One or two of them are still there, although repurposed.
DT Dartmouth area had something like 7 or 8 service stations, all with bays, when I was a kid.
Bedford Highway always felt almost rural up to the 1980s. As teenagers, cruising around the Basin was not uncommon. A stop at the Chickenburger, PPP to see 'who was there' and a run back over the Macdonald was a typical summer night. SGR for 'people watching' was often part of the routine. What can I say? We didn't have screens to stare at back then...
