I asked the person at the desk at ACE for a Craftsman garage door opener as my contractor had sent me to get one. She didn't know what that was, so she called an older man who brought me some other type of garage door opener. I asked if it was ok? My contractor had said Craftsman. He was patronizing and said I didn't know what I was talking about so I should buy it.
When I brought it to the contractor he said because it was not compatable he would have to re-wire the garage where the switch was and there would be sheetrock repair and paint and it would be $350 extra. I paid the contractor to go to Sears (I didn't know but that is where I should have gone). And got one.
The people at the Windsor store tend to be rude. I have had several keys cut there that didn't work, so I would not go there for that.
IF YOU ARE A WOMAN DON'T GO THERE! THEY WILL TREAT YOU LIKE A CHILD!
When I went to return the garage door opener I was treated like a theif (I'm a realtor and have been for 18 years).
I brought a broken hose for a washing machine and asked for another one. Again a man was called out, but the hose didn't look anything like the one I brougth in. He was rude and said that it was because I don't know about it (I manage 23 rentals and have soldr 300 homes and know what a washing machine hose looks like.
Again he insisted that he was right and walked away (very rude!) I installed the hose, but it was bent so bad in three places and not a flexable hose. I tried to staighten it with a plumbers wrench, rubber mallet and just by hand and it worked a little. I ran the washing machine and it would not drain. I again tried to straigten the hose. No luck and a washer full of wet blankets.
I called the manager and explained that I had asked for another type. Was assured that this was right by his staff. He told me to uninstall it and bring it back. I live about 2 miles from the store. It's December 23rd and I have work, family etc. I asked if he could have someone bring me one. He had an attitude that I was being unreasonable. I suggested that he bring one on Friday after the holidays and I would just not have a washer. He refused.
Healdsburg is a good ACE, it has a good staff who smile, not sneer, and will tell you if they don't have a product.
