THEY STOLE MY MONEY!!!! Javier and whoever the knock off T-Mobile reject dude are so incompetent. Charged me $20 gas, I paid in cash, but the pump never activated. The screen just said "wait a moment" and never activated to get my gas. Somehow it turned into an additional 30 minutes counting their cash and verifying instead of them just fixing the issue and switching pumps or giving me a refund. The silly ***** never went outside to look at what the pump was saying , they just insisted that the "system on the register said its completed". Such lazy uneducated workers!!! THEY STOLE MY MONEY!!!!!!! read more

ARCO - AM PM STOLE MY MONEY AND DID NOT GIVE ME MY GAS!!!!! - Gas Stations Near Me - Fremont, California

This is a big Arco with a lot of bays, better prices compared to Chevron across the street, a well-stocked convenience store, and is pretty clean. I was happy to see that they had hands-free payments except it did not work. Other than that nit, this is as good as it gets. read more

I don't pump gas here; I solely visit this establishment because I love their coffee and their amazing customer service. The store is super clean. It's always busy but they always help you with a smile. Good job! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Came here from San Francisco to get gas and return a rental car in Fremont. With it being 11pm, no restrooms in the area were open. The older gentleman behind the counter, a fellow Filipino, said he refused the restroom past a certain hour, even if I purchased a full tank of gas. I do not recommend this gas station read more

Normally Chevron/Shell is my preferred fuel. But had to stop here on my way to Oakland. I used to avoid this place since it's so hard to get in and get out because of traffic on both streets. Luckily traffic wasn't that bad. Kind of spacious gas station. They offer contact-less payment option in gas station - unfortunately it wasn't working. Nice and clean place. Decent service in the convenience store as well. read more

Oooooh, look at this squeaky clean ARCO! Okay, maybe it's not totally squeaky clean, but it's better than most ARCOs. Nice and spacious, with the new generation of pumps that are not stuck on "With Paymedia, you have the power for your success." Prices are similar to the one on Stevenson. I've found this one to be more convenient for 880 drivers than the Stevenson location. Not only is it closer to the freeway and on a faster road (Auto Mall), the surrounding streets make it easier to go in any direction when you leave. That is definitely NOT the case on Stevenson, so this gives the Grimmer one another star. I haven't been in the AM/PM yet, hope to do so soon. I've found that the low reviews on Yelp concern the AM/PM and not the gas station portion. This ARCO is a winner. read more

Is an upgrade from my previous review. This time I did not go in and have to deal with employees. Their price was the best on this corner.

No one expects good service from gas stations or their employees. I get that. But this place by far has the worst people working. They have attitude. They aren't helpful. I couldn't believe the way they were talking to customers. I don't know if they're upset at life but maybe that attitude is the reason you're working minimum wage at a gas station. Fix the attitude and you might get a real job one day. Cashier told me she can't exchange my propane can because it's not Blue Rhino. Went to Lowe's down the street and they exchanged it for me. Blue Rhino. What a lazy POS she couldn't even complete a basic transaction. I'd recommend not coming here. If you must stop, pay at the pump. Avoid the lazy workers. read more

Came by to fill up the other day as this is the cheapest Top Tier gas station in Fremont. This Arco features pay at the pump, perfect for debit card or Arco Gift Card Users. Fuel pump was decrepit and required numerous attempts to fill up my tank. My bucket of water was missing its squeegee... My fuel pump was also missing receipt paper...thus resulting a visit to the pay island for a receipt. ...at least the gas station was clean and had paper towels at my pump? read more

ARCO - Pay at the pump! - Gas Stations Near Me - Fremont, California

Found this place via the Gas Guru app, and it is cheap gas! Downside though, they are limited in what credit cards they accept so if you want to, I would encourage you to bring cash. Overall, if you happen to stop by, get some gas! If not, I wouldn't waste your time travelling here just to save $2. Cards accepted here are: ARCO PumpPass (giftcard),ARCO Business Solutions, Fuelman...(Check out my photo to see if yours makes the list!) read more

