Westside Arco Am-Pm Mini Mart

Everyone here is very friendly. The really bad part is it is 2015 and they have plenty of staff on at 11 but they have to shut everything down and I have to wait 20 minutes to purchase anything. It’s poor business and so unnecessary.

I know it’s very rare to review a gas station I’ve been driving for past 20 years and getting gas in my car for past 20 years but I never ever had a gas station that I felt like family every single attendant in this gas station is like the most nicest person ever the morning stuff is great like Mr villas and this another lady sorry I didn’t get your name I get my coffee there every morning and they always ask me if I got the coffee I wanted and then make sure it’s there in the evening there three people who work there again the African American guy I don’t know his name also a white tall guy lil bit old but very nice and the night attendant I mean every single person at that gas station it’s the most friendliest you never feel like that if you go to a gas station you pay the money and you are done but here it’s amazing their customer service is outstanding

Ok so I know this is a really odd review. I mean who reviews an AMPM, right?
Truth is I’m only reviewing because of the stellar service I’ve received here. I mean, you never really expect a friendly face at a gas station, but this gas station attendant was simply amazing. I did not get his name unfortunately, but he was a 5’8(ish) african american guy.
I don’t know how to thank him for being so nice, outside of writing this review. So if you’re reading this, you are the nicest gas attendant ever!

I buy gas regularly here and they are the cheapest around. The staff are friendly – what a nice change from most gas stations. Since their prices are so low, they get really busy, and that is the only issue.

Hopeless and offensive — stopped tonight to fill up — they have an archaic system with one credit card machine for four pumps. The machine retained my card. I cancelled, card would still not come out.
Saw cashier, she shrugged and called manager — he couldn’t have been less interested. He said it’d have to wait until the next day. I asked him to unlock it, and he said no. I went out and got a first aid kit from my car, got the tweezers and extracted my card, but not before this rude offensive individual told me if I damaged his machine he’d call the police.
I got the card out and went back in (he had no interest in coming outside) showed him the tweezers.. .showed him the card — explained that he could have at least pretended to be interested as it was his machine that was at fault. — I told him he couldn’t have been less helpful — he said «I know» — rude offensive, stupid and totally not interested.
Will never use this pathetic station again and Arco maybe be cheap but that’s all it’s got going for it. Sad disinterested staff with absolutely no interest in customer care or service. Assume these ppl can’t get employment elsewhere and get absolutely no training or anything to do with being helpful, respectful, courteous or even kind on the most basic human level.
Absolute rubbish experience. Never again.

A decent gas station. I go here because it is a lot cheaper than most of the other gas stations in the area. However, be prepared to wait because a lot of people come here to get gas as well. Also, you’ll have to pay with cash or debit only.

Review for a visit on 8 November 2012
I was driving back home from a Doctor’s appointment, and noticed the Car was running low on gas. This was during one of those weeks when gas was ridiculously high. As I was driving near Palms from Sawtelle Blvd, I remembered about this gas station, and was surprised how low the Gas prices were compared to a few other places at the time.
The lobby was very clean, and well maintained, and so was the men’s room (as I had to make a pit stop since I was stuck in Rush Hour traffic after leaving my appointment about a hour earlier).
I had about $ 40 cash with me, and I had enough to buy a burger, a coke, and fill about ½ a tank on my Xterra.
This is my go to gas station when I’m in the area.

The cleanest mini-​mart I have been to… seriously, I totally dig the cheeseburgers. I get my am/​pm cheeseburger fix on at this location whenever I am in the area. Seriously, CLEAN!!! Friendly cashiers.
Oh yeah, they have inexpensive GAS too.
Man, something about that cheeseburger.

This is a clean and conveneint for Gas and need item after hours.

I haven’t been into the AMPM, but I think it’s the cheapest gas in this area and I’ve never had to wait in line. The only issue is that you have to pay a fee if you use your debit card, but all Arco’s do that, so it’s expected.

The cheapest place for gas in the area palms. Plus I love the coffee. lol
