The Mobil-branded station features two undercover areas with six fuel bowsers to service cars, large vehicles and trucks travelling through Farleigh.
The 3645sq m site has nine carparking spaces including a spot for a person with disabilities with one entry off Sugarshed Rd and a main entry from 971 Bruce Highway.
