Arco

I really wanted to like/​use this gad station, as it’s right in the neighborhood. Their prices, however, are always very high (compared to others in the area), the pay at the pump doesn’t work most of the time, and the customer service (when you go inside to pay) is terrible. Despite these things, I have been filling up my motorcycle here for 3 years, because the tank is so small (3 gallons), the convenience trumped the negatives… until two days ago, when the cashier wouldn’t let me put air in my tires w/​out paying $ 1.50. My experience has been that EVERY other station in the area will just press a button and let you use the air/​water, regardless of whether or not you purchase gas. This station will not! Really, a service station that will not let a customer put air in their tires for free, AND the cashier is nasty when telling you so? Well, they’ve lost one of their neighborhood customers.
BTW, as another reviewer noted, the photos are not correct. The modern looking station (with great prices) is on the corner of Olympic Blvd and Robertson. This station, on the other hand, is at Pico and Roxbury (across the street from the museum of tolerance).

I have been going to this gas station maybe once a month for over 10 years. For several years I had my oil change here until they got a new mechanic a couple years ago– I took it in for a routine oil exchange in my vehicle which had 33,000 miles. The next day it stopped working on the freeway– the engine blew. I had it towed to the dealership and they said there was no oil so warranty would not cover it. I went back and they denied working on the car and even when I showed them the statement on my credit card paying for the service they refused. That was almost 2 years ago. And $ 8k for a new engine. I stopped Gavin service there but continued to stop in for gas and the occasional air for tires. Because it is so convenient, although expensive. Today I couldn’t see well out of my windshield and I had my kids in the car so I decided with the sun going down to be safe is stop and wash the windshield. Well half way through the owner runs out and orders me to stop. He said I have to pay for gas before washing my windows– or I must leave his property. It was only half the windshield. So I left. My young kids still wondering why the old man was yelling at us. Bizarre. I’m not going back.

Horrible! Absolutely disgusted with these people. I stopped to get gas yesterday. It was after school when I had picked up my kids and I was out of gas. I usually try to avoid buying gas here because they are about $ 1.00 more per gallon than other gas Stations that are on my way home. I put in my credit card and it asked me for a $.35 fee. I cancelled it and went inside and I said to the guy I need to put gas in number 6 but I don’t want to pay a $.35 fee. The rude mad said «who told you to pay $.35» in a rude almost demeaning loud voice as if he was reprimanding me. I proceeded to put my card and I kindly said I understand your point but I did not know to push credit instead of debit. I proceeded to tell him that he did not have to be rude. He lashed out at me and went over to the credit card machine and cancelled my order. I was livid beyond comprehension. I said you really just did that and he said yes get out of here. So I turned and walked out with my jaw dropped in disbelief that in Beverly Hills some Jerk that obviously has too much money and no manners & does not know how to treat customers. This is beyond disgusting & actually he had the balls to yell at a young lady like myself with 2 kids in the car waiting. I will never go there ever again and I will make sure that all my friends never stop in there. I will be contacting the better business bureau and report this ugly son of a — – !!!

It’s a gas station. Not much to say. But I’m from Florida and in LA on vacation, so the small things amuse me. This was the coolest gas station I’ve ever seen. The bonus? Way cheaper gas than anywhere else I’ve seen.

This is the cheapest gas station in the area, so it’s always packed. On Sunday, November 8, 2014 at 2:15PM, I wanted to spend $ 25 to fill up my tank. When I handed the cashier $ 40, she told me she didn’t have change! Out of curiosity, I asked why not. She went off on me, saying she told me she had just opened up. When I noted that she hadn’t explained that, she gave me attitude, flicked her hands at me and shut off the microphone! So, yeah, the customer service that day SUCKED. Now, I’m reluctant to EVER go here again. There are plenty of other inexpensive options within a mile or two (i.e. Union 76 at Robertson & Airdrome, Valero at Robertson and National) if you prefer to be treated politely.

We have all seen it. Futuristic, really interesting and as silver as can be! So why write a review on Unilocal about the gas station? Quite simple! It is decent, takes credit cards without charging a fee and it has the least expensive fuel in my town!
My friend told me they did not charge a fee when paying by credit card. I personally know that most Arcos do! This one does not.
The cool thing is you get a good price here because they are always competing against the Shell station that is caddy corner.
I am not sure how this gas station does it, but they always seem to be just a penny or two less expensive then the Shell station.
Not only that, but you get to pump gas in one of the coolest, if not the coolest, gas station I have ever seen.

Just stop in to get a Soda.

I HATE spending money on car-​related things. I always feel pressured and a little bit manipulated because I look like someone who knows nothing about cars (because surprise! I know nothing about cars…). But a grinding sound told me that I needed new brakes in the worst way.
At 76, I got no run-​around at all. I pulled up, told them that I needed new front brakes, and they had them done by the afternoon (I work across the street so alternative transport wasn’t an issue). The estimate was $ 100 cheaper than the other place I checked out, and 100% less sketchy. When I picked up my car in the afternoon, the mechanic recommended an oil change and a change in transmission fluid, but he clearly explained that it’s preventive and that my car won’t burst into flames if I don’t do it today.
A good mechanic is hard to find, but I’d definitely bring my car back here. Everyone was friendly and it didn’t break the bank.

Oil change for $ 19.95, can’t beat that! They attendants are nice as can be. There’s sometimes a little wait but if your a bit flexible, you won’t be disappointed.
