Arcadia Mobil Service Center

Very honest and a great place to get car fixed great service and reliable. Recommend customers to come here. It’s great they are very responsible for customers vehicles

To be honest, I wasn’t scamed like others, because I just went there for gas. Even this small business made me learned how EXTREMELY poor personality the workers there have. No wonder how you will be treated if you use their other service!
At 7:20pm, after spending $ 50 for gas and making sure there’s only one car there (meaning I wasn’t blocking anyone.) Then I decided to brush my window and did some car brush if that’s all the fault I made.
Then an old lady came out at me, wearing the Mobil uniform, yelled at me saying it (their «precious» yet shabby brush) is just for cleaning the window, I tried to be nice and never argued a word, I answered her ok I got it, then tried to focus on my window.
If she thought I simply stayed there too long, she could have told me and I would leave. Instead, she stood staring at me cleaning my window, trying to find another fault from me but seemed failed, so she re-​stated her sentence in a MUCH RUDER way, word by word «If, I, see, you, clean, any, other, place, of, your, car, but, window. I, will, call, the, police.»
No to exaggerate, I hope someone could understand, I felt helpless at that time, felt nervous and anxious, recalled a sense of being bullied in my childhood cause the malice was so simple and straight. I don’t know if I should yell back and let police expel me from a «private zone», or just leave and cry. I really don’t deserve this just because I cleaned my car as a customer. I was really really helpless.
I used to say the word «mean» just when I was upset, but for this only one time I knew what is a real, exact, literally pure MEAN person, from a gas station called Arcadia Mobil.
So, with such personality, when you do other service, if they have a chance to choose to be nice and fair or mean and cheating, what will they do? If there is even one cent that they can choose to take from you by cheating or let you hold it, what do you think they will choose?
(Despite all complaining reviews, the very first review in the other page summarizes this well.)
Since Mobil hire such person, I highly doubt their hiring process, if this kind of people can be hired by Mobil, you will sure encounter other MEAN Mobil staff, or worse. After all, you’ll 100 present deal with mean staff in this exact station.
Arcadia Mobil makes me sick, that day and that experience make me sick. According to other reviews, this station insultingly spam some review writers to take down the review, hoping more people could be scamed. Stay away from me Arcadia Mobil! If you contact me I will call the police, just like how you treat your paid customer when you assume a customer doesn’t go to Unilocal.
If you Mobil really want to make things right than making up the fault you already made, fire the old lady who was there around 7pm OCT.24, or close this station, and consolidate your hiring process, and then hope to get some new customers that had no bad experience in Mobil, although I doubt whether the number of those customers keeps your company running.
(Among all the complaints, it’s interesting to see the three «plausible» 5-​star reviews were posted back-​to-​back within a week. They’re dying getting a customer to scam. Every single purchase, scamed or not, helps them live and plan to ruin another neighbor’s day, or worse.
Dear reader, please, please do this community a favor, by driving just a little farther to avoid using their service and gas, you’re saving your neighbors’ lives, and some reviews criticize their cheap poor quality gas as well.)

Wow Vic is sooo awesome. I will never take my cars anywhere else. After buying a lemon car and check engine light coming on. I was referred to Vic and it was the best thing that could happen to me. He took the time to explain to me what was going on so I understood exactly what happened. The staff is friendly and greeted me with smiles. I will tell everyone i know to go see him.

NEVER GOING BACK!!! I HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCES EVER!!! And please don’t call again and asked me to take down my review while I’m sleeping!!! I took it down is not because your «good» attitude, is because I am «nicer» than you!!!

HATE this place with a passion. Everytime I come here they always try to jip you & up sell you on everything possible. I come for an oil change & all of a sudden my wind shield wipers need to be replaced, I need an allingnment, my air filter needs to be changed, my car all of a sudden needs «special oil» that costs $ 90 UH NO, I don’t need any of that. My car takes REGULAR BASIC $ 20 oil change NOT $ 90 either their sexist & think they can up charge me just cause I’m a girl & have no knowledge on cars whatsoever or they’re just greedy (both) either way it’s annoying.
** came last time they changed my air filter without letting me know also and charged me for it.

