16998 W Bernardo Dr, San Diego“I always have an easy experience at this location, there’s no complications whatsoever. The self service cleaning areas are also so helpful and I’m able to leave with my car smelling and looking amazing inside and out. I recommend!”
“Not only do they have fantastic prices on their gasoline. But the gentleman that was working on the day that I went in recently was incredibly kind. I'd been having a hard day and he offered a gesture of kindness that I will never forget and I will always appreciate. I highly recommend them just based on the quality of his character.”

1766 N Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas“This was good gas prices. The people allowing you to use the restroom. I was pumping gas but they didn't even ask if I was a customer or not. It was very clean. I feel like gas stations should be mandatory to have restrooms. It's almost a rarity to find. Good job. Barry brothers, you guys are my new favorite gas station. Everybody should come here. I didn't think you could have a favorite gas station till I came to this amazing one and just filled up my tank also. They keep the same price for credit and debit. I'm not sure if that's a normal thing but I sure appreciate it. Definitely in these tough times”
5:30AM - 9:30PM
951 Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad“They have gotten better, pricing-wise, in the last year. They weren't always the best prices (compared to the Morena, Vista and San Marcos locations), but they seem to have the better lines than the Vista location. I attribute that to the demographics of Carlsbad.
Many of the gas station monitors are not very bright people and I have watched them allow people to hold up lines, block traffic, and sit at a pump that's not being used for three and four minutes.
If you ever consider getting the upside app, if you're getting $200 in rebates from upside, spend $60 for a Costco membership and you will save exponentially. More money. Take $0.07 off or $0.50 off, Costco will give you the bigger savings and they use top tier gas exclusively. Plus, Costco gas has tire pressure stations that are free and open during their store business hours”
5AM - 10PM
445 W 5th Ave, Escondido“This is very convenient gas station with lower than average gas prices. Be aware that trying to get a pump at times can be very very difficult. When it is busy it is a free for all. You gotta really be cautious in this station as it can be a very tight squeeze at times.”
8AM - 10:30PM
445 W 5th Ave, Escondido“Hard to find an honest mechanic in general. I'm lucky to find Mr. Son's shop who is very kind and honest. Took my niece's car here twice and I have no complaints. They fixed the car right away and haven't had issues since.”
“Trustworthy mechanics are hard to find. Offered me fair price and great overall service. He is my goto mechanic for any car repairs. Most recent visit, he repaired my engine rattle issue on a Benz C250.”

310 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas“They just installed a brand new car wash. It is so much better than the old equipment. It is touch free only!! The cheap wash did a great job of getting my SUV. Also you can wash a dully truck in there, so wide no tracks on the floor. Also you get a discount for gas when you wash you car!!!! Yay also everybody is so nice.”
5:30AM - 9:30PM

12610 Sabre Springs Pkwy, San Diego“This station is always well taken care of, even though it is always pretty busy.
I have a FlexFuel E85 vehicle, and this Arco carries Pearson Fuels ethanol and is the only one around my area that carries it. Prices are always good, although the shopping center can get a bit hectic sometimes when pulling in and out of there. All in all, it's a great fuel station for anyone using E85 or pump gas.”
Open 24 hours
300 W Washington Ave, Escondido“Great cheap gas. Never can go wrong with Arco because of the gas prices. But they need more maintenance because their gas stations in Escondido are messy. But then again you're just there for the gas not to stay and enjoy the place lol”
6AM - 7PM
2499, San Diego“Prices are still ridiculous here in CA. Still can't understand why the military, on orders, have to pay California's ridiculous taxes on base. Watched young Marines put $100 in their gas tanks on base. Sad with their pay checks. No 'minimum wages' here, as i hear CA is to give $20 an hour to burger flippers next year can't help but question this country's priorities. Better options at bargain stations in town.”
Open 24 hours
434 W 5th Ave, Escondido“Love it . Whenever I'm in Escondido I only go here for my petro.You can usually get it for a couple pennys cheaper if you want to endure hoards of highly stressful amounts of people all trying to fit into a bread basket size of a station at the same time.”

