This intersection has everything! Gas, food, coffee, nails, threading, even a tattoo place! No wonder there is a photo enforced at this intersection where AMPM is at. This is my go to spot for gas when im at work and I need gas ASAP. The inside always seems stocked and clean to me. There are snacks galore! There is a section with coffees and fountain drinks. Inside Prices are a bit high because of the convenience but gas prices are good. Service is in and out which i appreciate. read more

this made me so irritated I had to download this app. I came to the store at night hours because it's open 24 hours their was no sign it was closed i opened the door and the habibi habab night shift employee came toward the door and started screaming at us and wanted to cuss us out. we were forced to leave even tho the store is open 24. hours? we had came here before later at afternoon and when we had our stuff the guy didn't even bother to bag our stuff and gave it to us and left us there to put ir in the bag so rude. who does that? NEVER coming back. this store deserves to be shut down such bad service. I'd stay away if I were u! read more

Don't do business here. The Arabs here will rip you off your money. Tried getting a refill on a 44 ox drink and the clueless cashier tried charging me full price for a 100oz drink (which is the insulated travel mugs) read more

This place is a ripoff. For the same price just go to the Chevron across the street- much cleaner and better maintained

They put water in their coffe creamer. I didn't see it physically but you can tell it's disgusting and don't ever buy the food either

A normal Arco in Bakersfield CA. It's one of the cheaper gas station. Across the street is more expensive. Good place for a stop and grabs few things on the good in this small town. I have noticed that this gas station tends to be busier then it's competitor in the area. read more

This AM PM is a handy location but has really bad entrance and exit ease due to the busy intersection it is located on. That is exactly why I'm giving it 4 stars. Gas here is usually always one of the cheapest in town if you look around and they do have many pumps but unfortunately for our diesel users no diesel as of yet. One thing I am not a fan of at these places is the central pay hubs and not pay at your own pump. So if there's many people paying at one particular time then sometimes you have to wait in line for your turn that can be inconvenient. Otherwise this is a usual stocked with the normal items AM PM store with cheap gas but a tight parking lot and a tricky driveway. read more

Got asked for money by two different people while filling up. Other than that, it's a gas station. You come, fill up, and go. Can't complain

Interestingly enough, there is a completely different experience at this Arco than is across the street at the Chevron. This is probably one of the craziest, busiest Arco's I've ever been to. Because it is CASH ONLY, the lines tend to be very long but their prices are a few cents cheaper than most gas stations because of this fact so many people try to cram into this Arco. Getting in and getting out is nearly impossible after you have impossibly found a gas pump to station yourself at. Most people who fill up here have little to no regard of distance to your car and I had a number of close calls when I was here. Eek! I would not recommend you to come here if you can help it at all. read more

its a decent pit stop. not so clean toilet bit it will get you by. store clerk is friendly and good prices read more

ampm - gas price 06/2020 - Convenience Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Just another average gas station/convenience store. The cashiers have all been able to master most of the english language. The selection inside the store is average. The prices are kind of high. The area of California Ave and Oak Street can be overwhelmed with transients and other seedy types from time to time. Meh. read more

We went into the store and we got things and he didn't let up buy the things we wanted and made us get out the store and before coming in he was mad dogging us read more

Stopped in for bottle of water. Saw a cockroach crawling up the shelf of candy next to the register.

