Quick and easy oil change. They also helped point out some things that could be fixed that they noticed

I went to this ARCO and used pump #11. While pumping gas, I noticed a leak around the rubber area of the nozzle. There was a noticeable gasoline smell, and I immediately informed the employee that the nozzle was leaking and needed to be fixed. Not only is this a safety hazard, but I was also losing a steady stream of gas that I had paid for. The employee told me the gas was supposedly left behind by the previous customer who used the pump. I took his word for it and left. About a month later, I used the same pump again, and the exact same leak happened. I informed the same employee, but he gave me the same excuse and did not take responsibility or appear to address the problem. A leaking gas nozzle is a serious safety concern and should be inspected and repaired. I recommend avoiding this gas station, or at the very least, avoiding pump #11 until the issue is properly fixed. read more

A few years ago, my friend recommended me to take my car here that was having problems and they always do such a good job. My car was pretty old, but they would bring him back to life. The prices are reasonable too. Good value. Joey and Oliver are amazing! They are the two that has helped me throughout the last few years. They changed my timing belt, water pump, oil changes, etc. I trust them with my all my cars! Super friendly too. Easy to work with. read more

They used tie wraps on the coolant lines , and charged me $450 , this an up date to my previous reviews read more

ARCO - Gas Stations Near Me - South San Francisco, California

I enjoy coming to this Arco. There are plenty of stations and I've never had an issue getting a slot. The prices are competitive with the station across the street. They even have a boba shop inside! I know, when most people hear of gas station boba, it's a turn off but Pit Stop Boba is amazing and definitely needs to be checked out. In addition, I find the service here to be great. Whenever I need air, even though the station says that you need to pay $1 in quarters, the cashier always just turns it on for me for as long as I need. The last time I came by, the handle was stuck so the guys at the onsite mechanic shop ended up helping me on their own time. They filled up all of my tires and even checked one of my tires to ensure there were no nails in it. They went above and beyond for a nonpaying customer which speaks volumes. Would highly recommend coming here for your next service. read more

Friendly and excellent service, the time frame the work was completed in was so much faster than expected.

10/10 service!! I've been taking my Audi to Oliver for about a year now. He and the staff are extremely knowledgeable, fair, friendly, quick and accommodating. I'd highly recommend brining your vehicle(s) to them! read more

huge shoutout to Joey from arco, took my new to me S2000 here last weekend and had all the fluids changed and valve lash serviced. joey kept me updated throughout the process and showed me any potential areas to keep and eye on. his knowledge on the platform gave me confidence to leave the car in his care. you cant fake the passion of a car enthuiast and im very appreciative to find a mechanic who takes pride in their work. ill be back when the S needs some more love, thanks again! read more

I've taken my car to Westborough Arco for a few different jobs. Most recently, I needed a new 12v battery. I brought it in at 8am this morning, and even though he didn't have the battery in stock, I was done and out the door by 8:45am read more

Been going to see Oliver and Joey for about 15 years. They have worked on 5 of my cars and I have never had any problems or complaints. He always tells me what I need to do and I trust him 100%. Can't believe folks go to dealerships still when there's great honest mechanics who won't break your wallet with all kinds of unnecessary added services. read more

Went there for oil change. Took care of my car and was in and out within 20mins. Quick service and very affordable price. Would come again when I need maintenance on my car. read more

As a female who can easily get taken advantage because "we may not know" much about vehicles and so it can hard to find a mechanic you can trust; I can definitely say Oliver and his team is someone who I can see myself continue getting my auto service from. Oliver is a great mechanic for your auto care/repair needs. What I most appreciate is his honesty and fair prices. Oliver is friendly, kind and professional and I received excellent service (on both occasions). I came in looking to have my thermostat replaced (engine light came on and according to the reading it was my thermostat). I came in early on a Tuesday AM to get my car serviced in November. I was able to pick up my car same day. They take any form of payment but I paid in cash. After the original service, I did noticed a faint smell but figured my car just needs to do its thing and burn off the remaining old residual. A few months later, I took notice the smell has not faded and this time my car was now leaking fluid. Called back to if they can look into it, and it turns out there was a crack in the thermostat housing. This was my 2nd time coming in and this time around I had my little one with me. Again they were able to assist me the same day on a Tuesday AM. I was nervous not knowing if I had to repay out-of-pocket again for the parts and labor but they do warrant their services. Upon inspection, I feel confident on their work. New thermostat was installed and as complimentary courtesy they topped off my wiper fluid because they noticed my wiper fluid light was on. Would recommend to family and friends if they don't have a trusted mechanic to go to. read more

See all

Auto repair; I've come here on two different occasions for repairs and felt good enough about the experience to come on to Yelp for a review. There are not many independent services places these days, let alone gas stations. Oliver and his guys are great. I've had two break jobs done here they are always honest, always fair, always on time. That's all you can ask for you. Support local. read more

