We choose to do it in the car, cause this is not the cleanest gas station in the world. And for some reason still smells like smoke even though it's been illegal to smoke inside for years! I was slightly greeted when I walked in but you could tell you were At Quick Trip or Kum and Go where they go out of their way to say hello. Oh well thats Shell

This "Truck Stop" also has a restaurant on premises (Red Bird Diner) which looked pretty busy when I stopped in yesterday for gas. I guess this place is a hit with the rural locals. Shell has more modern stations out there and judging by the number of pumps, there sure were a lot of diesel nozzles available. On the gasoline side, I was one of 2 or 3 other cars. One was from Iowa with a cute Lab in the back, while another was from Wisconsin and decked out in Packer's gear. I had to go inside for a receipt, which I found to be a bit dark and tchotchke homey. Anyway, the bottom line for me was that I filled up the tank, topped it off, and was able to return the rental car at the Kansas City Airport while it still read full. I'd like to say that this was good planning on my part......

In tiny Polo, MO (on the 13 Hwy N of Richmond) I got my Dodge van serviced at both of the service…read moreshops in town. One thing that impressed me about both shops was the professionalism of their mechanics. Men who from wide experience (which is what results from serving farmers, who could roll up in you-never-know-what) take on a service request with the practical experience as well as a willingness to do what will meet their customer's needs without overdoing the process... is that I never left feeling hustled, which was how I felt at times in big-city service shops. Polo Sales & Service epitomizes the we-can-probably-fix-it attitude that resulted in great value, especially when compared to much bigger shops. In fact the only drawback here is the fact that farmers show up early and often, so the wait is at times longer than city shops that have bigger staffs and more lifts. Great people. 5 solid

As for the 3 star review Eugene left, they left a few details out. Their statement that no employee wears a mask is irrelevant due to the fact that Polo has remained virtually untouched by "covid", therefore masks aren't needed. Karen, I mean Eugene wore a mask, so why complain. Polo HyKlas is great, HEALTHY & perfect for local shopping. Highly recommended. Ignore Eugenes review, they just bit down on the sandwich of fearmongering so they felt the need to talk bad about a great business. HyKlas gets 5 stars.

This place is pretty tiny inside and it's mainly a gravel lot with a few gas pumps. Single stall restrooms. A large variety of cold beer to choose from and other snacks and munchies.
