I used to absolutely dread coming to this Costco to get gas. It was always a nightmare between the…read morecustomers at the warehouse and the travelers stopping for fuel from the nearby highways. Easily a 20-30 minute ordeal during high times for commuter traffic. I think beginning of last year, they completely remodeled and reopened this Costco gas area. It was given multiple extra pumps, a much better flow for traffic, and the sensors for the pump areas so you know when to pull forward in line. Now when I stop here, I either pull up directly to a pump or maybe wait 5 minutes max. The worst time of day you will still only see a 5 to 10 minute wait. It has been absolutely worthwhile and I will now sometimes go out of my way to fill up here. Thank you for the upgrade, corporate!

Never been a fan of any Arco AM PM store until I visited this one a couple of days ago. Let me…read moretell you, it is the best AM PM store that I have ever patronized. Arco gas stations are my go to spots for filling up my rental cars. Had never been impressed with the inside of any AMPM convenience mart until now. Helps that this convenience store has only been open a couple of months. They've done a fine job of maintaining the cleanliness of the place both inside and outside. Very nice layout and setup of their merchandise. Not cluttered like so many other stores. Service was friendly with a smile too The competition is fortunate that this Arco AM PM store is located on the other side of the overpass. As always, Arco's gas prices are cheaper. They only take cash or debit cards. If you use your debit card, there is a 35 cent charge. Worth it cause of the price difference. I think AM PM's slogan is "too much good stuff". Well, this is the first location that I've been to that lives up to that slogan. Good job and keep it up! Yeah, I am a fan.

If you're wondering where everyone in Bakersfield is on a Sunday--they're busy doing their shopping…read morefor the week at Costco! The parking lot is fully packed and there's hardly enough room to maneuver your cart through the crowd. It's actually a very unpleasant experience, but you go through it to get the deals and great selection that Kirkland offers. Despite the crowds, they do their very best to get you in and out. They have done their best to streamline their "self-checkout" process. However, the Costco Food Court lines are crazy long, and move at different paces based on who is attending to it. I wish they did have drink carriers, since the hot dog is a common item that is ordered and it comes with a drink. Those drinks stack up and it would be convenient to have a drink carrier to manage all of the drinks. They recently added chicken tenders to their menu, and I don't recommend them. You get 5 tenders for $6.99. They come with a Chick-Fil-A-type sauce, but it doesn't help cover just how salty the tenders are on their own. And they were extra salty! The strawberry banana smoothie also tasted very processed. I wouldn't recommend that either. I miss the classic berry smoothie they used to offer back in the day. I'll stick to the Costco hot dog deal.

It's a very spacious 7-Eleven and gas/service station!…read more Easy access for pumps and one of the less expensive places to fill up in Bakersfield, especially before hopping on the highway. The inside as well as outside is fairly clean... Service is okay, not the warmest... Possibly due to issues in the past. A lot of people hangout on the side at night until the early morning, but it's mostly well lit in the main areas... So, just be carely. If you're just grabbing gas you won't even need to stop in or venture beyond the pump, just fill up... But like most places cash will save you a $0.10 per gallon. They have their essential Select brand and convenience store favorites you'd expect. Water and air off to the side and Ice out front. No car wash or any extras beyond the above, but it's open 24/7.

I'm not sure if this is because there's a need (there is a lot of transients in the area) or if they have a company account here. Or perhaps it's simply a good location in between both sides of the freeway - either way - you'll almost always see one. On my recent visit, the pumps on one side had only one regular gas. In fact, the buttons had been punched out. The pumps definitely had seen better days and I reluctantly put in as little as I could. You will not find gas to be a good price here. It's afterall, a desperation station.
