    Pay inside or grab some snacks from this tiny shack.
    Jeff B.

    (Filled-up 01/30/15 F @ 9:00am): Usually the cheapest non-member gas around, but I rarely used them since they didn't accept credit cards! My Toaster was running on fumes (her gas guage light was giving me the stink-eye, too) as I coasted her into this Arco & AM/PM located across the street from a KFC, "my" Smart & Final and one of "my" post offices in order to use a gift card I received as a Christmas present. The practicality of a gift card was the only way I ever filled-up at any Arco gas station or someone paid for me due to the lack of credit card acceptance and my lack of carrying cash or a debit card. Let's talk gas!: 87 Regular Gas ($25.00) - Ironic how gas prices have tanked now that I no longer had a 35-mile commuted to work! After 10.97 gallons of gas at $2.27/gallon, my ride was ready to go. Fuel quality seemed fine. On this sprinkling morning there was no need to squeegee the windows, so I gassed and went. Service - Unless there was something wrong with the pump you were at, the pay machine was either not working or out of receipt paper, you wanted some snacks from inside the tiny AM/PM http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=KgAqaXVlL-SIWYy2m4P21w, or you needed your car serviced at the small onsite garage, it was all self-service. Pump #6 flowed fast like a flash flood. Parking (Free) - They had a couple spots - for those who needed snacks or directions, I guess. Otherwise, get in and get out! Atmosphere, décor, ambience - A spacious gas station with wide aisles and lanes to pull up along or pass by cars with stucco pillars. It had a total of 16 pump stations (four columns with four pumps each), squeegees, soapy water, paper towels trashcans, and an air and water station. All the pump stations had a small roof platform that covered them, but if the rain were coming in sideways you'd be drenched http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. There were two entrances/exits each along Wilson Ave. and the main drag of Verdugo Rd. Be warned that this was a high-trafficked intersection and busy location so be careful and have patience. There was plenty of natural lighting during the day and very bright lighting from both street and above lamps at night. There were no TVs or background music. Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, this Arco & AM/PM in Glendale served its purpose and was perfectly located close to a few regular spots I'd hit up. Although the prices were cheap, I wouldn't say they were the cheapest because of its location...location...location, so traffic could be snarled at times depending on the time of day. The facilities were adequate, well-lit, and open late. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total paid experience was around $25.00; no tip required). And, they only accepted cash and debit cards (gift cards, too), so my credit card of choice stayed in the wallet...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    I used to come to this gas station a lot when I lived in Glendale. Hasn't changed much. Still fairly busy. Best price for gas in the area.

    I've been using this car wash for two years, and everything had been fine until today. As usual, I…read morepaid the maximum amount -- $15 for the Ultimate Wash -- because it's important to me to get multiple wash cycles. I had barely driven inside when, after the first soap application (which had almost no foam) and a quick rinse, the machine displayed the "GO" sign, indicating that I should exit. I was very surprised and assumed it was a mistake. I pulled out, parked, and went to speak with the employee who had given me the receipt (this time I had to pay at the register because the machine wasn't accepting credit cards). I explained the issue to the cashier. He tried to assure me that everything was working as it should, but I insisted, and he said he would check the cameras. A few minutes later, he returned and said he hadn't noticed anything unusual -- in his opinion, everything was normal. I pointed out that there were fewer wash cycles than usual, that I paid $15 for the top-tier service, but in reality received not even the basic wash -- but a poor-quality version of it. I asked why I hadn't been warned that the wash might not be operating properly, since I wouldn't have chosen the highest-priced option otherwise. He responded that what I choose is up to me. Still confused by the situation, I once again explained exactly what had gone wrong. He asked how long I had been using this car wash. I said about two years. He replied that a lot has changed in two years -- the soap is different, the cycles are different. I immediately responded that I had used this same car wash just a month ago, and everything was fine. He said that he believed everything had worked properly this time as well. At that point, I realized there was no point in continuing the conversation. He didn't seem interested in listening and kept repeating what sounded like a memorized statement about how everything was fine. I turned around and left while he was again insisting that nothing was wrong. I did not receive a refund. I did not receive an apology. I did not receive any acknowledgment of the issue. I will not be returning to this car wash. For management: the employee who assisted me was a man in his 50s.

    So I got a car wash I brought my receipt inside after and I was told it was ok that I get the 5¢…read moreoff the gas or whatever the deal is because now I wanted to pump gas, I pay for the gas with the male tall man and then he's checking my receipt in detail and he mentions the time I paid for the wash is 2:52 pm, I said yes I went thru and then I was drying my car before I came to get gas I haven't left the gas station, it is 3:30pm as I write this now. It just happened. I was asking for manager information after 10 minutes after I paid of him trying to explain to me in his very broken English that I have to pay for gas and car wash at the same time. I mentioned to him that I didn't know that and if he could adjust it for me and he had said okay I paid and then he started with the annoyingly horrible explaining of that's not allowed. I asked for owner information or manager and he looked down for a lie in his brain to form and said "oh he's on vacation" and I said how convenient. I asked the girl next to him if she could give me owner information and she said no and then he started speaking to her in their native tongue right in front of me. I said can you not speak in a language you thinkkkkk I don't understand and she seemed like a scared trainee that was terrified of pissing him off. He's way bigger than her and she just went along with what he was saying after he decided to explain to her in their native tongue what he wants her to regurgitate to me. I walked out without saying a word grabbed my receipt and I've filled up my tank as I wrote this review. The disrespect of this place and (also the horrible quality car wash because they started using cheaper ingredients in the soap) is WHY this place has horrible reviews. Everything could be improved. New staff would be the starting point.

    This is for the car wash. Don't even bother. Not worth even the basic wash. I have a company…read moretransit van and I had time on my way home, so I wanted to get a good wash in cuz I've been washing it myself and didn't want to hassle getting the step stool and all the equipment needed to wash at home. First off, I'm always afraid to take the company vehicle through these washes. I guess this car wash is not good for long big transit vans. Most of these types of car washes are height limit of 7', which my van is 6'7". So barely made it. Then the driveway leading in and out is a short curve, so it's a tight squeeze! You think a 7' vehicle is going to be short and stout? One of the nozzle wasn't even spraying. Then the water pressure was like taking a shower at home. Barely any water was spraying my windshield. When it was doing the final rinse, suds started water falling down on my windshield, which was from the top of the van. When the air dryer hit, it didn't even blow off the suds from my windshield. Let alone wash my windshield. When I got out, my windshield was worse than when it went in. I had to use my wipers after. When I got home, I still had to pull out the step stool, window cleaner and paper towels to clean the windshield and my side mirrors. Ugh!

    Uneven wash, feels like only half the car gets cleaned…read more I typically prefer touchless car washes--especially since my vehicle has a ceramic coating. It's an easy way to maintain it without having to hand wash every time. That said, this one needs serious improvement. The biggest issue is how uneven the system is. The laser washer clearly favors the top and right side of the vehicle, which gets decent coverage. The left side, however, is only partially hit and not evenly addressed at all. You can visibly see the difference when the wash is done--one side looks clean, the other looks like it was semi-skipped. This imbalance carries through the entire cycle. The underbody blast, soap/clear coat application, and rinse all seem to prioritize the top and right side of vehicle. Even the dryers follow the same pattern--mostly hitting the top and right side while leaving the left side wet and streaky. For a fully automated system, consistency should be standard. Right now, it feels like you're paying for a partial wash instead of a full service. I like the convenience, and I want this to be a go-to spot, but until the coverage and drying are actually even, it's hard to justify coming back. If they fix it, this easily becomes a 4-5 star spot--but right now, it's not there.
