It's a busy corner, and this is a busy station. Make sure there's space for you before you enter so you don't block the lane of others just trying to go past. I see this all too often at this location. Other than this issues it's a fine station, the pumps were all working, the cost is reasonable, and the mini-mart had a clean bathroom and ice cold Powerade Zero - everything I needed. :) read more

The woman working the register at this location (Hispanic) would not honor the $1 price on their app for the x-large fountain drink. She said the dollar price is only for the large size. Tell me why it says it's a dollar for any size under 44 oz? The x-large qualifies! The xx-large doesn't! She has an attitude the entire transaction. She wouldn't even scan the barcode, she made me do it. Someone needs to teach these people customer service and problem solving skills. I don't think she even knows how to work the register properly. So now do I contact my lawyer at consumer action law group in regard to the false advertisement? Now I have to waste time and gas to go to another location to get my drink. This is not ok! Everyone and myself deserve to be compensated for this huge inconvenience. read more

The indian girl at the register is super disrespectful and unprofessional. Has airpods in the entire time just talking to people from her phone. She doesn't even know how to properly use the register and she gives out change in such a weird way. I guess they just give jobs to anyone nowadays. She definitely should get fired. read more

Maggie was amazing. She provide excellent customer service with a smile. Thank you for having a caring team.

I stopped by this Arco around 5:00 PM today and had an interaction that honestly left me more confused than anything. I frequently visit gas stations for small tasks like this, and in my experience, most are happy to help as a courtesy. Even when they can't, they usually just say so politely and I'm on my way. However, the gentleman working today (Asian male, approx. 50s) handled a simple request with a very condescending attitude. Instead of a professional "no," he gave me a humiliating smile and mocked me, saying I was at the "wrong store" and this "isn't a Bank of America." It was a very disappointing "bully" moment from an older professional toward a younger customer. A simple "sorry, we can't do that" would have been perfectly fine, but the choice to be disrespectful was completely unnecessary. Whether this is an employee or the owner, it's a poor reflection on the Arco brand. I'll be stickng to the many other local stations that still prioritize basic courtesy. read more

I had $9 carwash 7/7/25, so much spots/dirt left so I wiped down the car. Noticed this big scratch and minor ones all around the car. I called and talked to an older lady, said manager will be in the Morning. I drove back next morning, said he's not in again. Not going to waste gas :( read more

I came by today for a car wash, the cashier seemed nice, however when I tried to use my card it was declined (I'm sure it was the system because I used it at another gas station right after and it went through: same pin and such). The guy's attitude suddenly changed and he changed the way he acted towards me and told me to try again, I tried tapping and it asked me for an ID number, he then said to enter your pin. I tried to ask about ID, but he said, "No ID, just input your pin." I clicked exit and tried to slide in the chip again (because he told me upsettingly and looking irritated) I did a misclick and it said to remove my card, he then suddenly got upset saying "don't remove your card" I tried to tell him, but he start to look mad and shook his head. There was no one else but me in the store. I tried again, and when it declined, he then told me "nope doesn't work," then shoo'd me away. I felt like I was very mistreated, like I was a criminal or a fraud, and felt rushed, especially when he said bye-bye while I was walking away. I am never coming here again. This place went downhill for a gas station with a car wash read more

Tried to use bathroom while gas was pumping been here several times over the past 4 weeks older lady said that someone stole the key and the bathroom is locked same story from another employee .but during the day another employee gave the key. So they are saying that the bathroom key is gone but they do have it read more

why is it so hard to use the restroom when you purchase something they act like they don't want nobody to use a restroom gonna say both restrooms out of order. They need to be ashamed to have a business like this. read more

The worst place ever, the older Mexican lady was hella rude. My pump got canceled so I went back to tell her, all she needed to tell me was oh it got canceled but she was yelling g at me oh because you moved the pump that's why it was canceled. It didn't pump that's why I moved. Then she said if I didn't like it I could go to another place. So this is give customer service. With her attitude no wonder she stays behind that desk, I'm sorry to say but she was way too rude. read more

