“I was struggling locally to find the right replacement for a broken hinge and stumbled upon Hardware Source online. Fantastic service and a perfect match! Easy online inquiry--upload 3 pics (door closed, door open, and close up of hinge) and add any description/comments. I added the brand name and number stamped on the hinge body. Received the reply with recommended replacement the next business day. Ordered and received 3 days later. Perfect fit and we're good to go! Very impressive.”

“This Ace Hardware location has got to be my favorite. Am I a little bias because it's so close to me? Maybe but I have actually been to many Ace Hardware locations and this one is just top notch. One there is so much to explore here with multiple floors and I am not the most handy person but there is so much to look at and discover even cute kitchen towels with funny quotes on them. The staff here is amazing. Within seconds of me walking in the door clearly having no idea where to find super glue out of the many isles that there are, someone came right up to me to help and took me directly to where I needed to be and even showed me all of the different options to pick from. They are so helpful at this location I know when I go in for something that it'll be a quick and easy trip because the staff here is the best!”

“I honestly don't know how they did it. Yesterday I realized that I didn't have enough packers to do a project. I contacted them after 4pm and told them my problem. They must have immediately placed the order and shipped it 2000 miles to my doorstep. It arrived at 7:44 am.NOBODY has this level of customer service...”

“Have been back twice this week! The service is outstanding, friendly and attentive! Owned by locals and community active. Selection for a brick and mortar location is excellent! The prices are reasonable so stock up!! Parking behind the store off the alley is available and free parking on the street too. We prefer shopping here than the big box corporate stores.”

“When we first moved to this area I was disappointed there wasn't a big box home store near us, but then I discovered Ace! I am always amazed by the selection of top quality brands they pack in their square footage (don't forget about their upstairs!). Regardless, their employees and management make the difference. They go out of their way to help you solve whatever issue you are having even if they don't sell you anything. You might save a teeny bit by driving further away, but there is value in saving time and being treated well. Good luck even getting help at a big box store! Ace Carmel Valley reminds me of customer service the way it used to be-honest, responsive and helpful. Thank goodness they are in our community!”

“Derek was insanely helpful. That's the reason I go to Ace Hardware. He walked me through all the specifics with the problem I was having with my project and it turns out I could actually do the whole thing with parts I had at home, but when he realized that he was still super helpful, and gave me a bunch of advice.”

“I love this place. I'm used to being treated like dirt at a certain big box store so was surprised at how helpful they are here. They actually tell you what you need and where it is. Friendly and kind. The guy at the key area actually told me to finish my shopping and he brought my keys to me looking at another aisle. I felt like I had gone back half a century when there was customer service. Will buy everything here now. 10 stars”

“Helpful staff and big selection of hardware, it's what keeps me going there. I start here for products because I can be in and out quickly. The staff can help find anything they have and make sure you have the correct items. Big inventory fir a small store.”

“This store is amazing, so clean and organized and the staff is extremely friendly. I was helped by Tony, and his service is next level! I can see why he is the manager, the guy was able to help and solve with my honey-do project with ease. Tony greeted me and was very polite and professional, hard to come across great service these days. Thank you Tony and Ace hardware!”

“Cool, old-school electrical shop. Popped in today, needing to make a quick test clamp for an automotive issue I'm troubleshooting. I didn't catch the gentleman's name that helped me, but he was able to find exactly what I was looking for in no time. Price was cheaper than if I had bought some ready-made chinesium set from an auto parts store or a Harbor Freight. Will certain be back the next time I need something.”

“Shout out to Sherrie, the manager at the El Cajon store! She went out of her way to make sure I found the perfect navy blue for our kitchen, and spent a lot of time helping me! The other employees at this store are also very helpful and courteous. Great place to buy paint!!!”

“Great source for fasteners. They have an interesting way of arranging things - find what you're looking for on a board, which is cross-referenced with shelf numbers that are marked on the floor. The bolt selection is better than anywhere else in the area, though there are some things they don't have. I'm still MUCH more likely to shop here than online, it's really important to keep places like this open. There's also a great selection of tools. Might be a little more expensive than a discount house, but within reason and you'll find what you need.”

“I bought a VLog Kit from the Resale Source because I’ve always wanted a ring light and it was a really good deal, way less expensive than other ones I’ve seen. It works awesome and I have not stopped using it since I received it! It’s the perfect size for your desk and I use it on all my work Zoom meetings. It makes such a huge difference to the picture quality! There are three different light settings that you can play around with to find what works best for you. I swear it makes you look younger too! I absolutely love it. Highly recommend this product and The Resale Source.”

“Thank you Lori, for always having an answer when I call with, I'll admit, the most craziest questions. Thank you for always having the supplies I need and if you don't, you find them and get them to the store closet to my project or me.”

“We had a fantastic experience here when we recently expanded. They were thorough with their information and gave me a lot of options at different prices so I could make the best decision for what we wanted. This is the only place I'll buy my retail supplies from.”

“Came here a couple of time for tools I needed for my garage and a project. I needed sockets for axle-lock nuts and hex screws, chock blocks, work light, and a torque wrench. The store is organized and clean, so I was able to find them all. Checking out was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would come back for more if needed, especially with the proximity to the house.”

“I haven't made a purchase yet from the cabinet and hardware division, but Jeff made an excellent impression on us so we're inclined to. He opened our eyes up to other options. He communicated with us very well and seemed to know a lot about the business. We're impressed with E.B. Bradley's customer service and selection as well.”

“My wife and I went to Dixieline for some window and door options last Saturday, was very pleased with the options just wasn't sure if we could fit them in our budget. Mary helped us and had a fantastic experience! She gave us plenty of options that fit within our budget and was super friendly. Shopping for new renovations can be stressful but thankfully Mary made it quick and easy for us to make a decision and narrow our budget to make our choices! We will be recommending Dixieline and Mary to our friends for all of their renovation needs.”

“The long time employees are always extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The newer, younger ones have room for growth in all three aspects but that is understandable”

“I walked in with a towel bar and needed a hex key but didn't have the right size. An employee (or the owner?) took the time to help me find just the size I needed, and it was all of sixty-seven cents plus tax. This is the kind of old-fashioned hardware store that we need to have around and should all try to support.”

“Mark, the manager, provided me with stellar customer service this morning.My painters goofed and used the wrong sheen (flat) on my kitchen walls. So I pointed to the satin and they apologized. However, now I needed a replacement can of flat, so I quickly drove over to Dunn Edwards and got one gallon of flat.Then the painters told me they needed another gallon of satin since they had put that on the ceiling. So, I made a second trip to Dunn Edwards that morning and Mark immediately recognized me and offered his assistance despite being short staffed. I was stressed and frustrated, but Mark made it better by providing me quick service with a smile. Thank you Mark!”
