Arco A M P M Slauson & La Brea

I was running an errand in Windsor Hills, and the call of nature came. To answer this call, I stopped by this Arco. Luck had it that they did have a restroom, and it was not busy. The restroom was clean, which is great because this is a pretty busy gas station.
I looked for something to buy, and found my favorite bottled iced tea. This is one of very few teas you’ll find in mainstream convenience stores that has neither sugar nor aspartame.
Arco takes cash or debit (with a fee) only. When I went to pay for the tea, the manager forewent about a quarter so I wouldn’t have to break another bill. He also had Jolly Ranchers he was giving out to customers. I usually don’t eat candy, but I’d break that rule for one Jolly Rancher given out of goodness. Good guy, the manager. I hope his day was awesome the rest of that day.
Five stars for cleanliness and customer service.

Gas pieces are great but need to keep homeless from begging (with attitude) for money. Every time I visit I have no problems with the service attendant try to be courtesy

This station is priced, along with United Oil (the cool looking station, across the street) as the lowest in the area. However, this is only if you are paying by cash or debit card. You cannot pay with a credit card at the pump. Went inside to pay yesterday, was told it was a $ 1.00 credit card fee. Fine, screw it, I’ll pay just so I can be done and never come back. Go to my car and am pestered by one of the salesmen they have hawking overpriced car cleaner. Try to pump my gas and the pump doesn’t pump. I go back inside and the cashier says their new system has an issue and they need to void my transaction and re-​ring it. Fine I say, I just want a receipt of the void. They can’t give it to me. Luckily I have fraud protection and check my card balance very often in case any fraud shows up.
Stick to United Oil, the station is new, clean, and the people there are friendly. the AMPM screams shady.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this gas station
Not only was the gas the cheapest on the corner of four gas stations, but it was clean and nice. This may not be the best area of Los Angeles, but its a great place to get gas, and maybe freshen up on some snacks.
The owner (who often works as a cashier) is such a nice dude. Friendly, always making cheesy jokes, and cordial as ever. I honestly feel like I’m getting gas from a mom-​and-​pop shop like back in the days. Thumbs up.

This is a poorer area, what many refer to as ghetto, but the gas prices are always great (which you don’t normally see in neighborhoods like this) but to prove they’re «as ghetto as it gets» they sell $ 1.99 bootleg DVD porn behind the counter, but in plain view…

With a gas station on ¾ of the corners of this intersection, Arco holds its own. Bring cash only, it is SUCH a hassle if you have a card. Definitely the cheapest gas station by far, (which probably explains its quality). Anyway, not bad.

AVOID THIS PLACE, UNLESS PAYING WITH CASH ONLY.
Please do NOT pay here with a card. Someone I know that is near and dear to my heart just found out that this place, like most ARCO gas stations, is known for credit card number and identity theft. Sad that a supposed «sheriff’s office» is located here yet so much credit theft is going on. I advise you to check your bank statements and review your charges. We’re all, nation-​wise, going through a tough time financially and your hard-​earned dollars are yours. Thieves don’t deserve your cash.