Cashier had terrible attitude. Very rude.looks like she's doesn't want to work there at all

Bad service. I don't think I will go back again, best advice, don't use the car wash if you don't know how to use, no one helps you to solve your problems. read more

We stop here from time to time to get gas when its really low. The guy inside is really nice and its clean then most gas stations. I like how they always have hot coffee and snacks right next to it. This way we can't miss them (fat people problems). Anyhow we are in and out of there every time we go. The lines do build up, but as long as you pump and go, it goes quickly. read more

I recommend not getting a car wash. It's not worth it. If you see a guy try to dry your car, stop him immediately. I repeat! STOP HIM! I really thought it was a complimentary service so I let him dry my car. I thought cool, I might tip him depending on how he does his job. Next thing you know, he asks me to roll my window and demands a tip. I told him I didn't have change. But he saw a $20 in my wallet. And asked for me if I wanted change for that. I said fine. Gave him the $20. But he asks how much he is getting back. I told him just give me the full change and I will decide. But he repeatedly asks for me how much he is getting. It's so f'd up. Honestly, I didn't pay a $6 +$3 car wash. The guy just circled my car twice and dried it. IT WAS ALREADY DRY, mind you. read more

Deserving of its low rating. I have literally spent thousands at this gas station. All I ask in return is to just have the receipt machines working on the gas pump so I don't have to go inside (increased exposure, poor Covid precautions, not worth it) I have spoken to multiple managers (Joe, forgot the other gentleman's name) consistently asking them to fix the receipt function on the gas pumps. Consistently they do not work. I have maybe had the receipt machine work 5 times out of the 50 times I've been there. Ultimately will be taking my business elsewhere. I've given up trying to ask, they just don't really care about their customers, as long as they make a buck off us. Would rather give my money to a team that values a business-customer relation read more

I went to ARCO at 13482 Brookhurt ST, in Garden Grove, CA at 10am on 8/26/22. I had a restroom emergency and the worker said the restrooms were not operating! I asked to use the employee restroom since it was an emergency and the worker had no compassion! I won't be coming back! read more

Was roaming around this area and needed to get on the freeway so I can get my ass home. The Mobile down the street sucked the big weenie. I still had to try and clean my windows since my car was filthy as hell. This place is really an ARCO but found this listing on Yelp instead. Plenty of people here fueling up. Plenty of squeeegeeees for me to clean my windows with. Plain dirty water but this will do. Most gas stations have been remodeling and this happens to be one of them. Looks really nice and flat screens at each pump station. Loud and annoying as hell with the commercials they play. Perhaps I should have just rolled through the car wash they have? Oh well, half way done when I saw the car wash entrance. By the way, what's with all the photo intersections? Are there no more police officers working? read more

Immigrant attendant, the little windows that displays individual gas price is jacked up on my pump

I'm trying to get my parents car washed, and the dryer doesn't work so the car is drenched in water. The Indian lady manager said that she can't turn it back on or refund because "It washed it though, I'll give you paper towels to dry it" ‍ This Arco on Brookhurst and Garden Grove is bad business. How are you going to charge someone full price for something that's half working? I have dry water spots all over the car. read more

ARCO AM PM Mini Mart - the inside of a car - Convenience Stores Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I come here pretty often and have had some rude encounters with a lot of the staff except for one. The staff member who is always nice and helpful and goes above and beyond is Ramon! He is seriously the best and I usually will only come to this gas station to fill up only if he is working. He has even given my car a jump when I was stuck at the gas station he definitely deserves a raise and some praise! read more

