Fuel, Foot Traffic, and First Impressions: The Ultimate Guide to Petrol Station Maintenance

Let’s be real, most people don’t notice a clean service station. But they always notice a dirty one. Overflowing bins, sticky pump handles, grimy restrooms... That’s how you lose a customer before they’ve even swiped their card.

At Eaco, we help service stations and petrol stops across Australia turn “just a fuel stop” into a clean, safe, and surprisingly pleasant experience. We’re not just talking about wiping windows, we build smart, repeatable maintenance systems that make your site look sharp and run smoothly, every single day.

Whether you're managing one location or a national chain, this guide breaks down what needs cleaning and when to keep your station customer-ready, compliant, and ahead of the competition.

Why Petrol Station Maintenance Isn’t Optional

Petrol stations deal with more wear and tear in a day than most places see in a week:

Constant foot and vehicle traffic
Oil spills, fuel leaks, and airborne grime
Customers use bins, bathrooms, and vending zones around the clock

Without a clear cleaning schedule, it all adds up fast. And when things start slipping? So does your reputation. Regular maintenance isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about:

Customer trust
Safety and hygiene
Operational efficiency
Compliance with local health standards
