As everyone has said...this place is a 24 hour lifesaver. It has a great range of essential grocery…read moreitems, like chocolate and ice cream, and always smells like that awesome Subway freshly cooked bread (probably because that resides in the On The Run). Isles are well organised and this place is always clean and fresh. Unfortunately anytime I am here during the day to get petrol the service is painfully slow, yet friendly and with a smile. I have never had the EAT or DRINK options here (aptly named) but they don't look that bad. I would probably prefer to actually pick one of their pre-cooked meals or frozen meals from their freezer section though anyway! On The Run is great for petrol but more so for 10pm at night emergencies of the chocolate craving kind.
For some bizarre reason, it can be really hard for a visitor to Adelaide to do any shopping in the…read moreevening. I mean, the last experience that I had with a supermarket in Adelaide was one that was closing up at 6pm, and I'd arrived just in time to see the doors locked. I mean, seriously? Major supermarket closing at 6pm? In a major suburb? I was pretty incredulous, and after spending eight hours in the car, I was pretty buggered. But I needed stuff, and so ended up spending another half hour looking for a place to shop. That's when I stumbled upon this place. It's a service station, but it appears to be the only place where you can get any shopping done when it gets late. They don't have heaps of stuff, but they've got the essentials. They also have the service station mark up prices, so it's not a good idea to buy everything you need here. It's good to know though, that if I need it, it's there.
On the Run Erindale

There's not much I can say about this petrol station, other than it has exceptional customer…read moreservice. I don't mean the standard level of friendliness you'd expect to experience at any other store; the staff at BP Erindale has some of the nicest people I know. The range of items available in store isn't extensive, but adequately meets your basic needs. The prices are above those of nearby supermarkets, but they do have the occasional special deal (usually on canned drinks or snacks). As part of the On The Run franchise, this service station is open 24 hours a day. As such, it's a convenient place to go when there's nothing else open and you're either suffering from junk food cravings, have run out of milk or bread, or are desperately in need of toiletries and personal care items. When I'm low on petrol, regardless of where I am, I'll do my best to hold off on buying fuel before I reach Erindale. The reason I do this is because it's an absolute pleasure talking to the staff. Even in the early hours of the morning, when people are expectedly at their grumpiest, the employees here are always in high spirits. On many occasions I've had long, meaningful chats with the people behind the counter and they've shared some great stories. I'm equally happy to converse and provide some human interaction, as I can't imagine working the graveyard shift at a petrol station would be overly exciting. If you're lucky and you go while Yogesh is working, stick around and have a chat with him - he's an excellent guy and he'd be thankful for making his day a little more interesting!

To this date I have only run out of fuel once, and most of the time, it is thanks to EZY Fuels on OG road and its locality half way between my place and my parents! Although this is one of my local servos I would travel further if required to get here for two reasons. Firstly it is one of the two cheapest stations in town (the other directly across the road). The second reason is that it is under independent ownership, one of very few around the city. Once in a while there is a story on the local news about the price war between this station and it's rival across the way, and they are consistently the cheapest around...so make sure if you are in the area and need to fill up, get on the local boy.

They always seem to be having choccy specials here, which are impossible to resist at the hours (in the middle of the night) I find myself here. Even though by the next morning I've worked out that my special deal cost me double what I'd pay at the supermarket - damnit! For those looking, I get the vibes here that it's quite the pick-up place, you'll see many furtive glances in the direction of you or other patrons. In a nutshell - Adelaides version of it happened one night!

The coffee is better than most petrol stations (it's not great but it's good when you're they're for a quick snack and pick-me-up). Service is always really nice and they have a fairly well-stocked grocery/convenience section.

