Car Wash in Rural Retreat, VA

“Cheapest self service car wash around. Owner keeps it clean considering the people that use is it to spray off heavy amounts of mud and race track filth which clogs the drains...”

“They have the best customer service of any gas station that I have been to. Carol (the cashier) is a truly amazing and sweet person. I was having a rough day and she went out of her way to help make my day better. I will be stopping at this station from now on when I'm in the area just to see Carol! She deserves a shout out at the very least for being an amazing and truly kind person.”

“Friday, November, 4th 2022~9:00 p.m.I had driven from Elliston, VA on my way to Marion, VA. I've had A LOT of horrible, stressful things happen to me in the past two weeks. Due to that I have been scatter-brained as hell. I was on 1-81 when the Low Fuel indicator came on. I was dangerously low on gas and had been cruising along like nothing was wrong.I pulled into the Shell Gas Station in Rural Retreat. I parked and went to grab my money. After frantically searching for five minutes, I realized I had left all of my money at home.I tried to get every method of digital payment I had on my phone to work and no matter what I did it wouldn't work.By this time my friend was worried and drove to meet me. He gave me $30 to get gas.I went in; grabbed a gallon of oil and anti-freeze and went up to the counter. The nice young lady, Theo, helped me make a smarter purchase. I thanked her for not calling the cops on me or something because I had been sitting out in their parking lot for about an hour. She reassured me and said she was actually going to come out and make sure I was okay.She was bright, bubbly, and sweet. She even ran outside to give my keys to me because I left them on the counter.I have managed teams of people plenty of times. I know potential when I see it.Theo; if you ever read this, don't waste your life working in a dead end job. You have great potential to do whatever you put your mind to. Keep that positive attitude, never lose your compassion: and I promise you will go places! :)”
