Arrived at 5:oo pm on Monday without an appointment. Asked if I could get a SMOG. Sure pull in here. Completed paperwork and 15 minutes late, I was done. 29.99 for smog plus cert. Quick, excellent service. read more

I came here for the cheap gas. The cash price for regular gas on 5/30/2024 was $4.49 which made it one of the cheapest gas stations around. It does have weird pricing since the mid grade was $0.40 more at $4.89 and premium was $5.19. There were a lot of pumps and plenty of room to maneuver around. This Arco gets bonus points from me for having squeegees, windshield fluid and paper towels. A lot of gas stations I've been to doesn't even have these things available. They do have an air and water machine but the water was not working. Unfortunately it's not free to operate. Both air and water requires separate payments of $2 in quarters or $2.50 if paying by card. read more

ARCO - $4.49 cash price for regular gas on 5/30/2024 - Gas Stations Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

See all

On the maps app they state they have restrooms but they do not I don't recomendado coming here

Best prices in town! This location is heaven sent for the East Bay. Right across from Bayfair Mall and not too far from the freeway. They do only have 8 gas pumps but they do also have a service center for those needing more than gas. A small store inside for refreshments. Picture of gas prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. My go to fill up spot out this way. read more

ARCO - Gas prices 1.2.2020 - Gas Stations Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

They "preauthorized" for 125 and my gas was 56. They took both. I did NOT get the 125 back. So I called the bank to complain and file a dispute. They told me it was between myself and Arco. In other words, they ripped me off. read more

I bought gas here on Sun 2/21/10. When I go to Arco I usually pay CASH because they don't take Visa. Reg 87 was $2.779 x 8.152G = $22.65. I saw single serving of Coconut M&M's. I didn't buy them, but just if you're looking for them, they are there. read more

Usually the lowest price on Unleaded in San lorenzo Plus they have a small store that has all the basic ingredients to make Sysrup. Lol

Filled up my car rental earlier today. Cheapest gas in the area. Very busy gas station as most Arco stations are. They do not have the usual convenience store at this location. Still some snacks and sodas can be bought inside. Good place to fill up the tank if you do not mind lower quality gas. read more

ARCO - Gas Stations Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

My car was having issues starting for the past week and I was in the neighborhood for gas. I noticed they had a body shop so decided to ask. Kelby was knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed the problem. Once he got the new starter, it was quickly installed and he even filled up my tank. Then best prices on auto service and gas! So relieved and thankful my car is in good running shape again! read more

Honestly, the best gas station. The cashiers are very helpful. I have seen them help elderly customers pump their gas for them. The price is cheap and unbeatable. They also have the best smog and oil change prices. Every time i come here i can leave happy. read more

Arco here, for a few days now, is the cheapest in the 'dro area. since being bought by BP. arco seldom sells the cheapest gas. reasons for cheaper gas: -excess inventory heading into the holidays if so, prices will go up in december. -expect slower sales since people out of town -got a cheaper price. gas drips: -saw on drive by. -prices unreliable in 'dro area -false gas prices reporting aplenty. read more

I never thought I would review a gas station, but honestly, this place has changed my misanthropic attitudes I've held from living in the Bay my whole life and dealing with a lot of assholes in that time. I came on April 16th to get some gas, and this is the closest station to my house that is somewhat on the way to the freeway. I never, ever pay for gas with my card because 1) I'm afraid of skimmers stealing my information, and 2) usually gas is cheaper if you pay with cash. I like this Arco because the kiosk that allows you to pay for gas without venturing inside to interact with a human being also accepts cash, not just card, so I put in a wrinkly $5 bill in there. Unluckily for me, the machine jammed because it is snobby and does not like wrinkly old money. Then it threw up the "out of service" sign, and alas, I had to go inside to talk to a human being. Lorena, the manager, was on duty that day, and came outside and checked on the machine to confirm that it was indeed jammed. She told me to write down my number and name and she'll give me a call when the company that comes to pick up the cash will come and open the machine, and take out the jammed bill and save it for me, since she did not have the key to that. I wrote it off as a $5 loss in my mind, because I have a generally low amount of faith in strangers. That way, I'm never disappointed when they don't even reach the very low bar I set for them. Come Wednesday, I get a call from Lorena telling me that the people came and took out my jammed $5 bill, and that it was ready for me to pick it up. Lo and behold, when I get to the gas station, they had it, even more wrinkled than before! I immediately used that to buy more gas because this was one of the most exceptional experiences I've had with customer service in my life, and it was from a gas station! I will always patronize this gas station, but not use the bill machine since my money is always wrinkly! read more

This review is for the mechanics that did my smog check. They had every opportunity to rip me off. They did a pre-test for me on a Camaro that was flagged for a "test-only" station. The car did not pass the pre-test. The problem ended up being a simple blown fuse. The mechanics here were able to diagnose this problem, replace the fuse, and get me on my way so that I could pass at a "test -only" station for no extra charge. I have been in this same situation at another station, and had to pay for an hour of labor. I really appreciate the honesty of the mechanics here. Another plus..they have $10 off coupons for the "test-only" station. read more

