If you’ve driven down Samora Machel Avenue in Eastlea lately you will no doubt have seen the brand new Revo Service Station on the corner of Glenara Avenue. It’s hard to miss with the huge digital board outside, supplied by Crystal Sign, who also supplied the illuminated 3D forecourt canopy signage and the pump decals and the teardrop flags outside. The lights on the forecourt were supplied by local company, Muruwe, who specialise in energy saving LED lighting solutions as well as other eco-friendly products.

The distinctive pink and blue spiral logo is hard to miss! Sophie and Greg Sergeant are the Managing Directors and Sophie provided the concept for the swirly icon.

The Samora Machel branch, which officially opened on the 18th of May this year, is Revo’s second service station. The first one opened in Tynwald in July 2021 and there’s a third branch scheduled to open in Chegutu later this year.

The forecourt occupies the front part of the property which was originally an old residential home. There’s ample space for four vehicles to be served at the pumps at the same time. The pumps are the most up-to-date EHAD Classic Range of fuel dispensers. Each pump has hoses for three different products - diesel, petrol and unleaded. They’re directly connected to a computer terminal in the office which registers the sales and the amount of fuel left in the underground tanks, so there’s no need for daily dips to calculate what’s in the tanks. The underground tanks were installed by Toobs Engineering.

There’s a new slip road, built by JTL Equipment, so access to the service station from Glenara Avenue is now much easier. It’s a really convenient location for residents from Eastlea and the surrounding suburbs. It’s also convenient for drivers travelling from town along Samora Machel and on to the Mutare Road. And the Glenara Ave route is on the way to and from the suburbs, to the Airport Road or the industrial sites.

Revo’s well-trained forecourt staff are friendly, efficient and helpful and there are a number of quick and easy payment options for your fuel so you’ll never have to wait in line to be served. They’re more than happy to check your oil and water and wash your windscreen while you’re filling up.

The original house on the property has been converted to offices for Revo as well as other shops and services. The refurbishments for the complex were designed by Mark Sanderson from Draftworx, a local architectural drafting and design studio. There’s Health Mode Pharmacy and MyPart Spares and Hardware will be opening soon. Also right next to forecourt is Antonios Mediterranean Deli and Takeaway. Antonios already has 5 branches across the city at Sam Levy’s, Lewisam, Avondale, Mount Pleasant and Workington. They’re open till 9.00pm for hungry customers on the move or for take home meals.

Behind the main building is a newly built warehouse for Fitment Centre for all your automotive spares and accessories. Their services include tyre sales, alignment, suspension, oil change and brake repairs.

The whole complex is a convenient one stop shop for motorists from fuel to spares to takeaways and pharmaceuticals. PMB Walling have put up a neat and secure boundary wall and Pleasure in Palms has landscaped the site so it’s a pleasant place to fill up, get your vehicle repaired or grab a bite to eat. And there are restrooms too so you can freshen up on your journey.

Make sure you drop in when you’re next in the area. Revo and Antonios are open 7 days a week till late for your convenience.
