Artifact Overview

Service stations provided maintenance and repair services to motor vehicle owners. These facilities could be associated with an automobile dealership, or they might be part of a gas station. Automakers supported service attendants through training programs, regular bulletins, and specialized tools and equipment. By the late 20th century, car warranties required more repairs to be done at dealerships.
