I've never written a Yelp review before. I never even had an account until today, but the…read moreinteraction I had with Don at Hub City Music was so negative that I felt the need to warn other potential customers. The second I walked into the store, Don started harassing me for wearing a face mask. He ranted at me about how ineffective they are, said I must be a Democrat, accused me of wanting to rob him, and called me a "masked bandito" several times. Real classy. He also said I "must not be from around here" and asked where I'm from. I'm Black. When an elderly white man in a small town asks me where I'm from, I know what he's really saying. When I told him that I live in Centralia, he reacted with disbelief. Weird and extremely racist behavior, and from reading other reviews, it seems I'm not the only Black person who's had this experience. I just wanted to find a decently priced acoustic guitar and maybe inquire about lessons, but I didn't even get to browse the store's selection because Don started on his interrogation of me immediately and did not let up until I left. I guess he really wanted me to spend my money elsewhere. I've lived in Centralia for a minute now, and I've been to all sorts of local shops here and in Chehalis. This is the first time I've had a negative interaction with any shopkeeper, so I'm confident this one place isn't representative of the entire community. Dickhead Don isn't who we are, he doesn't share our values, and he doesn't speak for us.

My experience here was nothing short of magical!! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves music!read more

I just acquired a 2019 Corolla and it needed a little help. I work as a mechanic and I was pretty…read moresure I could do the job of adding a stereo but, opted to use these guys as I was unsure of the module programming that might be involved. I had shopped a few of their competitors before I walked in and they were significantly less than the competition. then it came out that the competition was going right for top tier equipment just because they'd make money. they made a recommendation that would cure my major issues. the rear speakers blew in the car (apparently JBL factory sound has this problem pretty frequently). I replaced them and the sound from them was just painfully bright. I wanted wireless Apple CarPlay as I was considering it a safety feature. in other words, one less reason for a phone to be touched in the car. anyhow, both problems could be solved with a head unit swap. initially, I was pretty unhappy with what I ended up with. the factory microphone was NOT retained, the fader was INOP and the display didn't dim with the headlights. I expressed my displeasure at this and then it came out. the adapter (car interface) was not doing the job it was supposed to do. the "right" module took a call to the manufacturer to find because of the year make and model of the car. once the right parts were found, I returned, dropped the car off and waited to be called. this worked out pretty incredibly. he refunded me for the parts that didn't do the job well and charged me the difference for the better module. no extra labor. so again, I would highly recommend this business. they've been around for at least 10 years that I'm aware of. great service from good people.

What a wonderful little surprise it was when I stopped inside Book 'N' Brush! Honestly, I had…read morewalked past this shop many times in my wanderings around downtown Chehalis, but I had not yet stopped in. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw what I had been missing all this time!! Truthfully, I thought it was more of a craft store than a book store; but I was completely wrong. There are many, many shelves and aisles of books - much more than I thought there would be. Both "parts" of the store, the books and the craft, are plentiful. Book 'N' Brush have a great selection of all genres of books - adults, teens, kids - and it's already great to have these selections in a local store. Physical space side of things - the aisles are wide, the shelves are deep, book covers are displayed, top sellers are spotlighted - everything is easy to see and the store is easy to navigate. The staff was very friendly with me. Checking in when I walked in and then let me wander and look around without being pushy or making me feel like they were hovering over me. Perfect!! All in all, I was very impressed with Book 'N' Brush and will certainly be back. I love book stores, I love local book stores even more, and this is a great one!

My favorite area is where all the Bibles are. My SIL wanted a New Living Translation with big lettering. Not only did she find one with a giant font, but she found one that was super giant font and it was the same size as a regular Bible. I got a Bible cover with a handle on the spine so you can easily protect and carry your Bible into church. What a fun place to shop!

The techs sent to our home were organized and efficient as well as being highly knowledgeable and professional. My last interaction with Desco was several days ago. I was calling Desco to sort out a technical issue which was beyond my expertise. I was fortunate that Dick Tappenden answered the phone. In a matter of minutes Dick was able to sort out the issue (sight unseen!) thereby restoring the audio and video connections to the large screen Sony television we had purchased from Desco several years earlier. I highly recommend Desco for your A/V needs.
