Watch out! This place scams you. The cashier was a middle aged old man. I brought 2 cars to be filled. Pump #2 was okay (the one I was pumping). Pump #7 (the one my wife was at) was a different story. He overcharged her by $2.73. She pressed regular at $4.699, but you can clearly see from the total and gallons dispensed, the charge calculated to $5.199/gal. I went to this place after finding the cheapest price in my neighborhood in the ARCO app. This is very unfortunate since I've frequented this location in the past. Lost a long time customer for less than $3. Dear owner, I hope it was worth it. read more

Arco - Overcharged at premium price when pumped with regular. - Gas Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

On Monday October 6, 2025 I went to ARCO at 3900 Sepulveda in Torrance, CA. It was about 4:30PM. I went inside to pay for a tank of gas and tried to pay with contactless payment with my card. It didn't work on the terminal inside this station. The cashier tried to grab my card and take it from me. I wouldn't let him grab it. He yelled in my face, "No gas for you!" And called the next customer in line. All of the customers witnessed this outburst and were shocked. I needed gas so I went to the back of the line to try paying again. I didn't want to make everyone wait. When I was at the front of the line again, the cashier scowled at me and went to hide in the back room. I asked him, "so you are not going to sell me gas?" And he shouted, "NO!" What an immature man. He was very short, with curly dark hair and brown eyes. He obviously has never heard of customer service. He was so unprofessional. I would advise women boycott this business because they employ sexist jerks here. I will give other gas stations my business as there are plenty to choose from in this area. read more

Had 2 separate incidents of extremely rude and aggressive behavior by the employees of this gas station. The last incident happened on April 6th, 2026 when the cashier started yelling at me. When I asked him "why was he yelling at me", he became even more aggressive. The incident was shocking and very disturbing. I have read other reviews and it seems it is not the first time he's done this to his customers, especially to his female customers. read more

Good prices but the guy that works there and runs the counters is one of the biggest assholes I ever dealt with in customer service.

Terrible service, they steal money and act like they dont know what happened. They overcharge the actual amount you pay

I stopped by the Arco on Sepulveda Blvd around 1:30 PM on December 2, 2025, to get gas. The pump wasn't working, so I went inside to tell the cashier. He wasn't at the counter at first, and when I told him about the issue,He yelled at me and told me to get out, which completely shocked me. It was a really unpleasant experience. I don't recommend this place at all, especially because of the cashier I interacted with. The customer service was extremely poor. read more

The gas station pump isn't working properly, and when I spoke to the attendant, he insulted me

I took the car back to fix the check engine light that they charged $972 to fix and this time they kept it for an hour. They said it was a different problem. So I left. Now the car is not drivable. read more

Arco - This arco stripped out my heads replacing the spark plugs. Now the car is junk and will cost at least 3500 to fix. - Gas Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

I had to get several repairs to my car. Luchi runs a very nice garage. Fair prices, and they are trustworthy. I know cars and can smell a scam a mile away. Not here. You can trust these guys. They run an honest business. read more

Something's not right at this gas station! I've been coming to this gas station for over 10 years and all the sudden when I put in the same gallons of gas in a car that I've had for over 10 years it doesn't register the same. It shows that it's over an eighth of a tank short of being full. This only happens at this Arco. Also, it won't allow you to register your marathon rewards at the pump. And when you go inside, they're extremely rude. They seem to have an attitude about wanting to use your loyalty rewards. Somethings not right here. This place needs to be investigated! I did a test with two other Arco stations in the same amount of gallon of gas over the last three months because this just something didn't seem right. And I'm convinced there's something going on at this station! read more

TOTAL SCAMMERS!!!! CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!!! ZERO STARS!!! I was charged $$30 at pump 9 for 7 plus gallons but got zero gas! I noticed as I got a few blocks away that my tank was still empty. Thank goodness I had gotten a paper receipt inside because no receipt printed at the pump. I had to go back and talk to the manager. He badgering me telling me it wasn't his problem and that "somebody filled up" after me -- which is totally impossible and illogical. CUSTOMERS BEWARE! read more

