Engen garage Rinaldo road should be shut down. It is a disgrace as far as service stations go and the entire garage area is a shambles. This morning I went there on my way to the airport to fill up my tank. On getting there I noticed but did not much worry about a sandy strip linking from one bowser to the other. It looked like an incomplete tar repair job that was covered over with umgeni sand exactly like an incomplete or temporary repair on our main roads. The strip of sand was not very wide. I drove into the bowser area only to find that my car wheels stuck in the sand and carried on spinning with no traction at all. It was i now discovered not a sandy strip but actually It was a deep narrow trench filled with sand. The attendant told me to reverse which lodged my car in deeper then to go forward with the same result except now my car front bumper was s****ing the tar in front and almost came off. I asked him to push out the car from the front which he failed to do. Another motorist saw my plight and ran to help to push my car backwards to save my bumper. Needless to say I did not fill my tank. I simply drove out vowing never to go back. The previous time when I had gone there the attendant had filled my wheels with the wrong pressure in spite of me stressing what pressure they take.
