Texaco - Blackley Service Station is a decent petrol/service station in the Blackley area of…read moreRochdale Road, close to the Fire Station. The overall forecourt is modern and stands out, which is typical of Texaco, I also like how they have InPost lockers here, where you can pull up and park right outside, which is becoming a more popular method from many companies who offer returns, as InPost lockers offer quick and easy contactless returns. The petrol is a little bit more expensive compared to Tesco and Asda locations, both of which are a short drive around the road, and the shop area could do with a refurb even if it is just basic twitches, as that doesn't seem to have been improved in years. 3* - OK, useful stop along Rochdale Road but really could do with a refurbishment and slightly lower petrol pricing.

But indoors the mini supermarket is a useful spot for picking up those last minute forgotten items. For some reason though you can buy firewood! The chaps outside aka the rude boys are to be avoided and sadly most of them rent their vehicles from the car rental place down the road, which is obvious when you see how badly they drive.

Reasons why one would go to this shop/petrol station:…read more 1) To buy booze to take to a curry mile establishment with a BYOB policy 2) To show off a pumpin' automobile 3) To marvel at souped up cars 4) To take out cash Personally, I've only ever used it for reason 1, for which it was perfectly sufficient. As the others have mentioned, reasons 2 and 3 are strictly for bad boys and reason 4 costs you a couple of quid, so pop up the road to HSBC where you can access your hard-earned cash/student loan for free.

BP are one of the biggest names in garages and this is one of their best for faciliites, not just…read moreincluding Petrol, The Petrol prices are good but I wouldn't recommended filling up your tank here because compared to ASDA and Tesco, the prices are high but if you are passing through Rochdale on the motorway, this is very close to an exit so is better than paying prices at service stations, In this garage, they is a Starbucks, Spar shop, Ambala, Subway and Starbucks On The Go Machine so it is like a mini-service station without service station prices considering the facilities, The Starbucks store isn't the best but they still can make a nice coffee and sell some good memorabilia. One thing I do not like is, if you are coming down towards this garage, you have to go into a side street, wait at the lights and go back down the road if in the car, but to be honest it is just the way the road is set out, and it isn't the garages fault. The garage (not the Starbucks) is open 24 hours, 7 days a week so that is quite useful too. This store also has a Jetwash and Carwash and is one of the bigger BP garages, that does most things you would expect from some BP Garages so I do have to give 4 stars as this is probably one of the best BP garages in the North West. UPDATE: In November 2014 it seemed I run out of superlatives to describe this garage, and I can't help but feel having visited over 39 times now (the amount of check-ins I have in Yelp) I was in awe of this petrol station having a Starbucks, which is simply an average Starbucks with much higher pricing due to being a franchise store, with my drink costing 50p more in the worst of cases. I also feel the petrol prices at this petrol station is too high, even compared to other BP garages and a Tesco store, literally so close you could push your car to it, I can't help but feel I was far too generous when originally reviewing this place, and although I don't feel a new review is necessarily as there isn't much more to say, that I have not originally said, I still feel this BP branch only deserves a two star rating, and is around the middle of the two star scale at around a 2.4 or a 2.5.

Convinient in that this garage is open 24 hours a day but fuel and sundries are always overpriced…read more Staff generally grunt; there's never any 'please' or 'thank you's', let alone a few words put together like most people call a conversation.
