Rachels Service Center

While this is technically not a gas station, I ran out of gas two miles from Sparta and this was Unilocal’s only listing. Let me mention that this is a VERY rural area, so I called my insurance company and they said it would be an hour or more. So I took a chance and called Rachel’s. The man working there said he was so sorry, but he was the only one working today and couldn’t leave the shop. I understood and thanked him anyway. While preparing my six year old for a long wait in the 90 degree weather, the man from Rachel’s called back. He had called a friend and was sending the gas with him. I was so excited. The man arrived almost immediately and after the gas was put in, the car wouldn’t start because I guess I had let my kid watch the DVD or something like that. He offered to drive back for jumper cables and came back lickety split and got us on our way. On the way to Rachel’s, there must have been at least three or four gas stations, so I don’t know why they are listed. Anyhow, I hugged the sweet gentleman who went out of his way and the went to the office to pay the fee. The man fiddled his fingers and I thought this is going to expensive. He finally said, «Is $ 15 fair?» I told him it was a bargain and offered to pay more, but he wouldn’t take it. So, while I couldn’t fill up there, he made it possible for me to get back on the road and fill up somewhere else. Hospitality at its Southern best! If you ever need your car fixed, I’d definitely recommend this place.