Around 6pm today the old lady cashier behind the register give me a bad impression of the place. If I could give it 0 stars for my experience today I would. I walked in and with the intention of getting all the types of tickets there were. I got in line, waited my turn, gave her the money I prepared $10, got incorrect play tickets, was blamed for her messing up, verbalized again to her what I said earlier, she said she didnt hear it, told me to wait on the side after she helped out the people in line. 1st off she had the nerve to try to put her mistakes on me by blaming me, then failed to apologize, and at the end was rude by telling me to wait in line again for her to fix her mistake after she helped others first (at least 6 customers were in line, it was out the door). I'm in the service industry too and I know for sure this is the wrong way to handle things. She was supposed to own up to her mistakes up front, apologize, and immediately fix it. She didnt take responsibility for her mistake and tried to shift blame front the start instead of trying to find out what was the mistake. She handled the situation very badly. She needs some training or retraining. If she handled this situation like this it makes me wonder how many others situation did she also approached with this bad attitude that might not have been reported. Definitely not management material. read more

Not a fan. I just wanted to get a quick car wash. After getting into the car wash, I looked outside and saw an employee was wiping down the cars after the car wash. Which is great, I appreciate that. But I specifically went to a gas station car wash so it would be quick and easy and I wouldn't have to tip anyone since I didn't have cash. He started drying my car as soon as I exited, so I didn't even have a chance to tell him I didn't need it. And as soon as he finished he stood at my window and asked me for a tip. I found one dollar in my wallet and rolled down the window and apologized for not having more cash. He gave me a dirty look and shook his head. If the gas station is going to make him dry cars outside they should be paying him more, so I can pay my $6 for a cheap easy car wash and not worry about tipping anyone. read more

I love this place, not because I've been here, but because of an album. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven is a musical masterpiece. Before visiting this shop I recommend listening to the song Storm from the before mentioned album. I love you read more

Beware! I got card frauded here!!!! This has always been one of the shadier gas stations and yet I still made the mistake of using my card at the pump. Now I have to wait to be reimbursed. I've seen people steal bikes from the front, run out with beer, ask for money on many many different occasions. Monitor your station better!!!! read more

I hate pumping at ARCO, but man...they're EVERYWHERE!!!! There's more ARCOs than CHEVERON or MOBIL. It's close to my parent's house and conveniently located by the 22 fwy. It's cheaper than most locations. The only con is that they charge you a fee for using your ATM card. I know...don't tell me; I know I shouldn't be using my ATM card at gas stations, but I just don't like carrying cash! It's brightly lit, very new, and clean. There's mini TV monitors at each fuel dispenser. read more

I've always gone through the drive through car wash and today it stopped mid wash on me. The guy working there told me to pull up and said I moved my car while in there. I told him my car was in park, brake on and the car was off. How did it go half way through the wash and then not work. Continued to be rude and tell me it's my fault and to leave with soap still all over my car. Never coming back for gas or the wash. Lost a good customer today who always tipped him very well just for drying my car off. read more

Great place to get a midnight snack, or anytime of the day. They have a good selction of coffee in the mornings, and every 5th cup is free if you get the card they provide. But no one like to pay 45cents to pump gas so get rid of it ARCO! read more

Warning!!! My car was not even half emptied yet but I was on my way to LA so I thought should just get gas here then. Paid $20 bucks at the price $2.49 per gallon. The pump stopped at $18.86, to saved me a trip, I kept filling till it hit $20. But then when I started the car, the meter showed the gas was only just a quarter more, not anywhere closer to full filled. What the hell? read more

Right on the corner of Brookhurst and Trask, convenient gas station to go to when you are on your way to the 22 west bound. Lots of gas pumps and spacious enough that when it is busy it doesn't seem like a mad house. read more

The pump was horribly slow and didn't stop automatically. My tank overflowed and gas was still coming out of the nozzle.

If I can give them a negative review I would, let me start off by saying this gas station is less than 1/2 mile from my home it's next to freeway on ramp that I take every day, but I do my best to avoid it, but on those rare occasions that have to go there and I feel like getting a coffee, never fails the two women attendants are just plane rude. And it's not just me I see them treat all customers in a very dismissive attitude, they Seem to be mad at the world... Fair warning, if you can help it avoid this gas station, or pay at the pump. read more
