Arco Smog Pros

I have not come here for a «smog test» (though one of my vehicles now needs one)… nope, I have only stopped here to buy gas.
Why? The prices are slightly lower then any other station I see on my way to /​from work!
I know some people «poo-​poo» Arco gas, but hey, when gas is around the $ 4/​gallon mark (at the moment) you save when and where you can, right? Right! Plus I’ve never had any problems with it. Granted I won’t use in my Hi-​Perf car that needs premium, but for my daily driver, no problem!
You will usually have wait for an available pump in the afternoons, but early mornings, no wait.
The ONE thing that REALLY annoys me is they play this FRIKKIN «gas station radio» (as it calls itself) over the PA speakers so you have no choice but to listen to it while pumping your gas. Commercials, talking, commercials, Local traffic & weather (useful?) still more talking and MORE commercials! I don’t want to hear that crap when I’m pumping gas! ARRGG!!!

It didnt take long fr him to do the smog test. If you go here ask for Bashar. He is very professional and nice. Initially I was dealing with a guy name george and he was RUDE. He was basically an ASS for no reason. I wouldnt normally say this but when I say terrible customer service I mean God awful. When the transaction was done, Bashar tried to make a joke out of it and told him to smile and he gave him a crazy look at said FOR WHAT? I’m sure he is nicer to other people. I had a coupon and he said if I failed he wouldnt do it again. I asked why because the coupon clearly says pass or free retest. He said because I don’t do free work. I said its not free work if thats what the coupon says. He basically got mad that I was asking normal questions. I told him that there is nothing wrong with me asking questions especially when he is telling me something different. So he told Bashar that I didnt want to get it because I was asking questions. Bashar ended up doing a really nice job. He was really really really nice. It made up for the other guy. If it wasnt for Bashar I would have gone elsewhere. Instead of givine me an attitude, he explained everything with no problem. Easily explained instead of the unnecessary attitude.

Absoulutely GREAT service! I called the day b4 & spoke w/​Manny I asked him about the coupon & he explained that is for newer cars. & bcuz I had a 2004 4×4 it would be $ 10 more. Not a problem bcuz he gave me the heads up! I went on a friday 3÷30÷2012 there was NO wait I got my smog ck & was out in less than an hr. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs to get a smog check!

didn’t honor is specific coupon. it went from 29.95 including cert, ect, for ca smog (very specific) to «nah, your car is too old… its gunna be $ 80.
really? $ 50 more because its a 1994 chevy? NO. go read his reviews on
…he’s a con artist.
