There are three petrol stations in about a 200 meter stretch on the Antrim Road and this one is a little bit different to the others. The other two are Maxol stations with modern Spar stores joint on whereas this garage is a little bit old school, with a smaller more personal local shop attached. There are six pumps here selling unleaded and diesel, they also have a vacum service as well as an air machine for altering the pressure in your car - the air machine takes coins (20p) so there's no need for tokens or to even go in to the shop if you wish to use this service.
The shop is paypoint friendly meaning you can top up your gas and electric here - they also serve a small selection of hot pastries and everything else you'd expect from a local corner shop. There's often great food deals on - the counter next to the checkout has the best bargains.
The staff are fantastic here, always ready for a chat and generally pretty chirpy! It's next door to a chippy and a chemist too! No ATM at this garage but they are okay about using card for smaller transactions!
Needs modernised slightly but does the job just fine! read more
