The Mobil service station on Whitaker Road, in Warkworth, will close its doors for nearly four months from June 12.
Agent Wilbert Vissers says the closure is part of a major underground replacement project at the garage, which will involve replacing all pipes, tanks and pumps.
“The building will stay, but everything else will be replaced,” he says. “This sort of project only happens every 30 to 40 years so it’s a big commitment for the future of Warkworth.”
The eight staff employed at the station will undergo training opportunities during the closure. Vissers says he is looking forward to the work being done.
“Whitaker Road is a consistent and solid location for the station, giving locals a handy and fast place to fuel up.”
The station has set a tentative re-opening date of October 3.
