First of all this is now a Sinclair station, not a Texaco (please help tell Yelp). Novak Sinclair is perhaps the last full service gas station left in Cedar Rapids. They have an old school, two bay service garage that does good, honest work. After getting screwed at a number of different tire stores, I finally found a good place for tire work. I took an old trailer tire here for repair this week. They replaced the tube and even loaded it into my car (in a pouring rain) for just $25. Tire Plus won't even touch an old tire like that.
Novak has been a part of this old Czech neighborhood for decades. It's cool to step back in time and see how gasoline was dispensed and brake jobs were done before the chains took over the world. Like other good local businesses, they deserve your support CR! read more