Beware that this gas station starts charging for gas before it even begins to flow in your tank. The calibration is way off. Charged me 5.00 extra before I could feel the flow into the tank. It's awful business practices. I will not be coming back here and you shouldn't either. read more

Under new, EXTREMELY RUDE and PETTY, Management! I have been coming to this location at least once a week for the past 30+ years! I sometimes deliver food so sometimes several times a week. I like the low cash price and frequently buy drinks and snacks here while delivering. I'm thankful they are now open 24 hours. It fits my schedule. I have never had a problem until tonight with a cashier I don't thing I've ever seen here before. At some point, when I became a responsible adult, I bought a mini, plastic trash can (at Daiso, so you know it's small) that fits behind my front passenger seat. I empty it every time I fill up with gas so my car doesn't get too cluttered. Tonight, as the pump is filling my car, I empty my tiny trash can. It's so small, in fact, that it fits inside the opening in the trash can lid, and since my trash is on top, I push the trash down so others have more room. While patting myself on the back in my mind for being so courteous to others, the attendant, who's been vaping outside, comes around the pump aggressively and yells at me, "That is not for your trash!!!" Me: "It's a trash can. Whose trash is it for?" Rude cashier: "Customers that buy things from our store!!!!!" Me: "I bought gas & I frequently buy things from your store. Are you saying I can't buy drinks or snacks, enjoy them in my car & then throw them away next time I fill up? I have to finish them while filling up to be able to use your trash can?" To be fair, there were other items than what I had previously purchased there, but very little. It wasn't like I brought trash from home! This REALLY rubbed me the wrong way as much money as I have spent here over the years! I get it, there is no such thing as full service anymore, but it's still a service station. How petty can you be??? BTW, they now sell tons of smoking/vaping accessories. Fine by me, but there was an obviously stoned-to-the bone woman in front of me in line looking for a very specific brand and type of rolling papers. I had my cash in hand behind her. He could have rung me up while she was looking at EVERY SINGLE ONE, as slow as only a very stoned person could do, but nope, he made me wait several minutes. ZERO FOR GUEST SERVICE!!! read more

One of the cheapest I've seen, great guy and customer service as well. The inside is clean and they sell vapes, snacks, and drinks, as well as alot of car accessories. read more

I've been coming here for over 3 years, and Luchi and his team are top-notch. Always gets me in and out , fare pricing, and great customer service. They guarantee their work, and whenever I pop up to get my gas and need air in my tires, they always help me out. I would recommend this place for car services. Aside from the smog pro. The gas prices are good, and store attendants are friendly, plus it's in a good neighborhood! Oh, I almost forgot that the gas station is now open 24 hours read more

The gas attendant at this location is by far the rudest man to walk the planet earth. I frequented this location approximately 7 months ago because the gas price was the lowest in the area at the time. He was belligerent, had a horrible attitude and spoke to me as if I were a lowly dog simply because I wanted to use my change from my gas purchase to buy a lottery ticket. I vowed then to NEVER return because I refuse to patronize a business who doesn't appreciate their customers. My money will never support anyone who can't be respectful of the same people who keep them in business. If it weren't for me and other customers spending their monies at this establishment, then they will not be able to remain operable and their livelihood will suffer as a result. Unfortunately, on this evening, I was with my elderly mother who needed gas in her vehicle. She insisted on stopping at this location against my many protests due to the reasonable price of gas. It was nighttime, so I went to the side window where the attendant was sitting at the desk and requested to fill up the tank using cash. He ignored me; so I assumed he didn't hear me clearly and I opened the unlocked door. He yelled at me at the top of his lungs and said the pumps are opened but the facility was closed until 10 pm. Although the sign on the door said we are opened and the door was unlocked, I still exited the area and went to the side window because I assumed he forgot to lock the doors. I once more requested to purchase my gas with cash and he continued to rudely yell that the location was closed until 10 pm but the pumps were opened. His statement did not make any sense to me because if the pumps are opened, your sign says opened and you are sitting inside without a sign erected saying you are on a break, then how are you not able to accept cash payments, if the pumps are opened? After yelling at me for approximately 3 minutes while I was trying to come to an understanding of what his statement meant, he rudely stated you can pay for your gas at the pump using a card but cash won't be accepted until 10:00 pm. All that time of him yelling and being rude while I obviously was not understanding him, could have been resolved the first second that I walked up to the side window by simply saying, at this time cash is not allowed until 10pm, but feel free to pay using a debit/credit card....simple as apple pie! Due to his horrible attitude, I left without gas and you can rest assured I will NEVER EVER EVER come back to this gas station again! read more

