Listen, I know I gloated about how I get my gas at the fancy Chevron station, but there is something utterly engaging and visceral about calculating how much more you are paying for the cheap gas by getting charged 35 cents for using a debit card. Then pumping a full tank without figuring the math all the way....I must be savng money, surely. At least 80 cents on a tank over the competition. Does the gas work in the car? Yes. Is this gas a bargain? Hell no...there is no bargain gas. Anyhow... this is one of the cheap places...but not that cheap.

I was riding my bike today and got a flat far from home. I stopped by this station to use the air pump. I went into the cashier area and asked the woman behind the counter is she could please turn the air on for me and she flatly said "NO". I showed her my bike and said "I have a flat tire, you wont help me?" to which she answered "NO". I've bought gas at this station for decades. Never again. Thought everyone should know about the uncourteous person who is part of this establishment. Think again before you give them your money.

  • Aryan Hazeghi

I took my car here for smog check. They blew up my radiator and would not take responsibility for it. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR. TERRIBLE PLACE. I've had my car for years (2015 model) and it has had 0 problems. I took it here for a routine smog check and on the way back my coolant started leaking out and the radiator started smoking. The shop staff flatly responded "I do not take responsibility". I will never visit this gas station / service shop again.

  • Jed Shuster

Their gas prices are one of the lowest around the immediate area. They would have 5 stars if they EVER emptied their window washing water. The water smells like a toxic dump. I swear they just top off the toxic sludge with some water occasionally. Do not use their window washing thingymabobber's, you don't want that water anywhere near you or your vehicle. ‍♂️

  • Kimberly Ann Graham

Best gas prices in the area. Unfortunately, that means fairly long line. Most of the time anyway. Station sits on the corner and does not have adequate room to keep those lines on property so sometimes they go out into the street. Have used them from time to time to do smog checks and no complaints.

  • Reshu Kukreti

Worst gas station I have ever been they don’t expect credit card , gas Milage is wort , on top of that I put $50 gas paid once for air but machine stopped in middle so they made me pay again .. customer service is not up to the mark the lady in register is so rude . I suggest no one to be there.

  • Sarah O'Donnell

You don't get the amount of gas you pay for. They are not helpful at all. Didn't even check the pump to make sure it was working because they were too busy eating lunch. Filed a complaint with the county. I should've known better since the county is always there checking their pumps.

  • Smackfooter

They lie customer tell them at the bathroom is a broken but really it's not. And another employee say it works but for customers. And then they wanted me to prove that I purchase gas . My company have account with them and I've been getting gas then on a regular basis.

  • FireStartR ForU

Usually the best prices on quality gasoline, 5 cents discounts for cash, but you'll be waiting in line to pay. Easier and faster to pay the extra $0.50 to a buck and use your credit card. Best times are weekdays because the weekends are crowded with long lines.

  • Pam Sprague

Much appreciated the Service from the kind help of the Mechanic on Duty who helped me with my car. Have always had nothing but good things to say about this Service Station whether it's gas, food, or help with your car. Kind, Caring, Pleasant Staff.

  • Gerardo Gonzalez

Would not trust a single mechanic here. Please save you money and time and go elsewhere. Owner of the shop is head mechanic and gives out estimates to work that doesn’t go very far on vehicles will have you coming back. Beware t

  • Hiten J. Thakkar

A fair place with the most fair and inexpensive gas prices. I have been filling up at this station for past 30 years when there was no Costco gas pumps. The owner has the price lower than neighborhood ARCO and Rotten Robbie.

  • Squidooodlyyy Gamer 22

This Arco is not open 24hrs. I don't care if the store is closed but they turn off the pumps. Keep the pumps on and make more money if you dont want to operate the store. I'll Take my business to another gas station.

  • Jason Bivens

Got my vehicle right in for the inspection and test, kept me updated along the way, and priced reasonably compared to other local shops. I would absolutely come back for my inspection and auto repair needs!

  • Glowball Piece

Often the lowest prices... But too limited of hours. The entire gas station closes in the evenings kind of early, even on weekend evenings as well. Don't run out of gas expecting you can pay at the pump!

  • Bronson Duncan

Yeah, the prices are low, but good luck getting in there. Their Apple Pay, that they have on the pumps do not work the Apple Pay inside does not work. Total waste of 45 minutes. 0 stars for that one

  • Neville Kentish

Had some mechanical work done changing the spider in my truck had to return several times work was completed over a very long period of time at had to miss work more than once....

  • Stormbreaker

This place has a relatively lowest price fuel (almost same as Costco). Credit cards are not accepted. For a debit cards, you need to pay 35 cents fee. You can also pay by cash.

  • G N

Worst service ever. Their pump malfunctioned and did not pump gas, I did not get a drop of it. however, they refused to return my $40 dollars and charged me ~$2.40 for nothing

  • Caleb Turner

In an area where gas prices are incredibly and disgustingly high, this Arco has managed to keep the prices as low as possible. Definitely recommend this gas station!

  • steva30

Not the best prices but convenient. Had to get my tire fixed one mechanic said $80 then looked at the owner and the owner said no no 35 so that's a little sketchy

  • Madula Rama

Came at 10:30p on Tuesday, but it says it's 24 hours but the cashier was closed plus the pumps are stopped. Idk what happened but this is frustrating.

  • Georges Brodeur

The price here is always the lowest. Pay cash to save. It can be crowded at times, so I try to fill up early in the morning or later at night.

  • Lee “Travis” Drone

Horrible service, the lady in the am has a horrible attitude. The manager is no better.. please spend your money someplace else

  • Jacob Critser

Commonly the best prices in the area, the station is a bit run down it makes up for it in the prices and convenience location

  • Ankit Goel

35 cent extra for each fillup. Worth it if you want to full the gas tank and prices are always lower than the neighborhood.

  • uday aem

This store is closed now .... this isn’t 24 hours it’s 10:30 pm Friday night ... so please don’t call this 24 hours service
