State vehicles fill up for free at KU garage
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
The driver looks in alarm at the gas gauge as the car splitters to a halt on Sunnyside Avenue. Relieved, he spots the two gas tanks that sit beside a cluster of buildings along the street.
But if he's thinking of filling up, he's out of luck
The pumps belong to the University Garage, which restricts service to state-owned vehicles. And those who work there say most private drivers have never even heard of the place.
"All state agencies know about the University Garage." John Kautz, physical plant supervisor, said yesterday. "But nobody else does."
The garage, at 16th Street and Sunside Avenue, is open from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. KU police, the housing office and facilities operations frequently use the services the garage provides. Other agencies may use state-owned vehicles may use the garage.
NEITHER STUDENTS NOR faculty may use the garage unless they drive a state-owned vehicle, Kautz said. But drivers of cars, road graffers or dump trucks owned by the state may fill up free, have repair work done or get their yearly wash at the garage.
Such vehicles are easily identified by their license plates, Kautz said. Anybody who pulls up to the gas tanks and doesn't have the right plates won't get the service he thinks he deserves.
Jack Schafer, a mechanic at the garage, said. "We have problems when students come in and want gas when they run out."
The garage provides many of the same services that regular gas stations provide. Kautz said it handles more than 10 million people. Good for me, my dream motor dong of doing
For example, the mechanics have to know how to fix a dump truck that won't dump or a parking service truck that an angry student might have abused after receiving a ticket.
The garage saves the state money and is convenient, Kautz said. If its services were not available, all maintenance work would have to be contracted to privately owned stables which generally charge higher prices.
But the University staff might not find the station quite as handy in the near future, Kautz said. The garage may move to West Campus by fall 2015. Students should Resource and Development Center is scheduled to be built on the site.
He said the staff was looking forward to moving because the garage lacked parking and storage space.
