Petrol Stations in Australia

Petrol Stations and Garages

Many of the larger chain petrol station companies, such as Shell, BP and Caltex, offer trip planning services so you can know in advance where filling stations will be on your travel itinerary.

Finding Cheaper Petrol

One good way to find the cheapest petrol prices is by installing Google's Petrol Price Tracker Gadget. If you install it in on your Google homepage, it will give you the best available options once you have identified the brand of petrol you want and your location.

Restaurants and Garage Services

Auxiliary services that may be offered by a filling station may include car wash, restaurant or cafe, and a garage.

Some garages (particularly in country towns) may have a mechanic on duty for auto-repair, maintenance (such as checking tire air pressure, engine oil) and cleanliness services (e.g. car wash and windshield wipe service).

When choosing a petrol station, try and look for one that offers good value for money, the type of petrol needed for your vehicle and conveniently located outlets along your trip. For repair services, look for garages that are highly recommended by users here at Start Local.
