Ray’s Arco Smog Pros

This place is pretty chill, it get super busy though because it is usually the least expensive gas you will find in the area, it’s definitely always cheaper than the chevron across the street. 2 things and important things to me that affect the rating. The quick pay machines do not work by the pump with your debit card you have to go in and use your card, which means another line to wait in, and they don’t sell beer

Stopped by because it was the cheapest gas on the block.
Was having problems with the u-​haul truck that didn’t want to turn on for the second time. I was hesitant about turning off the engine but it’s unlawful to do so hence I did. To my consternation the engine wouldn’t start again so here I was blocking the gas pump. I went in to let the attendant know about my situation. He was really nice and understanding and said it wasn’t my fault. Such a soothing balm to my already frayed nerves.
They have 4 stations, total of 8 pumps. Clean and conveniently located along Ramona blvd and Cogswell. The 605 and the 10 freeways are less than a mile away.
I will keep coming back just because of the A1 customer service.

Usually come to this location because they have the cheapest gas. They also have those automatic machines to put in your cash so you don’t have to deal with the cashiers.
The negatives of this place is that their selection of food sucks compared to the Circle K that is right across the street. Also bumps tend to hangout in this location. They don’t bother anyone but other gas stations that I have gone to don’t have them around

I use this station often. I’ve never waited but at times it’s hard to get around the place because it is a small location with few pumps overall this place is safe to pump.
