I tend to go out of my way to fill up petrol here, when the time comes. I do tend to drive for as…read morelong as possible when the light comes on but thankfully I haven't run out of petrol for a few years (touch wood!). I must admit, the handful of times it has happened it's been pretty embarrassing sitting by the side of the road waiting for rescue and having to acknowledge that I knew I was running out and kept driving anyway ... surely I'm not the only person who does this?! Anyway, I digress. I know this petrol station well, they have a good selection of newspapers/magazines, drinks and snacks and the staff are friendly. It's not really the most modern petrol station and could do with a refurb on the inside. All in all though, when I stop here I can refill quickly and easily and get on the road again.

This is a perfectly decent garage on Old Mearns Road. I actually forget this one is here and find…read moremyself going to the two garages on Ayr Road instead. This one can be handy if you're looking for a car wash as it's a lot bigger than the car wash at Mears Cross, but I guess it depends on what you're after. It also does fuel and the shop inside has a decent selection. There's a cash machine out the front.

Staff act like its a hassle serving customers - Rude, Unhelpful and lazy!…read more Rudest staff ever - the big fat woman who works behind the till needs to brush up on her customer service skills as she is unhelpful , rude and bloomin' lazy! Been in a few times to post parcels and ask for help and the old guy who works there is just as rude and unhelpful , I guess they must be married, it would explain their misery! I personally would not buy petrol from here now after my experiences at the miserable till so just drop-off parcels - in the odd occasion I am able to!!! Add to that the drop-off parcel boxes are always broken or the keyboard does not work on the screen when you find the thing wont scan any of your parcel QR codes or barcodes - I think I got it to work once but it is a joke like the no-customer service. It is, as if it is a hassle serving the public and doing what you are paid for!

I suppose this is ok, as far as petrol stations go. It's pretty big and is situated just off of a…read moremain road which connects to one of the largest roundabouts in the South Side. Hence, it's handy, well used and serves it's purpose extremely well. The prices aren't great - but then nowadays etc etc etc...- though they aren't too extortionate. Meanwhile, the attached shop is a decent size and has all the usual bits and bobs. This is useful for the last minute buys on the way home: teabags, late night pot noodles, pick me up chocolate and, of course, a cheap bunch of flowers to take along to Sunday lunch at the folks.
