Talk:Service station

From my experience of living in the United Kingdom for 30 yerars, the term "Service Station" is seldom used. The normal terms are "Services" when referring to "Motorway Service Areas" (referred to as MSAs in Department of Transport jargon) or a "garage" when refering to a retail outlet that sells fuel as a principal line of business and motoring accessories and /or food as a secondary line of business.

Any comments, especially from Britons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinvl (talk • contribs) 12:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not in the UK, but would expect a service station to be a filling station with an attached repair garage - sadly, a dying breed these days as fuel companies find an overpriced convenience store filled with sugary junk food and a large number of self-serve pumps to be a more profitable combination. The word "service" is long gone from these stations; most no longer offer free air for your tyres as no repair facility means no existing compressed air on site. The motorway stop might be a "service centre" (for instance, www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/service-centres) but not a service station as most vendors haven't provided repairs at these sites for decades. This page should be redirected to filling station#Service stations as the rest area is a service centre, not a service station. K7L (talk) 00:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
