Arco AM/PM Gas Station

Poor customer service. The cashier with huge eyes and blonde hair is rude! I paid for my gas in the cashier and I asked if the air is working and she responded with a high tone of voice saying that she just pushed the button. I was so pissed off and told her to ‘okay’ and ‘chill’ sarcastically and she responded with a thank you. I will not be coming back here.

Wow talk about horrible customer service. The «cashier» Cindy was the absolute rudest person I’ve ever dealt with at a gas station. And she didn’t even have to say anything. That was the issue. I only went in to pay bc their pump wasn’t working when I put my debit card in. So nicely I said oh it wasn’t working. This kid didn’t even have the decency to apologize or say oh at that. She said mmm. Like umm okay are you that incompetent of being nice. A smile wouldn’t hurt and she could talk bc she did talk to her associate but not to any of the customers. Ampm must be desperate or offer no training or interviews at that. It’s too bad arco has the cheapest gas bc this location and the workers make me want to boycott ampm as a whole. Rude rude rude.

Rarely get gas from here only when I’m in the area. It’s a clean gas station sometimes busy.

The big girl with the weird make up has terrible service… She will not even respond to you when you say hi or thank you. I honestly only go here for the cheap gas… Expect shitty service unless you get the nice asian lady who actually pretends to like her job

I’m very upset with this gas station right now. I was pumping gas and all of a sudden the gas started squirting all over my car. I ran out and had to pull the pump out and the gas squirt all over me! It starting pouring out of my gas tank all over my car and the floor. I ran into the arco and the lady didn’t even help. She said it’s not a big deal just wipe it up with towels. At this point I was so upset since it was a big deal… I had gas all over me and have to deal with the smell the whole drive to LA .on top of that the gas overflow charged my account! Yes they have the best priced gas, but customer service and safety is more important to me

Ok… this place still doesn’t take credit cards. However, as of late it has been one of the cheaper gas stations around the area. So it gets a couple stars added on.

Because this gas station is conveniently located, when I am at home I come here occasionally. However, I will not be coming here again after my experience last week.
I was getting gas and got in my car while I waited because there was a guy trying to sell some car cleaning product to the girl at the pump next to me and I didn’t want to deal with it. As I got in my car, a girl came over to me and assured me she «wasn’t with that guy.» She started talking to me about window repairs and noticed two small cracks in my windshield (both of which I was already aware of). Then without asking me, she started to put her little repair tool on my window as she explained that it would be free with my insurance and that she would be calling my insurance after because they would need to talk to me. She talked so much that I couldn’t get a word in and when I finally was able to ask her to not repair my car that second, it wasn’t until she was just about to repair it.
No one should have to deal with solicitors while just trying to get gas, especially those solicitors who don’t even ASK if they can touch your car before they do so. I don’t want to have to deal with that ever again and will not be going to this gas station again.
It also doesn’t help that they charge $.35 cents or whatever to use a credit or debit card.

I always have to hget gas here althou its out of my way a little bit. Gas is cheaper than other gas station around here.

I pass by this gas station when I take the back way to work and a lot of the time I purposely go out of my way because the prices at this location seem lower than most.
LOCATION: on the corner of Bonita Rd. and Otay Lakes Rd. near Von’s, Bank of America, McDonald’s
PROS:
low prices
convenience store w/​lots of snack and drinks
CONS:
unfriendly attendants
people trying to hock items to sell
busy location
few parking spots
CONCLUSION:
The attendants here aren’t very friendly and there always seems to be people trying to sell you something for your car. Most people getting gas just want to get there gas and go, so I don’t really appreciate that (I feel bad brushing them off). The convenience store is always well stocked with a variety of snack and drinks. They also carry hot food if you like that kinda food. I’ll continue to go to this gas station because the prices seem to be consistently lower than other places.

This place is the dumps from what it was few months ago. The gas price isn’t that great. I use to stop by in the morning for coffee, no more, I go to 7 – 11 now.
And I go to Costco for gas it’s cheaper plus Iget 12+ cents per gal rebate back on my Amex credit card so way cheaper.
All new employes and they seem lazy.

Not so cheap anymore, just go to Costco instead.

This is used to be the cheapest gas in Bonita, now there is another station with the same prices. It sucks that they charge the .45¢ to use my card but since I bank at BofA (not for long though) I just take out a $ 20 and use that, but that’s the problem I have to put gas in $ 20 increments.
They have lots of coffee and soda to choose from and they always have good chips and snacks. Prices on other stuff are not the cheapest but its on the way.
This place is convenient but that’s about it

It’s 2011 people… if you don’t take Credit Cards you don’t get my business. Get with the times!

So I hate how Arco charges you 45cents if you use your credit/​debit card!
Sometimes some of the ladies at this location can be total bitches. I’m not sure if they’re just on their peroid or pmsing, but I mean come on every single time I come in they are rude.
So I tend not to come in here unless I have cash (so I don’t get charged the fee) or so I can get gas. I’ve found in Bonita they have the cheapest price, but only if you’re paying with cash!

Cheapest gas prices in the area, helpful & friendly staff, and cheaper overall than the 76 station up the block.
The staff are friendly, remember you, and again the prices are cheaper. A pack of smokes will run you around $ 5 here, the 76 station charges about $ 8 for the same pack.

I know it’s just an AM PM market but the people that own it and work there too are very very nice. They are always helpful and accommodating.

pros… this station is right next to work. so i usually go here if i can’t make it to costco. the prices are very reasonable, not sure about the quality of gasoline, but the car and scooter still run after multiple fillings. the workers here are really nice, and helpful. the shop is always pretty clean and orderly.
cons…just the price of gas these days is way too much. and special thanks to the old lady in the gray toyota corolla on new year’s eve!
she personally blocked traffic with her car, just to personally tell me that my motorcycle’s back tire was 3 inches in the no parking lines, of the side of the air/​water machine. of course my bike was not in her way, completely out of the way of the traffic, cause that’s where you would pump up your tires. didn’t know if she wanted to pump up her tires or what, but i was there first, and i’m putting the coins into the machine of course i’m gonna use it.
