For as long as I can remember, even prior to moving to the central coast, Lowe's has been my go to…read morehome store, usually having items I need for a home project. Recently, I've had a few above average experiences, where store employees have help load my truck with pavers and concrete border, which was great customer service, but it's the exception. Wandering aisles looking for help can get frustrating, needing help in plumbing and ending up in electrical because there is no one around has caused me to leave the store more than once. Rarely will I visit Lowe's without knowing what I need and where it is, the mobile app has come in handy. Again, that's a lack of customer service, if I have to turn to my app for help. Returns have been very easy, which is nice, using my Lowe's Reward, especially if I no longer have the receipt. Self checkout is hit and miss, if there is an item that doesn't have a SKU and they need to look it up. Even if I present them with a picture of the item and stock number, they still feel the need to look it up. Policy? Maybe but my time is valuable. Overall, if you don't need sale help, the big box store is average. Go in knowing what you need and it's a good experience. Don't go in expecting knowledgable, readily available sales associates.

This is not a warehouse-like setup. * Some names not too familiar with. Power tools: Bauer (Hockey equip?), Hercules appear to be their big products. hmmm. Handtools much of the same. * Toolboxes/chests are US General, and Bauer again. Look decent. In summary, I'm not sure why they exist. Prices are reasonable. But quality, I'm not sure if it compares. Also, inventory pales in comparison to a big box chain, and although it's quick like an Ace, it's doesn't have a hometown feel.

Yes, it was 4:30 and they close at 5pm and it was clear from the moment I arrived they were not happy to see a customer walk in. First employee asked if I called. I said no.

I asked why and answer was they "could not take it in". No other explanation. I confirmed with rental yard that they do repair carpet cleaners. Guess they were just not feeling it.
