POOR EXPERIENCE Went in to get gas didn't realize it was full service only but they had a restroom I desperately needed so told the attendant go ahead toss 15g in. At almost $6 a gallon! What did my full-service entail you ask? NOTHING No air pressure check, no window wash, no fluid checks NOTHING was done to my vehicle except putting the over valued gas I paid for in it. I asked another attendant if I had to fill up to get "full service" his answer was a huffy no. add insult too injury I had already tipped the attendant after using the restroom inside while paying, no cash back option to tip anyone. odd but I had cash anyway so I tipped the attendant well. "most people don't bother to tip us" And you wonder why?. Way to take advantage of the working man and steal his tip money for nothing! Fwiw I had went up and came down from Christoper creek and my windshield was covered in bugs.

So I was looking around for a shop to work on my 2014 Range Rover Evoque close to home. There were a few of them rated 3 to 4 stars but wouldn't work on my car. I sent out a few messages to some shops through yelp. Lane the owner of Bridwell Automotive Center reached out to me within minutes. Asked me what was happening or not happening to my car so i explained to him the issue. He said for me to get it towed to his shop and it would take a day or so to let me know what needs to be repaired the same day Jeff the shop manager gave me a call told me what was going on and how much it would be.

Customer service and update times were quick and they had all the answers to my questions. I would highly recommend Bridwell Automotive Center for your Range Rover maintenance etc. Thank you Lane for your quick response over Yelp. Thank you Jeff for your awesome customer service and quick updates. To the mechanics at Bridwell thank you very much i wouldn't be heading to Vegas tomorrow if it weren't for your knowledge and quick hands. Im one of many satisfied customers.

On the advise of one of their employees I took my '69 El Camino in for some work. A fuel odor was found to be caused by too many vent lines so the tank had to be dropped. They capped the vent line and rehung the tank but didn't do it properly. I can't get the cap off the filler now! Such a simple thing that should have been checked but they didn't bother. No, I won't bother going back.

Such a breath of fresh air to find a modern day full service gas station! Even late at night the staff were friendly and courteous.

Cool gas station remains you those old good fashion Stations in a top notch luxury location. Check em out you will see
