DECEPTIVE gas prices, car wash price not cash price
Michael U.

Business manager completely out of touch with their customers. Instead of working with them, they are in denial. They can't understand how they are scamming their customers making the word wash look like the word cash, as any other gas station posts cash. They want their already too high gas prices to deceptively look lower than they really are. Again, the business claims to be sorry then claims their customer is incorrect. Look at other reviews how they are in denial instead of working with their customers. They wish to scam you. Their supposed car was price scam that looks like a cash discount is so bad, they will sell you a car wash and then have a broken out of car wash. Recently it damaged a vehicle and also attempted to deny the damage. They are now in a double scam and should be taken out of service. Their customer service supposedly named Nichole is rude and condescending. Will say sorry you feel a way, then condem the customer. Will offer to help then instead of helping, will not help and do the opposite. Will say have a nice day, then tell you that you are wrong. Deception and scamming you as a customer is their true colors.

If you think you could use this on July 31, think again.

You guys need a mirror so we can line up our own wheels since your workers clearly don't care at all about people's rims getting damaged.

I really like that there is a car wash with this station. It can get busy at times due to its popular location.

What I found out is that it is no longer Fox Hollow coffee here but (IIRC) Paulo.

Watch out! This place scams you. The cashier was a middle aged old man. I brought 2 cars to be…read morefilled. 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.

On Monday October 6, 2025 I went to ARCO at 3900 Sepulveda in Torrance, CA. It was about 4:30PM…read more 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.

Arco - This arco stripped out my heads replacing the spark plugs. Now the car is junk and will cost at least 3500 to fix.