For me an Arco AMPM always starts at four stars for their cheap gas and works their way up and down the scale based on what impressed me positively or negatively. I stop at Arco often enough that I know I need to have ample cash on hand to avoid the $.35 debit card fee, though this time I miscalculated and had to pay it. It averages out to less than $.04 per gallon if you're filling your tank, which I was, still far cheaper than the Chevron across the street. I went inside to wash my hands after pumping the gas; there are two single stall restrooms, but one is marked for employees only - what's up with that? The one for customers was reasonably clean and well stocked with soap and paper towels. Minus one star for permanently reserving one restroom for employees. Bad form. The Fountain had multiple options for those of us who prefer diet soda: diet coke, diet Pepsi, Coke Zero (Those three still equal one option to me), diet dr pepper, and diet Mountain Dew. Bonus star for both the Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Mountain Dew Options. They stock Takis, my favorite chips, in multiple flavors, half a bonus star. The cooler stocks many cold dtink options and they are well organized and clearly marked with prominent signage. There is a sign on each glass door stating what is behind it: Sodas, energy drinks, sport drinks, tea, water. It cuts down the browsing time considerably. They had an extensive array of different flavors of the three major brands os energy drinks: Monster, Rockstar, and Red Bull - well, at least of the first two. No extra stars, but it's a nice bonus feature. All in all a solid four stars for my experience. If you're using a debit card I'd recommend using it outside at the pump as a fellow Yelper I trust once had issues with taking it inside (see tips) read more

-First off, I never understood why arco only accepts cash or debit (plus 45¢ fee) -There's 2 restroom but 1 is reserved for employee only. The one open to the public is dirty and disgusting. -They don't break a hundred dollar bill. read more

4 stars what I don't like about this spot is that it's on the corner and everyone and there momma go cause the gas is cheap. Guess what it burns fast and makes the beast run like shit, But the inside was clean and well stocked and the cashier was friendly and it was in and out read more

This is a decent gas station. Could be much better, could be worse. They get 1 star because they have so many gas pumps, another star because the pumps are always working, and the third star because their pay outside cash machine is always working (this isn't the case at other Arcos). The price is always much lower than the other gas stations around. They are conveniently located right off the 99 so you can get off, fill up and hop right back on the freeway. The bad part is that they are on the corner of a ridiculously busy intersection, and it's tricky to turn out of the gas station and make it all the way to the left turn lane. You have to be quick. My biggest complaint is about the bathroom. Since all the rest stops are now closed along the 99, long distance drivers now have to stop at various fast food establishments or nasty gas stations. This Arco has two restrooms but one is reserved for employees. On Sunday, we were making our way home from the Mojave Desert. I had filled up on water and Gatorade so as not to get dehydrated, so I had to GO! And of course, there was a line of about 10 people, all waiting for the damn bathroom. When I finally got it, it was nasty and the floor was sticky and wet. I should have just stopped and gone behind a bush out on the highway. read more

Don't go there!!! People don't care for the customer. 30 cent charge per transaction if you use your debit card and 60 cent charge, if you use your credit card. Impossible to get water room temperature. If you can avoir this gas station, do so!!! Do not recommend at all. read more

Novi is the worst Employee at the store. I asked him to put $40 on pump number nine but he missed heard me and put 40 on number eight I went back into the store and asked him if he could switch it for me said no you made a mistake I will not switch the pump for you and I said OK I understand that a store policy when I asked him if I can get my money back. He proceeded to yell at me and told me that I am wrong and that I should've looked at the number beforehand even though I asked him for number nine. I did not move my car the whole time I was there. He proceeded to tell me if you want your money you have to speak to my manager because I will not do anything for you because you are wrong. After I found out a car pump for $40 on number eight and Novi came out of the store and said the woman will give you the $40 because I will not give you the money. The woman felt obligated to give me the money as they did refund me the $40 however it is not there obligation to give me my money back. read more

The night worker closes the entire location for an hour at 3am to clean the outside. All he's doing is talking on his cell phone and sweeping. I can understand locking the door at night while he's outside, but why would he turn away business just because he's sweeping? UPDATE: now that he's done sweeping (but "coincidentally" still talking on the phone), he says he still can't do my transaction because I'm using cash and it'll be a while before "the system updates." But the system would've taken debit during the update somehow? I feel like he would've said the opposite if I said I had debit. read more

It's not the cheapest gas station on this block (Circle K is), but it's big which means it's easy to get in & out of, which is important for this busy intersection! read more
