If you live IN DeKalb, go to Casey's on 38 and Peace Road. (I go by gas prices and Customer Service.) Fas Mart doesn't cut it. There's always something broken, it looks dirty, the CS is whenever they feel like it, the PRICES are the highest, and I would NEVER stop here if it were dark outside. Seriously, just go to Casey's, you'll be "safer" there.

I have never been so disgusted during an interaction with an employee in my life. At about 1:30am I…read morestopped here to get some medicine. I tried opening the door, although there was resistance I assumed it might have been frozen since there's frost everywhere else so I pull a little harder. With hardly any effort the door opens. As I enter, the employee shouts "lemme ask you a question. do you think that was the smartest idea?" Very confused, I turn around a find a PHONE CHARGER was tied to the other door to prevent it from opening. Mean while he's shouting walking around irritated saying "what the fuck man" and I'm just like is this even real..? I left without making a purchase as I was not about to interact with him again. I would have felt unsafe if the police officer I opened the door for wasn't standing right next to me, also confused. I have a few "smart" ideas for you... 1) they crafted this devices many years ago.. called a LOCK. Smartest idea I could think of would be to lock the door to prevent someone from entering it. 2) how about a SIGN? That maybe would say "hey, please don't go through this door." 3) having some sense of customer service and just letting it slide would also be recommended. But no... Just an angry unintelligent employee shouting. As someone in a customer service related field, any employee that approached a customer in that manner would no longer be a representative of my business.

This location's open 24 hours too, which is a plus for the neighborhood insomniacs. No alcohol - but really that's the only drawback and anyway, Inboden's next door has a nice beer selection - just go there to get your booze. I'm a big fan of the punch card they offer for coffee and other hot drinks - the good old buy 8, get 1 free type of deal. I've heard rumors to the effect that if you ask really nicely, some of the girls might be willing to "accidentally" punch your card 2 or 3 times per visit ;-) - I mean sometimes it's the little things in life that you gotta be thankful for, you know? Typical high gas station prices on most items, but they always have some sort of bargain bin thing out front with deeply discounted merchandise that needs to be sold - you know what I mean, like halloween candy in November or x-mas junk in January. They also seem to sell a pretty good amount of winning scratch off lottery tickets here too if that happens to be your thing. I've seen multiple $1,000 winners posted on the glass there, so someone's getting lucky. But what it all comes down to is that this is just a gas station, one of dozens in DeKalb. The difference here is the employees and their overall great attitude and demeanor, and that's what makes this particular gas station a 5 star venue, rather than a run-of-the-mill 7-11 or someplace else with clerks who could not possibly care less about their job or their customers.

Sometimes there's an attendant; sometimes there isn't. Conveniently located right across from a gas station; there's rarely a line. Car wash prices are fairly standard, and they sell tokens. The machine you pay for your carwash doesn't reliably recognize bills, so I usually pay be credit card - good luck trying to get a receipt; it always seems to jam in the machine. If you're willing to deal with that, this place is just fine. The machine did stiff me a carwash once, but the attendant made it right on my next visit (even with no receipt - see comments above).

I was inside their building for less than 5 minutes. In that time tri-state had begun to hook up my vehicle. (Shame on me for not having a parking sticker for that parking lot, that IS on me). I ran to my car explaining to them what happened and I was met with a "I don't care, lady". As all of my belongings (wallet, ID, phone, etc) were in my car, I ran over to grab them before my vehicle was towed away. The driver rushed towards me. I got nervous and slammed and locked the door with myself inside. He began screaming at me to get out of the car. When I told him "No, you're making me nervous." His response was for me to "suck and choke on his balls". I told him I was calling the police and at that point his response had gotten the attention of residents who were trying to protect me. He unhooked my vehicle and scurried away. I'll attach of photo of my original comment that had gotten removed. Shame on tri-state towing for not firing workers who sexually assault female customers. Shame on yelp for protecting that kind of business.

I'm a regular customer at Merlin. I used to get all my oil changes and car issues checked there…read more But every time I went, they'd hand me a huge list of repairs. For example, when my tail light was out, they charged me $35 just for installation--something I later learned to do myself in about two minutes. Then, I heard a sound from my tire, and they said it'd cost $600. When I hesitated, they warned me it was risky to drive, so I agreed. Later, I had an oil change--they charged me $80 for synthetic oil, which should last 6,000 miles. But at 2,500 miles, my engine oil light came on. I checked, and there was no oil. I had to get it redone elsewhere. Next, I had a catalytic converter issue. Merlin charged me $300 for installation after I bought the part myself. Later, I smelled smoke from my A/C vent. They told me it would go away after some miles, but it didn't. My engine light stayed on, and after about 7,000 miles, the car wouldn't accelerate. They said it was the catalytic converter again--$1,500. I had no choice, so I paid. They had already charged me $99 for the diagnostic. One week later, I heard another noise from the tire. I asked them to check, but they wanted another diagnostic fee. I reminded them I had just done one, but they insisted it was separate. I paid $99 again. Then they said it was the tire bearings--$600. I was suspicious, so I took my car elsewhere. Turns out it wasn't the bearings; it was brake pads. I've realized they exaggerate issues to charge more. I've wasted $3,000 in two years. If I'd gone to another mechanic first, I'd have avoided all this. I've seen other reviews saying the same. I don't recommend Merlin. If you have car issues, go somewhere else.
