The Rebuilding Of A Petrol Station

[therock]

I eat at the Pasir Panjang hawker centre often, and the petrol stations across the road are my go to places to fill up, so it gave me an interesting opportunity to see the process of the rebuilding of the SPC station along the main road.

When they declared renovations and closure, with the distribution of vouchers, I figured it might just be a promotional thing to share vouchers, but I noted that the down time was almost three months, so something might be afoot and be of interest to MCF members..

This station has been here for a while, and retains the old colors and branding, so I guess the company decided to refresh the look. 

I was also keen to see if this station will be converted to a EV charging station too.. so stay tuned..

 

Firstly what it looked like before renovation:

And here we go!

The work began in mid May..

 

 

 

Some mysterious tanks - for the fuel I guess? They don't look like EV related stuff

 

Pouring of cement

Almost there

 

 

New cladding and signs

They should give you few months of exclusive discount for the effort in their rebuild pictorial documentation...discount as in priority to jump queue only hor...pay as per normal...😁

Nah... some days I walk in, the crew looking at me expectantly, and I parked the car only to get some bread or use the POSB machine haha... potong steam...

They gave vouchers when they closed, but for the reopening, hopefully they will do something too.. 

The tire shop here is decently priced..

Most car cam can do snapshot...finding the button to press while driving is a challenge though. That's why I use sport cam as car cam...much easier to snapshot xmm...i mean toardtard on expressway 😁

Got one time I drove to SPC Jervois and stopped at a pump station. 
When at the counter the cashier asked me which pump.
I said no petrol, I came to buy Mentos.
Then she told me next time I can go park there, or there, or there....
