Arco

Yanos is the rudest worker ever. With that attitude, no wonder your working at a gas station and pushing 40+ years. Loser.

This Arco sucks. My tire needed a little air, so I went to put some air in it after I had filled the car with gas. «The air pump is broken do not use it» would’ve been helpful from their staff, after I went in to get them to turn it on. The staff didn’t seem to know that it was broken, even though someone has clearly tried to have taped up the hose. So after I tried to fill up my tire & I noticed it had let out most of the remaining air in my tire, I go in to see what I should do. Their suggestion? Drive to a different gas station. Thanks guys, really helpful. Don’t you know you can’t drive on a flat. So there I am, 11 o’clock at night, after a long night at work, having to change a tire that could’ve easily been avoided. Cheap gas. The air pump doesn’t work. Lousy service.

1^st of all– The lot is cramped. It’s hard to get in and out.
But what pisses me off is all the pay stations are cash only! WTF!!! Why do you want to make it so inconvenient for me to buy gas from you?!
I left and spent my dollars at another station. I will not be coming back.

WORST SERVICE EVER! Do not buy gas here — save your money & go up the street to the other Arco on 445 E Walnut, also in Pasadena.
They are cheaper and have friendlier sales clerks!

Like all Arco stations, gasoline here is cheaper then every other competitor. Tonight when I drove by it was $ 3.39 for regular unleaded. Even with the $.35 convenience fee, you’re still coming out way ahead if you pump more than a few gallons.
This Arco station is open 24 hours, and it’s juxtaposition to the 210 freeway and Rosemead Boulevard means it’s always lively. There is a team of cardboard sign panhandlers that work all four left turn islands of the intersection at Rosemead and Foothill, and they often use this Arco as their 15 minute break station.
This is also one of the older Arco stations in the area. As such, the facilities are not as modernized as, say, the station at the corner of foothill and Santa Anita a few miles east.
As an anecdote, the station has the distinction of being the place I saw the cheapest gas as a driver. In the late 1990s, gasoline was advertised at the station for $.83 a gallon, when oil prices tanked. Now, we have been trained to believe that gas for over three dollars a gallon is a deal. The cosmic dance… Continues.

Pretty cheap gas considering it’s located in Pasadena and is close to the 210 freeway! Conveniently across the street from the Whole Foods shopping center that contains a Aarons, Vroman’s, and a Starbucks. Also convenient place to fill up before heading to Eaton Canyon.

Cramped arco station, but low gas prices! The arrangement of the stalls make the lines long since a lot of drivers do not know how to back into the stalls. It also doesn’t help that there are three stalls per row. I only come to this location because it’s right off the freeway but its definitely not my favorite arco.
