I filled my car's gas tank up once while I was in Ottawa. After stuffing myself with grub for lunch…read moreat a nearby restaurant last Friday, I saw this Petro-Canada and stopped by. It had steady business. I had no problem finding a free pump. I tried paying at the pump, but the authorization was declined. I tried it again and it did the same thing. It was odd. The reason why this review gets a high rating is my seeking help from the man at the convenience store attached to this gas station. I couldn't tell if it was an issue with my credit card or the pump. I asked if he could pre-approve an amount for me. We went through the process of approving $70 worth of gas on my credit card. This transaction was also denied. It proved to me that there was something weird happening with my credit card. I thanked him for his efforts troubleshooting with me. I sat in my car and called my credit card company. It is known to do fraud checks. It decided to initiate a check and put a hold on my card when I tried to pay for gas at the pump. I find my credit card company to be odd. I've been in Ottawa for a week and you now flag a gas pre-authorization on it? I got the hold taken off my credit card. I was then able to pay at the pump. I swiped my Petro-Points card to earn points, my 407 ETR card to get a discount for each litre of gas, and them my credit card to pay. It worked at long last. Woo hoo! I successfully filled my gas tank up. I was happy. It was way too much work after lunch, but I'm glad that I was still alert. It's a decent gas station. I'd return here again to fill up my car's gas tank and hope that my credit card is hold-free due to a perhaps random fraud check. (238)

It turns out that this place had the most expensive gas anywhere around by as much as .05 cents a…read morelitre, and it was inconvenient because you had to go inside to pay rather than at the pump, but it was conveniently closeby just when we needed it. Next time we will make sure to have a full tank of gas before going out to Embrun, thereby avoiding the need to visit here. Sorry for the bad review! :-(

I recently had them filled by a young attendant. 2 days later one was leaking. After several hours of leaking which began creating a white cloud, I took it back and was told it was normal in an extremely RUDE manner by one of the kids! I was upset and left the tank there. My wife dropped in today and was told the tank was sent to the administration office in Embrun. The tank was brought back to the gas station while she waited. She was told that the tank was overfilled by about 5 pounds and the regulator was replaced before. Thus, I was sold used propane tanks as new. They actually want us to purchase another tank from them. She was also treated rudely, this time by an older gentleman (not a kid)

I thought this person had serious mental issues when he ran out of the gas station like a crazy person saying I can't throw my garbage out from my vehicle in the garbage can. He then threw the cover on the ground, grabbed my takeout leftovers and walked towards my vehicle. I grabbed my garbage to stop this very unstable individual before he escalated it to another level. When I told him that I would never buy gas from this station ever again and leave a bad review, his response was "I don't care". Being the consumer, I can choose where to spend my hard earned money and did such by going across the highway to Ultramar. What a difference. ULTRAMAR was CLEAN, great convenience store, gas was cheaper, friendly service. I don't get it, why is this ESSO Vars still in business? Give your head a shake. LMAO

Useful if ever your local car wash is under maintenance. It's clean inside and the staff are actually pretty engaging and helpful, which is a nice change compared to some other gas stations.