Oliver and has team do fantastic work! It is easy to book an appointment with them, I call. They have worked on several of my cars, services requested were oil change, brakes, rotors, brake sensors, air conditioning recharge and condenser motor for air conditioning. These guys took care of my cars and completed the work perfectly! Quality work for a great price. Oliver and his team are knowledgeable professional and highly skilled. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who needs work done! read more

This review is for Oliver. Been working with Oliver for many years now with my Honda and now my lexus. Oliver is honest and straight to the point. Although I mostly get oil changes, I don't ever hesitate to inquire about other car work that needs to be done as I know I will get honest feedback. read more

Always very nice, prompt, and honest. I've only been here for tire services a couple times, but will def come here if I have car trouble. (Crossing my fingers I don't though.) Also you can get boba or walk to McDonald's while you wait! read more

Oliver, Joey, & co. are literally the best. I take all my cars here for any and every repair. I am very particular about my cars (OCD, probably, LOL), and these guys treat my cars with so much respect! Recently, I bought a new Jaguar F-Type. Just my luck, had the car for only three weeks, came home one day and found a nail in the shoulder of the tire. They plugged the hole for no charge so I could keep driving the car for a few days until the special-order tire came in. No dirt, no fingerprints on my car, no joy-riding! They are true and honest professionals. So, why the update? Well, a freak thing happened. I picked up my car after-hours (8:30 p.m.), thinking duh, just a tire change, no problem. When I went on the freeway, the car wigged out--all the systems were failing, all the lights were going off, like the car was POSSESSED or something. Like was God punishing me for splurging on a Jaguar??? Maybe I should have donated that money to some charitable cause? It was like Halloween except it's not going to be Halloween for two more weeks? WTF?! Magically, I made it back to Westborough (somehow, OMG) went to the gas station attendant (it was 8:45 p.m. on a Saturday at this time), freaking out because my "fast car" couldn't go over 20 MPH. She called Oliver, who immediately drove over from his house and got to me in under 15 minutes. Something tripped up the computers (we never figured out why), but he examined the car and reset the system. I felt so bad and was just rearing to go home so you know, this hardworking man could enjoy his Saturday night, but Oliver insisted that I drive around the 'hood for ten minutes (and waited for me) to make sure my baby was 100% because he was worried about me driving home at night. Now, PLEASE DON'T CALL OLIVER AFTER THE SHOP CLOSES... this was an emergency because some demon entered my car and tried to ruin my (and Oliver's? Lol) weekend. The silver lining? This act of kindness has convinced me that there are still good people in the world, and as long as Westborough is open, I will continue to take my cars here. Oliver did not charge me a dime even though I offered, and he literally said he felt he could sleep at night knowing I got home safely. *It was after 10 p.m. at this point!* Have you ever met an auto shop owner who cares this much about his customers? Even the gas station attendant, Lina, was helpful and compassionate and checked in on me a couple of times to make sure all was OK. Don't go anywhere else. Westborough should be your #1 stop. They are like family. Thank you so much! read more

My daughter had an oil change done at a tire store, they then quoted me for front and rear brakes over $900, indicating that it's critical to be done. She called me and I confirmed we did fronts 5 months ago, just come home. We took the car back to arco and they confirmed and showed us that they are new on the front and the rear have more than 30% still on them. they recommended changing them when they reach 20%. no need for any service, she will be doing oil changes here now too! read more

Joey and his crew are the only people I trust to work on my cars other than myself. The people here are true car enthusiasts and work on your car like it's their own. Having non car people work on your car is like having a Chef make you food when they won't eat it themselves. Since discovering this hole in the wall shop, I have been bringing all my cars here for its maintenances and upkeep, when I am lazy to do it myself. Joey and his crew is very responsive and his pricing is fair, it's hard to find good quality shops these days that you can trust. I would have never expected a gas station shop to be this good and its a rare find. Oh and the boba is fire too at pit stop boba inside the gas station. read more

Legendary on various forums like S2000 and others. Joey correctly diagnosed a screeching sound on my S2000 to a drive shaft bolt and ball bearing rather than some transmission issue a other shop misdiagnosed, even though I told the other shop this is a likely issue given forum research. Prices are fair but more than that, the diagnosis is accurate. I'd rather pay a premium for a good correct fix rather than a good price for a wrong fix. If you are a car enthusiast, take your ride here. read more

Amazing folks here! They helped me quickly repair my flat tire today, also found another leak for me and fixed that as well. Made my day so much easier, thank you again! read more

Oliver, Joey and team are always great. I bring my 2015 Acura RDX here for regular maintenance and they are always prompt and professional. I have done a major brake job with them in the past and I've also come in for smaller jobs like tire repairs and headlamp installation. Very honest and friendly people and they don't try to upsell you on anything you don't need. read more

I trust Westborough Arco to do a good job and have always had great, lasting repairs.

