Worst customer service. I guess they are having a bad day that they needed to raise their voice to the customer. I did nothing wrong but follow their debit card machine. It said "type the pin OR press enter" they raised their voice saying they don't accept debit without pin. I didn't know. You never told me. And I couldn't understand what you were saying cuz your broken English. (Im i migrant myself, no offense .I respectfully try to understand ) I'm sorry ? Why ppl need to try to fight instead just tell me they need my pin. I didn't bring attitude and I even said thank you after that. They ignored. Why don't you act right in someone else's home here in America. read more

I asked to use the restroom politely. The gas station attendant replied rudely, "No". I informed him that I have a medical condition and it is required by state law to allow me to use the employee restroom. Again, he repeatly gave me a one word "No". Luckily the petco allowed me to use the restroom. read more

Five stars for Marc and his amazing team at Arco! I've had nothing but wonderful experiences every time I've come in. From the moment you arrive, you're treated with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. Marc goes above and beyond to make sure you understand what's going on with your vehicle, and he never pushes unnecessary work. I've always felt taken care of--never taken advantage of--which is rare to find these days. You can tell they value their customers and take pride in what they do. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and friendly team to work on your car, I highly recommend Marc and the crew at Arco. They've earned my loyalty! read more

Cheapest gas in HB, or at least for this area. Intersection can be a bit tricky and dangerous so just be careful entering and exiting.

I came from out of town and needed a smog on a used car. Mark Balion helped me out by not only providing excellent service, he pointed me in the direction of AAA to register the car. What a nice experience. read more

I stop here and load up my tank sometimes. This is a good Arco location. I have been coming here for years. It's all cropped up on a busy street. Fuel prices usually go up and down here on certain days. But it has not done that so munch lately with inflation going on. read more

I get my gas here, also get all our car repairs done here. Very good prices and Mark is great, taking my sons car in tomorrow for him. IF you are looking for good mechanics, reasonable prices, call Mark. read more

There's not enough stars to rate this Auto Shop. The first time I had Mark and the guys work on my 1999 Toyota 4 Runner I knew my suv was in good hands. I came in and left my car knowing Mark is gonna take care of me. He is honest and explains what the problem is, and how he is going to fix the problemand explains the whole breakdown of the quote. Easy and very understandable. Mark did a complete motor swap on my 99 4Runner! I was so comfortable and confident leaving it up to Mark and his guys to do this motor swap. The 4Runner runs by amazing with the "new" motor. If you are experience anything unusual with you vehicle and need a mechanic, please do yourself a favor and stop by and see Mark at Arco! I guarantee when you do you will have found your mechanic for LIFE! Thank you Mark and the rest of your guys taking great care of my 4Runner!!! read more

I go to this Arco gas station routinely for gas, but over the years have had a smog inspection completed on my car. The service, cost and customer service has always been excellent. The owner is very nice and very helpful. I called the business very early in the morning over a weekend and the owner answered the phone. I asked if I could make an appointment to get a smog inspection and he said "come on down and we will do the smog check right now. Less then 30 mins later I was driving home with everything completed. Excellent business. read more

I don't know anything about cars. But I read reviews about this place. More like reviews about Marc ( people spell Mark, but I thought I saw his uniform say Marc. I could be wrong though ). Anyhow importantly is the reviews are spot on! I love that I took my car in. He took care of it. And done. No haggle! He made it simple and the price was affordable! I totally get why some say they have been going to him for 10 years +! PS: Speaking to him, I can totally tell her is an honest business man. Doing a good business! read more

I've been a gas client since 2010. I've never thought of taking my cars or trucks for service...really I don't know why. This week after realizing my gas tank hose was leaking when pumping gas I showed Mark. We agreed to bring truck 2-3 days later they were busy luckily I am never in a hurry I got other vehicles I can wait. Diagnosed, upper gas filler hose damaged. Could be little $ could be more$$. Either case, it must be done. Today, I got it back...truck filler hose fix and at a very reasonable price. In the last few weeks I realized Mark has always been there for me. Loan me his battery pack to restart my truck not once not twice but three times. Recently loan me two bits that are rare to take seat out of Chevy Silverado yes...without hesitation. Today, they fixed my Tacoma gas upper filler hose. Furthermore, brother in law also a mechanic unselfishly helped an older senior lady pump gas. He didn't have to do it but he did. I am your local barber at ABC 3 Barber Studio and I strongly recommend this shop for your gas, piggie bait and mechanical full service needs. Don't forget smog too. Thank you read more

