He gives the impression that you're bothering him. After I qualified myself worthy of a repair (bought the generator from him) he instructed me to pull around to the side of the buidling to the shop. If I had known he was going to meet me there and direct my backup I would have rolled the windows down so I could hear him. He was not in a good position to see him in the door mirror. I was judging for myself and stopped backing up when I heard the screaming. Now, between the snotty unwelcoming greeting ànd this screaming to stop my Van, I decided to give it back. He loved it. It wouldn't have taking much for this screaming match to turn physical. I don't know why he was so adamant about stopping me because when I got out I wasn't even close to anything. There was nothing to hit! I decided to ask who he was and he was the owner. (No wonder) any employee would have been fired. Anyway, things calmed down long enough for him to check the oil in the generator. It was too low. He said I need a new generator. He could be right however I will get a second opinion. There's got to be an easier way to do these things. Oh, I know, I'm not going back to Jackson Hardware. You're just not a happy person. You might not want it but I forgive you. Glenn

Certainly not here to bash anyone but thought Id pass along my personal experience After reading…read moreothers. Moved down to the area almost 10 years ago and asked around for a reputable small engine repair shop to address an older Echo HCA 2400 Articulating hedge trimmer that i couldnt get running right after replacing the trimmer blades. I know this is an older unit as i personally bought and used it in a service business. Anyway, i replaced the blades and commenced to using it around my home. I did give it ur standard maintenance tune up along with changing the worn blades, plug, air filter, fuel filter. Used it for about 6 hrs around the homestead and couldnt get the high and low set right so thought Id give these guys a try. I knew I was in for it when the first words after setting it on the counter were "it looks like ya need a new one". Told the owner i just put some new blades on it and i cant get it to run "right" but just used it on and off for about 5-6 hrs so it does indeed run and good enough to trim . A day and a half later I get a call it needs to be replaced so i drive over and pick it up. I order an 85.00 OEM Echo carburetor and install it. That was 2 years ago and it still runs like a champ. Dropping 85.00 was welcomed after seeing the 600.00 replacement cost. Oh well

I wasn't expecting them to have the piece due to the specific (possibly custom) nature of it.

My shelf now stands and I highly recommend Taylor Hardware.

Open Sundays even through the winter - can cut keys and have all kinds of cute beach supplies. As I said most importantly you can find what ever you need for your home repair needs. Parking is easy as there's a huge lot right behind the hardware store. I did not manage to get a picture of the front of the store but it is an ancient Victorian building and it's gorgeous and well-maintained. Highly recommended when you need something on the fly and don't want to make the long trip to a larger store. I am a huge fan of local business and using them for whatever needs applicable. I write them five stars because of their massive inventory for such a small store and the outstanding service!