We love this car repair place. The owner is very nice and friendly. The price is very reasonable. read more

Second time I've been to this shop to get something removed from my tire. First time, I had a whole BOLT removed from my front tire. I forgot the name of the gentleman who helped me but I remember him being so kind and worked really fast! Second time, (different car) I had what I thought was a nail but instead ended up being a thick staple removed by Oliver. He had just opened the shop and I was already waiting outside. He was very nice and removed the staple but said it wasn't leaking air so he checked my other tire. Nothing. So he filled both front tires and the light warning went away. Thank you so much for all your help! So glad this shop is just down the street from me! :) read more

My Air Conditioner in my 2006 car went out on me last week! I was referred to Oliver and called him earlier this week about my issue. We scheduled an appointment for today and I couldn't be happier with the professionalism, customer service and repairs! Everything was awesome! I dropped off my car in the morning and in addition to checking into my AC issue, I decided to ask them to also rotate and balance my new tires that I bought 2 yrs ago. Better and earlier than expected, Oliver called me at 2:40pm to say that they were able to fix my AC issue and that my tire rotation and balance was completed and my car was ready for pickup! :0) I was really excited because this morning, they already had 8 - 10+ cars lined up for repairs and I was expecting my car to be ready closer to 4:30pm or later. Thank You Oliver and Crew! I'm really happy with the better than expected turn around, professional and friendly customer service and the repairs! Will definitely recommend you guys! Keep up the great work! Stay Safe and Healthy everyone! :0) read more

This place got me out of a jam countless times with flat tires and other issues. Very friendly and responsive.

Fast, quick reliable service - go here for oil changes. They charge half of what dealerships would charge for most of their services. Been going here for 2 years now! read more

Called on a Tuesday morning for a quote on front brakes. Quote was comparable to the other shops I called. Oliver said we could bring it in and they could get it done. Dropped off the car at 10:30am and it was done by 1:30. Should have checked out this shop before. We will return for future work. Fast and friendly service. read more

This auto shop is hidden in the back of Arco's gas station. It is in between McDonald's and right behind Arco. There are parking spots/cars parked on the left side and the auto shop is on the right side. I came here to have something installed on the back of my car. Without hesitation, the mechanic approached me & assisted me quickly. Thank you for servicing my car at a timely manner. read more

There was oil around the engine and smoke coming out of the hood. I went to his shop before and got a fair treatment. Went to him for the 2nd time. He mentioned that the oil cap was loose and didn't charge any unnecessary charges. Hard to find an honest auto technician these days. Will recommend Oliver service to others. read more

Oliver and his team of mechanics are super friendly and knowledgeable! Brought my car in to have my cooling system checked out, and found out it was time to replace my 13 year old radiator, and hoses. Oliver was very transparent about the costs of parts and labor. His price was fair, and had my car repaired and running in one day! I also had a oil change done which he only charged me half his normal price! Oliver has been in business for 37 years, and I believe so because he is honest, doesn't up-charge, and stands by his work! If you're looking for an honest and reliable garage, look Oliver and his team up at the Arco Gas Station located off Westborough Blvd, SSF. read more

2nd visit with Joey, the Honda guru, specifically s2000 model. If you have a s2000 , come see him. Joey took care of a electronic steering issue with ease. Joey was able to source a retired Honda part same day and within budget. Very easy to get in touch with , easy going , competent master mechanic. read more

Oliver and his team will take care of you. Reasonable pricing and discourages from any unnecessary work. He's become my neighborhood go-to mechanic and remembers my name after the 1st visit! They replaced my front brakes and rotors, and also replaced my driver side door lock actuator. Everything done punctually and correctly. Initially I thought I'd have to take the door lock issue to the dealer but Oliver assured me they were more than capable of handling it. They are very transparent. I also come here occasionally to pick up boba and snacks (Pitstop), so it's nice to catch up with Oliver at the same time when I have the chance. read more

Joey and Oliver were great.i come here often for my cars but today I came in with some body paint damage and a few dents. They told me they don't do body work, but helped me any way. They helped me clean off the paint so the dents don't look bad at all. I can hardly notice them.. thanks for your help!! read more

Troublesome where the gas station is located. Getting into the place from West Bourgh then needing to go East bound West Bourgh or South Bound Gellert Blvd. The machine doesn't always work so need to walk all the way to the cashier to pay for gas, especially with cash. read more

Honest, Affordable and Experienced! Stopped by after finding a nail in my tire. Oliver greeted me immediately even though he was attending to other business. Gave me a quote ($20) upfront without me asking and got to work on my tire within minutes. Told him about another issue I had with a slow leak in the same tire that I've been dealing with for months and other repair shops could not figure out. Well he figured it out in about 60 seconds and repaired it also without any additional cost! I was in and out of there in less than 10 mins, otherwise I would've grabbed a boba and some freshly made popcorn chicken! read more
