BP

All press set aside, BP is a gas station offering fuel at a reasonable price, and it’s just outside of Old Orchard Shopping Center. If you’re a Chicago resident, you can wait until some ungodly hour and drive over the boarder into Indiana; or fill up out in the suburbs if you work out that way. There are better gas stations in Skokie, but BP is conveniently situated right off of I94. Everywhere else I know of is kind of a traffic challenge to get there. If you don’t have the time, BP does in a pinch.
It would seem that the tiny garage at this BP is set up to do minor repairs to your vehicle, and perhaps oil changes. I have used BP for their air pump, and they will lend you a pressure gauge if you need one. One time my ex-boyfriend’s Mustang broke down and they allowed him to leave his car in that garage while he sorted out towing arrangements. I think he might have actually fixed his own car and went to get parts for it. Bottom line, the attendants here are always courteous.

These guys are the epitome of good service — to my car and me. They even drive me around the corner to my office and pick me up when they’re done.
I popped in today to have my headlight fixed, and they were able to do it in less than 10 mins while I waited.
