Had no issues coming here. Easy transaction. Gas pumps were working. It looks like a small gas station but it's actually not, there's pumps on the other side as well. There's a full service auto mechanic shop there and a convenience store. They don't offer diesel fuel so that's a bummer, other than that everything went well! read more

My daughter had a problem with her car battery, she went to the Arco service center. They took care of the problem quickly and proficiently , even provided a loaner vehicle. I would highly recommend their services.. read more

There's a service center here that is full service, but I came for an oil change since I saw good reviews online. It was a bit uncommon to go to a gas center service center, but I'm glad I did. The service here was too notch and prices very reasonable. They let me bring my own oil and filter which some shops won't do (I get oil changes aren't big on profit, but if people trust you they will come back for major repairs). They've suffered a bit in business due to the recent wildfires so happy to support a good local business. Will bring both vehicles here. read more

When I went inside to get a drink, there were no prices on any of them. When I asked the owner on how much things cost, he told me to grab it and "find out"......like tf, just tell me how much a certain item cost. Bro was hella rude and talked to me like I was retarded. And after I bought a drink, he didn't let me stand on the concrete steps I front of the mini mart. He told me to stand on the sidewalk near the trash can. It was like I was in the 1950s. Bro can suck a d1ck. read more

Very clean place with good staff never too busy and I was amazed how clean the restroom was

Fantastic mechanics! Very friendly, fast, and well priced. It says my review needs to be at least 85 characters long. There, I made it.

Excellent service. I've been coming back for 10 years and have never been disappointed. Don't hesitate, come here and they'll help you!

Gads, gas is high in California! I will not complain about our prices when I compare them! However if you need gas and you live in CA, there's not much choice. Convenient location right off the freeway. read more

Long overdue review. I've been coming to this gas station for years not so much for the gas but for the mechanic! Avo and his team are extremely efficient, fair, and kind. Every time I've needed something done they get it done so quickly, are extremely communicative, and charge fairly. Today I had a low pressure tire signal and was concerned about my tires and they took a look immediately at no cost. If I have to ever pick up the car after hours they leave the keys with the gas station attendant. My in laws have come here for years and so glad we started coming too. Highly recommend for your car problem needs! read more

We didn't stop by to purchase gas but to wipe my dirty windshield. Thank goodness they have a windshield wiper and paper towels so I could see much better while I was driving. Since I made the pit stop I went in to buy a Lottery Scratcher ticket. read more

Arco Gas Station - Lotto time 2022 - Gas Stations Near Me - Pasadena, California

i'm usually not one to write a review, but these guys here at the Pasadena Arco service center went over the top to help me out. They did the little things without charging me and the things they did charge me were well priced even by today's standards. I've brought several cars here now and each time they seem to do something extra just to help out. It seldom when I see such service so I pass it on to you, here's a place you can rely on. read more

I have a good mechanic, and I don't get smog checks enough to really care... So with that in mind, I'm specifically looking at the gas station aspects of this gas station. As far as I'm concerned, gasoline as a state and federally regulated product doesn't have enough variation in it for me to worry about different additives, marketing campaigns, or other schtick... Particularly if you're purchasing gasoline at a major company. All that to say, price is absolute king. It is actually pretty incredible how much the price of gasoline can vary from corner to corner, even within a city. Somehow, Chevron and Mobil stations sent their prices $.25-$.40 higher than Arco in Pasadena. If you're purchasing a single gallon of gasoline, it probably doesn't matter where you go. However, if you are like most of us and wait until you absolutely have to fill up your tank to get the job done, Arco gas station is probably your best bet. They only take cash or debit card, and with the latter, charged a $.35 convenience fee. If you purchase north of 20 gallons like I do for my truck, this breaks down to a per gallon cost of like 2 cents. Do the math, and you'll see that this is the best deal, considering competitor stations are that $.25-$.40 higher per gallon! This particular article has a very small convenience store and checkout counter, as well as some garage and smog check facilities. It is sort of off the beaten path, and a more or less residential neighborhood. But, if you're leaving the Eaton Canyon area or just a local going to pretty way to Hastings Ranch, give them a try. read more

