Not all convenience stores are created equal. This ampm station is alright. I don't purchase gasoline at this convenience store chain unless I'm driving a rental car. They say that they have top tier gasoline, but I just don't know if I believe it to be true. I do come here to purchase snacks from time to time. Prices are reasonable, and they tend to have good promotions every visit as well. Cleanliness outside and inside the store has always been fine with each trip here. Service on the otherhand is hit or miss. When it is a "miss", it tends to be months before I return to give them another chance. Overall, they are okay. read more

ampm - a man in a grocery store - Convenience Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We to this Arco around 135am and the doers were padlocked. The guy held up 2 fingers, which to me meant 2 minutes. He was dropping money into the safe so no big deal. After he is done with the money, he then goes to the back and pulls out a mop, goes up to the door and just stares at me. Meanwhile as I was waiting, 2 other guys pull up and want to buy a bunch of beer. They got fed up with this guy refusing to open the doors and they left to spend their money elsewhere where. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE, they don't care about anything except getting a paycheck read more

35¢ charge at the pump for using card when you can ONLY USE DEBIT. What pumps don't accept credit cards in 2021? Then when you use a card inside they charge you a $1 processing fee. Just a joke all around for a cheap business. read more

This ARCO, which is located on the Southeast corner of Rosedale Hwy and Coffee Road between Famous Dave's and Lowes, is usually one of the cheapest stations in the Northwest. Today, on empty and desperate, I put a gallon of gas in my car 1 mile up the road at $4.09 and then filled the rest of the tank at this ARCO at $3.79. That's a difference of $0.30/gallon, and that's pretty much an average difference between this station and other name brand stations in the area. Just be aware - this is the cash price. They don't accept credit cards, and if you use your debit card there will be a $0.45 surcharge to use it. The attached AM PM mini-mart is always clean and well stocked. The clientele is safely into the "not scary" category. This is one of my favorite stations on the Westside. read more

ampm - a gas station with trucks parked in front of it - Convenience Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

See all

Store employees made me feel extremely uncomfortable while looking for snacks. The whole time the cashier and another worker were staring at me as if I were some sort of criminal. I did not like the disrespectful tone they set. I ended up not getting anything and just paying for gas. read more

I always go out of my way to stop at this location. I think it's their large gas pump parking lot, their beer selection and the cheapest gas prices on this side of town. what's not to love! Downside is you have to go inside to pay with cash or credit, as they just installed new television screens on the pumps that only accept debit. When purchasing an alcoholic beverage, you must tell the cashiers, so they can press a button that unlocks the fridges. I think this is such a smart idea, stops underage people from stealing and prevents beer runs. Staff is always friendly. read more

Refuse to honor prices they have posted in store. Makes me wonder about the integrity of their gas pumps now. They don't honor prices shown in store, are they really charging price shown for gas? read more

I prefer to rank gas stations not so much on amenities or cleanliness, but price in relation to nearby stations. This station is the cheapest in the area. Of course, Arco has that leg up because of the no-credit-card stance. If you have time, though, you can go to the Arco just on the other side of the 99, which is about 8-10 cents cheaper per gallon than this one. This Arco, though, is about 10 cents per gallon cheaper than the lowest price nearby, the FasTrip on Coffee near Brimhall. Anyway, big station, lots of pumps. Not a bad AM-PM, pretty big, also. Easy access. read more

I used to come here because of the higher limit to fill up on Diesel fuel. The $0.35 charge was very nominal considering. They have since started charging $1.00 to use a card, and decreased their limit to $75 worth of fuel. With fuel being in the $3.85 range means filling up twice for a total cost (just to use your card) at $2.00 to get fuel!!! Kind of ridiculous after spending $160 on fuel for one stop. In addition, the pumps are always filthy covered in diesel and dirt and the paper for receipts are ALWAYS empty so you have to go inside for a receipt every time and wait in line (that's twice i had to fill up and wait in line at the same stop). I'll go to Costco or 7-eleven from now on. read more

Clean and cheap gas....fast and easy fill up, as they have a lot of gas station. I won't mind coming back if I am in the area. Thank u

I always stop by here in Bakersfield before I leave for LA because the gas here at ARCO is few cents cheaper then where I get my gas in LA. The gas here for premium is $4.05. The machine near the pup to either put in cash or ATM always works. I have not had to go inside to prepay. read more

All I get here is gas. Whenever I have gone into the Store, I feel like I'm bugging them. Like all AM PM stores they have various sundries and stock the usual foodstuffs. The gas is cheaper than most other places. There is nothing special about this location except the creepy feeling that I'm not welcome when I go inside. read more

Easy in and easy out. I stop here when Fastrip is too busy. I like paying with cash at the pump and getting a receipt too. Their gas prices are always the cheapest in town. I don't know if that's good or bad ... I always use 91 though. read more

The Cheddarwurst is succulent and juicy with cheese. Special water bottles lean on these refrigerator shelves along the end by several aisles of quick snacks and confections. Bakery items are right at the door-step. WinCo nearby has coffee drinks that are thick and sugary, but WinCo's food items aren't so squeezed up together, the situation of which makes me feel trapped at walking in there. Arco Am Pm serves as a medium for people's convenience, and I walk to the Icelandic water in here or see how chilly the energy is. Of course, I've been seeing Reese's candy that has special holiday shapes. Recently the artists of Sesame Street have been talking about the shapes of foods and mistakenly believing in their health implications. I've eaten circle crackers and square pizza around the world, and beef jerky has come in different shapes varying from tubes to curvy strips. Your typical chocolate bars have altered forms of natural chocolate because of the uses of milk, peanuts, and package stabilization. Right near the place, I go to a barber shop to get my neck shaved. Also, my dad can go on a car-wash-cruise by the gymnastic streets of Coffee Road. Arco Am Pm sells less expensive tea cans that always have fresh flavors and a more mixed sweetness. "It's time to drink Arizona!" The gas station aisles are compact in environment and color, and the 99-cent 32 oz. soda fountain servings are something to dream for with the real caution of smooth ice and caffeine levels. Wave has a more coarse smoke compared to the minty smoke of Newports, but with whatever cigarettes (as a first-time smoker) I've been getting a nasty black heart that squeezes out of itself, which causes me to drag my feet with a kind of disinterested motive. (I think joysticks melt.) Anyways, this place is built with a low roof and feels like a curvy square while I'm enjoying the light ambiance during the store's required rush. Those tax types change in my mind as I fulfill a worker's ticket for his or her registration number. So many customers may not have a response to the store's codes, but the hot food is in a warm yellow light in those window-convenient-boxes. I make payments with my primary account and generally leave the store with a list of descriptions. There are quantities against quantities, the math to references. Time glows on whenever I make the pursuit for hunger and thirst. It's funny how a store has a copy that I can't buy. It's good to recycle and get some sense back, for the better things like values and generalizations; my standards are slim but I'm acute with my way of noticing. However my vacation is, I hope I give more dollars for less failure. As a casual defense, Starbucks just keeps offering better and better drinks, so it's not so brisk to turn back the table with Arco Am Pm's goodies and understand work as an overstatement related to my charges and my embrace of the eat. read more
