As part of the car buying company’s Dream Service Station report it looked at motorway service stations across Britain and scored them. Each one was given a score out of 100 based on its food options, facilities, charging points, and it’s Google review ratings, reports Glasgow Live . Bothwell Roadchef scored just 4.8 out of 100 and was the only service station not to score above five. With a Google ranking of 3.6 stars, the survey found drivers were complaining about the price and the quality of the food and drink on offer. Those who had left reviewed mentioned overpriced options and lukewarm tea in their reviews. The service station also only had five different amenities, food and retail choices. To find the UK鈥檚 best and worst service stations, webuyanycar created an index using a combination of data from motorwayservices.uk and from Google reviews. The index included the number of catering options, amenities and charging points, according to motorway services, and the Google review score for each service station. They ranked each location based on the prevalence of each metric and gave each a score out of 100. The higher the score, the 鈥渂etter鈥 the service station for motorists on road trips. Head of technical services at webuyanycar, Richard Evans, said: 鈥淲hile some variation in the quality of service stations is to be expected, the findings do show an inconsistency in UK service stations. “For people who travel long distances, it鈥檚 important to have service stations with good facilities available to them. “Taking regular breaks on long journeys is crucial for safety and well-being purposes, helping to prevent fatigue and keep drivers focused. Central to this safety approach is having the appropriate rest points where drivers actually want to stop and take a break.” Bothwell’s first place was closely followed by Leeming Bar (scoring 5.5/100) and Swansea West (8.2/100). At the other end of the table, Strensham Motorway Services, located in Worcestershire, was the highest-ranking service station in the UK, scoring 80.6 out of 100. Roadchef have been approached for comment.
