An air and water machine is available but it will only pump things up to 80psi.
I believe this to be a lie as on one of the occasions I was allowed to use the toilet that very night by another member of staff who informed me that there had been nothing wrong with the toilet. I have been using this garage for years, refuelling and using the toilet without any problems.
A small filling station with a maximum capacity of about four cars at once. So it's advisable to take a quick glance at the station to see if it's full of cars before turning into it, or else you will find yourself blocking the main road.
The Fuel Types
They have both petrol and diesel obviously but there are two types of unleaded; the normal unleaded and another type with a higher percentage of octane.
In a nutshell, higher octane just prevents your vehicle engine from premature combustion. In other words, it prevents your vehicle engine from knocking. Hope that helps.
Tire Pressure and Water
The position of the water and tire pressure machine is located at the front, on the left and inline with the filling of fuel.
You can fill petrol or diesel in your vehicle and then move forward to gauge your tire pressure by paying a minimum of 50 pence for 4 minutes and you can just pay with your phone using GPay or with your contactless card...easy peasy! Note that it also takes 10 and 20 pence, and 1 pound coin.
Note that your hands will get dirty if you pull the hose with your bear hand. I did this and my hands got dirty and just water may not clean it because it's kind of black and oily. So I went into the store to look for something I can use to wipe my hands but couldn't find any.
Filling the Fuel
Fill your fuel safely. I like to keep an eye on both the fuel price and the amount of fuel while some people may keep an eye on the fuel litres or just the fuel price. Whichever one is preferrable to you, the most important is to keep an eye on one or both of them while filling your vehicle fuel tank to prevent spending more than you can afford.
Paying for Fuel
The convenience store (just at the front which your car should be facing) where you pay for fuel, is very tight inside with little space for 2 persons to queue and pay.
