Bp Amoco

Came here to use the restroom… The area is pretty small… convent store wise… there’s like no place to walk around or to even browse at there products… bathroom is big and has a lot of space… it’s actually a really clean bathroom for a gas station… There is a lot of boxes on the side of the bathroom I guess it’s a storage/​bathroom area for BP… I like the fact there’s no Stains everywhere and there’s a mirror soap and tissues… You usually don’t get all these things at a gas station restroom… There is parking but for paying customers only… the owner pretty nice… I didn’t have to purchase anything and they just let me Use there restroom… no keys needed… there products prices are reasonable… sells the basic needs such as drinks/​food and random stuff for you cars

This place always looks like the official Westside taxi depot. With that said, you can be assured it has all the things you need if you’re on a journey, including parking to take a brief break. Once you are finally able to fight your way through all the taxi cab drivers, you have access to Dunkin Doughnuts, a grill (where I’ve gotten your standard egg omelet, bacon, and home fries platter), all your simple auto needs, beverages, and snacks. Store has always been clean with helpful friendly service, both weekends and weekdays, night and day.
Also because store is typically busy, it isn’t a bad place to stop on a late night considering the destituteness of the area.
Funny though, considering the number of taxis that are always around, you may not hit a homerun grabbing one. Some of the taxi drivers are taking a break and don’t want to drive anyone at the time.

I never thought it was possible to have a terrible experience at a gas station until I went here.
I needed to get gasoline and stopped at this BP. I pulled into the station and selected the option to pay at the pump with my credit card. I swiped my credit card and received the message «Please see assistant». I went inside and there was a line of several people also saying they had received the same message. I finally got to the front of the line and I told the cashier the issue, and he said he needed to see my ID and asked what pump I was at. I gave him my drivers license and told him what pump I was at, and he said «Please go to pump 3 and come back». I went outside and as I was about to drive to pump 3, I saw there was a line of several other cars waiting for that pump. At the front of the line was a man who had been irate because he was also told to go to Pump 3 just like I was, but the system was still not accepting his card. As I did not have all day to sit around waiting in line to pump gas, I drove down the street to the Hess station on 45^th street and had a much better experience (and it was also 10 cents a gallon cheaper)
Note that I complained about this incident to BP Customer service and received an apology e-​mail from the owner, but I still wanted to share this ridiculous experience.

A decent gas station tucked away on 10^th Avenue. It’s nothing like the zoo at the Hess Station a few blocks up, and they also have a great little Dunkin Donuts/​Market inside. Overall, and A-​OK place to top up your tank in Manhattan.
