The Mexican place has limited hours. I haven't tried it yet, but when I do, I will write a review. The convenience store and the gas is open 24 hours. There is a post office here, but there is no counter service. It's primarily. P.O. Box and mail pick up by local residents. They do have a 24 hour mail drop, with pick up in the early morning. The convenience store is nice. It's clean, and the people are friendly. I like the decorations in the store. It has your usual. Beer, wine, food, snack, snacks, sundries, and it also has a small hardware section, which a good amount is winter gear. It has a small but nice souvenir section as well. Prices are pretty typical on some items, and then on others, they are a bit higher. I got an amazing beef jerky, and the price was reasonable for what I got They do sell chains in the winter time, but believe me, you are going to pay for them. There's plenty of parking, including truck and RV parking. There's also a popular snow park in the winter time. The elephant in the room, is, of course, the gas prices. You are pretty much in the middle of nowhere, with only a few gas stations in the immediate area, so you are definitely going to pay for gas. The best thing to do is fill up in Sacramento, Auburn, or Reno. The gas in Colfax and Truckee is a bit higher, but still well below what they charge here. I like this store. I will be back. Thank you.

DO NOT BUY SNOW CHAINS FROM THEM - SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES…read more Rude, shady business practices. stopped on our way to Reno, NV and employees were telling everyone there was a chain control ahead. It was very busy and they were pushing sales of their snow chains. My mistake was listening in the first place. Bought the chains, $140. First tensioner broke, had it exchanged. They were happy to exchange that... put chains on and drive off. @25mph 5 miles down the road, one of the chains break. To make matters worse, there was no chain control. We all were dupped. Returned to at least exchange the chains for a nonbroken set. Was rudely told off, rude employee even tried to tell me how business works, even though I have a business degree. Points to a VERY tiny sign that says all sales final. Looked up price of the chains we bought, $50. Figures. Shady business, creating panic to sell a cheap item with a 200% mark up then hide behind a small sign that no one can see so they can keep all the money. I just want an exchange so i can actually use what i paid for. But now i would be happy with a refund as i never want to see these shady excuses of human beings again. OH, she even stupidly admitted in front of other customers that here have been several other customers complaining about their chains breaking after a short drive.

Honestly, I'm not too surprised I'm the first person to review Donner Gas. It's a rather…read morenondescript gas station just south of the Soda Spring exit on I-80, 13 miles west of Truckee. It's owned by the Wells family who also own the Nyack Shell. Why do I know so much? Last week, I was stranded there for over six hours waiting for a tow from AAA when my car broke down. (As an aside, AAA didn't come for 11 hours-- thanks for nothing). It was quite cold in my car, so I took frequent breaks inside the store. This is what I learned: *Donner Gas has a core group of people who are very nice and care about their jobs. They keep a very clean and well organized shop. *Bathrooms are accessed from the outside, and unlocked. You don't have to fuss with a pesky key. *The store has a variety of healthy food. Interspersed with the typical junk food are cheese sticks, raw nuts, cereal, bananas, and a selection of fresh salads and sandwiches. They also have some frozen meals (eg: burritos) and a handy microwave for defrosting your lunch. In other words, you can eat well if you want to! *Store also sells a variety of household and automotive items-- wine openers, motor oil, Tahoe souvenirs. *There is a large heater in the back that you can stand next to and warm up. Mostly, the staff were very welcoming and accepting of me and my teenage son. I appreciate that they let me hang around their store for so long! The store is also called "Sugar Bowl gas" for reasons I don't quite understand. Hope you get to drop by, but not because you have been stranded for hours.
