Soda machine was NOT working. Icee machine was NOT working. A lady in the store said she walks there often because she lives in the neighborhood & the machines never work. Ridiculous. Store was clean, I'm sure they had everything else but that was literally my main reason for stopping here. read more

Edgar is a wonderful person. He went out of his way to help check the air in our tires when he saw we were struggling, and fill them up for us. I hope the best always comes his way. read more

This location use to let us use restroom now every time I come they tell me restroom is closed. I'm not spending over sixty dollars at a gas station that refuses to open restrooms. read more

Absolutely the worst rudest most disgusting treatment from the cashier, last night I thought I dropped my card so I went inside and politely asked the cashier if she saw a card somewhere she rudely yelled we dont fucking have it ! And I had my kids with me ! So disappointed read more

This is one of the worst gas stations you could go to there's a Hispanic lady who's really rude in the morning, this lady should be fired she can't even count change correctly! Forget the fact that the gas is cheap... It's probably not that good.... Try buying a coffee they're going to nickel and dime you will actually they're going to charge you for each and every creamer are you kidding me....? I don't care who you are in this world if you're rude you're well I'm not going to say... read more

I usually love am/pm Arco. This location is nice clean... aesthetically it meets expectations. The personnel and some of the policies are just stupid and this is why they get a one-star period a paying customer who buys gas and food requiring a fork, must pay $0.25 for said Fork. $0.25 for a plastic fork? Again paying customer buying gas and food at 6 in the morning. Asked for bathroom token, which was never a problem before. I looked presentable, had paid for gas and goods and was denied. The night time employee states the bathroom is closed. I asked if it was not functioning. She goes 'no we don't allow people to go in there right now.' There are no hours posted for the bathroom. There's no literature explaining this anywhere and it's never been a problem before. I asked where is the nearest restroom that would be open? She tells me to go to a different ARCO in Marina del Rey. Are you kidding me? Does that even make any sense? This this location needs to get it together. Make some uniform policies and keep them consistent from shift to shift employee to employee. Post said policies that are different than every other AM PM Arco location in Southern California. Had I known I have to pay for plasticware, I probably would have gone somewhere else. Had I know that there are hours for the bathroom, I probably would have gone somewhere else. This location would have a decent review if a customer could have a chance to learn about these different policies on location not after point of sale or point of need. No bueno. read more

2 of the 3 stars cause its close and its priced lower than the other local gas stations. Other than that its its like any other Arco you've been to. Have no idea why a place like this should even be allowed to be reviewed. It seem to be like all the other ones. But at least the homies inside are polite. read more

I live a few blocks away. This used to be the place I went for gas or snacks every day. However, I no longer go there do to the homeless people who accost customers in the parking lot and by the pumps. There are many other places around to get gas and snacks where I do not need to fend off aggressive people asking for money. read more

They charge an extra .35 on top of every transaction regardless of the amount. Then they also charge you .10 for a bag that will literally disintegrate when you go to pick it up. The drinks in the fridge are all warm and the employees are rude. The only decent employee they had quit and works down the street at Mobil. It was a mistake going here and I won't make it again. Dale's is better anyways read more

Okay, so the prices here are lower because it's an Arco. However, since it's an Arco you cannot use your credit card to purchase gas... Which can be a hassle. The snack selection is seriously on point. I can't complain. So many delicious fountain drink options as well. I'm always overwhelmed. I shop till I drop when I'm here every time. The bathrooms are disgusting. They're outside, and coin operated (available at front). I literally can't. So don't. read more

I regularly purchase lottery tickets, along with an additional $10-$15 in food, always with a please and thank you. Over last 3 months, the 2 ladies on swing shift have become increasingly rude, and unhelpful. Looks like I'll be taking my business to Dale's Jr. read more

This Playa Del Rey Arco station is a good 15 cents cheaper per gallon than most nearby gas stations. Credit cards are not accepted at the automatic pay stations (cash is but it is always out-of-order), and using ATM cards will require an additional $0.45 charge. But you just can't beat the price of gas even though it does get very busy during peak times. There is also an am/pm store (with a decent selection of snacks and drinks). Currently though, the store is undergoing a renovation/redesign, and the am/pm may not be open for business right now (but the gas pumps are still active). read more

Woman at the counter was polite, efficient, just overall great at her job. Only a small purchase I needed to make, but wanted to compliment the woman working tonight. read more

Not even 8pm and clerk says the bathroom is closed. S he was rude about it to. Who wants to get gas at such a ride place

I agree, the gas here is ALWAYS the cheapest. I almost dont want to tell anyone for fear that will ruin my secret cheap gas station, but I figure people arent always yelp-searching Arco stations. You must have CASH or there is a fee to use a card. read more

If youre looking for onions stay the hell away from this place. I worked 5 hours straight in the heat starving out of my god damn mind and all I wanted was a chili dog, but after crafting my chili dog I go over to the condiments and there are no onions!! I asked the woman in the back if they had any more onions and she said no. What kind of shanty town decrepid run down garbage shack are they trying to run here? Unbelievable. read more

Didnt expect much refill your amenities u wait till customer say something!!! just bad service put little chilly on hotdog cuz ther was no ketchup charged me for it!! read more

Sometimes you just need cheaper gas than the rest of the surrounding gas stations and this place is the spot. I ain't hating on penny pinching anymore... LOL! read more

BE CAREFUL USING A CREDIT CARD HERE. The outside card reader won't work with credit cards, so you can take it inside, but the attendant stole my information and tried to use it to buy $2,000 worth of Apple products the next day. I realize I shouldn't have given card to anyone without me being in their presence the entire time--just in a hurry to get back to the airport and thought nothing of it at the time. The guy seemed friendly---that's what I get, I suppose. Beware this station. read more

