What clients say about TA Travel Center in Tekonsha (MI)
morning staff was very rude on march 03 2026 Wasn’t greeted when I enter the establishment and it seemed as if helping me was a bother especially from women behind counter (Brandy) (Ericka). Hello Management it’s time to make some changes. either the come to jesus Talk or hire new people.
Tried to get fuel two cards declined, go next door to citgo same cards work fine there. One to pay for fuel at the pump and one for box def. Guy in front had issues with payments as well took all three computers to get one to go thru.
On 2/25/26 @ 0630. I went in to use the restroom and buy a drink. The young cashier was nice but the older lady is really rude and takes offense at everything even when not talking to her.
The situation, Michigan does not charge sales tax on food related items. Unless its prepared food (ie. Mcdonalds/ Applebee's/Papajohns). I bought a soda here and they charged sales tax. I was told I could wait an hr to get my money back for the manger to come in. I decided I wanted my money back.
My understanding is the corporation that owns this store is charging everyone sales tax on all food items. So that means if all TA/Petro's in michigan are charging sales tax that means that the corporation is pocketing a lot of money illegally.
On I side note if my understanding from the employees is correct. The manager at this location is trying to get that fixed
Be aware just stopped there and they CANNOT sell tobacco,lottery or anything like that that they need a license for. Cashier said they currently don’t have a license to sell that stuff but wouldn’t say why.
what's wrong with the truck repair line i called once they picked up after telling me i had to get to a parking lot i got there called back no one answered so I got forward to another line they tryed to call in they still didn't pick up i was about 10 minutes away
Fueled diesel 60 gallons no free coffee.
Ericka (the lady with mustache ?) tried to charge me twice for the coffee.
And she smells bad ?.
Rather go to pilot next time if i have to pay for the coffee.
UPDATE: As of yesterday, October 15, 2025, this specific TA has been officially the cleanest and best organized that it's ever been!
We've been stopping there quite frequently for the last year or so, and as of yesterday, these particular (new) employees have been keeping the truck stop in the best shape ever! Those people deserve a raise!
Clean and organized place. No restaurant, but the employees seem to be very much on top of the restrooms, which is greatly appreciated.
I was recommended by a buddy to get my truck’s PM completed by the mechanic named Allen. I’m so glad I took his recommendation. Allen was thorough & knowledgeable. He went over everything he did & he also gave me a heads up concerning upcoming possible repairs. The front desk attendant, Angel, was polite and cheerful as well. I would most definitely come back to this location for services. Thanks guys!
Travel Centers of America should be ashamed ?. Almost 20 dollars for a sandwich and half a container of Goulash... absolutely ridiculous...Apparently the restaurant has been closed for 3 years. Highway robbery..
Went to this ta on 10/12/24 to buy a trucker gps valued at 700 dollars. The clerk was not knowledgeable about product but that was ok. The problem I have was with the rudeness which caused me to leave without buying anything. I guess my money is not green enough.
I had a terrible experience with the clerk. Her name was Ladonna. She had the worst attitude, and gave dirty looks the entire time. This has happened about 4 times now. Every time I've run into her at the cashier, it's been a bad experience.
Older but very spacious travel center with a spacious parking lot. The store has all necessities, not only snacks and coffee but as well small
stand with stuff for truckers. You can find there straps, gps devices, headphones and much more…
They have as well some Michigan gift stand with hats, T-shirts and hoodies.
In the building is TV room with few chairs, where you can charge your devices while watching movies or games.
Bathrooms and showers are older but clean and well maintained. The shower costs $16 (27.April.2023). Ladies working there were nice and helpful.
The parking lot is by the fields and close to the nature so I enjoyed the walk. Good place to stretch your legs and body after many hours of driving.
It’s a decent place, friendly staff. They didn’t have much in the way of hot “on the go” foods out. Restaurant isn’t open. Floors could use a mopping in bathroom. Toilet kinda funky. My biggest problem is that there were a couple packs of meat just sitting out on sink next to fountain machine- Thats something that needs attention like ASAP! I woulda rated an extra star had that meat not been sitting out.
Super clean showers, this is the cleanliness truckers deserve. The shop had me in and out for a tire. No restaurants here but a subway, McDonald's and dollar general across the street.
Plenty of parking available lot next to empty at night
We stopped to use the bathroom and get some snacks on our way home from the Detroit area.
The staff was very friendly, bathrooms are clean and well stocked, and the store is clean, well lit, aisles are clear of stock and easy to maneuver. Items seem to be well stocked. Their prices are similar to other travel gas station stores.
10/2/22 9:00pm
Sunday night, plenty of parking.
Employees super helpful and cool.
Smallish shower stalls but 10/10 for water pressure and steaming hot water - that's all I need.
Very clean washers and dryers also a huge plus - $3 for each CC only.
On a Sunday night plenty of parking.
Also sell a pretty rad travel thermos.
Thanks y'all ?
Do not!!!! Go to TA they did the first PM on my 2022 freightliner cascadia the very next day my truck is broke down the tech did not know what he was doing he kept calling a more experienced tech. I felt that he should not have to call anyone working on a 180k truck. So when I called the manager sherry said I should have called TA I said I did they never answered the phone. I’m thinking it’s my low air pressure sensor. Not thinking it was TA s fault. When roadside arrives he goes under the hood my main airline bolt is loose I’m still not thinking it’s TA but the tech called his supervisor took pictures he said that would not come loose someone had to mess with it I got hit with a $533.30 invoice after a $500.00 pm the tech said you should contact the TA rest assured the tech denied touching this part. I will never buy anything from TA the manager said it has 22k miles on it. It could have vibrated loose from the factory you should call them. “Passing the buck” please be careful where you take your equipment and vigilant this was a costly mistake for me not to mention on was on the Ohio 80/90 turnpike when this occurred. Safe travels please don’t let this shop service your truck unqualified people working there in my most humble opinion. Btw the tech put his greasy hands all over my new truck. And I even tipped him $20
The virus has shut down so many places but thanks to the dedication and steadfast, hard-work of Paula, the GM and the other good employees at TA 243, we travelers continue to have clean bathrooms, warm meals and a safe place to rest. Next time you have multiple options of fast food joints, opt to support with your dollars the TravelCenters of America.
Awesome people and great food at Boston Market, Burger King every one was so nice.Do need a handicap PARKING closer to door I'm in wheelchair and it's a long ways to the door.But I enjoyed my self we had fun.
Decent truck stop. Clean. Empty semi parking spots even at midnight (probably due to lack of truck traffic on I-69 in Southern Michigan) Showers are pricey at $15. Most other places I’ve showered are $12 and I’ve even come across a couple of $10 showers. The shower itself is enclosed with a curtain and too small for the shower head installed! Other than that it is your typical TA truck stop. Would’ve gotten 5 stars if showers weren’t $15 a piece in an awkwardly small shower area.
Stopped in while on a road trip. Standard truck stop fare. Lotsa breakfast items. I had the Arizona Ranch Jalapeno Burger* with Tater Tots. Burger was pretty good and the Tots were just right. Everybody else had breakfast and no complaints.
It's descent, lots of parking spots. Came here for a pm on the truck, laundry and shower.
Lots of spots at 0500, and laundry has a credit/ debit card reader! First I've seen of that so that's nice. You can also get texts for when your load is done. Be ready to spend $2.50 per load though.
