Arco Am Pm

I rarely stop and get gas at Arco. I do like their prices but most are run down. They don’t take credit cards. And this one didn’t surprise me. This one is very busy. There are 4 other gas stations within a block and 2 within 500 feet. So since being the cheapest. It gets crowded fast and mainly always. On bad thing about this place it is hard to pull in. Usually full of cars. Then since most people are trying to get back on the highway. Its hard to get out. You have to cross the road to get to the Freeway. You better going up the hill heading east for a half mile and get gas there. Sure Arco is right off the freeway but you and everyone else gets off that road. Maybe for a bit stop or to go to the lake.
Now lets talk dirty. Yes about their bathrooms. If you need to go. You should go across the street to Denny’s or any restaurant near by. You will be thankful you did. So if you want cheap prices on gas. This is a good place. But you can drive down 3 more exits and find another Arco. With cleaner restrooms and better access getting in and out.

Filthy bathrooms. No paper towels. No working hand dryers. And… No the slowest gas station ever. Ten + minutes later and we’re going across the road.

went in to buy coffee, no sleeves for hot coffee cups. I overheard the cashier telling to customer in front of me, who also purchased coffee, the cup has a HOT warning when he told her if he burned himself, he would sue.

Cashier would not accept cash because she was closing in twenty minutes. She refused service to three other customers. Store and restrooms are dirty and need updating. Should be zero stars.

Cheap gas, friendly employees, and the perfect location at the intersection of the 46 and the 101 made this the perfect pit stop to fill up on gas and coffee whenever I road tripped from Bakersfield to San Luis Obispo (and back) to go dancing on Tuesday nights with friends. I stopped in here often in my pre-​Yelping days and when I returned in January while on my way to Monterey for a dance competition it brought back many happy memories of road trips of days gone by with carloads of dancing buddies that always seemed to involve a pit stop here around 11:30-midnight to fortify ourselves for the long drive back to Bakersfield.
The gas is still cheap. The restrooms are still clean. The coffee is piping hot. And the lady working the register was very friendly. Many places don’t live up to my rose-​colored memories of days gone by, but this Arco certainly does.

Have been here a few times on my travels up and down the state. I like this place because it’s close to the freeway, has a well stocked mini mart, and clean bathrooms. Workers have always been nice and friendly.

Station only accepts cash and debit. Plus .35 transaction fee.

I was traveling to San Diego this week, and since I had stopped here in Paso Robles for something to eat I figured I would top off my gas tank here. I was very surprised to see that the gas station was completely empty during this time of the day, but I am guessing with as many people that was at the county fair at the moment, this location would get very busy.
I enjoyed how clean and well maintained this location was, and I would agree with the other reviewer the gas prices are the lowest in the area, they are about 5 to 10 cents lower, and since I was trying to save every cent during my trip, this was a huge saving for me. I filled up with gas for the car and some snacks for me, and in less than 15 minutes (most of it in the restroom) I was ready to get back in the freeway to continue my trip down to San Diego.
If you are looking for a good quality and reasonable gas, this would be my recommendation for you to come to.

Best gas prices in town! Also the best selection of items at any convenience store I’ve ever been to. Staff is always very friendly every time I’ve been in. Very very clean as well.
