The car wash broke my driver side mirror Spoke to the manager told me "there's a sign saying to close mirrors in " I've been there before nothing happened the car before me also didn't fold mirrors in and nothing happened . I asked to speak to owner and was told that the owner is only there in Tuesdays and that he will not be willing to pay for the damage . Workers there seems to smirk and laugh as if this is a joke completely unprofessional read more

ampm - Broken mirror - Gas Stations Near Me - Sylmar, California

See all

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I stop here to get ice coffee mind you I'm law enforcement and I refilled my Starbucks cup. I was willing to pay what they charge 269 for the larges but they wanna charge me five dollars for iced coffee. Yes I understand you guys said no refills so I'm just gonna put your cup it's in my cup it's not a big deal and they made it this big O issue. Like I said I'm law enforcement and I need coffee to stay awake to keep everybody safe so that was ridiculous that they made a big O scene with that. I just left 350 for them and told them there's your money and I'm walking out I'm not paying five dollars for something that only cost $2.69 read more

I tried to get gas on the way and stopped here. They DON'T take credit cards and they DON'T tell you why except "not right now" And some of their employees DON'T wear masks or even have one in sight. DO NOT VISIT UNLESS YOU WANT COVID! read more

Restroom & snack stop. It smells "clean" in the store as soon as you walk in the door. Well maintained & very clean women's restroom. Automatic paper towel dispenser. Push-down faucet. Caveat: Only one stall/one restroom each for women & men, so you may have to wait a bit. Conveniently located right off the freeway in a seemingly safe area (aka not in the hood). Situated before Santa Clarita & before Magic Mountain, so a very decent stop if you're heading back to the east bay before the grapevine. Busy car wash alongside it and a taco place right next to it. Store is light, bright, & inviting with a huge drink selection & lots of snacks. Freeze drinks. BBQ sandwiches are $1.50. If you're looking for a decent place to stop heading back to the east bay or otherwise, this is it. Not super fancy, but is presented well. read more

This ARCO Ampm location, just North of the 210 off the Roxford Street exit in Sylmar, makes for a quick and easy rest/refueling stop with very easy access both on and off the freeway (if you know what you're doing - and with my help, you will) First, and most important, this station has very clean restrooms. There is a Chase ATM inside if you need a little cash. The soda fountain carries both Coke and Pepsi products. There are several diet options including Diet Coke, Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Mountain Dew, and Diet Pepsi. Impressively, there are two different textures of ice available at the fountain; the Pepsi side has regular ice cubes and the Coke side has 'crunch ice' which comes as smaller pellets. I prefer Pepsi products, but I'm definitely in the crunch ice camp. There is also a good selection of drinks in cooler, including Crystal ice and energy drinks. This is an ARCO station, so you can only pay using cash or an ATM card - no credit cards accepted, BUT this station is unique in that there is a separate payment station for cash, but you can pay with your ATM card (for a $.35 fee) right at the pump which I find very handy. I read in another review that ARCO is NOT listed on the site toptiergas.com and that this means that their gas is somehow inferior but that is simply not true. Try checking that website yourself, as I did, and you will find ARCO listed as providing some of the best quality gas available today. According to that website, "TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Seven of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Audi recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance." ARCO is on the list of retailers that uphold this high standard. This particular ARCO location also has a car wash. Yes, you read that correctly, a car wash. And there is a flower stand on the North side of the building, next to the fountain and 3 picnic tables with shade umbrellas. Also on the North side of the building is a Blue Rhino propane tank exchange. $24.99 if you're exchanging a used tank, $59.99 without an exchange. On the South end of the building, with its own entrance is the Fast n Fresh Mexican Grill. NOW for the inside information: if you try to exit the gas station using the entrance nearest the Ampm building you will be forced to make a right turn and will have to travel a significant distance before making a u-turn. If, instead, you exit by the entrance to the East, just past the car wash, you will be allowed to turn left and will make it back to the freeway much quicker. Trust me on this one. Leave by east entrance read more

ampm - Yes, an Arco with a car wash - Gas Stations Near Me - Sylmar, California

Ampm is supposed to be 24 hours. So why at 12:30am does the only attendant just pretend the whole place is closed and decides to pal around with a bored police officer? I work nights on the road for Lyft, I needed a break for a drink and this guy just snickers behind the counter and doesn't move a muscle. Ridiculous. read more

The staff do not wear masks. They do not require customers to wear masks. There's no social distancing.