Affordable gas but I've gone a few times and I see a lot homeless and even random people asking for money. I wish the station workers would try to stop this. I've see a few ladies get asked for money and literally get hit on at the same time . Not cool! read more

#1 The outside Payent machines were all out of order. #2 I went inside to pay and they dont take CREDIT CARDS!??!?!?! Are u fucking shittin me?!?!? A gas station that doesnt take credit cards in 2017? #3 Then they charge you a fee to use debit cards!!! The guy had the nerve to give me a dirty look for asking why they didn't take credit cards. read more

Lots of pumps and cheap gas the cheapest around these parts. There is also a mini mart for coffee, snacks and drinks. The little plaza next door offers more food if your hungry. When I go to the Peak I always stop here to fill up in gas. read more

Arco AM-PM are individualy franchised (i.e. sold to individuals) so pricing isn't uniform at Arco-PM beyond the branded gas, coffee (1.79), pastries, cooked/baked eats. beer pricing above aberage, not much selection. few big bottle micros. buys: glacier water .30 cents/gal. -located at side of building. take outs: -franchisee make their $$ from in store sales, not from the gas some owners don't even show up, they use hire managers, etc...... -hearsay successful franchisees offered distressed sites "free, no cost" by arco. -arco ampm an upscale version of 7-11. read more

I love me some AM/PM. BUT, and wait for it... it's a big but.... how the *bleep* do you not accept credit cards??? I understand maybe requiring a minimum amount, like $5, but not accepting them at all and only accepting debit, unacceptable for a large gas chain. With that being said, they do have a large selection for a convenience store. read more

I come here for the decent has prices but alot of the people working there are like shady. I paid $20 for gas but they gave me $19.95, it's not a big deal but don't steal money from what I paid just so it adds up for your swindly arse Someone else told me they frequently experience this, I was told there were times where they would take off a whole $5 when you pay for gas, multiple times . I was informed to watch out for the man with a Pony tail. But the others ones are shady too. Make sure you ask for a receipt after you pay . I'm guessjng they pick on Asians. I'm contacting the manager the next time I see this low life shit activity read more

Came here at 12:25am and was refused service by the male employee working the register. I was confused with another workers hand gesture and did not know if she was calling me over to pay or not and had commented to her it was confusing. Apparently this was rude and disrespectful to the male worker, he refused service to me for asking a question. Interesting thing as well is if you are non Latino you are treated differently and more rudely. I've been refused service 2 times for no other reason then asking questions from being confused with who to pay.... If anyone has information on the appropriate people to contact please do share. As the male clerk refused to give me corporate number and has only given me a manager name Haydy Martinez who just so happens was not there both times he has refused service, not even sure this is even a manager or someone who even works there. Hate to say this but have never felt so discriminated against. Will be reporting this to the BBB and will explore all possibilities by contacting their corporate office to try and address what is going on with this location and how customers are being treated and possibly being discriminated against. read more

Bought gas Wed 4/3/13 at Arco because I had cash in my wallet & was in the area. It's an easy on/off from AutoMall Pkwy when you don't want to deal with Costco gasline. Reg 87 was $3.839/gallon, I got 9.032 gallons = $34.67. CASH for cheap price, no credit cards. There's a bathroom inside, didn't use. read more

