Service station is a term with different meanings in different parts of the world:

  • Filling station, in the Australia, United States, Canada, France and New Zealand, a gas/petrol station that also may offer such services as oil change and mechanical repairs to automobiles
  • In the United Kingdom, it refers to much larger facilities, usually attached to motorways or major trunk routes, which provide food outlets, large parking areas, and shops — see rest area or motorway service area
  • In some cases, a service station can refer to a mini-branch, where only core services are offered through minimal resources.
