I don't remember his name but he was really helpful. I showed him the parts I needed and he came through. He walked me to the areas I needed and pulled the items off the shelf for me. Everything fit perfectly. I bought the parts I needed online. Everything was wrong. This is why we need a physical store with actual employees that know what they're doing. Not only were the parts wrong they were double the cost. I spent $12 for my parts at mission. Versus $25 online. At the end at check our guess what??? They had WORLDS FINEST CHOCOLATE. Yes the ones that they sell at school fundraisers. Omgggg so the off time that you can't get your fix, you can come here!!! I bought 6 bars

I explained & he said "we don't sell Craftsman, go to Home Depot!" . Never mind that I bought the set at ACE, perhaps something changed or this particular store doesn't have or doesn't like to honor warranties, or the attendants just don't appreciate their jobs or customers. I called Lowe's Covina & Edgar in Tools said "craftsman are guaranteed for life, bring it in & we'll swap it...but please give me the size & I'll make sure we have it in stock". 25 minutes later I walked out of Lowe's with a brand new replacement wrench. We're told to buy local and that ACE has better service than "big box stores". Unfortunately that is not true. I wish Max's Hardware only the best, but I will NEVER return to this store and will cancel my ACE discount/rewards card membership.

Leaving my review based solely on the horrid customer service. My family ordered a custom piece of…read moreglass, which ended up being four inches too short. I knew it was nonrefundable, but I politely called on behalf of my family to figure out where the miscommunication happened. The girls who picked up the phone were very nice and understanding. This review is not about them. They asked me to call back the next day to speak to the owner. Like I said, I was very polite, I wasn't mad, I just wanted to understand what happened. I figured it was possible that the mistake was on the shop's end and thought they would make amends for it if that was the case. I was not expecting a free new piece of glass or a refund. I just wanted to know what happened. After explaining the situation, the first words out of the owner's mouth were, "Listen carefully because I'm only going to say this one time..." He proceeded to scold me and insult my family for, according to him, providing him the wrong measurements. Then he repeated over and over that the order was nonrefundable. I said, I understand that. I just want to know what measurements were jotted down and whether there is a discrepancy between that and the actual numbers. He lost his mind. I knew it was a lost cause, so I just hung up. My family was considering reordering for the correct size, but his approach was absolutely horrible. Given the rest of the reviews, it seems like this is a common occurrence. To hell with this company.

Great service, low prices, excellent hardware selection…read more The staff at Altadena Hardware are friendly, helpful, and much more knowledgeable than big box stores. They will ask you about the project you're doing, and help find the right products and materials to fit the application of your work. Need to attach something to something else? They will guide you through the a-la-carte screws, nails, nuts, and bolts with expertness, making sure that the style, strength, and size of the hardware fits your project's needs. The prices for most items are competitive with big box stores-- items like PVC pipe, wood filler, and hardware are cheaper at Altadena Hardware in a side-by-side comparison to big box stores. If you purchase materials like wood or pipe, they can cut it for you for transport! The selection of paint, hardware, garden supplies, light bulbs, power tools, adhesives, and most other typical household hardware needs are excellent. Based on size, they don't stock as much lumber or appliances as big box stores. Very helpful -- they do cartridge exchange for Soda Stream!! And have many options of Soda Stream flavorings. They also sell local honey up at the cash register! Altadena Hardware is my first choice for hardware needs!
