. The old man who works graveyard is so rude and so judgement. This is the one of many times I've encountered this angry, arrogant, old man. My card declined and I asked him to run it again because I had money on my card. The old man acted as if running my card was the biggest issue for him. He looked at me with disgust as if I didn't have the money. I have never been so disrespected and embarrassed in my life. This place is horrible. I wish I didn't even have to rate it 1 star. read more

Cashiers don't know prices & are too fixated on the tv to actually give an intelligent response to any question or to resolve the issue. Hello lady I can see the price on the sign in the cooler & you're still charging me too much! Prices on fuel are so much higher I'd drive into town to save! read more

The old man who works here is super rude. I just needed some gas and all I had was change and he looked at me and said "are you kidding me" And was angry that I only had change. Sorry my rough times are burden on you sir. I will never be coming to this place where I get discriminated against for having change again. read more

I get gas here a lot and usually go in to get a coke. The attendants always friendly. Prices are reasonable, not as low as the grocery stores with their discounts, but you don't have buy $100 of food. The shop has a huge selection of snacks and drinks, even milkshakes. read more

Went there for a smog check. Very friendly and fast! This place has also hosted many fundraisers and they really are about the community!

Can't trust the gas price signs. I stopped in expecting the price on the sign which specifically shows "Cash/Credit" but price ended up 10 cents more per gallon for credit. Also the fuel pumps leak. As soon as I pulled the gun out gas spilled onto my car without even pulling the trigger. read more

Dad's is a convenient, clean and friendly place for a quick soda stop or Pyramid lake permit. I was happy to see the conversion to a 76 gas station since I have a 76 credit card. No complaints here. Love the local feel to the place. read more

make sure you check you bank statement if you are paying with debit or credit. i went in there for milk and some other things my total was $8 and when i checked my bank statement they had charged me $28 dollars. when i called to report it i was told to call back later because the manager wasn't there. i never got my money back !!!! i will only go back if i have cash with me !!!!!!! read more
