Full Service Please
“Fill it Up”
I seem to be a part of a dying breed of people that prefer and even expect “full service” when buying gasoline. I am so stubborn about this that I absolutely will not pump my own gas! It is becoming a tougher and tougher task to just find a place willing to serve you. I have a perfect record by the way; I have yet to pump it once.
Cosmo-Yajima
If you live in Honolulu, please check out the Cosmo-Yajima SERVICE station at the corner of King and Keaumoku. You will experience true service the way it should be. Besides gas, ask for a hand wash and watch them work out. I actually look forward to needing gas, just to go there. We see too many overweight, overpaid “service station” attendants sitting on their backsides watching people in business suits pump their own gasoline, and then fork over an unreasonable amount of money for it. I have even seen some places that charge you for water and air, and you need to put it in yourself.
The Works
When I pull into a “service station” and say, “Fill it up”, I want a tank of gas as well as my tires, water and oil checked along with all of my windows cleaned. I find the places willing to provide this service, like Yajima are always busy. HELLO!

I would like a station that offers the Hydro-Fill, once every six month tire pressure treatment. Do you have that in your tires? Lasts longer so you don’t have to do it every month.

Ron, Thanks for turning me on to Cosmo. Yes, the car wash costs more than at other places, but never has my car been in better hands. It’s well worth the extra $5.00. The employees are competent, spirited, and cheerful too.

Cosmo is great! That other big carwash near downtown is downright scary!