I used to bring my car here a while back. The owner, Vic, is a very straight forward/​blunt type of guy — but I never had issues with him like some of the other reviewers. He was always super nice to me. At the time they did such good work on my car I suggested them to my husband (then boyfriend) and my mother. Both my husband and I have older cars and they were able to fix any problems just fine. But my mother has been put through the wringer. They have deceived her over and over, not fixing the problems with her car. Also it seems like her car ends up in even worse condition. What a waste of time and money! They haven’t recharged her to try to fix the problems, but they can’t seem to fix her car period. Why not be honest and tell her they are UNABLE to work on her car!!! She took her car to another mechanic and they recommended she take her car to so-​in-​so who is better equipped to handle the job. At least THAT mechanic was HONEST! Anyway, because of this I will NEVER take my car here again. Maybe they aren’t as honest as they used to be… who knows?! All I do know is that my elderly mother has been ripped off time and time again by these bozos! BEWARE!!! :(

Do NOT take your car here for smog check! They will fail you in the visual section done by the mechanic, and they only offer retest if you do the repairs with them which is very shady.
I took my car to another smog check test center for a 2^nd opinion, and I was told that since I had just serviced my car a couple days before, my car wasn’t ready to be tested and needed to be driven more. Arcadia Mobile Center failed to inform me of this and tested the car fully knowing that it wasn’t going to pass since the monitors were not ready. Then they had the audacity to tell me that I need $ 100 worth of repairs, and I would only get a «courtesy» retest if I did the repairs with them.
It was already unprofessional that they didn’t tell me that the car was not ready to be tested. I later got my car tested at another smog check center, and it passed with no problems. Talk about scams!!!

Bad service, lies, and unorganized management. The attitude of the owner was bad and impatient, not only once. Please keep yourself away from this car shop unless you don’t have a choice.

BAD GAS.
Felt like I had to write a review about this place. I’ve been coming here for awhile, and finally figured out that pretty consistently, if my car is running poorly it’s when i got gas here.
it doesn’t always happen, but it happens quite a bit. it could be because my car has a higher compression than most cars, but at least ¼ times my car will run funny at start and idle if i get gas here.
I’ve been coming here for about 8 months now, and there are absolutely no issues in terms of getting gas or my experience with anyone here, but simply that i’m absolutely convinced the gas they serve here is dirty or bad.
Won’t ever go back.

I highly recommend this location to my family and friends. I’ve always been happy with their service and their prices. I’ve taken my cars to this location since 2004 and they have always been kind, professional and have helped maintain my cars running at a high level. Definitely worth it!

I never been disappointed coming here they offer quality parts, great service and great prices. I am very surprise at some of the bad reviews, I highly recommended.

I’ve taken my car here for years. From oil change, brake change, to suspension work. Vick looks out for me every time. I’ve owned Mercedes, BMW, Audi, to Infiniti. Been never turned away cause of a problem. Great service and reasonable prices. Coffee is always ready, hot and fresh while I wait.

Terrible service! My husband got his car serviced here and the experience was awful.

My only advice, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE FOR ANYTHING. Not for repair, not for smog check. I live one block away, so out of convenience, I took my car here for oil change and they charged me higher than what they advertised. A couple of days later, I found out that the screw was loose and all the oil had leaked out.
Recently I took my vehicle for smog check. They failed me because they said my monitor was not ready. Eveything else passed.
When I was reluctantly paying at the register, I over heard other customers complaining that the shop did repairs that was not authorized and now they are forced to pay for them.
The owner Vic told me that I needed to drive the vehicle for many more miles before it will pass. I asked for a discount for re-​test and he was very rude and said «I am going to charge you double!».
They could have told me that the monitor was not ready BEFORE they did the test instead of charging me over $ 80 to fail me so they can make more money for re-​test.
I have found several other places that do Smog check for much cheaper with re-​test Free. I would recommend everyone to go to another place.

There is nothing to review. This cigar-​smoking guy is a total rip-​off. I would have given it no star if allowed.

They are fast and good quality of work.
However, they will fix something that you doesn’t need without asking you.
Like fix the brake and they throw away the rotor without asking you. I do not think I need a new rotor.
I ask them to diagnostic the over heat problem, they change another radiator without asking me. I do not think I need a new radiator.
I ask them to change the CV Boot and they fix the CV joint and shaft without asking me.
They have all kind of trick to jack up the price and fix something that you do not need.

Absolute Joke. False advertising and they DAMAGED MY CAR!!! I went in for an oil change supposedly they charge 15.95 try 25! For a Toyota corolla? they tried to blame Purrfect auto for the damage to my car! Purrfect is not great and I wasn’t happy otherwise I wouldn’t have tried this place but at least Purrfect doesn’t lie and rip you off!

Thisis a review for the gas stations.
Convenient location, price is semi-​competitive for the area. Stations are brightly lit in a safe neighborhood.

Says 15.95 outside, charge you more than 26 final price. Cost $ 20 to just rotate ur tire and $ 35 to fix the tire. I told them they charge higher price compare to purrfect. The guy told me:“o! Purrfect loves you too much. U should go there!” ye. This is exactly what I did! Can’t stand for this kind of bad attitude!

Two words: FALSE ADVERTISING
I went there two years ago for an oil change because it was clearly marked $ 11.99 in big letters on the windows. I pulled in, mentioned the special, and they acknowledged it. After it was done, they gave me a bill for $ 15.99 + fees and said that the sign was «old» and no longer applicable. No apologies, no shame, and from the other reviews, looks like nothing much has changed. Don’t go there!