945 Tamarack Ave, Carlsbad“I had an outstanding experience at the Mobil gas station. From the moment I pulled in, it was clear that this station goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service.First and foremost, the cleanliness of the facility was impressive. The pumps were spotless, and the surrounding area was well-maintained. It's evident that the staff takes pride in keeping the station in top condition.The customer service was truly exceptional. The attendants were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable. They assisted me with a few questions I had about fuel options and even offered some helpful tips for maintaining my vehicle. It's rare to find such helpful and courteous staff at a gas station.Moreover, the convenience store inside the station was well-stocked with a small variety of snacks, beverages, and essentials. The clean and organized layout made it easy to find what I needed, and the prices were reasonable.What truly set this Mobil station apart was its commitment to environmental responsibility. It's great to see a gas station taking steps to protect the environment.Lastly, the fuel quality was excellent, and the pumps were easy to use. I left the station feeling not only with a full tank but also with a sense of satisfaction from the overall experience.In summary, this Mobil Gas station is a shining example of what a gas station should be. Outstanding cleanliness, exceptional customer service, a well-stocked convenience store, environmental responsibility, and high-quality fuel make it a top choice for anyone in need of fuel and more. I highly recommend this Mobil station to anyone passing through the area.”
“Pretty solid value relative to how clean your car gets. Can’t beat the ability to fill up on dollar fish tacos while you get your car washed, too.A bit more costly nowadays, but what isn’t? Bring a buck or two for the guys who finish the interior when you grab your keys. Keep your receipt until you have your car back.”

9720 Carroll Centre Rd, San Diego“Smitty is awesome! He provided excellent customer service. He was polite and took the time to help me out to pump air in the tire of a rental car. He was polite and explained how to use it, and read the gauge. Thank you Smitty!”
“This review is for the car wash. And the bathroom.It's not the closest car wash to home, but it's one of the better full-service ones around. They've done a good job with my various cars over the years, including trucks that accumulate mud and road grime outside and cute dog hair inside. Sometimes the exterior will have a streak or two remaining, and often times the interior will have dog hair and sand in the crevices. I rely on the detailing guy who comes by when I want perfection.The office / gas station convenience store features one of the cleanest gas station bathrooms you'll find anywhere. There's not fresh roses and an attendant handing out towels, but they keep it nice and there may be a real pot of pouporri in there somewhere.”
“$70 later and I feel like I am leaving San Diego Car Care with a new car... everyone there is so kind, approachable, and helpful. This place is a GEM and their service is excellent. I paid Best Buy $300 and this $70 detail was WAY WAY better. George cleaned my car and he is outstanding at his job!”

6616 Miramar Rd, San Diego“5 star experience with great cashiers. 2 draw backs. The entrance and exit are finicky. With all the traffic coming in and out. And just remember. Debit fee at pumps at inside when using debit and credit cards.”
“Everyone working here is f friendly, helpful, and chill as f@#k! It's one of the two main reasons I rated AAA Fuels 5 stars. The other being their selection of fueling methods. Very solid, well rooted local business here in Escondido. And I really like the quality and variety of products they offer!And surprisingly a great place to watch the show off July 4th too!Long time customer, life long supporter!”

1187 W San Marcos Blvd, San Marcos“I would like to say that if workers have disrespectful tattoos to please make them cover up. I am a women and seeing a man have a tattoo on his arm of a womens legs spread with everything showing is beyond humiliating and embarassing. Yes, it's their body to put what they want, but show some decency and diginity at work.”

1710 San Elijo Rd, San Marcos“I stopped here while on my way home and was filling up my car. There was a guy at the pump next to me doing what looked to be martial arts. Then he kick flipped off the pole and continued waving his arms around. My friend and I were watching him as he took the nozzle off the pump, pays, chooses a grade of fuel, and splashes it in his mouth. He spits it out, chooses another grade, and starts guzzling it… After he decided he was done mouth washing with fuel, and he hadn’t even gassed up his car yet, he sped off. The employees were also incredibly shaken at what we witnessed. Great and kind employees though, clean store, four stars”

8901 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego“This business has courteous people. I needed assistance to fill my gas tank. they were there and willing to assist. Even as the tank was completely filled they asked me if I needed anything else. they hand delivered the receipt. The price of fuel is good, they offer the Walmart fueling price too.I would highly recommend this station in and out.”
“This place is awesome, great service.Ended up hunting down this VP location as the one in PB doesn't want to stock the 95 or 100.They're old school here and have people outside ready to help you pump your gas.4 different options for gas Regular87, Premium91, 95.5, and 100.It's a bit out of the way but a fun ride on your motorcycle.”
