Mortlake Service Centre is the only petrol station in the Mortlake/ Cabarita/ Concord triangle, and as such, its prices are a lot higher than your nearest BP or Shell.
Generally, the petrol price at Mortlake Service Centre is ten cents more expensive than the average price. A little annoying, but you're paying for the convenience (of not having to drive the extra few minutes to Concord Rd).
If you have a long drive ahead of you, this is not the place to stock up on munchies. The variety is limited, to put it kindly.
Despite all this, I continue to fill up in Mortlake because the service is exceptional. A nostalgic atmosphere greets you as you drive up to the petrol pump. There's no need to get out of your car because a friendly gentlemen will be there before you can open the door, asking how your day has been, and how many liters you need, before filling it up himself.
Sometimes it's worth paying a few extra cents for exceptional, old-fashioned service! read more
