It's unfortunate that "full service" has come to mean just pumping your 
gas.  It used to mean: pump gas, clean the windshield and rear window, 
check the tire pressures all around (if not hot) and check the oil and 
all other fluid levels... battery too in the days before sealed cells. 
Service with a smile and S&H Green Stamps too! Thirsty?  Have a green 
glass bottle of Coke for a nickel while you wait.  :-)

You could also drop off your K25 at the drugstore next door and it 
didn't have to go all the way to Dwayne's.  :-)