This is the best gas station around!! they always have the cheapest prices and are open 24/7 now. Mo has great service and is very friendly. they have a great selection of vapes and snacks 10/10 read more

There is an Indian employee who always try to fight. There were windows and I could not hear, So I thought he cannot hear and used my hand to show number of my station. He got super mad and start arguing I am not deaf why you use your hand etc..... Today is just want to get $5 bill for my change and he start arguing.... Whenever I go this place and he is at casher, I get so unhappy and mu day is ruined. read more

The advertise PRICE is CASH ONLY. As this gas syatiom dont take credit card and there is $0.35 fee for debit card.

I frequent this Arco as it has one of the lowest prices the area. They are usually lower or a within a few cents of the nearby Costco. This spot is always busy - but I tend to avoid this place around lunchtime as that time seems to be the busiest. The lines flow into the street and it gets too chaotic. I prefer to go early in the morning where I'm able to drive straight up to a pump without waiting. Cashiers inside are all friendly and helpful. Happy to say I haven't had any issues here. read more

RIP OFF!!! They can keep their complimentary water. I wanted Regular Unleaded paid 95.00 cash push the unleaded button and it wasn't lighting up, went in to ask the cashier if there was unleaded because it was only showing premium unleaded , he said yeah yeah. Went back tried to push the reg unleaded again and it still was not working. Cashier came out and jammed the handle in and said there, it wasn't in. Then I asked him if it was reg unleaded he again said yes I showed him the only light on was premium and he just said no no it works. So I pumped thinking the light was just not working. So now let's do the math, $95.00/5.39(cash price per gallon)=should be 17.6252319109462 gallons I got 16.670 how is that right. It's wrong, they can keep the money. It's the way I was spoken to and treated that's the problem. The attitude and flat out disregard for my questions was unacceptable, I wanted to be clear and he could care less. Cashier was Zubair. read more

I knew the problem with my car before I took it to this place, just don't have the time nor tools to fix it myself. The Head Manager (Luchi) was accurate at giving me a diagnosis and fast at repairing it. Even suggested a more affordable solution, Why?!. Honest mechanics and Professional service in a timely manner (plus the low cost on gasoline) Just give them your money. read more

Wow! Amazing prices this week! it was the cheapest I had seen in a long time! Around $3.39 while other stations have been over $4! Not too long of a wait either! I always use apps to find the cheapest prices, and I'll likely return here! read more

They have always been real helpful. There is always an attendant in the office. And the people in the mechanic side have been great. They have really cared to help me and not look for extra places to charge me. Even when I don't ask for help they might have seen me struggling with something and come out to help. They do have competitive prices w Costco. In the little store they have a gas additive that I use that goes into your empty tank before the gas goes in, you then pour in your gas. read more

Arco - Gas Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

I live nearby, and come here all the time for gas; it's the most affordable in the area! (South Torrance AND Los Angeles and... anywhere I've seen in SoCal actually.) It does get busy in the day time, but I never had to wait in the evenings. Oh and ladies, guys (or men) will cut you off if you're waiting your turn for gas so don't expect chivalry or manners - but this isn't the business' issue and entirely something else. The cashiers have always been friendly and effective in their work. Walk in with a bright smile yourself - and you'll receive one in return! read more

