Does anyone know of any petrol stations in Sheffield where someone actually puts the petrol in the tank for you rather than being self-service?

There is one in (North) Yorkshire somewhere, I remember turning off the A1 for local services and then going back in time 40 years.

They still have them in Italy, I'm not sure it's a good thing though.

I've not seen any here but I have come across them in Malta and France. In France a guy not only filled up the car he put air in all the tyres.

Some people might find it difficult to fill up, such as someone in a wheelchair without a passenger to help.

I've also noticed no end of people who are unable to get the cap off. :D

^^^ That's me. When I first passed my test I drove my mum's astra for a while, I struggled especially in the cold when it stuck and kind men would often come to my rescue! I once took the cap off and left it in the petrol station, drove off without it!

Well up until very recently (2/3 years ago), Sandygate Motors did this for you. It always felt a little embarrassing when the chap came out when you were fiddling with his pumps.

Now redeveloped for residential.

In Castleton on the far side of it (Manchester / A6 side) there is a petrol station there that does this IIRC.

Foxed me no end when I came out of my car and so did she from the shop area. When I realised I was so stunned mullet that there was one of those local-ish I nearly had to go have a lie down! :D

Most petrol stations have a sign that says 'sound your horn if you require assistance'.

I got this sort of service in the Highlands a few years ago - it completely foxed me, as I hadnt seen that done since my childhood. Never seen it in Sheffield.

The petrol station in Woodhouse used to do it. They took the pumps out a few years ago though.

Beighton Motors also used to do it before it became a franchised fuel garage.

That would be sweeeeeet, thing is if they got to pay another guy to do that then...price at the pump goes up, also, if he goes a few pence over you'd always get some tit like, "Ahh well I only said £10, soo...."

The petrol station at Dore is serviced.

One day a lady asked me at the petrol station if i could unscrew her cap for her, she was having trouble getting it undone...it turned out she was turning it the wrong way..AMAZING..!!

The one on Bradfield Road does but only on certain days at certain times!

Never seen it round here, happened to me in Menorca though....wondered what he was doing?!

Old thread fetched back again haha, Ive had help sofar at morrissons station in hillsborough and the petrol startion next to tankersley round about, all I had to do was beep my horn
