Arco

bad experience. its illegal to charge for water and gas and they won’t abide by the law. i have regularly gotten gas there and she refused to allow my to fill my almost flat tire there unless she could get money.
poor customer service. don’t go there.
my atm card was also stolen from their atm machine at the pump. don’t blame them but it’s a warning don’t pay at the pump. better yet find a safer gas station to go to with better customer service.

I just had a great experience with them today. I needed to get my car smog checked and I had a low tire pressure warning light on the dash board lit up. Sonny, the mechanic, took me immediately as a drop in. I explained that I thought it was the spare tire because I had checked the others and it is on the sensors. My spare is one of those where you have to lower it by a crank in the trunk and it drops down to the ground — very awkward to get to. He checked all the tires, lowered, checked, and returned the spare, and did the smog check all in about a half an hour.
He only charged me for the smog check — no charge for the tires, which actually took more time than the smog check! He was very pleasant. I often get my gas there because they have good prices, but I will make a point of going to them in the future!

RUDE, GREEDY, UNPROFESSIONAL!
Wanted to get air for my tires and the lady REFUSED to turn on the air unless I get gas. Mind you that I go to this gas station every week to get gas and I even did my smog check there 2 weeks ago. I didn’t have 25 cents on me, only my credit card. This is not only ridiculous but a shame! Instead of trying to keep a good customer, you make a stink about AIR! Clearly this was my last time going there…

Went to this gas station to get air for my tires. The attendant refused to give me air unless I bought something. This was a straight violation of the California law that mandates that air and water be given to all persons free of charge. I pointed this out to the attendant and he advised me to complain to the government about it. So I made a complaint to the better business bureau.

Works well for me. Goid price and the store is food. Sometimes a line inside the store and line for the pumps. Card readers work most of the time. Gas pumps can be a little slow sometimes. But most of the rime its ok !

Cheapest gas in East Long Beach. Never busy.

no doubt. I love Arco. Cheapest gas in town. yea.

5 stars for honesty and integrity! Bought gas here 6PM, couldn’t find my wallet later that night, phoned the station, it was closed, left a msg. Got a phone call 6AM for me to come get it. Sonny ID’d me, made sure that everything was still in it, declined my offer of a reward. Was so impressed by him, that I insisted he take all but $ 20 of the cash in the wallet, he got $ 37, which he certainly deserved. Thanks again Sonny!
We buy all our gas at Arco stations if possible, and have had cars go 200,000 miles with no fuel problems. Too bad this one isn’t in my neighborhood, but I will buy gas from Sonny whenever I’m near.

Arco gas is what it is, but the family who run this station do a good job; in particular this review is for the service station. You can probably scout around and find a cheaper oil change, but I take cars here with confidence that I won’t be ripped off and that my car will be treated well. I’ve been here for oil changes, smog checks, and other minor things and have been pleased with the work. This is a small shop so they might ask you to comeback another time when busy, but if you’re not in a rush give this place a shot.

I love Ghetto LB Gas Stations! My super Favorite: D No lie that’s where all the action happens… yeah I guess I vigorously live thru all the interesting individuals that frequent this gas station… I must be pretty boring =/
This review isn’t a joke I love this gas station whether gas is $ 8.92 or .74cents per gallon they already know me $ 30 on #5 with all smiles and a unicorn to go!

Gas is gas, but the reason I’m taking time to review this place is the smog station and auto repairs. I have been going to them for years and they are fast, honest, and very well priced. Whenever my car has broken down or given me trouble with smog, Sonny’s there to eliminate the problem fast. Will be going here for years to come.

Very happy with the smog repairs done by Sonny at Smog Pros Arco. He really knows his stuff and is very reasonably priced.

Very small gasoline station.

All gas is the same, despite all the marketing tactics of different oil companies, in the end all companies purchase their gasoline from a single supplier.
Arco is usually the lowest prices around, usually 5 cents to 10 cents cheaper than the competition. I like this Arco, since it’s family-​owned and the owners are nice folks, having to deal with all the homeless people asking for a hand-​out. However, the owners are so nice, that they allow homeless people to rummage through their garage.

gas is gas is gas…
and arco is awesome because it is the cheapest around. this one is less than a mile away from my place.
the owners and workers are really nice here!
it’s pretty itty bitty inside, like smaller than my bedroom… but they have a way larger selection of gatorade than 7 – 11 as i’ve noticed on my drives to kickboxing while getting gas.
they have a smog check and oil station but i have never used either of those services.
one star off for not accepting credit cards… only atm or cash.
cheap asses!
