All through the West, he's your car's best friend


... hope you see a lot of him!


If you're like a whole lot of Western motorists, you've learned by long experience that the best friend your car can have is the man at your independent Chevron Gas Station or your Standard Station.


Just look at the list of services on the right. This isn't just for show. These are things he'll actually do - whenever you give him the chance. He knows it's good business sense to treat your car to the best of care. That way he knows you'll be back.


If you haven't yet formed the "Car-Saver" service habit, start now. And don't feel that you must buy something every time you come in. Your "Car Savers" offer these services as a way of expressing their appreciation for the times you do come by for Chevron Supreme Gasoline, RPM Motor Oil, or necessary lubrication.


"CAR SAVER SERVICE" includes all or any of these at your convenience
