2 of the 5 entries could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 2 of those are currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, but not on the map.

2 of the 5 have a Google rating, averaging 4.7 across 296 reviews. Scores run from 4.5 to 4.8.

What the rules require

Rutherfordton: questions

Where can I find stations in Rutherfordton, NC?
5 stations in Rutherfordton are on the official list: Cowan Tire of Rutherfordton at 680 South Main St; Harris Automotive LLC at 2121 64/74 Hwy; Ellenburg.S Used Cars at 120 Lawing Mill Road, and 2 more listed above.
What is the nearest option outside Rutherfordton?
Curtis Automotive in Forest City, about 3.3 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.
How many stations are there in Rutherford county?
40 in Rutherford county and 5,880 across North Carolina.
Are these stations currently licensed?
The state register these records come from publishes no license dates. Each of these 5 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 27, 2026. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the source register is a license, not a business. 1 of the 5 entries on this page hold more than one class of license at the same address. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the place rather than on the license, so one business is one listing and every class it holds is shown in its record detail.
How many are rated?
2 of 5 have a Google rating, averaging 4.7 across 296 reviews.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
2 of these 5 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.
