ARCO

Kicked out of the store after a shooting in the adjacent parking lot. Glad arco is looking out for my safety. Don’t come here if you value your life.

Shots fired outside the ampm at 1:30 am on a Saturday. AMPM employee tells people in the store to go outside because she is not liable for their safety.
Cannot think of any worse customer service than literally not caring if your customers get shot.

Entire business model seems to revolve around not taking credit cards so they can rip you off for a .35 debit card fee.

Man this is my go to Arco when I come to downtown Sacramento on an empty tank! It’s bigger than many Arcos I. sac and there is always a pump available no long lines to wait when I come here!

Say what…$ 2.29 a gallon? Yes please! I have to pass Chevron and Shell on my way here and their prices look crazy compared to Arco. May that’s why this station is usually pretty busy but fortunately they have lots of pumps.

My nephew and nieces like this location to get their sugar fix such as slushies and fresh baked goods. That’s what Auntie’s are for, load them up with sugar and send them back with their parents. #SorryBoutit #SorrynotSorry

Wednesday evening came here to fuel up the tank and get some Tabacco. Old and rude Indian male was on the phone with attitude. Questions about my ID and how I look. Terrible services from this man.

I’ll give this 5 stars, because it’s a bit ironic that most of these reviews are stating that «it’s a gas station» but giving it 1 star… did the gas pumps not give out the gas you presumably pumped or something? Jeez. I gas here, and I recommend if you are in the area, you do too.

After working late night I went here to buy beer and was turned away because my friend (age 26) who is from abroad and did not and rarely does Cary his passport on him had no ID. I have worked with ABC and denying the purchase of beer because someone with you has no ID is over the top and not required. I bought over $ 600 a month in gas from this place until now.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I asked the cashier (Indian male that works Tuesday lunch shifts) if he could please press the button to buzz open the bathroom door. He immediately started yelling at me… yes, actually yelling (not just a raised voice) and said I was interrupting him while he was helping another customer. There was a line of five people waiting to buy something. Was I supposed to wait in a line to ask to get buzzed into the bathroom? I did not deserve to be yelled at. It was completely rude and disrespectful and after I used the restroom I told him this and he started yelling again. This is not how you treat paying customers (I had just spent $ 50 on gas!). Period. Will not ever come here again!

I hate going to this gas station because I can never quickly walk in and out without a problem. Inside the gas station you will find efficient employees and a really clean and well stocked store, it just doesn’t give the feeling of it being a very safe location. I love downtown and the stores and restaurants right around the corner from this gas station too. I just prefer to avoid this place whenever possible.

Lot of people walking around askin for change around the gas station. It’s right off the freeway and easy easy to get into. Their prices are the best in the area with the debit fee they charge. They have a lot of snacks inside including fruit of you’re looking for something quick too

Well, it’s a gas station… What more can be said? I’m taking a way two stars for the location. You can’t visit this Arco without someone walking up to you while you are either pumping gas or putting cash in the machine. I wish they took credit cards, but I can’t complain too much considering they are the cheapest station compared to the biggies, like Chevron and Shell.

It’s a gas station that stays pretty busy at all hours which is nice instead of rolling up to an empty lot in the middle of the night. You can get in and out pretty quickly plus if you need any road grub they have a pretty good stock. I think the only thing I’m not a huge fan of is that for some reason a large amount of homeless individuals are frequently camped out here panhandling and some of them are a bit disturbed so it can get a little uncomfortable. This is likely caused because usually the cheapest gas around and it stays busy at this particular stop so it is a trade off.

It’s ARCO, its cheap.
It’s AM/​PM… Too much good stuff!
Ok, but seriously… The first thing you need to know is that pump 7 is notoriously slow! Don’t use it unless you got some time to kill. If you are reading this because you are on pump 7 trying to kill some time, you should put your phone down, and get some people watching in. This is one of the best people watching stations in town!
Also, right when you walk in, there is a table of fruit… Apples, bananas, even oranges! Way to up the ante AM/​PM!
They used to have awesome music for you to enjoy while you fill up, but the last few times I’ve stopped in, I haven’t heard any music… Please bring back the funk ARCO!
Aight, gotta roll! See ya next time I need some apples or some petro yo!

It’s a gas station. The cheapest on the grid I believe. Other stations a few blocks away somehow get away with charging almost twenty cents more per gallon. The inside has the usual snacks and drinks and restrooms which can be useful, but outside usually doesn’t have window washing supplies or paper towels. Also, be sure to watch out for bums begging for spare change.

good spot for cheap gas. I go in and pay rather than use the machine as I do not trust these machines. skimmers could steal your info

Open 24 hours…
Very well lit.
Large food mart.
Convenient location downtown and lots of pumps available.
Cheaper than normal prices, but cash only for outside kiosks.
Came in at 1am, lots of homeless and kids on bikes standing around.
They need to start accepting credit cards nowadays — who really holds that much cash in their pockets?!

I love this gas station because it is clean, large and well lit. Best in dt for sure. Would have more stars, but the service, when I have to go in, hasn’t been so great.
I do get hit up for money 50% of the time I come here and the last time I came there was a man yelling obsenities and saying he was going to kill people as his gas was filling up. He was obviously mentally disturbed, but I did wait until he left the lot before I drove off.
The other day the service was so rude. The ATMs weren’t working outside so I filed inside to pay. The guy in front of me had the same problem. When he asked the lady why the card worked inside and not outside she provided a loud, rude, condesending response… basically implying that he was lucky his card even went through. I let him know that it wasn’t just his card, mine didn’t work either. Really? Even if it was his card, which it wasn’t, why would you do that? Not nice at all!
BF says they are out of ice every time he has been there… so that’s his complaint.

I’m sorry to see that this dinky little gas station only has one star. That’s bullshit. You know why? Here doth lie the gas station that put fuel in Tara W’s empty, hungry, abandoned car!
Shout out to Paulie J for being our night and shining armor after a fun-​filled night at Kupros. Oy vey, did we get a lecture from Paulie J. Meanwhile, my tank has been flashing that pesky gas light since Rancho Cordova, hope I get to work tomorrow. If not… this gas station is right around the corner, we’ve got the $ 12 — 1 gallon — gas can to prove it.

This is to put on notice all gas stations that don’t keep their air and water dispensing machines operable. Perhaps with the help of other similarly angered Unilocalers, we will force these profit-​mongers to abide with California State Law to make available air and water for motorists in need (and provided free to paying customers, by the way).
I filled up with gas, noticed my tire was nearly flat, and confirmed this using the pressure gauge I carry in my glovebox. I had been driving around on a tire showing less than 10 psi! So I quickly parked at the air and water machine and went inside to get the attendant to turn it on (the law requires that paying customers need not pay for air and water, so save your quarters). I was summarily informed by the attendant that the machine was out of order, even though nobody bothered to post a sign to this effect. I simply replied «Well then I will have to report you.»
And report them I did. I called the toll-​free number on the side of the machine (which appeared operable save for a vandalized water hose) which was 1−800−356−7057. A recorded message referred me to a website where I could submit my complaint on just such a matter. The web address is

I’ve had it with this particular gas station being inattentive to customer needs. They also never have paper towels in the squeegee islands. I hope this complaint I filed catches their attention because they need to get their shit together.
