'petrol station' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'georgia changes gear in' is the wordplay.
'georgia' becomes 'ga' ().
'changes' indicates an anagram.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'gear' with letters rearranged gives 'rage'.
'ga' put within 'rage' is 'GARAGE'.
