GAS Mangere

Went to get 15 % off petrol. Found out that they prefer you to drive in on a one way basis lining up your petrol tank opening to the bowser. DO NOT DRIVE IN THE WRONG WAY. Talked to the operator through the pay window prior to filling up with petrol (door to get inside was closed). Filled car with petrol, went to pay and get discount but the operator was busy setting out packages of sweets on the counter inside that you could barely see let alone get to. There was a distinct lack of interest in the fact that I was there looking for assistance and when I swiped my card for the discount it didn't go through but the payment for the full amount did. Personally this would now be the last place I would purchase anything from.

GAS has approximately 130 sites across New Zealand. It is 100% New Zealand-owned and the majority of GAS supplied petrol stations are independently owned and operated.

GAS aims to provide personal, friendly service and is proud of its involvement in local communities throughout the country. Indeed, the focus GAS applies to local communities is at the core of its identity, be these communities in heartland, rural areas or within New Zealand’s major urban centres.

1988

The petroleum retail industry in New Zealand is deregulated. Among much else, this paves the way for the major oil companies to cut-back on relatively inefficient supplies of fuel to the nation’s smaller, independent service stations in favour of their own, larger (efficient to supply) company-owned stations.

1999

GAS is founded by a group of New Zealand businessman following years of discussion, assessment and modelling of an array of mechanisms for entering the local fuels market. The final solution proves to be a simple one. A supply arrangement is entered with Caltex for the purchase and resale of fuel products. These products are not merely to be bought from Caltex, but to be delivered by it too through its own, highly developed and mature logistics and distribution network.

The first GAS station to be established is Leigh Motors located an hour north of Auckland and which has remained in the GAS network to this day. This great little business, typical of the GAS brand, supplies fuel to a vibrant resident community and the many overseas and local tourist visitors to the area.

By the end of 2000, GAS has established 14 stations from Te Hana in Northland to Kingston in Otago.

2003

After an exhaustive review of options, GAS switches its supply arrangements from Caltex to BP and again takes advantage of a major company’s high-quality fuels and distribution network.

The GAS-BP relationship proceeds to evolve, endure and mature through several contractual iterations. It remains in place today.

2006

The GAS network has grown to 75 petrol stations

2011

The GAS network reaches 120 petrol stations despite continuing decline in the overall size of the retail fuel market in New Zealand and the GAS share of this.

GAS senses at this time an important need for a fresh and renewed focus on its brand, its roots and the basics of running small businesses throughout the country. In short, GAS sees the need for a strong consolidation in the substance of its existing network and brand. It embarks upon a comprehensive re-branding and re-imaging initiative. It calls this initiative Project Phoenix and it is to cost over three million dollars and run a course through the next three years.

2016

At the same time as Project Phoenix is being carried out, the need to update and standardise the technology in use across the network becomes clear. By 2016, the network finds itself in the final stages of a comprehensive point of sale (POS) systems refurbishment program the result of which has all GAS petrol stations (with very few exceptions) operating one of two standard, modern POS platforms.

It is around this time too, that the network’s aggregate fuel volumes stabilise and then start growing again together with the pipeline of opportunities to add new service stations to the GAS network.

2019

GAS joins the AA Smartfuel loyalty program and in the process adds significant additional value both to its Retailers and to motorists up and down the country.

The Future

Much is still planned. While the GAS brand is not, and is unlikely ever to become, a “major” in the New Zealand fuels market, it sees this as its strength and as a foundation for its community-level operations. It is after all “100% Kiwi” and proud of its claim to the motoring public that, “We’re here for you

Have been coming here for a very long time. Run by some very elderly gentlemen. Will help you if you ask but usually self service.

Mean little local petrol station. Just recently had a bit of a makeover and is much nicer than it used to be

Didnt go here. Went to the fish shop behind it. 1st time customer. Heard the reviews and wasnt disappointed. $20 combo for me and my 3 with enough leftover to feed another. Indeed the best fish n chips by far. 2nd to none

Good little station that is even better now they support aa rewards. Sell 91,95 and diesel. Pricing is competitive. Service is ok.

Not the best pricing but expected considering it is one of the only gas service stations in the area. I've been on many occasions despite the price change and it is very safe especially at night. The store itself doesn't have many items which would make sense considering the supermarkets are up the road. Great little spot to fill up on gas though I would discourage trucks filling up here in general because of the lack of maneuverable space between the pumps.

Good old fashion gas station. Staff were very friendly. By the way, there have trailer hire for 35 bucks a whole day.

Pool customer service. Asked me not holding up customers as i was looking for my AA smart card but there is actually no even one customer in the paying queue. Very rude kiwi boss even joked with a coming in customer saying I have all sorts of cards to look for even library cards.

It's a Gas station, you want gas and a few other things then this is your place close to a really yummy fish and chips shop so yeah I guess it's worth it

Love the place its very clean and environment is closer to the bridge as you can see the view of the sea or you can just walk right across as its just a 5 minute walk. This place is OK. Its not always busy and plus there's a takeaway right next door to it. They have friendly staff and they also help fill up your car as well. They check your tyres if you have a flat tyre and the also pump it up for you as well. Very friendly people.

No cheap petrol and have to pump yourself same as other places but have never had to wait at in a line, easy to get back on main Rd, so good if in a hurry. Smile would be nice.

The assistant didn't bother helping me filling air in my tyres, a customer showd up & assisted me instead.

Great stop location to grab gas and goodies.
We checked out the price for trailors and they are very affordable, with small and large size to choose from!

Great service and awesome price without frills so you don't get loyalty card bonus discount etc as it's low price everyday.
