    About 25ppl in line, 1 cashier, 3 registers, no one else to be found to help out.  (many behind me when I took this photo).

    Do NOT go inside store if you can avoid it!!! Hey ARCO, #1, train your staff. Nothing more frustrating than having a cashier staring at the register obviously lost as to what he/she needs to do and there is no one around to help them. #2, provide MORE staff. Photo taken today - 25 ppl in line (many behind me in line when I took the photo), 3 registers, 1 cashier who was new and VERY slow. 12noon when ARCO was busy with folks grabbing sandwiches, etc., never occured to you to have more than 1 person at the registers? #3, so not ask a customer to pay for your mistake. I used a debit card, and ARCO charges you an additional $0.35 to use it. Clerk made a mistake and wanted me to pay for 2 transactions (thus 2X the $0.35 fee). See #1 above.

    Hey Arco! How is this an acceptable car wash?

    Ummmm..... it's a nice sunny day today. Out for a nice drive. Then I thought, hey my car is dirty. I know, there's a Arco right down the road and it has a car wash. That's what everybody thought because I was about the 4th car online. But I made it through. Probably about 20 minutes later I stopped, got out of the car, noticed it wasn't clean. WTF! I could have done a better job with the bottle of window cleaner and an old pair of underwear. Don't waste your money and time with his car wash. There are far too many other places the do a much better job.

    Covered in soap. So pretty.

    I use this station when I want to pay cash for my gas but don't want to have to actually go inside and pay. Paying at the pump is my friend. But damn this place is OHHHH SOOOO DIRTY! No, I don't generally think "clean" when I'm thinking gas station but I also shouldn't think of getting checked out for bugs after pumping my gas either. EVERYTHING is dirty here. The ground is gross. The kiosk to pay for your gas is gross. The keys you have to press to pick your station or print a receipt are gross. The handle to pump your gas is gross. And when you're done you feel gross.

    I really like this station. It's really close to my work so I'm here pretty often. The lines can get long but the employees have a good system going to help quickly and efficiently. I hate that any AMPMs only accept debit which forces you to pay that extra .35 cents or so. I won't come here late at night when I'm off work after midnight, it's gets pretty sketchy and there's only one entrance/exit so it's not my late night choice for getting gas. The manager is always there and seems to always be making sure everything's stocked up. There's a guy who works there and his makeup and nails are always looking better than mine! Maybe don't come here during the lunch rush, but all in all its a good station that I'll keep coming back to.

    Best coffee ever!

    I recently became a Redbox user and found this place because I needed to return a few DVDs. I…read moredidn't actually come into the store until today and I was very impressed by the service. This is a decent place to get some lunch if you're looking for some burgers, hot dogs, or this thing they call a Tornado (it's kind of like a rolled taco...). Their condiments section is clean and they provide a variety of stuff to put on your burger or dog: chopped onions, relish, and jalapenos to name a few and they also have spicy brown mustard, yellow mustard and ketchup in the squeeze bottle form or the portable packets. I especially like this place since it isn't near a high school so you don't have any rowdy kids hangin around here during lunch time... Also, their fountain drink station serves both Pepsi and Coke products... The store seems very new... probably not more than a year old and it is very clean. They have restrooms and an ATM and it has a very spacious layout. The employees here are very nice. They greeted me and asked genuinely how I was doing when I went up to the counter to pay for my lunch. I feel like that is very rare thing nowadays especially when visiting a convenience store. I left with a smile on my face because this was definitely one of the best experiences I have ever had at a convenience store...

    I'm not sure what's going on with the gas at this station, but something definitely seems off. I…read morefilled up here and drove a route I take all the time -- normally it only uses about 1/4 tank, but this time I burned through almost 3/4 by the time I arrived. A month or so ago the station was completely roped off for a few days, and ever since then I've been having this issue. Maybe there's another explanation, but I've never had my gas drop that fast before. Just wanted to warn others to be cautious before filling up here.

    This is my regular gas station and I come here at least once a week since they opened. It's not the…read moreclosest gas station to my home but with the car wash and the numerous amount of vacuums, it keeps me coming back for more. I rarely check in because its listed as San Diego Gas and Carwash instead of what it is...a Shell! I just can never find it when I try to check in so it's a pain in the butt. While I am a fan of this gas station, I'm noticing as it ages, the vacuums are breaking at an alarming rate. They either don't have any suction or stations are missing hoses completely. I often find myself going from station to station to find one that works. The car wash also sometimes smells really bad. I have to wonder if they reuse the water and if it's safe - the smell is unbearable sometimes when you go through. You can't escape it. I noticed they recently placed people at the end of the car wash to dry off the cars better....I LOVE this and willing to tip/pay extra for that extra level of service. While I'm a fan...I really hope they start fixing these things to keep me from going to a location closer to the house. If I'm just getting gas and getting a car wash, I can get that at Bressi but I regularly have to vacuum after a week of activities with the kiddo and 8/10, i'm able to do so here.

    Oof how much a car wash can change. Cancelled my monthly service because this place has gone…read moredownhill FAST! 1. Something is ALWAYS broken. The monitor to scan code or pay from your car is just broken forever. The gate they have to manually lift. There are some sponges in the wash that aren't rotating. Today all the vacuums were down. 2. Smells like a sewer. It's disgusting. 3. Service is ALL over the place but usually ranges from bored, disinterested, or rude. Go somewhere else. It's not worth the hassle
