U Gas

Always have loved this U Gas! Now they have a great air station for effortless filling of your tires. Great !

UGas is the best gas station I’ve ever been to. Best selection of alcohol, food and commonly needed things. And an amazing car wash, which is the only one I ever use now.

Their car wash tore off the sun visor from the top of my car and despite filing a report and attempting to contact a manager three times they made no attempt to fix or reimburse.

When I first saw the construction taking place at this site I was excited cause I was told it was going to be a QT. It would be nice to have one near by, but am I glad it resulted in U GAS.
Super clean, fresh deli, awesome staff, plenty of pumps, and involved with the community

Big station with many pumps, air, and of course the wide variety of foods inside. Very similar to quiktrip but you get more options, albeit a tad bit more expensive.

magic gas station!

Very good gas mart, which I visited only because of Unilocal.If I were to chart the flow, it would look something like this: «John H. wakes up early» arrow to «John H. checks social media websites» arrow to «John H. notices for the 100^th time that one of the only things on the news feed at this hour is Steven B. checking in at U-​Gas» arrow to «John H., crossing neighborhoods, needs gasoline» arrow to «John H. remembers U-​Gas, and decides to give it a try.» I neither used the car wash nor shopped inside. But I did watch the little Chevrolet advertisement on my gas pump’s video screen — do you suppose some remote data base identified me as a Chevy owner? If «yes,» then hear this General Motors advertising agency: next time, I’d like to order up a Camaro video, please.

yeah, its a review on a gas station, but its one that I frequent on a regular basis. I go the extra distance to go here for gas, for their car wash and for the selection of goods they offer inside the convenience store.
they have one of the best car washes, that leave my car shining and looking show room clean, and that certainly gets my vote!

Like an idiot I purchased a car wash at the pump, not having seen the cluster fuck that is their car wash. I pull around and am met with a line longer than Charlie Sheen would even attempt. Thinking, whatever, it will go quickly, I settled in.
Finally when I was like, fuck this, this is not worth it, I realized, oh wait, no, I can’t leave, because it’s one of those lines where there is no escape, you are trapped in by curb. The bitch behind me was doing her makeup and didn’t get my hints to back up and let me out. FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLY she gave up, too, and we were able to back out.
Thinking that day must have been a fluke, I returned recently to use my car wash (which expired that week). Much to my dismay, the car wash line was just as long. What the Hell took so long is beyond me. This is the world’s slowest car wash. I actually saw a buddy of mine in line, too, and texted him. He said he had also been duped into a car wash and that he was only waiting in this line because his expired today, too. Nobody who has ever used that car wash would ever use it again.
I want that hour of my life back. In that amount of time I could have gone to Target, bought car washing materials and a hose, had my landlord install an outdoor faucet, and washed my damn car myself.
I’m sure this is a wonderful gas station, but whatever you do, don’t get a car wash. Unless you have an hour to kill. I could clean my car faster using eye drops and a toothbrush.

This place is awesome. Looks brand new. Enormous selection of sodas and beverages in the cases, plus huge modern fountain soda machines, several coffee brewers, smoothies, etc. So many drinks it would be tough to decide.
The store is a nice little convenience store… wish we had one like this closer to me.
Well lit gas pumps. Great car wash.

This gas station is surprisingly clean and has a wide selection.

We were all sad that day we found out The Beehive Bowling Alley was going to close. We collectively wiped the tears of nostalgia away when years? decades? later it was torn down. Left in that lonely spot among the weeds, gravel and ghosts of physical education field trips past, were the roots of what would soon become known as the BEST GAS STATION IN AMERICA.
From the ashes of a forgotten town, rises the phoenix of capitalism, industry, and progress… queue the trumpets… U GAS.
If you haven’t visited a U GAS before, please do. Things like QT will be a distant memory in your vocabulary, for at U GAS, you can grab mixers, liquors, beer (high and low brow) and even take a stroll through the Beer Cave. But no, the wonders do not stop there, there is an entire section of FOOD, FOOD that is made by REAL PEOPLE, not those mystery meals that get ‘freshly’ backed up into the store by a giant trailer with images of doughnuts on it. I’ve been known to bring a Gigi’s plastic lunch box of food to work on several occasions, what is more perfect than for about 4 bucks, you get a sammich, chips, a side of fruit AND a pudding cup!!! Tons of other food items, including my beloved CAR SNACK cups, and the best soda fountains you can find.
And, if you are a gas pump purist, be not afraid. U GAS has the most modern pumps around, complete with COUPONS and a TEEVEE. Plus, the pump areas are HUGE AND BRIGHT, no one is going to get mowed down at U GAS… And, despite how awesome QT thinks it is, where are it’s car washes? Where??? Oh, that’s right, they’re all at each U GAS location. FOAMBRITE that bishes.
And finally, in the good name of AMERICUH, it seems like the wonderful people at U GAS offer competitive pay and INSURANCE to full time workers and 2 weeks vacay to full and part time! And, if that wasn’t enough, they offer TUITION reimbursement and a 401K. Why do I know this? I’ve been so enamored by Waterloo U Gas’s kid sister on Hampton, that at least once I’ve wondered at what it would be like to have a second job at a gas pump.
U GAS FOR PRESIDENT!

