Sturbridge Gas

I took my car here for repairs after reading some reviews of the shops in the area. Since it was rated the highest at the time I gave them a call and thy said I could bring it right in then and there and they’d take a look at it for me.
Upon arriving, I met with Ray and turned over my key so he could take it for a test drive and then get it on the lift to inspect it. Even though they had a full yard and cars in all bays, he was able to accommodate me very quickly. And I even assured him that I was in no hurry.
While I was waiting, I happened to meet and strike up a conversation with a gentleman there who I discovered is on the Sturbridge police force. He said he and his family have been using this shop for many years as do many others he knows. Reassuring news for me.
It turned out that my car’s rear differential required replacement. He quoted me a price, got a used one ordered (we agreed that would be the best way to go bang-​for-​the-​buck wise) and I brought the car back the following morning so they could fit the replacement.
After they fit the replacement the following day, Ray informed me that we had received a damaged part from the supplier. Unfortunately, this wasn’t discovered until it was fitted to my car. It worked. But man, did it sound awful! Worse than my original one! I think Ray was more upset than I was. And understandably so. He and his guys now had to put the time in to swap a part out twice and this isn’t exactly a fast operation like an oil change.
The day following that and the second replacement arrived and was installed and now all is well. And the final price came in a bit under the quote he gave me.
Despite the supply issue, I give these guys five stars for their competency, professionalism and the fact that they care about getting the job done right.
Thank you, Ray and team!

Car repair guys are beyond amazing. My wife and I had car problems while traveling through the area, and they were recommended by someone in town, and I can see why. They took the car in on the spot, did a thorough check, and actually explained things in great detail. They went to get a needed part, stayed late to complete the repair, and we were on our way just a bit later. Everyone should be fortunate enough to have a car repair place like this in their town, and I’m grateful we happened upon them by blind luck while traveling through. It’s too bad that five stars is the maximum rating, because they should get more than that.

Good price on gas. One of the cheapest that I saw in the Sturbridge vicinity. The location was easily accessible which was a huge help to me. Since I am anything but a local to say the least.
The gas was the third lowest price that I saw in the general vacinity with one of the other two not taking credit cards at all and the other was within $.03 per gallon of the cost here.
It was also the nicest with respect to cleanliness from a current perspective; newer pumps, proper canopy, newer storefront, no litter, properly lined parking lot, etc. I was also impressed by the gentleman behind the counter as he was honest, fair, and straightforward.
Pro Tip: AmEx cards work only some of the time. Purportedly there is no rhyme or reason to this!
Lots of sudsy bubbles n buckets to clean those bug catchers up when needed. The pumps do not have autofill pump handles, so I suppose you have to stand there to pump all your gas, however I just may not know how to properly work these pumps… *shrugs* I got the job done and that is what matters the most.
If I was working or living nearby, I would definitely try to come here again as it was a pretty kewl experience.

The employees at this business are extremely pleasant and they have the cheapest gas in town.

Just what Sturbridge needed, another gas station/​convenience store. Plenty of pump offering competitive prices. Clean inside, including the restrooms. There is a drive thru and space to add a DD or some other fast food in the future.
