I love this Arco. Very convenient and has the best prices. If you are in long beach or running out of gas while on the 405, come here. You dont know how many times, they have save my butt. Now they have a car wash too. BONUS!!!!
The staff is nice too. This is my go to gas station when i am in long beach. -

Great prices but the parking lot is a nightmare! If it's busy, good luck getting in and out. I have to admit though this Arco is located in a pretty good spot if you need some gas before you hop on the 405 freeway going north but be careful when you pull out of the gas station before you make that quick right onto the freeway or you might get smashed into. I have seen this happen before and it wasn't pretty.
The do have a car wash now and its funny because this gas station went out of business about 4 times in the past 6 or so years. Previous to it being a car wash, it was a drive through window for a Louisiana Fried Chicken. Man I wish that place was still here ... that chicken was the bomb! -

Great gas prices so tends to get super busy. There is hardly ever a time that this station is empty, go figure. I have good experiences here but my trip yesterday was crazy.
About 4 pumps were out of order, only marked with small pieces of yellow tape so you didnt notice until pulling up and getting out. I waited about 20 minutes just to get to a pump.
But again for the prices, waiting is necessary i suppose. -

Some of the cheapest gas in Long Beach!
This new station is large and easily situated at the corner of Long Beach Blvd and Wardlow, directly next to the 405 NB entrance.
My favorite feature? Being able to pay outside with cash or card. Leave that long walk and use the quick pay machine. -
Review from Cheryl B.
Convenient spot, clean mini mart, and probably the lowest price for gas in the neighborhood. I've gotten an icee (or whatever they're called in there) and a push pop in their store.
Only negative is that Arco doesn't take credit cards, so you have to use cash or your ATM (and get charged an additional $0.45). -

This is a brand new ARCO station and AM/PM. If you need cheap gas, junk food and energy drinks near the freeway this is the place to go! Conveniently located right off the 405 freeway, the prices here (at least today) are a solid 14 cents lower than other gas stations nearby.
While I may not be a regular ARCO customer, I can appreciate their lower prices and this station's proximity to the freeway. I don't know if the prices will stay quite this low; they may be especially low right now because they want to attract customers to the new station.
The AM/PM is filled with the goods to satisfy all of your convenience store needs. They have over a dozen coffee and coffee-related options, a wide selection of fountain drinks and at least 4 ICEE flavors.
This location was really clean and pretty nice looking for a gas station. They also had squeegees, which I don't think most ARCOs have.Listed in: In the LBC: Places I like to…

Brand new ARCO station on the corner of Long Beach Blvd with a nice structural design :)
I like getting gas in here because there's a lot of space for the cars to go around, back up and to wait.
Bright lights and clean AM/PM compare to the one in Atlantic.
ABSOLUTELY CHEAP GAS!!
CONS: They charge 45cents for using debit card. BOO! -

Good prices, and good positioning by the side of the freeway for when you're running low (or out) of gas.

This used to be another gas station...I wanna say like Texaco, but I'm not sure. They also had a Louisana Fried Chicken place here, but the chicken was really greasy and not that good. They closed, now it's ARCO am/pm.
I was on my way to Vegas last Wednesday for a craps/roulette fix and needed to tank up. Course, Long Beach Blvd and Wardlow is right off the 405, so it's real convienent. Since it's new, it's got that "clean and friendly" vibe, but don't know how long that's gonna last. Other thing that impressed me is that they have probably a dozen or so fountain drinks, as well as Slusshies. Store is what you'd expect for a decent gas station.
I give a 1-star deduction for the fact that they charge your ATM card with a 45-cent surcharge to dispense gas. Now, you can sign up for their ARCO am/pm card and waive that fee, but all the card does is link it to a checking account. So, it's really not a gas card, but more like that Mobile Speedpass. Since I'm a driver and the majority of the time my company gas card doesn't work, I have a small, but growing collection of gas cards.
Also, if you go there, don't get that Moutain Dew Throwback. Yes, it's made from real sugar and wrapped in the retro-styled lable, but it doesn't taste right. Guess my taste buds are just accustomed to high fructose corn syrup! -