Maggi at the register needs to be polite with the customers and not turn her back to speak Spanish to her co-workers. She needs to go to school to learn how to be professional. Bad for business!! read more

Generally, I don't think there is much point to reviewing an Arco station. It a convenience store and a gas station, with cheap(er) gas of suspect origin. If you read my 100th review you know that I spend a lot of time driving up and down the 210 from Pasadena to Santa Clarita. This Arco is by far the most convenient station along the whole 40 mile trip. That still doesn't really justify a review, though. This Arco, however, is a little different than most I've been to. First, it's new, if you are using a card, you can pay at the pump rather than having to go to one of those kiosks. Everything is clean. I don't generally buy gas here because it's in Sylmar, thus more expensive than, say, Pasadena, but I do frequent the convenience store (an AM/PM) on occasion. This is THE most well stocked convenience store I've seen in a while. Exhibit A - they carry Kettle Chips - individual sized bags of Kettle Chips - in lots of flavor (Spicy That, Buffalo Bleu) - the only other place I've seen that is at Whole Foods. The most significant thing about this place, though, is the service. The people working behind the counter at this station are by FAR the NICEST convenience store clerks I have ever encountered. They ALWAYS greet me with a smile; they always say "Hello", even when the place is packed with crazy people fighting over the coffee. It literally brightens my morning, the days that I stop here - as long as I don't have to buy gas... read more

I'm giving this Arco 4 stars, not because of the quality in relation to other gas stations, but from it's relation to other Arcos. Lets start with a little history. I got my first car, (88' Toyota Corolla with about 250k miles) back in 2005. Yeah, a hunk of junk I know. From now on it would be referred to as "Ramfla". I used to put Arco cuz it's cheaper than most gas (but even Arco isn't that cheap in my neighborhood) and my parents would say all gas is the same. But its a good thing I drove the Ramfla cuz it taught me otherwise. The car had this crazy, cartoony way of turning off. The engine would seriously shake, after I turned the ignition off and had the key out, making all sorts of noises. I thought it was going to blow up. Even scared a few of my friends riding with me for the first time. One day, I wasn't near an Arco and I got gas elsewhere. Amazingly, the shaking stopped. I went back to Arco one last time, and the shaking came back. After that, I never went to Arco for gas again. The Ramfla ended up dying, and now I drive a Lexus, and there's no way I'm putting Arco in it. But I still stop by this Arco in particular because of the location, and the AMPM. It's right off the Roxford exit, just one exit away from my house, and walking distance from a close friend's house. If I ever wanna grab something quick, it's usually on the way. The exterior is nice in comparison to other Arcos. They actually put a little outdoor fountain and bench. Also, there's a place to tie your horse in case you need to fill-her-up (gotta love Sylmar). The pumps all have little TVs and their own credit card reader. It's usually crowded, but I've seen worse (Foothill & Sayre). The only thing that really bothers me is the compact parking. Usually a normal car can squeeze in, but nope, not here. You need to be driving a Mini Cooper or something, otherwise you will take a spot and a half. And that's usually what ends up happening. read more

Probably the CLEANEST and most well kept gas station in the area. Don't believe me? Go to the gas stations on the south side of Roxford Street to get an idea. The inside of the store is always fully stocked with whatever grab and go items you may need. Aside from that, its a gas station. Compared to others in the are, they aren't the cheapest or the most expensive. My only gripe, as with all Arco stations, the damn debit/credit card fee. That and I never use Arco gas unless I absolutely have too. I have always gotten engine knock whenever I use Arco gas. read more

I stopped by this morning to put in my tire and at first the air pump took the air out my tire (i probably wasn't doing it right) so i called the actual store and they sent a staff to help me . The mans name was Cesar , he saw i was distress and came and helped me he put the in my tires and check my other tires I'm sure he didn't have to but i really appreciated the help so much . Thank you read more

Anthony said that the cup of ice was 89 cents and then processed to charge me 2.00 for the drink. I highly recommended he get educated how to work. His willingness to work was highly unprofessional. Had a bad attitude, made shower remarks. I've always liked ampm.... still will. I think the manager should take action. read more

Hands down the worst car wash ever! Ten dollars and I couldn't see out my windows when it was finished. The car was left covered in dirt and some blue slime. I had to take it to another spot to get it clean. read more

Thank you thank you for the wonderful, clean, airy, bright, well stocked restroom. I've been traveling all day and seen some poor excuses for restrooms. This one is by far the most restful of restrooms! read more

Super rude and not helpful cashier. Blamed me for not saying the correct pump number and another person pumping with my money. Never going again read more

Nothing fancy but does the job. They don't take credit card, so keep that in mind coming here, but will do cash back at the register.

