Wow, Wally's has now replaced Buc-ees as favorite gas station!…read more It was the first time we haven't seen one or heard about it, so we had to stop by. Very similar to a Buc-ees, lots of food, great bathrooms, hot food, retail, jerky, popcorn, beer, and Nee-dohs! We spend about 30 minutes later walking through everything. We ended up buying jerky, hot cheesy potato bites, house made chips, hoagie, chicken Caesar wrap, cinnamon roll, and Nee-dohs! The food was great - not too salted - tasted pretty fresh and portion size was good. Much better than competitors. They told us they have been open since June 2025, but it was barely crowded inside. This is definitely a must stop location!

Unfortunately for the Pontiac Community we lost Bernie's Automotive to a fire last year…read more Fortunately for me Vance Miller is still running the towing aspect of Bernie's. I first met Vance when my truck decided to turn itself off and not start. Heller motors said they would tow it in to take a look at it. Vance miller showed up, was able to pick me up, and My Truck/Me to Heller Motors to have it looked at. It started right up for Heller Motors. They worked on it for over two hours but couldn't figure out what the issue was. They didn't find the problem and didn't fix it. They said I would just have to "let them know." I'm thinking, great, this will be a nice surprise for me to look forward to. Well today the big surprise happened. I was about a mile and a half north of Towanda heading back to Pontiac from Bloomington. Finding myself dead on the side of the freeway Vance was the first person that came to mind. I called and without hesitation Vance headed my way to rescue me from the sweatbox that my truck was becoming sitting out in that sun. Vance not only picked me and my truck up to drop off at Sam Lemon Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram in Bloomington but he took me to Enterprise rent a car up the road. They had nothing without reservation so he took me to the airport to check out Hertz, Avis, and National. No reservation, no cars. Vance then drove me back to Pontiac and dropped me off at my motel. You see, I am from out of town and that makes issues like this even harder because I am unfamiliar with the surroundings. Honestly, I wish I would have never met Vance because that would mean that my truck was in Tip-Top running order. However, I am glad that I met Vance because he was someone that not only picked me up and took my truck to where it needed to be but he was a local that I could bounce ideas off of and someone that could provide suggestions. As far as I'm concerned he went above and beyond the duties of a tow truck driver. In the end he didn't feel the need to stick it to me when it came to the bill. I hope that when somebody is in the need of a tow truck driver they go to Yelp to find their answer. Look no farther than Bernie's Towing and cross your fingers that Vance Miller is the person that picks you up.

Super friendly, exceptionally helpful, and willing to go the extra mile (literally)…read more Was on a 12 hour road trip when my car died halfway in, with only an hour left of his shift Shawn was kind enough to pick up a battery from the local autozone and deliver it. Upon arriving, he helped me diagnose that it wasn't a battery but a fuel pump, he waited with me an extra 15-20 minutes while I contacted Sennott auto brothers who were amazing at helping. He even towed me the extra 10 miles down the road. Together, Shawn and the brothers determined it was in fact my fuel pump and Sean took off. Shortly thereafter the awesome guys at Sennott Auto Bros had me on my was as well. Tl;dr: He didn't need to help me diagnose, didn't need to drive me an extra 10 miles down the road, and didn't need to stick around talking to those who were doing it to ensure it was done right, but he did - because Shawn is awesome. And Holmes Towing is lucky to have a salt of the earth fellow like him. Kudos.
