This was THE BEST customer service today I've had in ALL the Ace hardware stores in Marin! I've lived in Marin for 23 years & have been to every Ace Hardware store in the County - and this was THE BEST customer service I've had in recent memory! Willy was great - I received outstanding service today! I called in advance to ask if someone could please help me with 2 repairs, reached him on the phone, and met him with my projects. I had 2 hoses that burst and needed repaired, which he did expertly, and then a weedwacker that needed parts and cord, he assembled them all for me, checked everything to make sure it worked properly. It was hardware service as hardware service should be! We come there to find something and fix something much of the time! Willy is friendly, a supervisor there, and although young - he really knows his stuff (learned from his grandpa we spoke of!) he is smart, bright, a good learner, and/or will look to learn up on topics to answer questions if needed. Problems solved today, yay! I spent the whole rest of the day getting everything done that I needed to after those 3 items got fixed and running again! Thank you!

A bad experience with three employees.Jackson sold me the wrong part. I found out when I looked at it after leaving the store.Called and talked to Oscar who said he was the supervisor in charge. I asked for when an employee experienced in plumbing who could help me. He gave me the names of three employees who would be in the next day at 10:30am. I got to the store and told two of them didn't work that day and one would be in at 11:00am.The store manager Scott turned out to be a j**** While helping me, he went to a help another woman customer and spent fifteen to twenty minutes helping her while I waited.This woman customer asked if I was in her way and I said, "Yes." and she said she needed to get to work, and I said I need to get to work also. And then Scott the manager who really shouldn't be raised his voice and said to me if you get confrontational with other customers, you will be kicked out of the store. That was totally out of line, and he should be fired.Scott the manager was very slow and between waiting and helping other customers while helping me, I was in the store for forty-five minutes.Scott ordered a part for me that isn't ideal, but hopefully it will work.In fact, all three of the employees I discussed above should be fired.I called and emailed a national number several times and requested to hear from a supervisor and they never got back to me. I also requested an email address for a district manager, and they forwarded my email to one of the owners of the store.The store owner apologized to me by email and told me those three employees had been talked to in order to improve customer service.I will say again all three of those employees should be fired. If you have difficulties with any employees especially these three, contact the owners.In all fairness, I will say that with simple things I have had good customer service.

I went here for the first time this weekend. 6 employees standing at the front, no one acknowledged us and we had to ask for help with paint. There were opened boxes in the aisle which made it difficult to walk in the aisles, not to mention hazardous. When checking out, the cashier did not greet us or thank us after the transaction. We overheard what appeared to be the manager have to tell the staff upfront that they have to answer the phone. Truly a poor experience and we will never go back there. Do yourself a favor, go to Pini in Novato. Their staff is excellent, will approach you to offer assistance and are just overall excellent.

Had the only mechanical pasta maker i needed near me. Worth the 30 minute drive, great service with the guy over the phone but not so much the ladies when I got there, they were too busy talking amongst themselves to even open a 2nd register with the line. Store is great though

Scott helped me quite a bit with a fence staining project. He told me about a step I hadn't considered, and then showed me what applicator might be best. Great customer service! Seems better than I've experienced in earlier years.

Went in to return a doorstopper with not only the receipt, the ace logo on the unopened package and was refused a return by two extremely rude cashiers. I think Pini Hardware is your best bet for courtesy and stellar customer service...just sayin.

We had not been to this hardware store for a while, and were tired of the big box department store. I certain you know which one - where can wonder for what seems for hours before you can get any help, and where what you want is never where it is supposed be or mislabeled.At ACE, the store personnel know where their merchandise is, and are glad to help you find it. I was particularly impressed with Jackson who was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help. I had a hose on which painters tripped and pulled the faucet fitting off an otherwise new hose. When asked for a tool to fix it, he went to the back room, and spent about a half hour to fix it, and saved me the price of a new hose.I(f you need help getting hardware, you should try them out.

Like many businesses since the pandemic, they face staffing challenges. However, they are always friendly and helpful and have an excellent return and exchange policy. We are fortunate to have a local hardware store that tries hard to do a good job.

Well organized store with helpful ( if sonetimes very young) staff. Prices typically (seem) 15% more than 'Home Despot', BUT you won't be putting the money into THAT owners pockets- and you know what kind of politics he supports! SUPPORT THE NEIGHBORHOOD...

Thank you ACE crew for being so helpful as my husband and I move into our new home! You have helped us with many milestones from picking out our first grill to finding the right hardware pieces for a number of projects. We also have found som many goodies for our garden and are enjoying our new push mower. With a nearby warehouse and same-day pickup, ACE has everything you need!