So you know when your driving and your dashboard dummy lights come on. You feel nervous instantly, So I checked the car book and the dummy light, was a simple fix , I had low tire pressure. So I went to the Arco on Warner, I needed gas anyway. When I was paying for gas, I asked them where i could get air in my tires. The attendant gave me a code to go around the corner to put the air in myself. Then Mark a mechanic there, said I can do that for you and instantly started filling air in all 4 of my tires. It was such a beautiful surprise That without being asked somebody would instantly help me out. Its so nice to see someone so willing to help out someone in need. A blessing for sure. 5 stars!!! read more

The only gas station I have ever seen with a tombstone in the back! The developer installed it to commemorate the death of his proposal to erect a 94-foot-tall tower on this spot. He enlisted the services of architect Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, to design an oil derrick tower to represent the City's history in oil. Neighbors protested and killed the project. What a shame - a tower designed by the famous architect would be considered a landmark now, 50 years later... read more

Arco - The only gas station I have ever seen with a tombstone in the back! - Gas Stations Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I have been to this Arco for the last 20 years. Today was one of the more humiliating days of my life. The gentleman behind the counter refused to take my money in cash and judged me based off my tattoos. I can't believe in today's day and age that people feel like acting like this. I will never go to this Arco ever again. An absolute disgrace with the level of discrimination that I received. read more

Amazing and Honest garage yo repair your car! I am so glad I found this great place for all my cars. Mark is always there to fix and maintain your car. read more

While this gas station always has the lowest prices and the man who works in the snack store they have is very polite and nice, today I experienced something very alarming. The man who works in the car service portion of it was driving a client's car extremely recklessly. He then proceeded to nearly hit my car and flipped me off?! He gave me the dirtiest look I genuinely thought he was about to come out of his shop and hurt or harass me. I was too afraid to take a picture of him, but if anyone knows the man who works in the car shop at this location, I would appreciate if he would have a talk with management on how he values the safety of his clients' cars and how he controls his temper. If it were my reckless driving that attributed to this reaction I'd be a little more understanding, but this is unacceptable. read more

The gas flows so painfully slow the last 50 cents It really makes you wonder if they are just trying to make it go so slow that people just leave the change behind in the company can pocket the money or if the gas close so slow That people would hang up the nozzle and leave without getting all the gas nor their money I feel like this is kind of shady practice because all of the gas stations are the $.60 higher and gas and for the reason this one is super slow however it makes you not want to pump the last $.50 into your tank. Other than that the Clark was absolutely polite completely friendly even though there's a lady in there trying to tell him that he was doing his job and he stayed very cordial and professional. kudos to him!!! read more

The night attendant was so nice and helpful! I had to pump my tires with air after getting gas and he lent me a PSI tester to check how low they were before going over to the air pump. I didn't know exactly what my tires should be at so he called over a friend and got him to check for me. They were both super sweet and I really appreciated it! Plus the gas prices here are cheaper than the one right by my house! I'll definitely be returning and making this station my regular spot. read more

Be careful using this gas station, I use this gas station on 16 October and by 20 October I've had five payments from my card the cost me over $575. I guess they're reading machine must be tap to somebody else or their system at Arco has been hacked. All of the places that they indicate that I use my card is up in Harbor city Inglewood San Pedro and Gardena. Do not use their card readers read more

We got an oil change for a very good price at the auto shop. Mark was very helpful and kind. He did not try to rip us off. Price was great and customer service was even better! I definitely recommend coming here and having Mark help you. read more

This place has become one of the lowest priced gas stations here in HB. I use to go that ARCO on McFadden and Edwards but it's a USA Gasoline now. So it's this place or the ARCO on Slater and Goldenwest. Nothing else special about this place otherwise. read more

Well I have been getting my gas from here for years..!!! Mark the service manger looks after my 2006 Wrx like it's his..!! Also my M3 has had work done by Mark and his guys....I recommend my friends and family to go here. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Took my BMW to a dealership and they said I needed a new engine. Seeked out a second and third opinion and it was the turbo. I have a Diesel BMW and most independent shops won't work on Diesel engines. Took it to Mark and he installed a replacement turbo and charged a great price to install it and didn't upsell or charge beyond the agreed upon labor costs. Mark is a great mechanic and charges great prices and isn't afraid to tell you if he isn't sure that he can do the repair. I will be taking all of my repairs to him in the future. read more

The cashier treats women like their incompetent. Yes I know your debit only and no you don't need to tell me how to park my car at a gas pump..... read more

