I purchased over 100 gallons of gas the stations premium gas in my boat it was very close to empty. The following day went out onto the lake of the woods and during the day had engine trouble and it would only running at low idle. The very next am I went to Lake of the Woods Marine and they serviced the boat and removed a few gallons of water! They also checked my air intake value to see if that was bad and water could have entered there no issues with it.
According to the marine shop and a friend who owned a gas station for years it was BAD GAS! I didn't contact Village One until on my way back 5 days later and approached Erik with my details. He was prompt about checking into this but very defensive from the start , Erik said they didn't have any meters reading indicating water in their gas and manual checked 5 days later. They did have someone come out and verified they didn't have water in their gas days later.
Long story short, I feel Erik was defensive that there wasn't water in their gas and never really addressing then HOW a boat that ran fine before I bought their gas and than after all the gas was drained and new gas put in it ran excellent for 4 full day.
My mistake I should have called them the next day, my big frustration was the attitude of the owners.
I've been a customer for over 20 years stopping on my way north fishing a few times a year NO longer
Buyer beware
My boyfriend and I stopped here for the night, parked just on the side, bought really good food, friendly service and atmosphere. Would definitely stop here again.
Making a stop at the Village One Stop in Kelliher is a family tradition! We’ve stopped here for years for gas (easy in, easy out of the pumps) and treats. The bathrooms are CLEAN and the entire store is well maintained. I feel like their gas and diesel prices are very competitive too. The staff is always friendly and helpful, plus they have everything under the sun in this store. It’s the perfect stop! Don’t miss out.
