The congratulation address of the "Station of the Month" contest jury and the "Modern Filling Station" magazine to MAZK No. 5 and TATNEFT Company says: "This facility is another fact in evidence that corporate standards do not necessarily mean the same type of filling stations. The desire and creative approach allow creating roadside masterpieces even within the rigorous corporate framework. We are sure that drivers appreciate this and a growing number of the original TATNEFT Company's stations confirms it."