Very Disappointed! I have been coming to this station for many years. Today, I filled my tank and as I was putting the controller back in place, I noticed that the price and gallons continued to run.. I continually yelled and whistled for the attendant to come out and was ignored until he noticed others around getting gas and wondering what the commotion was.. I had stopped my buy at $11 using a gift card. By the time the "owner" came out, the price had crept up to $14+... This didn't appear to be a concern to the owner as he explained to my wife and I that he was well aware of the faulty pump, but there was no way it could have gone from $11 to $14+ within the few minutes while the pump was cheating me. I asked for my $3 back and he acted like I was cheating him! I won't be back and warn others to pay attention while pumping because this didn't appear to be a "one time thing" with this clown! For $3 and a crap attitude mixed with superiority, this joker lost the business of my family and I, for good! Anyway, you've been warned! read more

Horrible customer service. The credit card machine wasn't working so I went inside to pay. The employee was sarcastic and rude. The stars are for the prices. read more

Car shop - Amazing! - Mark, the mechanic. Connected to an Arco gas station - honest, established, family owned, doesn't rip you off - checked my vehicle, didn't charge me because there wasn't a problem - great customer service - great job. Knows what he's talking about. - Convenient when picking up car. Can pay and pick up with the Arco cashier up to 11pm. That's unheard of. - I'm a new Hb resident, drove my 2011 Ford Focus from Detroit Michigan. Have never had a new car or anything other than a ford and a GM Safari van extended model. I'm very familiar to fixing up an old Ford with my dad who is still in mi. by my side. I've learned a lot A female looking for a decent car shop on her own is not easy, I was lucky Marks shop was nearby and honest. - Customer comes from San Diego to see mark. - call day before to set up a good time for both of your schedules when bringing in vehicle read more

I first discovered this place when I went in with no background story after I moved from New Jersey. Right away I counted them as trustworthy mechanic's for my 1998 Mustang. I told them that another mechanic had recommended quite a few updates. Mark told me that they weren't necessary and he is genuine and honest. I have developed a trustworthy experience with this Arco. I am moving to Northern California and he told me that I could call any time to verify another mechanic is giving me a fair price for a fix. Highly recommend. read more

When we moved to HB we didn't have a clue as to where to go for a oil change. Since Arco gas & Smog was walking distance we gave it a try. Pleasantly surprised with Marks honesty and reasonable prices we have since become a BIG fan of his! We have most our maintenance done as well there and I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Close to a lot of shopping locations and generally one of the cheapest gas stations in HB! Can't complain

They have the best jerky selection inside... Amazing gas prices and also I took my car in for an oil change and this spot has the best prices in town. read more

I've been troubled for a while now...seems like everytime I fill up with a $30 or $40 worth of gas my tank is never full...??? I put in over 14 gallons this morning and had almost 1/4 tank of gas ( my tank holds 18 gallons) but only went up to just a little over 3/4 full ??? Something is FISHY !!! read more

Not the cheapest Cash Only ARCO in the area but close. I'd stop here if I was passing from the same side of the street but I would not put the effort to make a U-turn to get to this ARCO. The ARCO with the Armstrongs attached is the best one in the area. That ARCO has coupons to pass smog for $20 most places charge $55. read more

My car broke down in the Petco parking lot. I ran over to Arco and Mark was more than helpful. He immediately brought tools over to check out my car, and got it started. He offered to keep it over night so someone could check it out the next morning. He was so friendly and accommodating I was almost shocked. It turned out my battery was completely dead and it was a reasonable price to fix. I couldn't have imagined a better place to break down next to! read more

Mark, that runs the repair shop is awesome. Trustworthy and honest. Very fairly priced. Will give you the straight answers and not try to get you into something that you can't afford to fix. If they can't do the work for you, then they will recommend a place or they will just tell you what you need to do yo find a place on your own. I really don't know a better mechanic shops that would do that. Actually I don't know any. If you want an opinion you should at least go see him. A great family owned neighborhood business. read more

Attendants have poor customer service/very unhelpful!! I used this Arco all the time. Not anymore. I accidentally left my wallet on top of my car when getting out my card to pay for gas. Then I realized I what happened after the fact, around 15 minutes later and returned to the gas station to ask for help to see if anyone had turned in my wallet and see if they would let me review their video cameras to see what happened. The guy who worked there told me, "It's not my job to help you. Why did you leave your wallet on top of your car? That's your fault, too bad for you!" Then when I called my husband and he arrived a few minutes later the attendant completely changed his attitude and started to helped us. I felt like the attendant treats women differently than men. Bottom line, a little empathy goes a long way and the people who work at this gas station don't have any. I was a regular customer, and now won't be returning because of the way I was treated. read more
