Bogg’s Gas No 2

I rated this place a 5 star, but after further thought i’m giving it a 2 star. With a single irate/​pissy employee on duty the place gets trashed fast. This locations bathroom has been out of order for weeks now. I suspect it works just fine when the employees use it. Low gas prices yeah, but you can tell the employees are underpaid and blaming you for their problems. Makes me not want to go in! Looking for a new gas station now.

Bogg’s I & II are something you just do not see anymore, independent gas stations. The owner must be a good manager. He has something you do not see anymore, long term employees. There are a few Boogs employess at the Holmes Road (near Von’s Plaza and Holmes Road Diner) station who have worked for Boggs several years and worked for Red when he owned the large station (it had a garage then) across the street.
Just as a single builder-​landlord kept rent lower in Ypsilanti, Boggs keeps gasoline lower priced. I suspect he often sells his gas at cost, looking to the little stores for profit.
He provides another service. Free air and he keeps his air compressor and hose well maintained. He also keeps the hose in a good location. It’s smart business.
Boggs has me passing the other stations, even when they are a little cheaper (which is not very often) just because I appreciate the air hose and the polite cashiers.

Use to go here all the time when I lived in Depo town area, they had and I believe still have the cheapest gas in all of Ypsilanti. Easy in and out access from the road.

On the downside, you have to pay before you pump here, even if you’re using a credit card. On the upside, it’s usually some of the cheapest gas in Ypsilanti. Fran’s down the street sometimes has it cheaper, but if anybody is going to beat Fran’s, it’s usually this Boggs station. They’re easy in-​easy out if you’re traveling up Prospect or down Holmes, too.
