Where you get petrol or gasoline it is self service or people assist you

Wash Windows
Check Oil
Pump your petrol / gasoline for you

I remember daddy telling me about a time when they would pump your gas, wash the windows , vacuum the carpets and ash trays, check the oil, trans mission and break fluids and top them off if necessary , and inspect the distributor and plug wires. Then they inspected and cleaned the air filter and rotated it . He said it took15 minutes to “ get filled up” at the full service bays . Cost an extra Dollar . WOW !
@TexChik when I have my car serviced the dealer does all that for me and returns the car in A1 condition

I don't think there ARE full service gas stations anymore. It's self service everywhere you go.

@4meAndyou There are definitely none here.

I had a job as a forecourt attendant in 1971 - I can't remember when they disappeared in the UK; the cheapest fuel is from service stations where they don't even have cashiers - you put your bank card in at the pump.

Haven’t seen a full service gas station in years. Oregon is the only state where they won’t let you pump your own gas.

No one touches my car except me and my trusted mechanic. I fill my own fuel

Full service sort disappeared around 1990 here in the USA. I haven't even seen it in rural areas out of state. Like in Texas in the 2000s

Now I hear Oregon might have it still. But I haven't been there in decades.

@DeWayfarer I'm confused by your earlier response to the OP. According to what I've just been reading online almost everywhere else in the USA is now self-service.

@ArtieKat you're right. I meant Full service! Will correct that!
ArtieKat · M
@DeWayfarer That makes sense!

You gotta do that all yourself.
Musicman · 61-69, M
Strictly self service.

Self service, very few now assist here.

They don’t wash windows.

I noticed in Australia they do.

Self service for fuel, water, air. All have cameras now too as people were filling up and driving off.
I don't pump my own gas

I dont know of any full service stations in our area.😷
ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
Self-serve almost everywhere.
JovialMoose · 46-50, M
I have been driving for 25 years and I don't think anyone has ever assisted me.
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
I have to pump my own
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I only go to full serve stations cause I hate pumping my own gas. It doesn’t cost anymore here.

And they do all of those things