Why would I buy gas from you when you don't even have a restroom for customers?? Especially for a decent sized station. I almost wet myself. Lol. Thank sweet baby Jesus I found a Taco Bell!! read more

I go here for my three newspapers and Diet Coke each morning. They have a good section of snack foods and the fountain soda machine usually works. Sometimes cranky, unfriendly workers but most of them are friendly enough. Good gas prices and some healthy food choices like yogurt and various fruits. Fairly clean for a convenience store. Coffee and snack items everywhere as well as donuts. ATM, and lottery tickets here. read more

This is my one stop when I'm just relaxing and need a quick snack when I'm not working. This place has a couple of quirks, but most of my experiences have been good. Let's start with the good. The staff is generally pretty cool. They have a friendly demeanor and are always willing to help. The place has tons of things to choose from and the gas prices are good compared to other places around. It's never really too packed, and it's location makes it good for a last minute cheap snack before heading to the beach. Some of the negatives can also be the staff. Let me clarify, most of them are nice and helpful, but I don't like it when they start speaking Spanish to other employees when I'm trying to ask for something. Whether I understand or not, I find it rude (it's not always nice things to say at work). The bathroom situation is not good, and sometimes the gas does spray. I've had this experience at this location several times. I've only had this happen to me at a different location years ago. It's really difficult to complain about this place because they try their best. And despite their proximity to the airport, it's never really inconvenient to go there. People have always treated me with respect and I can't speak for others. However, I have seen some questionable customer service decisions. We've been visiting this location for years now, and a lot of the staff that worked there has been pretty nice. More recently, it's been a younger staff, but they are knowledgeable and remember you by name. It totally feels like a neighborhood store even though it's a franchise. read more

it's a gas station. i get gas here. i pay, put gas in my car. i drive away. i visit again, and lo and behold, they still have gas there. it's like magic: I keep going and paying and they keep giving me gas. sometimes I buy red bull when it's on sale, sometimes I don't. kinda bummed that there's no full serve...in fact, when was the last time you saw a full serve...oh, wait. that place on centinela near the jefferson entrance to the 405 freeway. but that place is too damn far and the prices are too damn high. i could walk here, except that doesn't make any sense when I'm trying to put gas in my car. unless I take one of those red plastic tank thingies and fill that up and walk home with it, but that would be a complete waste of time... kind of like this review, but hey, who actually reads these things anyway? read more

I've been coming here for all of my munchie needs since I was 14 years old! Enough said, right? I love their junk food selection. Their gas, not so much unless you're paying with cash. I have always hated their mark up when using your debit card. I go to G&M Gas Mart on La Tijera and Manchester Blvd.... Literally, the cheapest gas around town! read more

It's a gas station. They sell gas and disgusting food, case closed.

They double charge and they rip you off. Don't come here. I went in to buy a few things and used my debit card to pay. The guy at the cash register said my card was declined and had me try again. I did so because it was only $7 dollars and no way the decline was legit. It declined again so I decided to just pay cash. 4 days later my bank account shows I was double charged and nothing u can do but file a claim with my bank. AVOID. read more

People in neighborhood be aware. This is one the worst gas station I have ever seen. New system they have for pumping gas takes forever. I seen few customers they rather to go inside and pay cash instead of dealing with the machine outside. They restrooms is closed at night time and they don't give you the key. I went for buying snack night time, I asked the cashier if I can buy couple of lottery and he said is closed. He didn't accept my large bill neither and asked me to pay with debit which they charge you 35 cents for it. And the end I asked for a bag and he said 10 cents. I didn't have any change and if I wanted to get the bag I had to buy with debit card and pay another 35 cents more. Employees don't have any training how to treat the customer specially in the neighborhood like playa del Ray. read more

Great prices as are most arcos. The least expensive gas for about a mile around. Not too crowded.

Very friendly staff. Plus, I'm constantly running into my neighbors and saying hi.

yes!! yes!! yes!! this places is so worth driving the extra couple miles!! $3.95 per gallon?? yes$$! read more

This gas station frequently has pump problems. This morning, the pump I was at would not shut off, and kept overflowing all over my car and the ground. In order to stop it, I had to remove the nozzle from my car, and therefore the gas got all over me. The employees were more concerned about calling the owner. than helping me, who was standing there dripping with gasoline. One told me "sorry, there is someone in the bathroom". Gasoline is toxic and poisonous, and their response was ridiculous. When I called the owner to discuss, he blamed me for the incident. When I asked to be reimbursed for the gas geyser that his faulty pump spilled, (mind you, I asked for 5 dollars) he yelled at me, saying that customers expect to get away with everything and anything. I am appalled by this terrible display of disregard for their own negligence. Don't even get me started on their lack of customer service. I will never go back there again. read more

Buyer Beware!!! This morning I went to gas up, as I typically do. I live in the area. Before I did anything at all, I removed the nozzle from the pump and I was sprayed with gasoline. It felt like a lot of gas, It felt like at least a half gallon. I went inside to report to the lady at the register, Carmen, and asked for the manager, she said they were not there. I asked for the assistant manager, she said they do not have one. I told her I need to report this. She just shrugged. I went back outside to finish fueling my car, and promptly another employee followed me outside and began taking photos of me. She did not say a word to me. I asked her for her name, she said Marybell. These employees are not trained at all, as far as customer service is concerned. I immediately contacted ARCO, and filed a report. I also filed a complaint with City of Los Angeles Weights and Measures Department. IT IS PUMP # 1, unleaded 87. read more

Even with gas prices rising this gas station seems to maintain its rep in having the cheaper gas price
