Comments
Deceptive
Pulled up for gas priced at $4.50 and a fellow shows up without being requested and helps me with the ladder. I fuel my plane and use the restroom and get my receipt. Got charged almost a buck a gallon higher because I got charged FULL SERVICE PRICE.
I will never do business here again.
