ampm - Clean and has variety of drinks - Convenience Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

Over the years, I have started to dislike this business. Everything's overpriced, the coffee used to be good. It's not good anymore. Always out of almost everything. And then to top it off now I gotta pay just to use the pin pad machine even though I may just go in for snacks. Not worth all the trouble or hassle. read more

I walked in with my refill cup,and had the cashier,who is apparently the owner,scan my app and then he charged me $2.91 for the refill!!! When it clearly said on the app,89 cents for a refill up to 44 ounces!!!! DO MOT SHOP AT THIS PLACE FOR FOOD!!!! Gas station clerks are no more vendors than tow-truck drivers are mechanics!!!! THIS PLACE IS A RIP-OFF!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONY,GO TO 7-11!!!! IT'S CHEAPER!!!!! read more

Please download the AMPM mobile app and get those FREE goodies! You'll get around 14 FREE scratchers that will just load you up with goodies for the month. I just finished my last FREE coffee and croissant from a month ago. The management is really helpful and quick. Well, great staff all around. :) There's a ATM fee of 35 cents for any card use inside or out and the gas prices are a few cents less than the surrounding stations. Just remember they don't have diesel gas. If you need air it's on the corner of the parking area (looking at the station; it's on the right) and the code is 12345#. Which is just the buttons in sequence. Just follow the sequence and you'll have your air and water without waiting in line for the code. read more

Typical AM PM Mini-Mart gas station except this one has a car wash. Save .10 a gallon if you purchase a car wash. Access is ok except when they are busy so RV's and trailers be away. No restrooms. ATM inside. Beer, cigarettes and Lotto. Awesome soft drinks selection. Gas station is well kept. read more

Sold prices on gas. Some of the cheapest in town. Relatively clean considering the amount of homeless that travel though here. The store workers put up with a lot of crap from the homeless, kinda funny to see them lay down the law for pissing on the side of the building. Cops are at the station at least once a month. Stay strong and keep giving cheep gas! read more

I like this Arco because they give a discount on Gas if you buy a car wash. I like the convenience of getting a car wash and refueling at the same place. I've always liked Arco gas, so it's a plus to get gas and a car wash together. And when all the refueling and washing make me hungry I have the choice of Denny's or Mexican. The attendant today was a nice young woman. Friendly, and was able to hold a good conversation. Over all today's experience was great and certainly worth the 4 stars I rated it. I can't speak of moldy soda machines or flies as I just went there for gas and a car wash. The car wash came out Ok. Nothing to write home about, It missed a couple spots. But overall no complaints. It did cost Arco a star. Perhaps it would have been better we to pay the extra 2 bucks for the premium wash. read more

Came in with my sister to get gas. This place was fast and efficient. I would come back here again!

It's a freaken gas staton so I mean it is what is with the cars in n out sometimes taking their sweet time, it is in el cajon so at night watch your back! As for the inside.. Normal clean but the clerks always pervs, they don't even have to say anything the just stare ALWAYS! Even if you look like crap! So I'm knocking a star because they will flirt with you even in front of your boyfriend! Other then that nice pumping read more

ampm - a gas station with a truck parked in front of it - Convenience Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

Looks like a good area to get gas so I did Nice area with good looking houses. Has a car wash so get gas then wash. read more

I mean, it's ok I guess. It's a gas station, there's not much to say about it. The gas prices are ehhh ... not the cheapest I've seen but not overly expensive. They have a good selection of fountain drinks and hot food inside, but the 7/11 next door is better. The drinks are reasonably price so as their alcohol. Their candy is expensive! Expensive for us that is ... we use to get our candy from a store where each bar was $.89-1.00. I've seen cheaper gas stations with cheaper treat prices. Every time I come to an ARCO, their treats are expensive smh. Customer service is polite though. BUT ... I came here for treats ... I'll go somewhere else lol. read more

My favorite ampm in san diego, seems to be the only one that takes coupons. I love that they try to help you leave happy even if something didn't go right. Best cigarette prices, gas price, and service! This location is the only ampm i will be going to in a while after driving all over el cajon to other locations when all i wanted was some gas, ciggerettes that i could use my marborol 1.50 off pack coupon and some cookies for my other half. EVERY other location lied to my face and told me they do not accept these coupons. When the exact store address was clearly listed on top of the coupon. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ! Thanks to my final stop at this location i was able to get the things i needed and left 10x more happy then i was going in there that's for sure! The cashier WENT ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure i was a returning customer!! I don't recall his name but he was working night shift on this Friday(: THANKS! read more