Jolie & Nick Employees like these two, are what cause reoccurring business. This place employees winners with can do attitudes. Other AMPM's in the area, should probably model their hiring around the parameters that this owner does. Around 5pm on 02/14/2018 I went into this AMPM for flowers yesterday. I walk in, grab the last remaining bouquet, and proceed to drip water all over the floor. It looked like I emptied the bucket. I heard " I hear that!" to which I responded, "Kind of hard not too huh?", the employee smiles and immediately goes to get a mop. I smile and ask if I may clean the mess myself, to which she responds "that's ok! I work here, I'll clean it for you", I asked if she was sure, to which she smiled and said "that's alright, I'm glad to clean it up". I let her know I appreciated that and asked her name. I thanked her again. This happened in less than 60 seconds. Jolie is a valuable employee. To the owner of this AMPM, I hope you realize how valuable this employee is. An attitude like Jolie has, will take her to greater jobs, quickly. I'd invest in her, heavily. There's more! So I'm standing at the register. I buy the flowers. Realize there's only one flower still alive. Here's the conversation after I had already paid: Me: "There's only one flower still alive man" Him: "Would you like me to get you new flowers?" Me: "No way! you don't any more flowers in back!" Him: "Nah, we don't" Me: "Well, could you help me out bro?" Him: "How can I help?" Me: "You can throw the rest of these flowers away, after I take the one that's still alive, that'd be awesome." Him: "You know what, I'd be glad to, I'm going to refund these flowers as well." Me: "No way" Him:"Yes, of course, they're all dead anyway and you only want the one, so we couldn't do that to you." Me: "What's your name?" Him:"Nick" To the owner: This is next level customer service. I didn't ask for anything other than to have the dead flowers thrown away. Nick went beyond what a "normal" employee would do. He identified a customer; with what seemed to be an issue; provided a solution in a quickly and efficient manner, then executed to his fullest ability. Nick could be a customer service rep, that kind of can do attitude will take him far. I would consider investing in Nick, just as heavily as Jolie. read more

Well as far a gas stations goes this one is not bad, what make this a place I would return to, it is within a few miles from my work and I can get gas before heading out. The prices are compatible, but they are not the most expensive or cheapest, just right down the middle. The station is always clean and well maintained, the washer fluid is filled and the garbage can are maintained too, so in a gas station there is not much more I can ask for. read more

Aaaaaaaakkkkk! The green tea soda has surpassed 7Eleven's banana slurpee as the most disgusting fountain drink ever, and whatever came out of the diet doctor pepper spout it was not diet doctor pepper. Cups were in the wrong tubes, small straws in both bins and no long straws. Outside, one gas pump couldn't read a credit card, and signs were inconclusive on whether or not they take credit... I hope that funky taste wasn't pipe lubricant or something. read more

Had an interesting experience at this particular location. My family and I went in to buy gas and coffee. I go to the register to purchase my coffee and the man at the cash register asked me if I wanted to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I responded "no thank you!" Right after I replied, he says okay that'll be (whatever it costed) "weirdo" but mumbles the mumble part. I didn't catch it the first time. I went back to the store because my uncle wanted a coffee, too! So I went back in and he calls me to his register but mumbles "weirdo" I can take you here! As soon as the transaction is finished he mumbles again but this time "Get the fuck out" here's your change! Taking a look at all the lower reviews on this page and it looks like I'm not the only one that experienced horrible customer experience. LMAO This happened on June 3 at around 9AM. I didnt think too much of this at first since I realize that working at a gas station must be miserable. But, hey! Here's a 1-star review for his amazing customer service! *clap clap clap* read more

They don't take credit card and charge you 30 cents for using debit card. The place smells like pee. Never go here again.

This Arco tends to match the prices of the Costco gas station down the road so if you are in a hurry, this is the place to get your gas for the same price. Convenient to 880 so you can easily hop on and hop back on the freeway in a hurry if need be. Often cheaper than the gas stations down on Stevenson Blvd. For example, recently, the 87 Octane gas was 6 cents cheaper at the Arco on Grimmer than the Arco gas station on Stevenson. Lots of gas pumps, which is a plus when you are in a hurry as there is often a open pump or a pump open after a short wait. Be sure to have cash in hand otherwise be prepared to pay an additional fee to use your bankcard. read more

This Arco I don't come to often because it's kind of out the way from me. It can be a bit hard getting into here from the street since it does get really crowded here. I only come here if I'm in the area, but they do have cheap gas along with Arco on Stevenson. It's one of the cheapest ones in Fremont. The Am/Pm store isn't too big but it does the trick if you need a quick drink or snack. read more

I come to this station to get my gasoline and, sometimes, for a refill cup-of-coffee. This station is cash or debit card only. The bad part of using a debit card is being charged an extra 45-cents for using it. Prices for gasoline is very competitive compared to other stations. The location is convenient as it is near both the 880 and 680 Freeway. There are a lot of pumps and it is never a long wait. The lines in the store can be long at times but still acceptable. I have never tried any of the foods (burgers, hotdogs, etc.) offered in the store - there are many restaurants nearby like Wendy's, McDonald's, etc., for meals. I like coming here for my gasoline but do wish they take credit cards - sometimes it is a hassle to carry cash. read more