I get gas here often because it has one of the lower prices in town. I usually try to use cash since I don't like the fee they charge to use my debit card. I feel that it is difficult to get in & out of the gas station when it is busy here! read more

Cheapest gas that i've seen in this area without being forced to buy a car wash or pay with cash only! Way to go Arco! read more

Cheapest gas around except for the other arco a little bit south on Crenshaw. Probably the same price. New gas pumps and nice workers. Only thing I don't like about arco is their payment methods. Many of you probs already know but they don't take credit and they charge for debit $.45 I think it is. I like that they don't have much of a snack area so I'm not tempted to buy anything, but they also have a pack of gum if you need one or not. Plus thrifty ice cream is right across the street!! #winning read more

This gas station is busy as they have some of the cheapest gas prices in Torrance. An Arco on Crenshaw and Costco are a few cents less. Self serve yet the cashier always has a smile and is helpful. When I am in the mood for bargains, I go here then hit up the WalMart across the street. This Arco is far cheaper than ANY gas station in West LA. read more

This is probably the best guest service I've had in a gas station. Most gas stations have employees who wish they didn't work there and always with a bad attitude. But this gas station had an employee name Maria, and she was very kind and talkative with my mom. They could've talked for hours. Overall her service was great. read more

Just a note: this place doesn't accept any credit cards...they will do debit cards but charge you 35 cents for the transaction. But if you don't care or pay with cash. this place is the cheapest place to go for gas in the surrounding area by at least 12 cents. So go for it. read more

Our corner gas station is so much more that that! Always friendly, always clean, and great gas prices. The mechanics are WONDERFUL, HONEST, AND FAIR PRICING. They will also let you know if it's not within the scope of their work, and then, refer you to someone they know when possible. Lucci and Fred... thank you! read more

Do not go to this gas station. As the other guy stated they are rude and racist. My mom had a problem with her debit card as the bank put her funds in savings instead of checking and she couldn't pay with her card but had to withdraw from atm. He then proceeded to tell my mom loud and obnoxiously so that everyone in line could hear that my mom had insufficient funds. Wtf she was humiliated then accused her of talking about him to other people when she was finally paying and pumping her gas. This is bullshit. This Indian guy needs to go back to India. He was disrespectful and rude. They need to train their employees on good work ethics unacceptable. And management didn't do anything about it. I complained to corporate and see what happens then until then I will spread the word to all my friends not to get gas from that arco. If this were your mother how would you feel. ?? read more

All I need to say, is that this place consistently has the lowest gas prices I have seen in SoCal. I used to think that the gas station with the lowest gas price was the Arco in Westminster/GG on the intersection of Brookhurst and Trask, so it made me so happy that our local Arco beats that station's price. They recently reopened... think they did some remodeling, and since then the price has been rockin!! Hope the prices don't go up in the future. Love it love it love it! read more

I am 24 years old, I suppose the cashier is such a racist guy, I wanted to buy a pack of cigarette, the man did not accept my passports, foreign ID or Californian drive license. I am since 1 year in America and that's the first time That i met a unkindness responsible. read more

The cheapest gas out here. I swear. Gets crowded around the after-work hours, but just wait a bit and a pump will open up. It's worth the wait!! read more

Arco, the main staple for my mother's Honda Odyssey has been the main consumption of gasoline for the vehicle. Stricken to hard economic times, the station is expensive compared to the times of '95 when it was less than one dollar a gallon. But due to Obama's fantastic 4 year term our entire country is going to the toilet! AHH, nice gas pumps though. read more

These guys always seem to have the best prices for gasoline, 5 to 10 cents cheaper per gallon than other stations within 3 miles.

I had broken bushings and they replaced my lower control arm on the passenger side for cheap. Not only that but they were so kind and the older gentlemen the that runs the repair shop is willing to help no matter what. I drove in and because they were unsure of the issue at first they worked diligently to find the issue. South Bay BMW missed it completely. Thank you for your help guys! You rock. read more

Exelent customer service by Luchi. I got my car fixed by his crew, they were very helpful and honest. Will come back again for sure.
