I absolutely love this gas station. Very conveniently located next to the freeway. I live right around the corner and seriously go about 2-3 times a day. I know all the staff and they are all super friendly. Only downside is that they don't accept credit, only debit. They charge you a small fee to use debit, so unless you pay cash you have to pay the service fee which is annoying. Other than that I really love this place and the people that work there and will be a loyal customer until I die or move lol.

-expensive!!
-gotta hold the pump yourself
I can't believe I just paid 4.39 per gallon for Arco gas :( should've read the reviews. No wonder it was so empty when I got there. And they don't have those things that hold the pump handle in place for you, gotta stay there and hold it yourself.
Plan on getting gas somewhere else...anywhere else -

This AM/PM was 14 cents more expensive than even the shell/chevrons down the road off of the whipple exit, where there exists an AM/PM that was more than 20 cents cheaper per gallon. Additionally, this AM/PM had no latch for the pump handle, so you had to hold the pump the entire time. Compound that with the 35 cent ATM fee, and you have a really bad deal that's only ameliorated by this station's proximity to the highway.

Say it ain't so?!
Am I really the first person to review this gas station that has been around forever in Belmont?
Hand's down, it is my favorite gas station in the area due to it's convenience and easy access to Hwy 101.
Although I try to avoid Hwy 101 at all costs during morning (and occasionally evening) rush hours, sometimes you just have to man-up and endure the hairy traffic.
Other than those crazy commute times, this Arco AM/PM tends to be one of the most inexpensive gas stations in Belmont AND they have a great convenience/snack shop - perfect for those quick red bull's and tiger milk bars right before a run, work-out, or dance.
It's a little out of the way since I'm right off of 92 & 280 but it's worth the trek down the hill & back up again.
Another plus is that it's neighbors with the Belmont Post Office and 1/2 a mile from my favorite Belmont Safeway and Starbucks.
I would give it 5 Stars but it doesn't have a car wash. -

When a person needs gas, where else can they go? This place charges extra for credit cards and the reader isn't credit card friendly.

this Arco gas station is CONSISTENTLY over priced compared to other Arco gas stations. They expect cash but they don't modify their prices to reflect the cash price. On many occasions I have seen their prices be the same as the 76 station or even higher. What's the incentive to pay cash if there isn't any? I NEVER get gas there because it's over-priced CONSISTENLY! In this day/age, you'd think they'd want to attract customers. Hope they re-think their prices!
