Which is better — mini or full?
Important question: What’s the difference between
self, mini, and full service at the gas pump?
This industry jargon confuses me.
I’m pretty smart. I know self service means you pump
your own gas, and full service means you can sit in
your car like a lazy bum while they pump for you.
But what is mini service?
Do they pump and I check oil? Do I pump and they
check oil? Do we both pump and no one checks oil?
Who checks the tires? Do I pay at the pump or inside?
Very stressful, that mini service!
If I owned a gas station, I’d print a sign that said:
Full service:
We pump your gas for you
We check your oil FREE
We check your tire pressure FREE
We check your fluid levels FREE
We wash your windows FREE
