John Poulet is long time service manager at Menlo Chevron

Twenty-eight years ago, San Carlos resident John Poulet, newly returned home from the Marine Corps, was asked by his dad to drop his car off for service at a Menlo dealership. As the young man waited to make the u-turn at El Camino and Oak Grove, he noted a help wanted sign outside Menlo Chevron. Today, John is the service manager at the busy station, one of those garages where patrons trust the mechanics to do the right thing.

“The bad news” says John, “is that I’ve been here for 28 years.”  “But, the good news is” adds John, “I’ve been here for 28 years.”  We’ll wager that most Menlo Chevron customers would agree with the second part of that statement.
