Esso

I don’t usually get petrol from Esso, but for some reason, this location is always $ 0.03 cheaper than petrol everywhere else. Is it because it’s just north of the 401? Not quite sure. When you head north of the 401, you’ll see a Petrol Canada first, and you’ll really want to get in on the petrol that’s also 3 cents cheaper, but if you drive just a little bit further north, you’ll get to this Esso.
I try to avoid that Petrol Canada as it’s a small lot and it gets more cars turning in for it being closer to the freeway. Going to this Esso works for me because they have a bigger lot and I have been here a few times where it’s 3.3 cents cheaper than the average.
I’ve never had to go into the store, but that’s because I haven’t run into any trouble with the machine yet. I say this lightly because they seem to be older machines. When it comes to selecting the petrol grade, I seem to alway have to press it a few times before it registers. And I don’t think it supports Paypass tap payments, so their tech could use an upgrade.
Other than that, I really can’t complain when it comes to filling up the tank, I try to come here.

This station is awful. The only reason I fill up at Esso is for the Aeroplan miles. When I got here I had trouble entering my card at the pump, which has never happened to me before at any other station. I went inside to pay and present my card and the clerk told me to go ahead and fill up and he would apply the miles to my account afterwards. I filled up and returned inside where he informs me that they don’t accept Aeroplan at this location! When there is a huge sign in front saying that they do! AND he told me to fill up and that he would fix this when I came back in! This is either false advertising on the part of the business or he lied to me and is collecting the points himself. Either way, something very shady and underhanded is going on here. I will NEVER be filling up at this station again.
