Definition & Description of Servo
Servo is Australian slang for a petrol (gas) station. Like Macca’s, it’s another example of Aussies shortening words by adding -o to the end.
It’s used casually in everyday life when talking about stopping for petrol, snacks, or even a bathroom break on a road trip. You’ll rarely hear an Aussie say “service station” — servo is the go-to.
Examples of Servo
- “We need to pull into a servo before the tank’s empty.”
- “I’ll grab a coffee from the servo.”
- “There’s a servo down the road.”