Shell Roadhouse

As far as eating on the highway goes, this is OK. There is a great range of food from pre-made…read moresandwiches to your usual fried delights and hamburgers sponsored by your local cardiac surgeon, to hot roast meat rolls. What lets this place down is the staff. They can't handle service smoothly when it is busy, and this is quite frequently, especially over summer and the school breaks. Their systems and processes are disjointed and the staff get surly. Nothing flows and quite frequently your order is wrong or takes forever. I would call this a major issue because the prime purpose of a roadhouse is to deliver food reasonably quickly and efficiently. We aren't looking for Michelin Stars just old fashioned country service delivered well. Why do I keep going? The service station it is attached to is very good - the opposite in fact. Efficient service, friendly staff. I use the service station more than I use the roadhouse, so grabbing a bite to eat here is an easy option.
Yeah, I know, this is a service station, and I've noticed that people generally don't Yelp about…read moreservice stations at all. However, this isn't your ordinary, everyday city service station because it also contains a roadhouse - the Coolabah Tree Cafe. Actually, the roadhouse isn't all that fantastic, and I wouldn't expect good coffee, or a fancy breakfast offering if you stop by here because, well, it's a truckstop. So, the question if why do I come here? Well, as it turns out when we drive to Melbourne we always stop here. In fact I can't remember a time when we have simply driven past, or gone to one of the other places. Sure, it isn't fantastic, but at least I know I can get a decent breakfast.

I love what they're doing with this place!…read more THE PETROL IS ALWAYS CHEAP. It's not uncommon for the petrol to be cheaper here than down in town. So yeah, it's a service station, but there's so much more! Staff are cheerful and helpful and the opening hours are long (i.e. they don't shut up shop at 5pm). The coffee is pretty good, generally better than Millies up the road who used to hold the crown for best coffee in Nairne (I don't bother going back there anymore). They also bake some of their own goods which are tasty and well priced. There's a mini convenience store in there as well with the basic necessities. BIG HINT - prices are cheaper here than up the road at the Nairne Store. And they're not much more than you'd pay at the big supermarkets at Mount Barker. I was quite shocked at how cheap they were. All in all this is a local business that's isn't just worth supporting because they're local, they're actually extremely good value for money (in many ways I think they're cheaper than they need to be), friendly service and lovely quality produce.

I have a few young men in my life who care about their cars. They have all said positive things about Maxi Tyres and I went along to check what I had been told. Yes they are friendly. Yes they seem to be able to do jobs quickly without it being more expensive than you would think, or they quote, and the place is pretty big. Nice guys, fair prices.

On my return from holiday I noticed that the cooling water is not tapped as well and asked them to fill in the water. surprisingly this time they forgot to put the cooling water cap in its place and I noticed this after one week and the water was below minimum level this time. Fortunately enough the cap was still there trapped between the engine wires and I could fix it by myself.
Don't want to pay for a taxi to get to the airport? Do you want the ease of driving your own car…read morehome after your trip? Angry at the Airport for charging too much for their long term carpark out in the sun? Well, well, well... aren't you in for a surprise. Andrews solves this problem and more. Yes... more! You can feel assured that your car will be kept safe in a secure lot. You have the option of having your car parked outside (cheaper) or inside the warehouse (only a fraction more in price). And guess what? You can pay extra to have your car cleaned and serviced while you are away. Say whhhaaa? What an awesome idea and a lovely way to return to your car. This carpark service is not too far from the airport. The best part of the service is that you get shuttles to and from the airport. It's really easy. When you arrive back home all you need to do is call Andrew's and they will send a van to pick you up right away. The other thing to note is that the staff here are really friendly and helpful. They helped me put my bags in the car and had a great chat to and from the airport. Love it when you get that kind of customer service. I am really impressed with this business. Great option if you need your car straight after your flight.

