Not All Car Owners Have Gasoline Fill Up Attendants
Dale Crandall of the Sinclair Station on North Marion Avenue notes about forty percent of local motorists request full tank fills while highway travelers nearly always top up. Patrons expect service beyond fuel with windshield cleaning and checks, though many skip extra checks for oil, water, tires, or batteries. Crandall emphasizes the station is a service station and welcomes radiator top ups and tire air even without a gasoline purchase.
