It's also right off the freeway, so it's not a hassle and I don't ever feel like I'm going out of my way to find the cheap gas. Other than that, it's pretty much your standard gas station!

Did some Internet research, bought an OBD2 unit for $120 and found the problem myself... a loose gas cap. Now I'm questioning the new battery they installed as well as the brake job they did. Anyone working in a service station should know that any vehicle should be moving while turning the wheels. Otherwise, it's hard on the power steering pump, the entire steering system, as well as the transaxles. The attendant who drove my car out of the bay when I went to pick it up is either ignorant of this fact or trying to drum up more unnecessary repairs. Either way, he shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel of any customer vehicle. Never again.

I filled up my car's gas tank before I headed back home. There are plenty of pumps. The station is clean. I didn't have a chance to go into the convenience store.

However, according to the server, they only sell gas and cigarettes once they lock their doors. No use to me, since I don't smoke and rarely drive and I was there simply to pick up some milk for my coffee on my way home. I was disappointed of course... and the grinning, almost gleeful "server" behind the window felt more than a tad offensive. Oh well, black coffee it is, then. Next time I need to pick up anything of that nature after hours, I'll be swinging by the Esso on Gladstone and Bank. I've _never_ encountered such a ridiculous policy in the fifteen years since I first encountered these security windows and it crossed my mind as I headed away that the guy was simply being a lazy cuss. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't, but it surely wouldn't have killed him to have grabbed a bag of milk out of the fridge and taken my money this once, letting me know of this strange new policy for future reference. I've worked with the public in similar capacity before and know the value of keeping the customer satisfied. This guy obviously doesn't care about representing his employer and the previous good will his coworkers have fostered with me has taken a pretty nasty knock as a result. Lift your game Petro Canada. It is insulting to think that a supposedly Canadian company can fall short of the standards set by multinationals on its own soil.

The station also has a touchless gas station, an air pump, and a vacuum. I parked by the car wash. There were a few spots. I then walked in. Looks are deceiving. I thought that this Circle K would be large. On the contrary, it's small, with as much merchandise packed in as possible. If you are a Tim Hortons fan, you have a lot of coffee flavour choices here. You see coffee in your face when you walk in. Next to it is a fridge with frozen treats. I was here to redeem some coupons. The problem? Nothing that I wanted to redeem was available at this store. There weren't any Froster or Polar Pop machines. There were no Joker energy drinks. AriZona drinks were non-existent. I settled for getting a Mountain Dew in purple thunder. It wasn't a part of the plan. I got a coupon that's available to any customer online. I got a female staffer who was busy counting her change. She was nearly done. I told her to take her time. She scanned my drink, and then my digital coupon. I also scanned my PC Optimum and paid for my $1.13 drink with a debit card. Done! I wished her a great day. She reciprocated. I left with my cold drink. Although disappointed with the beverage selections, customer service is great. My drink was also surprisingly yummy. I expected a huge sugar rush, but it didn't happen. This store is great if you are looking for coffee or a generic pop flavour. If you need something specific, chances are that you won't find it here. (222)

Instead, both the $50.00 authorization and the $46.26 purchase were applied to my credit card. This place is unethical and I must now wait for them to fix it. Don't go there. They cheat.

I read this book this summer - it was one of those tiny, feel-good, advice, chicken soup kind of…read moredeals and one of the pieces of advice it offered was to get your gas from your local, independent gas station/service centre. The reason given was that when your car breaks down or fails to start one snowy morning, your local mechanic who knows you is more likely to come and help you that some stranger from the big corporate gas station/convenience store. So, when I moved to Ottawa and settled in this area, I chose Riverside Service Centre as the independent place I would frequent. And, it has paid off. What personalized service I get now that I have been there a few times. Even when there are times when the gas is more expensive, I still shop there to build the bridges. I hope I never have to call on them, but at least they know my name and my face when and if I ever do need them!
