Warwick Ave Coastal

time
service
This is a crummy looking little gas station and garage right on Warwick Ave. No Dunkin Donuts, no Subway and no convenience store. Just a two bay garage and a couple of stinky pumps.
What makes this place so special is the service. It is full service and even if it is pouring or snowing someone runs out and pumps your gas. The incredible thing is that they are always extremely pleasant and friendly about it. Always a hello or how ya doing.
Last week it was raining and I was too damn lazy to get out and pump myself so I stopped here. The guy was his usual pleasant self and then looked down at one of my tires and told me it looked low. He said to pull over to the side and he would check it. Sure enough my truck had a tire that was about 10 pounds low. So, still in the pouring rain he put the air in. Damn! I’m so use to shitty service I actually felt guilty about what he was doing.
I’ve never had any repairs done here but something tells me with service like that they probably are ridiculously honest.
Certainly not much to look at but this place reminds me of the long forgotten service stations of 30 or 40 years ago. It’s a rare and pleasant anachronism. A reminder of a simpler life now just a fading memory.
