“ARCO near UC Davis might just outdo the university — and it’s a gas station. It’s not glamorous, but it’s direct: you get what you pay for, no illusions. It’s functional, accessible, and doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. Compare that to UC Davis, where everything is dressed up in buzzwords and branding but fails to deliver. The school pushes shiny campaigns, inflated reputations, and empty “excellence” while students deal with mid-tier academics and a disconnected campus experience. At least ARCO doesn’t fake it. It gets the job done — which is more than you can say for a university that’s constantly selling the illusion of greatness while running on fumes.”

“This place is right off the freeway and has gas at a reasonable price. Inside the store there's a plethora of snacks drinks and other things to choose from for your ride to wherever you're going. It is very easy to get back on the freeway from this location which is mainly the reason why I choose it. The facility is as clean as you can expect a gas station to be and there is some fast food locations nearby.”

“5 stars because the Crackhead Car Wash -Self Serve - nextdoor still has 1 working unit...as a garden hose only, though lol. It's a shame because 10 years ago this was a nice neighborhood. Cheap gas & have never had a problem here. Nevermind the crackheads around 7-11. Too bad they damage the Crackhead Car Wash....named after them, of course.”

“Was coming home from Reno last Thursday and stopped in at this service station for gas and food. Have to tell you, there were some off the nicest people working there! I was hungry and wanted a premade sandwich. Grabbed an egg salad sandwich out of the fridge and placed it on the counter with a bag of chips. The cashier started to gather my items to ring me up. The chip bags first then she grabbed the sandwich and felt the package. She told me that I should go select another one since this one doesn't feel right and might be spoiled. She even asked her coworker for an opinion and she agreed. Being that I was still 2 plus hours away from home, eating something that could have possibly been bad was appreciated. I appreciated the care these two employees have! Such wonderful people! In addition, the bathrooms here are super clean!”

“Super friendly workers! I don't know why I avoided this place previously , I guess I was always under the impression it was more expensive that 7/11 etc for drinks. - energy drinks being the main culprit in my case However I was pleasantly surprised with their prices! I also grabbed a slice of pizza here which was very tasty. The staff were happy to turn on the air for me... and do it again when someone else used it on me! I was overall quite impressed and will be back more often.”

“A girl named Kusum works in your gas station in the morning. She is a very good employee. I see her working in your store all the time. She works as if she is doing her own work. I have never seen such a hardworking girl in my life. I come to the store every morning and find her working. She deserves an award. If I meet the owner of the store, I will definitely ask him to promote the post. And she attends to the customers very well. There is a smile on her face.”
