Manager is unprofessional and disconcerting demands on employee’s. Recent example is she borrows money from register and repays next day before anyone finds out. She manages by her suspensions instead of facts regarding workers. She falsely accuses employees of wrong doing. Big hypocrite. «DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO»

What can I say? It’s a pretty typical, run of the mill gas station.
I am not one that drives around looking for the cheapest gas prices before filling up my tank. I frequent this fill station because it is conveniently located near my house.
The people who work here have always been nothing but pleasant. I have been here a few times when it is super busy and they always thank me if I have to wait a bit longer than normal (I’ll attribute this to the State of Oregon not allowing me to pump my own darn gas).
If your car is in need of a spa day there is a two car covered coin operated washing stations. They also have an air pump for adding pressure to your tires. I just wish it were not located so close to the gas pumps. Makes for a little bit of an awkward time if you just need air and not gas.

I was sold on using this gas station. I filled up here once a week after work, and the attendants were friendly (as can be expected). The cigarettes were cheap, another bonus. Unfortunately after filling up both of my cars here, they both experienced difficulties. I have a little experience with autos, so I started swapping out pieces trying to troubleshoot the problem. It wasn’t till I hooked up a fuel pressure tester, upset that it wasn’t the pressure I drained the gauge and my gasoline came out looking like maple syrup. Come to find out that there was water in my gas, and since they put ethanol in the gasoline in the winter at most stations, this allowed it all to become some nightmarish soup. Both of my cars have recovered over time and alot of effort. But as a result I will never again purchase gas from an Astro. Just gonna have to fork out for higher quality gas and hope for the best.