This place is horrifyingly bad. You can't use the restroom after midnight and they blast really bad pop music at all hours. The staff is somehow rude yet nonverbal. Avoid if you can! read more

7/2/10, 1.30 am. $2.99 per gallon, which was cheaper than the surrounding gas stations. What??? You're gonna charge me $0.45 for using my debit card??!?! read more

By far, this is the worst establishment I've ever come across. I went in to simply buy a can of alcohol after a long day of work, I don't even get to the refrigerator door when a man told me that "last call for alcohol ends at 11pm" (it was 11:05pm) which is entirely a blatant lie considering under California jurisdictions, the last call is at 2 am, this was a clear case of discrimination. I paid it no mind so I went to check out to pay for a bag of candy, where I had a cashier by the name of "Ale" check me out as she is eating hot Cheetos on the register, handing over my change as she continues to chomp on the chips and handing me the change with red hot cheetos debris on her fingertips. I was completely disgusted. I'm calling corporate. P.s. The 7-11 down on a Foothill and Polk had no problem selling a can of alcohol. They also treated me with respect. read more

My experience started out bad, but in the end, I feel compelled to give them a 5 star review. Unfortunately, my car was scratched due to an issue with the car wash. This was annoying, but the owner of the the station was very nice about having my car repaired like new. read more

Terrible customer service, the employee's child was running around the back counter. After trying to swipe my credit card five times she tells me they don't take credit. Then she says we take it for five dollars or more... So annoying and rude. Never stop here again. read more

Snacks there are really good and I love the drinks there as well. The bathrooms are really clean and smells nice too. The employees there are really nice. read more

Super crowded. The way the pumps are set up is kind of inconvenient. A little higher priced than what I'm used to, but I was in def need of gas. Right off the Roxford exit on the 210. read more

The worst gas station ever. I was running on empty around 2 am and the employee refused me service until it was precisely 2:05 am. Seriously. I want to get home and not be stressed, why is this happening? I just want to get home safe and fast to my family. -1 star. read more

The don't take credit cards, forcing you to use a debit card. Then they tack on a 35 cent fee to your debit card payment. None of this is explained at the pump, forcing you to go inside and stand in a long line, when they will finally explain it to you. read more

I drive a Ford Fusion Hybrid. I'm used to putting in a dollar or two just to get from point a to b when I'm low on cash. Today I came to this arco and attempted the same thing. I asked the attendant for $1 on pump number 2. Well I go to the pump, and select regular... go to pump, complete my purchase then go to turn on my car only to find out nothing actually went in my tank!!! I usually get between 5-10 miles off of a dollar or two! I get that arco is the cheapest kind of gas! But really!!! They just pretend to pump gas until they decide gas should actually go in a tank!!! I went inside to complain but the girl behind the counter kept explaining to me that I got my moneys worth. And I'll every time I tried explaining to her that i didn't she just kept telling me there wasn't a malfunction. I can't blame her. I'm sure it is just company practice. Needless to say, I probably won't be going to any arco's from now on. read more

Very friendly people. They live to make sure your happy and take care of you very efficiently. They are always happy when you walk in and always say hello and thank you when you leave. When I go there they usually offer a small candy to my son on each visit. read more

So my husband tells me we need and I said what there is no other gas stations but Arco no choice my husband gave my son $22 dollars my husband just told my son pump $12 they're going to give you $10 back my son gets back with only a receipt we asked my son where is the $10 and he said the lady only gave me a receipt and I told her to give me my change and she said no there's no change at that point I had to get off the car and go tell the lady Hey where's my $10 change she said no your son only gave me $12 I said no he gave you $22 so we are you back in Forth she said you can come tomorrow and check the cameras because the manager is going to be here so I called this morning to see if there were over $10 or they check the cameras or anything the manager said yes your son gave the lady $22 he said you can come and pick up your $10 and at this point it's not really about about $10 is about knowing how to count money looking at the bills before putting them in the register. read more