They…read morenot only supply petrol, drinks and snacks from a servo perspective but the complex also houses Happy Wash, Brumbies Bakery, Wok in a Box and Subway. Very cool one stop servo to buy those last minute camping trip supplies that you've forgotten about only the previous day at the supermarket. It's also great for milk, bread.....and smokes (if you're into self inflicted bodily harm). Sorry but I don't: - buy petrol from here as I think they don't offer cheap prices and I don't want yet another discount card taking up room in the wallet. (Besides I'm happy my local Caltex and Woolworths connections (no matter how contrived). - Or Wok in a Box, personally I don't like the taste. As I've mentioned before 'each to their own'. But I do like: - Happy Wash :-) This is a valuable service which I think is not too expensive even for a four wheel drive. So what I do is make a booking the day before, get up early on a Sunday morning, be there by 9am, hand over the keys, have my Happy Wash rewards card stamped, get a free complimentary coffee, buy myself a healthy apricot bun for breakfast and The Age, sit myself down and wait happily whilst my car gets a complete make over. Note: At the end of the Happy Wash stamps you get a freebie. - Brumbies Bakery, nice and tasty and good coffee. - Subway make a good sandwish/roll and is a reasonably healthy option and a convenient quick lunch or dinner. The staff I have encountered have always been friendly and quick, some are not so happy but who is that early in the morning!
I call this the mother of all petrol stations in the southern suburbs and it's no secret, one of my…read morefavourite's. On The Run on St Marys, South Road is one of the 80 retail convenience locations in Adelaide. Founded in 1984 by Preregrine Corporation, it is truly a service coated with quality, and makes a model business plan for other businesses to follow. Boasting a large premise on site, patrons don't have to queue long before they get access to the pump. You can feel the energy in this servo, as men religiously wash their cars at Happy Wash, family gather to pick pastries and bread at C Cafe and Brumby's respectively, and school kids form a line for their glass of Chill. The 24 hour supermarket is top notch, for working mums who need a quick pit stop of groceries or for a quick dessert pick me up. Expect quality brands here with the likes of Subway, Wok in a Box and SmokeMart. Other services include an ATM and trailer hire. Like them on Facebook to get promo's on their products.
Ok, carpark review... you must be thinking... "oh how boring!" Well, no it isn't. We all use them…read moreand I know that you want to know where all the cheap ones are. Yup, this is cheap one for after-hours. Uparks have always been my go to in the CBD. As I have said in previous reviews, I choose to park here as the Adelaide City Council owns them and the money goes back to the city rather than a private company. This car park has great afterhour rates. As of the date of this review you can park here after hours for $7 flat fee: Mon - Thurs 4pm - 6am Fri 4pm - 12am Sat - 12am - Sun 12am Sun - 12am - Mon 6am It is not centrally located in the CBD, but really doesn't take that long to walk up either Currie or Hindley street to hit King William. Oh, do note that you will need to enter this carpark from the Morphett Street Entry. So, go around Light Square if you need to manoeuvre. The car parks are well spaced, but this is only a one story car park. So it does fill up quite fast. Worth checking for a space though due to the rates. Just a little heads up for the ladies parking here. Bring a friend with you when you park here at night. I have sometimes seen some interesting characters sheltering in here. I've never had any trouble, but better be safe! Apart from that, I park here very regularly and do recommend it as a cheap option if you are hitting down during the night!

The counter top is the front of an old ford, the table tops have engineering plan/ motor mappy looking thing under glass, they have a map of the Adelaide hills framed on the wall which looked to me, with the aid of a white board marker is used for motorists to get there where-abouts. The outdoor dining area is really Pretty while the inside dining is very much setup as a motor enthusiast shed, come man cave, come quaint cafe and it totally works!! The coffee and food was really good to-boot (? Is that the right word, not sure... But you get the idea). The Throttle Shed has that tucked away feeling but it's actually not very far off Main North Road at all. They seem to have their regulars as others that came in to the cafe all seemed quite familiar with each other which just added to the overall pleasantness. My husband and I were really glad we stopped to check this place out. Ps. They also appear to be open every day except Tuesdays. (They were even open on Christmas Day according to the signage we saw).

When we first arrived a very nice staff member came over and asked if we needed help but then wasn't pushy when we said we were just looking. Being with my boyfriend we inevitably ended up looking at the car stereos and then he started on a conversation with one of the male staff about a problem he was having with his sub. The guy was very knowledgeable and asked him lots of questions to determine the cause of the problem. We left the store with a better idea of how to fix it and although we didn't buy anything they were still friendly to us.
The Bridgewater Servo, also known as "Joe's" and "Boschie's" by affectionate locals is among the…read morebest of the truly independent service stations left in the hills. One of the main selling points is Joe's uncanny ability to ignore the 'fuel discount cycle,' somehow managing to be a good ten cents a litre cheaper when other petrol stations are at the peak of the cycle. If you're used to the glossy, fluorescent big name petrol stations, it may look a little drab, inside and out, but a business doesn't stay this busy by accident. Maybe, with servos at least, looks really aren't everything.