OK, so its nice. But what happened to the gas pump coupons? They made me happy. Its the little things that count and get you through the work week. I enjoyed a free cup of coffee once in a while. I’m hoping they bring them back.
I do go out of my way to go and get cash so that I can save on the gas cost. Which, by the way is not the cheapest game in town anymore. I do realize its so you walk your butt into the building in hopes you will buy some Funyuns, magazine or some other item you didn’t now you needed till you saw it.
U GAS throw us a bone once in a while. Bring back the free coffee.

More business should follow suit: 5 cents off each gallon, if you pay with cash.
Why not give a cash discount? It saves the business the card fees and you walk away with a bit of a deal.

Two things I can not believe, 1) That I am doing an updated review on a gas station and 2) that I am raising them to a 5 Star rating. However, I am doing it because they deserve it.
As Christine stated in her review, the customer service here is outstanding. Everyone of the employees I have meet are friendly, out going and helpful. It is like they all take Pollyanna pills before their shift. It is so good to see people enjoying their work and spreading a little happiness. You do know that stuff is contagious. If not stop by this U Gas and you will see customers come in with a frown and walk out with a smile and they didn’t even have to pay for it. Smiles are free.
The store is always super clean. The booze is super cheap. I can get my Scotch, vodka and beer here at a savings when I do not have time to make the pilgrimage out to Costco. Their selection and variety of convince store staples have also saved my ass numerous times already. They also sell me winning Scratch Lottery Tickets. I am hoping for a big win on Mega and Power some day.
Their prepared foods are done by Gigi and the selection and variety is better then their competitor QT. I’ve tried the salads, a couple of the sandwiches and I like the way the also package fresh fruits and cubed cheeses for snacking. My only draw back on the prepared foods is that they do not have the little box that gives you the Nutrition Facts. Being a dieter, I like to have that information at my fingertips.
Be alert in the parking lot, as this place has gotten popular the parking lot has gotten a little crazy. Everyone rushing in for affordable gas, winning lottery tickets, cheap booze and great customer service makes for a parking lot derby.

Now, I’m not some hillbilly that reviews gas stations. I live in the city, for chrissakes! But, because I live in the city, I’m unaccustomed to gas stations the size of airports. Well, we just got our first in that category and I’m impressed.
I love that it’s large enough that you don’t have to wait to get gas because all the pumps are full. More importantly, I’m embarrassed to say, the convenient mart is a pretty fun shopping experience.
They have it all — a big selection of booze with an entire walk-​in beer case. They have pre-​made sandwiches/​salads/​wraps that look every bit as good as something you’d get at the Schnucks or Dierbergs deli. For breakfast, you can get fresh donuts, sourdough breakfast sandwiches, etc. They have every darn kind of fountain drink that you could possibly want — including an Icee machine that you can fill with your own flavor choice (!) and some kind of ice cream shake machine. Unbelievably, they have some staples like a small selection of produce and an impressive selection of breads. They also have healthy car treats, packed in containers that fit into your cup holder. What haven’t they thought of?
The customer service is ridiculous too. You are always greeted by someone when you walk in. Do these people know that they work in a gas station? Every last one of them has been pleasant on every stop.
So, here… I’ve gone and reviewed a gas station and gave it 5 stars. And I don’t care because it’s pretty freaking cool, as far as gas stations go. Welcome to South City!

I was very pleased on my first visit. Great gas prices, HUGE selection of items in the store, very clean and very friendly employees.
