Clean, tidy, the staff are friendly and helpful. Good food and great coffee.
I normally stop here instead of BP Drury or BP Pukekohe because it's usually 6c to 10c cheaper per litre of 91 octane gas.
Takanini is a pretty tough area at the moment and is being gentrified with new housing developments and new shopping centres.
The large chain stores have evacuated their stores from Papakura township north to Takanini's shopping hubs.
There are still pockets of resistance to progress. Manuroa Road, parts of Porchester Road and Rountree Place are not the places to be at night...or the weekend.
This BP is quite handy for its location. It is also far enough from the areas resistant gentrification so as to predominantly preclude the kind of volume crime that is prevalent in Papakura and Manurewa.
The handy location also sees Police from Papakura and from the Manurewa Police Stations refill at this petrol station whether that is because they're making their way to and from priority call outs when covering their neighbouring Police area.
All in all, a recommended stop...just make sure you don't leave your car unlocked with a handbag or purse in plain view on the front seat. read more