I am a little upset with my self for not knowing better, but more upset with the smog people at this Arco. I went there on 4/23/16 for a smog and my check engine light was on. I was hoping it wasn't something that would cause my car to not pass. Of course they were more that happy to test my car, even with the check engine light on, which I later found out it should not have even been tested. So they took my money and told me my car did not pass. I talked to my regular mechanic, awesome shop (Island Auto), and he told me that my car should have never been tested if the light was on. There's a lot to be said about a business that is willing to make a quick buck for one time business and a place that wants to do the right thing and have repeat business. I've had all my cars tested at this Arco in the past, for over 12 years, but will not spend my money at this station again. read more

Word of warning - I went into this Arco on Thursday afternoon and paid for $25 gas with my debit card, and by Friday morning at 9am I had 2 fraudulent charges to Loot Crate totalling $383. I don't use my debit card, ever. It stays in my center console in case I need cash (rare) or these cases where I can't use credit for gas. My credit card buys everything (reward dollars) and my bank is there to pay the card off. I mention this to emphasize the lack of possible other swipes that could've compromised my card. I am considering letting management/authorities know about this, but at the very least will not be using any more Arco stations without cash. It makes sense that debit skimmer theives would prefer to target the spots that don't allow credit cards. Luckily Wells Fargo is FREAKING AWESOME and fixed my account quickly and happily...that yelp review will follow. 2 stars for having cheap gas. Could've been 3 but its a clusterfvck of frustration trying to get to an open pump due to combination of cheap gas, poverty, and extreme overpopulation. read more

These people are such jerks. Once I went down to get my smog checked. I asked the guy how long it would take. He said 10 mintues. I said, ok, that's fine. But it have a dr. appointment, so I have to leave in no more than 15 mintues. Otherwise, I will just come back later. He said, 'no problem. I'll be done in 10 minutes." He brings my car in, hooks it up....50 minutes later, he *released* my car back to me. He had hooked me up so I couldn't leave, then went on a test drive with another car. I missed my appointment and couldn't get another for 2.5 months. Asshole! Normally I wouldn't ever even think about going back but the guy I usually go to has a broken machine. I called to ask how much a smog test is. The girl said "It depends on your car, but they start at $30." I said "I have _________ kind of car. How much would it be?" She said "I don't know. The guy who works here is working. He said to just bring the paper down and he'll tell you then." I said "I'm price checking. I don't want to go all the way down there just to find you're $100. Please just tell me how much you charge." She said "I don't know." So I said "Let me get this straight...you don't want my money?" Then she hung up on me. Lying, cheating, lazy, assholes. That's about as good as I can muster for these people. read more

These guys are very good, make a long story short. It would have cost me around $300 for the part plus labor. The owner and his team made it happen for under $250 for everything. Thank you! ~Leo read more

I've been coming here for years. And this place still looks the same. So much nostalgia. The station get very busy at times. But things seems to get handle smoothly. They also do oil changes and smog checks. Pretty awesome one-stop shop read more

My favorite Gas station. The staff are always so friendly.

My family and I have been coming here for auto repair for years and as long as Jeff and Pao are there, we won't go anywhere else! For years we all had older cars that needed very frequent work and we have always been treated fair and given great deals on auto repair and maintenance! We used to live close by so we'd get gas there too, however, now we don't live close enough to fuel up there regularly. We all still go there for oil changes and other maintenance and repairs. I recommend this place to anyone who wants good honest affordable service! read more

This place has watered down oil and wont keep your gas tank full. Dont buy any drinks they have spit in it. You can taste the slimmy spit in the drink. Sometimes they dont give the correct change after you buy something. If you purchase cigarettes they will charge you more money. Sad but true. We cant go on like this but this what they want to people. read more

I am actually writing about their "Hot Chocolate" This location does not have self serve "Hot Chocolate" But I know the one on Harder does! If you let the Hot Chocolate cool of it actually taste better than Starbucks!! Cheaper also! read more

A little expensive and took a little longer then what they said but my truck is running like a champ. Will Def go back. Stayed 3 hours passed closing just to make sure it got done. Thanks guys. read more

I am over 50 years old and I never was so turned off by any business operation to the point where I took my money back and walked out the door until today. The station attendant that was working there Sunday, morning on Nov 7th 2010 needs to be retrained. I went up to the outdoor service window and pushed my money through the collection draw and the attendant wouldn't bother to turn his body to the window to collect my $40. I waved to him and using sign language let him know the money was in the drawer. He looked at me and motioned to me to come into the shop. Upon entering the shop I casually asked, is the drawer not working or something? And he said, the door was unlocked and he wanted me to come in instead. I was annoyed but plopped down my $40. He scolded me and said don't throw your money. Honestly I did not throw my money down nor was I in the mood to deal with his bad attitude. So I picked by up my money and said "seeya" and walked out the door. Fortunately I didn't have to drive very far to find another gas station that sold gas even cheaper than the Arco. You lost a customer buddy because you projected such a lazy, snarky attitude. read more
