The world ' s most up - to - date garage . What is claimed to be the most up - to - date garage in the world is pursuing its super efficient career near the Olympia exhibition hall in the heart of London . At this garage they do things on a large scale . They supply every brand of petrol that motorists are likely to think of , no less than eighteen brands of oil . They have an elaborate compressor to pump the oil from the storage room to the garage . Cars are cleaned by the latest electric vacuum instrument , which removes every particle of dust from the vehicle and gives it , once again , the glittering smartness it had when it left the showroom . Special apparatus provide air for deflated tyres .