Arco Gas Station - Why is Cali-gas so expensive? Here's a big part of it... - Gas Stations Near Me - Pasadena, California

Avo the mechanic was amazing! We were visiting from Phoenix and had car trouble. He got us all fixed up and on the road the same day! Great, fast service! read more

I agree with one of the previous comments here , extremely rude elderly man , and I really hate to say it but he's very racist with my husband, I waited a month before posting this review thinking maybe he was having a bad day but every time we go he's unbelievably rude. read more

Gas pump is filling but not running properly as $ 75 for for 1/2 tank gas compact. Cheating obviously. Go somewhere else.

I feel bad for the young lady working the counter. Seems like she's having a bad morning. Her attitude was horrible and really hope it gets better. read more

Good: very clean Bad: .35 up charge for credit card, and tv comes on immediately after you lift nozzle. Alas. read more

Some of the cheapest prices for brand name gas in the Pasadena area. The 35 cent debit card charge comes to only about 2 cents a gallon. The self serve air compressor for tires is usually 75 cents, but it's free with gas purchase. It's rarely busy. Usually I can pull up to a tank and start pumping right away. read more

I was telling a friend, everytime I go in HERE the main short lady who's always there moves me to another machine to run my card, NO MATTER CHIP, SLIDE, DOESN'T MATTER. WOW. read more

This review is just to let management know that they have a thief working for them. Young Armenian guy. I actually like this ARCO, but when I see somebody stealing, I won't stand quiet. read more

Start with change the side mirror the next thing I have Avo he is the Manager changing all 4 new tires did alignment and change 2rear brakes. I'm happy with the job he did so far and I will come back for his service in the future. Honestly is what I will be royal to the job well done. Cost are fair, thank you. read more

My truck had broken down and I managed to roll it over to the gas station, it had trouble starting. I had the mechanic take a look at it and it was a very simple easy fix, he grabbed a zip tie and tied two loose wires together and fixed the issue within 2 minutes. I basically needed new spark plugs and an old wire replaced. He didn't charge me for it at all, which was extremely gracious, most mechanics would never do that. Support these guys! read more

I payed cash inside the cashier her name is Destiny was busy talking to a friend or a colleague. I had to interrompre their conversation to get her attention. When I tried to put gas there was a leek I went back to let her know She was very rude about it she yelled that she is busy with a customer very rudely I told her im a customer too she kept me waiting I had to tell her that that's the worst customer service ever!!!! Then a lady called Norma offered to help. Such a mess to hire rude people like this read more

This is a good gas station. It sucks that Arco doesn't take credit cards though. I think they have a little mechanic shop behind/attached to this place. Never been there. I mostly like this place because there are never any lines.They sell a few drinks and random snacks inside but it is a very small place. Not a full AM/PM or 7/11. No ice or booze. :( read more

Great prices. Wish Arco would take card so I can get points on my card. Location is great but can be difficult to maneuver when there are many cars. read more

They have cheap gas, but that's all. They don't take credit cards and you get screwed if you use your debit card, I did it twice and each time I got double billed. If you use your card, check your bank account, just to be on the safe side. Go there if you have enough cash, otherwise go somewhere else and pay a little bit more, it's not worth the hassle read more

This gas station is awesome! We have brought our cars here when we have flat tires or low air in tires and they have checked them quickly and efficiently. They fixed my tire this morning In 10 minutes!it had two nails in it. Avo plugged them up and I was on my way. Great customer service. Highly recommend. Thank you Avo! read more

Great service. Took my truck in to get smogged. Minimal wait. Shant ran the check while I waited. Gas pumps were out of order on the day that I went for some reason. read more

Drove in with no appt and was greeted by friendly and attentive mechanics. They diagnosed the problem on the spot and replaced my brakes and routers in 1 hour. They had a line of cars waiting to be serviced, yet they were able to accommodate me as they are organized and well staffed. They were honest and fair with pricing. A neighbor with a Bmer recommended them, and he was absolutely right. Highly recommend! read more
