A L Prime Energy

This is a review for the gas at this location. Have never used a mechanic here.
My car takes premium gas — meaning I can put in regular but typically would get 5mpg less on the highway (and it’s also not good for a car with a turbo). Well I’m in the area and gas up here before a multi-​hour trip out of state because it’s the cheapest by far in basically all of Boston. I guess you get what you pay for. The premium gas here gave me terrible mileage on the highway compared to what I’m used to (and compared to the EPA rating). And it wasn’t my car because I ran it to E, filled up in western mass on the pike on the way back, and my mpg’s immediately jumped up by 5 – 6. Pay the extra 5 – 10 cents a gallon and go to the Hess or Sunoco down the street. I’m now leery of going to any Prime station around Boston, as they always seem to be priced aggressively for gas.

Been getting my car serviced here for two years. They’re reasonable, trustworthy and good at what they do. Owner is a female business owner which is unusual and a plus in this industry. Ask for José, he will not steer you wrong. Highly recommended!

First off. its a gas station, but I feel compelled to write a positive review for them.
I get my inspection done here since its just up the street from Lein’s Auto. The staff is relatively friendly, but they get this review for their awesome ability to keep track of who’s in line.
I pulled up, only to find that there was a wait for the inspection. I filled up my gas tank (full service and relatively cheap), navigated around the very crowded lot to find a place to wait the 5 minutes. Pulled back around when I saw the car coming out of the inspection bay, only to be cut off by an SUV thinking it was his turn.
The mechanic very politely explained to the driver that I was in fact first, and waived me in. I’ve seen this scene turn ugly so quickly and so many times, it warranted mention on Unilocal.Good customer service really can make a difference.
I would appreciate it if they could have some snacks or other items for sale in the office, but it really is a gas station/​repair shop, and I could just wander next door for pizza…
Oh yeah, when my last car failed because of a dim bulb, they almost seemed apologetic, and never even suggested they would fix it. I really don’t worry at all about being ripped off during inspections here.
