Everytime I walk in I'm never greeted, I feel like I'm a burden when I ask for help, 3 or more employees are always gathered at the front like a high school lunch table laughing and horseplay around. It's always one employee who has a great attitude, i found out today her name is Lila. Shes always helpful, and she always looks busy. I'm not sure if she's the manager or floor employee but she's great. I give her 10 stars and the store 2.

**Avoid this Ace Hardware location.**…read more On Oct 17, 2025, I tried to return a defective item, but the manager, Andrew (the bald guy mentioned in other bad reviews), refused because the package was opened. When I explained that you have to open it to see it's defective, he just said, "I don't know, buddy, that's the policy," in a rude, dismissive tone. His attitude was unprofessional, and several employees just stood by watching instead of helping. It's not about the $3.59--it's about the lack of respect and poor customer service. Save yourself the frustration and take your business elsewhere.

So what's the point? Why pay convenience store prices for things that you can get for way cheaper online or at the giant orange box store? Over $7 to cut a damn key?! And I brought the key blank!!! Come on. You're not even trying to be fair. I wanted to support a local small business but this place is truly not worth the sky high prices for these things. This store isn't worth it unless you're truly desperate to have what you need. Otherwise steer clear their prices are a joke.

I'd rather go to Southbay hardware on Artesia, where they are friendly and they have no issues with you returning an item. This guy is a complete jerk and should not be anywhere near anything that has to do with customer service.

I wouldn't rate them below three stars, feels unconscionable, so that's where this lands for me…read more The main factor is pricing. Items here run noticeably higher compared to larger, non-mom-and-pop hardware stores, which makes it harder to shop here regularly. Keys were $7 each, and I accidentally grabbed a key ring I thought was $6, but it had been placed on the wrong hook and rang up as $13. A few areas of the store could use better organization and upkeep. Items were hung in the wrong place or can't easily tell pricing. I came in just to make keys and ended up spending $30. That said, the store staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated.

Yelp review -- 0 star Title: Open on a holiday, but terrible…read morecustomer service and a threatening confrontation I stopped into South Bay Industrial Hardware today (Nov 11, 2025) because they were open on the holiday and I needed a can of Fix-A-Flat. The owner, John, completed the sale but the can I bought had a leak at the top of the hose -- something I've used before and never had an issue with. I explained that the tube looked tightly packed and might have been damaged in packaging, and asked to exchange it. Instead of listening, John stared at the can suspiciously and acted as if I was being dishonest. He reluctantly let me exchange it but warned that if the replacement didn't work I wouldn't receive a refund. He grew rude and condescending during the interaction, which was upsetting. After I left the register I said, while still in the store, "Thanks for not trusting me." He laughed. I regret that I used a bad word once I was outside. What followed was alarming: he came running out of the store and tried to grab the exchanged can out of my hands. He threatened to call the police and -- while I was recording from about nine feet away -- said into the phone, "she's right next to my face." At one point he would not state what he thought my ethnicity was, which felt explicitly hostile and discriminatory. I have video of the incident and plan to preserve it and report what happened. I'm sharing this to warn others about the poor, confrontational customer service and the intimidating behavior I experienced. I will not recommend this business based on how I was treated today.
