Arco

Cheap gas, helpful staff, and a very affordable automatic carwash using 85% recycled water.

Saied was very helpful. I pulled up just as he was leaving for the day and he actually got out of his car and helped me fill my tires. So kind. Thank you!

I went there today, the cashier there was very nice and helpful, he also cleaned my car’s window. I will go there again.

Went to Arco this evening to fill in gas and get air in tires. The young man inside was on his personal cell phone when I went in to ask for help fill air in my tires. His response was, no I can’t do that. So I went to try to use the air machine and it didn’t work. He seemed irritated that he had to get off his phone and come help me and said, «You drive your car and you don’t know how to put air in tires?» Needless to say, it took him several minutes to get air to work. I think there are better employees out there who may actually want to help the customers and not sit on their phone while on the clock. What is wrong with people???

I had a terrible experience at this Arco station and will never go there again. I do NOT recommend this place. The attendant was unimaginably rude, the car wash is hard to understand, and the owner seems to have been dishonest (a snake).
Stay away!

The people who work here are the creepiest! DO NOT GO IN TO THE TELLER! The family owned gas station across the street matches their price but the people are very polite. Avoid this place like the plague!

Cheap gas=good
Car Wash=horrible
Owner=horrible
Workers=good, but boss overshadows all of that.
I purchased a car wash which didn’t wash or rinse the car properly. I exited the wash with all of the soap still on the car. When I asked the attendant for help or another car wash, he said he couldn’t help. This was with my car literally covered with soap. I finally convinced him to call the owner who refused a refund or another car wash.
I was finally able to convince the attendant (who again was friendly, but «hands tied» as to be able to help with the car wash) to let me borrow a hose to rinse my car off on the side of the gas station.

I had a horrible customer service experience after purchasing gas and a car wash. I am a weekly customer, and this was the first time I tried using the carwash which I paid a measley $ 6 for.
The attendant guided me to move forward in the carwash, yet when I went too far past the sensor, the machine shut down. He clearly saw that I had not gotten a wash yet, but took my ticket inside, came back out, and said it had already been used. How was that possible when I had just purchased it 5 minutes ago? He said no carwash because it had already been used (it clearly had not — uh, can you see the bird poop still on the hood?) and that it was my fault for driving over the ramp.
He then called his boss who said no refund, no exceptions. They wouldn’t even give me the car wash I’d paid for, until I stood there for 15 minutes arguing with the guy. I asked if he thought I was lying and he essentially said yes. Outrageous.
Please don’t patronize this Arco gas station if you can help it. The owner is unreasonable and orders his staff to not provide any decency towards working with customers. I feel bad for his employees. I work right across the street and will be spreading the word.

Had the pleasure of coming to this Arco Station while visiting Moraga for the day. It is located on the main drag running through town across the street from the Taco Bell and Starbucks.
If you are coming to Moraga or driving through I would recommend stopping at this gas station if you are in need of a fill up because it is the cheapest one in the area.
If you only need a few gallons, you might be better off going somewhere else (unless you are using cash, but who does that?) because they do charge a $ 0.35 debit fee and don’t accept credit cards.
This gas station is also clean and well maintained. It has a propane exchange, car wash, snack store and 8 pumps. What else do you need?

I really really hate the «pay station» that really did not want to accept my credit card and made people wait in line behind me, but I am thrilled that they have a drive-​in car wash!
The wash is easy. No brushes — the brushes are made of rubber strips.
It was very entertaining to take my somewhat nervous dog through with me. He was pretty sure we were in a space ship to a different planet and had to go though a few asteroid clouds with the loud slapping of the rubber pieces and the sprays of water. By the end, he was smiling at the adventure. I will do that again!

This Arco gas station was a 76 one a while ago. now refurnished, upgraded. it’s standard arco fare, cash only
gas @3.35 regular is amongst the cheapest in moraga now.
only bad: station is only accessible from one direction. (7 – 11 side)
no worry. gas station across the street has matched regular pricing. other grades, .10 higher.