I will stop here occasionally to get gas because the gas price is reasonable but The soda dispensing machine has mold and is very unsanitary and bugs are all over the drink machines. The people working there do not seem to understand any questions I ask. It was not this way before. read more

The positive is great price for gas, The negatives are bugs flying around soda machine during the hotter months and extremely dirty throughout the year even seen used cups mixed in with the new cups. I wouldn't have written this if it would have been a one-time experience however this has been an ongoing occurrence. I'm all for foreign workers but I would think that you have to be able to speak enough of the language to conduct a transaction properly. It's just a AMPM so if you're just getting gas and leaving quick no problem if you plan on getting any additional items Be very observant. read more

If I could not give them a star I wouldn't even give them anything worst customer service EVER !!!! I stopped here because my car overheated on my way home from work I didn't want to drive it much because I didn't want for it to break down even more. As I pulled up to the parking all the parking spots where busy because there was customers using the vacuums, so my first option was to park in front of the air and water machine ( since I was going to use it anyways ) I went inside the store to let the staff now that I was parked outside and explained to them the situation with my 6 year old and 10 year old daughter. Since I manage a Chevron Gas station I know that we are always on the look out for suspicious vehicles After letting the clerk know a gentlemen ( middle eastern ) started yelling at me telling me that I needed to move my car and that I couldn't leave it there. I explained that I wasn't leaving I was waiting for someone to come help me. He started raising his voice telling me that it was inconvenient for me to park there because i was blocking his air and water. I told him it was an emergency and I couldn't drive my car any more. I started raising my voice because I had my 6 year old who needed to use the restroom and I had this guy telling me I needed to move my car it is by far the worse service I have gotten and it's my first time stopping here. I will never come back here! It's a shame that there not a helping hand at this convince store read more

I love the great and friendly service we get every time we come here. Never any wait. And it's a clean store. Love the car wash. Gas price always good. Deffanetly got me coming back and recommending to all my friends and family read more

This Arco is possibly the cleanest gas station I've seen in San Diego. The woman working this morning was shockingly nice, beyond what I could have ever expected or hoped. She went as far as explaining the car wash program and options just being so nice. Great experience. read more

pay to get your car washed here you will regret it not only did it scratch my brand new 2018 camry it left the whole back passenger side of my car dirty a waste of money. i also think the gas pumps are rigged to give you less gas then other places with the same prices. read more

I usually don't go out of my way to write a bad review. Live and let live, people will form their own opinion. However, I'd like to advise individuals reading to stay away from this place. On several occasions I've witnessed what looks to be prostitution taking place here, so criminal activity looks to be something that occurs around this location. How do I know this? Since I live close enough to this location, I frequent it enough, and am not blind, and can hear pretty well. . . I try to purchase gasoline at any Arco as they do have a better price (so I'm not bashing the brand Arco, just raising awareness of serious issues with this location). I purchase gas and will usually buy a car wash, which brings me to another point worth mentioning. Over the last 2 years, I've attempted to purchase a car wash through their drive through, only to find their point of sale machine is broken. You can't back out because of the cars behind you, so if you want a wash, you'll have to go in and pay for it inside, while the folks behind you have to wait. I've learned a trick, that is, if you buy gasoline, you can pay for a car wash right at the gas pump. You'll get a little code to input and the broken point of sale machine will accept it (it's the only part of it that actual works). This brings us to our next problem. I try to give places like this the benefit of the doubt, sometimes something malfunctions on these automatic car washes. Nevertheless, they should attempt to fix it. Of the years I've given this place a chance, I've found the problems with theirs never get fixed, in other words they don't care. The last car wash I attempted at this place is the last time I ever give them a chance. Their system sprays on soap, rinses it off, and the rollers go to work (the soap is not supposed to get rinsed off before the rollers do their job). This time, the rollers that go across the hood and roof doesn't spin, so it just drags wet cloth across your car, no soap to clean off all the accumulated bugs, tar, and debris (vehicles are expensive, dont risk damaging you car or truck). This immediately prompted me to ask for a refund, to which they refused. Too much, too many problems. This leads me to my advise, "Dont go here, dont support a place like this, and if you have kids, keep them away from this place, spare yourself the headache and risks" read more

i get gas here all the time. prices are whatever, just close to my place. it is easy to get in and out. the the mini mart part inside is clean and stocked with beer and snacks the employees could be nicer read more
