Plenty of automotive history passed through these busted wooden doors. This was an actual service station that pumped gas, plus did maintenance and repairs.

Down below is a grease pit, made of mortared native stone. Back then, an oil change also commonly involved a "Lube Job" for lubrication. Fittings under the car had to be greased.

Today's cars don't need that, but quick oil-change places still use concrete-lined pits to access the filter.