One of the best gas prices if not the best gas price in Fremont. Easy access from Grimmer and Auto Mall. Nice and spacious Arco with an AM/PM . The AM/PM is quite small but works for a quick slurpy fill-up or soda. What impresses me about this place is the gas price, easy access and its not packed all the time. I can usually swoop right in and find a pump. read more

The majority of the employees are soo rude. I noticed they treated the Latino customers a lot nicer than the other non Latino customers. I look white but I am Latina so i was curious to how I was going to be treated. As expected, I was treated poorly. They were even talking about me in Spanish. I know they were surprised when I let them have in back in Spanish . We live right around the corner but I will be spreading the word to avoid this place until a better staff is s hired read more

Only debit card allowed here! & there's a service charge of $0.35 while using a debit card. Ehhhhhhh

Been coming to this arco since I started driving, while Roberto who was an old worker who treated many people with disrespect, I was glad to see him relieved from his position there. But what I have seen is the customer service of a newer employee named Brandon. I have seen the customer service shoot only upward since his employment. Every time I walk in to a smile from Brandon, even if he is missing some teeth. I rarely come into the store at other gas stations, but Brandon makes me want to come in. He has many stories of you ask for them. And on top of that it's the best priced gas in Fremont! read more

The cheapest gas in Fremont, with a catch. You have to pay with cash. They have machines at the pumps that will swallow your bills, or you can go inside the AM/PM and wait in line, give some cash to the guy, then have to go back in because you overpaid and need a refund. Or...use an ATM card and pay a minimum 35 cent fee. By the way, for comparisons sake to see if it's worth it, the current price for regular here is $3.75 (same as Costco), and the price at Beacon and Valero down the street is $3.87, so if you have cash, you can save 12 cents a gallon shopping here. read more

Good gas prices but if you need to deal with the safe they are rude and disrespectful. Its not my issue that you can't use your own system correctly. read more

I went here for morning coffee and the machine I got coffee from was cold coffee (accidentally) but I didn't want to waste it, so the staff lady told me to get a soda cup, when a different woman rang me up she said sh was going to charge me double, I explained to her that her co worker told me to use the other cup and she said she will charge me what ever she wants! I went here daily for over 5 years, you lost my business. read more

Cheep gas but that's all. I asked for a cup of tap water for my son to take his meds. The young man behind the counter wanted to charge me $2 for it. they know how to rip off people inside the shop. I would only buy their gas when I have a pump card. Otherwise I would never enter the shop as I will get stuck behind a long line for sure. read more

Service here is very, very RUDE!! Cashiers, all of them, always have a "do not disturb me I am busy doing nothing" expression on their face. They have overcharged me twice, but never apologized. read more

Now I remember why I don't comr here, staff is very rude. Plus they do not accept credit cards. Who does accept credit cards now days

Cheap gas but very rude service, everytime you try to talk to the cashier to get help with something they usually ignore you in a sense. Costumer service should be number one priority, I hope they improve so I can update my review. read more

Great place, the cashiers are cool. I feel bad for them since the customers can be disrespectful and play the victim. Cheap gas and convenient though read more

Every time I come here to buy food the manager Lily always has an attitude. I went Tuesday to get snacks and she was yelling at a costumer. (As a manager you DONT do that) well after the guy left the store, she came out after him telling Not to come back because she would call the cops, then called him a Nergo and a bitch in Spanish. The owner of the store should probably talk to her, I'm a manager and I've never in my life done this because I Know better. Such bad costumer service here. read more

Convenient location and competitive price, although during peak hours it is crazy to get out of there because it is a busy intersection. I've never had to go inside to pay for my gas, I usually stop at this location when I have cash on hand because it is a few cents less if you pay with cash. Not convenient at all to pay with a debit or credit card because their machine charges a service charge. Relatively clean. read more
