Vento

The Vento station on Vadul lui Vodă Street 21/3 lies on one of the roads linking Ciocana with the centre and the exit towards Vadul lui Vodă, so it is used both by locals and by people heading to the leisure area on the Dniester. Besides fuel, the shop sells hot snacks — hot dogs, pies, fries — and coffee.

Vento is a Moldovan chain of filling stations that promotes fuel quality, well-stocked shops and its Vento loyalty card; hauliers can pay with DKV cards and corporate customers have an online account.

Overall customers rate the station positively, but recent reviews are critical and almost all concern the food counter: long waits for hot dogs, no service during shift changes, food handled without gloves and pastries that are not always fresh. There was also a complaint about gas that was paid for but not filled, so it is worth checking the receipt and the fuel gauge before driving off.
