The moment you exit the highway and turn left to drive into a filling station (or right if there's a legal gap in the median divider), STOP for 5 - 7 secs and click one or more photos of the facade of the filling station by jutting your hands out of the window or from within the car (if it's raining).
Fill the 'right' fuel ⛽ and keep watching the display on the dispensing machine. Thereafter, pay up.
Walk over to the showroom/ office glass window/ wall.
Spot the board or wall mentioning the:
* name and address of the filling station,
* contact details of the oil marketing company official(s) and
* contact details of the filling station owner.
(Mobile numbers and designations are always visible along with e-mail ID).
Click one or more crystal clear photos and satisfy yourself that the photos are clear.
Nobody will stop you from clicking photos of the contact details.
Get back to your car and get the live GPS location.
WhatsApp/ Facebook Messenger Inbox me these three critical information (facade photos, contact details photos, live GPS location) before driving out of the filling station.
In a spare diary jot down the cumulative odometer reading, time, quantity of fuel filled, amount paid, name of filling station.
Make this a regular habit.
Please don't ignore the importance of assisting me to build up a robust database of #FillingStationContactDetails for the safety and convenience of all.
No road travel/ automotive forum in India has the intellect to think about such safety hacks.
