Took it to Joey with the bear claws, he took it in back, and 5-10 minutes later he came back with the tire on the rim. I thanked him, asked how much and he said " nothing, that's what I'm here for". When I said no, I have to give you something, he said no and started walking in back. I threw some money on the counter because he saved me hours of frustration! Thank you Bear Claw Man!

I am writing this review in spite of Home Depot in Milldale. I went to buy carpet yesterday at Home…read moreDepot and waited around for 40 minutes total to be serviced in the carpet area. Turns out the carpet I wanted wasn't stocked on the roll and the saleswoman could have cared less about trying to help me find another. Today however, Lowe's satisfied my carpet needs! We were greeted, not once, but twice (go figure, right?!) by store workers, and within 1 minute of reaching the back end of the store where the giant rolls of carpet were, a kind woman named Laurie asked if I needed anything. She quickly helped me identify which carpet we needed and located a coworker to help her cut and wrap the rug. Amen! Took me less than 30 minutes to buy the carpet at Lowe's and puts to shame the 45 minute, fruitless ordeal at Home Depot down the street.

LOWE'S INSTALLER RUINED MY HARDWOOD FLOORS AND LOWE'S WON'T MAKE IT RIGHT…read more I purchased a dishwasher and installation through Lowe's. Lowe's selected and contracted the third-party installer to perform the installation. During the installation, the installer dragged the dishwasher across my hardwood floor, leaving multiple large, deep scratches. The damage was not there before the installation. When I reported it, the installer denied responsibility and claimed that I had told him the damage was already there. That is completely false. I never said that. Lowe's asked me to provide photos and professional repair estimates, which I did. I spent weeks providing everything Lowe's requested and cooperating fully with their process. After all of that, Lowe's told me they were taking the installer's word over mine and offered me only a small fraction of the documented cost to repair my floors. Even more concerning, accepting their offer required me to sign an agreement giving up my right to pursue further action and preventing me from discussing my experience. I declined. I am extremely disappointed with how Lowe's has handled this situation and their unwillingness to take responsibility for the damage that occurred during an installation they arranged and contracted.

I had the displeasure and unfortunate timing to run into Scott as the one and only person tending…read moreto the customer service desk upon my visiting this Plainville location today. I made the trip there specifically just to return a water line. Scott would not allow this claiming that once a product like this has been used (water touched it) that it counts as a biohazard and can't be put back on their shelves. Now, please take a moment if you will, dear reader, and explain to me how I'm supposed to know that a product I bought off their shelf would not work without first trying to actually use the product? This was a braided waterline with a flood defender affixed to it, and a supposed strict upgrade to the old plastic line I had prior. I bought a brand new Samsung fridge and figured that I would buy a brand new water line to go along with it. Perhaps the one I selected had a kink in it, a defective flood guard, or perhaps was just mishandled while in transport or while at the store... who knows because the entire selection of these waterlines were sprawled out everywhere along the floor of the warehouse instead of neatly in their designated spots on a shelf. Point is, I went to use the water line and it wasn't doing its job, and it was no fault of mine. Now before I tried to disconnect and return the product I gave it the benefit of doubt because I scheduled an appointment with the tech guys from the company that sold me the fridge (Costco) thinking that perhaps there was a chance that the fridge itself was the problem, maybe not pulling the water hard enough thru the line or something to this effect. But no, this was not the conclusion of the fridge service techs. They actually suggested I just try to buy a new line, and that is what I did. I went BACK to the same Lowe's I bought the first water line from and bought a different model line. And guess what happened... it works as it is supposed to! Well, sure seems to me like I was sold a defective or poor quality product initially, and based on that alone I can't for the life of me understand why I shouldn't be able to make a return. Well, despite my explaination, Scott still wouldn't process the return. Seeing how insistent he was I asked if there was someone else available that could help resolve this. I made the trip back there today solely to make this return and 28 dollars and change is not going to break my bank but I'd sure rather have my money in my account back than have a defective cable laying around my home. And the rudeness I encountered at the desk was unacceptable. This man Scott twice proclaimed that he was a manager. His name tag read "head cashier" or "head service desk" or something to that effect. Managers have the word manager written out for a reason. I have worked in a field where customer service is prioritized, and if I were to ever act so defiantly stubborn I'd expect consequences to follow. This man was the face of Lowe's customer service, a "head" representation of their values and it certainly left me in a terrible frame of mind today. I'm planning to follow up and make sure that this gets addressed, as I am very unhappy with my experience today.

Had an abysmal experience here. Completely dishonest about the repairs done and the length of time,…read morestory changed multiple times, and my rebuttals were conveniently ignored and sidestepped. I was charged fees that were not disclosed before hand, and that other locations do not charge, unless applicable to the service. Appears to be the "sketchy garage" of power tool repair. My EGO snowblower had a stuck right auger which turned out to be a single rock stuck between the auger and scoop (I did not see the black rock against the black scoop before bringing it in, but a repair man noticed it and popped it out right in front of me when I dropped it off). The rock bent one part of the auger and needed to be bent back. I could have done this myself but I've already paid the initial diagnostic fee, so I left it when the repair guy said, 'at least this won't cost you a lot since it won't be under warranty'. I figured my $50 fee was going to cover my oversight, and the 48 seconds to clamp a wrench/bend the auger an inch and put in my new shear pin which I had with the snowblower. When I picked it up I was charged for 2 new shear pins, which I didn't really mind because I'll use them at some point, but it felt a little dishonest as I had a shear pin already in the top cover, clearly visible. I disputed a $7 environmental fee and $9.95 shop supplies fee since there was no supplies used, and no hazardous material disposed of. The story behind these fees changed throughout our discussions, but apparently this is charged to everyone, regardless of the repair. Funny how the guy at the repair desk who takes payment also didn't understand why the environmental fee was included. And seeing as this was the third EGO snowblower brought in in 2 days (they told me when I dropped it off) it seems unrealistic that he wouldn't have seen this charge on every single repair item. Regardless, these fees should be disclosed before hand, especially when neither pertains to my repair. Surprised I wasn't charged an electricity fee, or oxygen fee for breathing on the property. I understand that some places charge these fees, but it still seems mighty excessive to charge a $9.95 supplies fee to a $90 bill that used no supplies. I had no issue at the time of the call with the labor charge itself of $75 as I figured it was a flat fee. It was only until them trying to justify the other fees that my labor charge was described to me as how they were doing me a favor by only charging 'a $75 labor charge because we don't normally charge under an hour labor, which is $100 per hour, and not only that but it also took more than an hour to fix'. I ask "this took over an hour?" I'm told they had to take the whole thing apart, reassemble it, remove all jammed rocks and bend the auger. When I tell the person it was actually one rock, removed in front of me at drop off, so all they did was bend the auger (and put a new shear pin in), not disassemble or reassemble anything, the story changed to "yeah that's why it was only $75 because it was such a small thing, trying to save you money when it should have been $125, but since it wasn't a warranty repair that's what he did, to, you know, make it cheaper for you". Toward the end of the end of the call, he informed me they're not even an authorized EGO repair center yet and that their paper work hasn't been approved yet. I'm awaiting a supervisor's call back from EGO pertaining to this. Run, don't walk, to a different business unless you like having your money fleeced from you. As a small business owner myself, I'm all for places making money, but I hate being lied to and taken advantage of. I will happily drive further to Ace Hardware next time I need a repair.
