I just wanted to shed send a shout out to Mr Santos who was wonderful tonight with grabbing our order and helping me load it into my truck! What a wonderful experience! Also Jeff at the pro desk was wonderful to work with. Thank you Lowe's for having such a wonderful team! read more

I purchased five appliances from Lowe's on September 18 for my condo renovation, with delivery scheduled for September 19. The delivery team did not give me enough time to open the door, so I rescheduled for September 20--only to be told later that the appliances were out of stock. Yesterday, I was told delivery would happen today. Once again, I waited and experienced poor communication, long waits, and little patience from the delivery team. Renovations require coordination, and these repeated delays have wasted my time and disrupted my plans. I expected reliable delivery and basic courtesy. Lowe's, please take responsibility and provide a confirmed delivery date you can actually honor. read more

Extremely disappointing customer service. I spent more than an hour on the phone waiting for someone to answer. When someone finally picked up, I was immediately placed on hold again. With Home Depot opening just a few miles away, this store is going to have some serious competition. Based on the level of customer service I experienced today, I wouldn't be surprised if customers start taking their business elsewhere. Customer service matters, and waiting over an hour just to be put back on hold is unacceptable. read more

I visited Lowe's to purchase two bathroom vanities and was told they could handle both the products and installation as a one-stop solution. Since February, I've been trying to move forward but have received little to no assistance from the team assigned to my project. I paid a $40 nonrefundable deposit, and the installation company came out to take measurements (they were lovely, by the way, but said I have to go through Lowe's for everything). Since then, despite repeated follow-ups, I have not been able to get the help I need to select the correct vanities and proceed with the installation. This should have been a straightforward project, and I'm ready to pay and move forwardbut Lowe's team has been unresponsive. At this point, I'd simply like my deposit refunded so I can take my business elsewhere. Very disappointed in the lack of communication and follow-through. read more

It's a nice store, and the staff is friendly and helpful....when you can find someone. They don't have as many employees like Home Depot. But I think the thing that kind of annoyed me was the employee who showed me where I could find something. He then proceeded to ask if he could ask me some questions, which I agreed. He started to ask me about my electricity bill and how the cost may increase more in the future. I realized where he was going and before he could continue, I said I was a renter, but he persisted. He: Do you rent from family or private? Me: Private. I never see the property owner. This shut down the questions, cause I think he wanted to try to sell me solar or some other energy efficient saving do-hickey. Luckily, the guy in the paint department created my color and said have a nice evening and sent me on my way. Again, the staff is friendly! Probably won't come back too soon. But it is a nice store and they have a lot to choose from. read more

Shopping in San Diego, California... I don't know why my cousin wanted to go to Lowe's. We have this store in Hawaii! Anyway... I walked around and enjoyed the plants. I'm thinking of getting the little anthuriums... they are so cute and hardy! I liked seeing Rudolph and Hermey in the Christmas decor display! I appreciate the clean restroom and free shared parking with IKEA and Costco! Thanks for the helpful service! read more

It is the third time my wife has had problems with their home delivery service. The item in question was delivered today and it was promised yesterday. Lowes delivery service does not communicate well.The issue has been consistently the same not communicating well and promises of delivery that have never been fulfilled on the day that was promised. Business must be good you keep ignoring the customers. We are now compelled to use your competitor. Does anyone at Lowes management care? read more

Swapped over to Lowe's over homedepot In 2020 mainly to being military friendly. Now I'm swapping back, they're customer service is subpar, refund policy's getting stricter, no more in store credit. Imagine spending 10k at a store and you ask for in store credit for a 40$ item, and they say they don't do that anymore because homeless people been abusing it. SMH. (New Homedepot at mission valley is ) read more

I purchased a major appliance with installation and removal of the existing, refrigerator. Samsung side by side with ice/water in door. Installers did not complete the job. They did not test to be certain the water dispenser was working and that the water feed was good. The water and ice aren't working apparently because the installer did not correctly install the unit. The ice machine is "on", but ice holder empty after 12 hours of operation. When trying to contact Lowes via phone for help, their poorly trained AI assistant hassles you for precise direction, even when simply asking (multiple times) to speak with customer service. After finally being told I was being transferred, I was sent to telephone pergatory, where the transferred call rang and rang....unanswered for OVER 6 minutes! I hung up and tried again, asking AI to speak to someone in appliances. Again AI "Ernestine" would not easily let me speak with a human, but again, telephone pergatory. Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring....another 5 minutes. No answers. Nothing. This was my experience. So I have to drive back to the store, just to get some help with a problem that SHOULD have been easier for them to correct. For this use. AI is not appropriate...AT ALL!!! FIX IT NOW!! read more

I left instructions for delivery driver to call me since my house was gated but they didn't and also Del to wrong address . I contacted customer service they said I would have resolution to problem in 24 hrs . Well 4 days later and many phones calls to this store and I couldn't get through to someone live I finally did and they fixed the problem . This is not helpful to not be able to get a resolution or even a call back . Thankful one of the manager finally helped me and it was sent out 5 days later . I will never order online again read more

I ordered a microwave oven and after a week of trying to call and going to the store, I finally gave up because they couldn't get an installer! Then I went to Appliance Alley, got virtually the same microwave with installation and saved $100+!and they answer the phone! Lowe's does not answer the phone! read more

I don't know what's happened to their curbside pickup, but I ordered 5 bags of soil on a Sunday afternoon, and at 10 o'clock the next day, my order still isn't ready. So I called the store and asked to talk to an associate. After being transferred, I let the phone ring 10+ times and no one answered. I don't know what's happened to their customer service? But it totally sucks now. I'm only ordering pickup from Home Depot from now on. I placed an order from Home Depot at the same time I placed this order from Lowe's and the Home Depot order was ready yesterday about an hour after I placed it. Lowes score: F read more

I like this store. Very clean, lots of great stuff, great location. It's fun to shop in. Nice staff

Come in here because I know it's better to shop here than Home Depot (at a corporation level). However it's really hard to find anyone to help you. I've tried coming in after work, or later in the evenings or on weekends. On weekends there's people working but also lots of people in need of help, and during the week it's hard to find someone. I was in there for paint one evening, there was no one at the paint counter, but once I asked for help at the front desk they did send someone over. This parking lot is a disaster as it's also Ikea and Costco. read more

When I visit a Lowe's Store, be it in Santee or San Diego in Mission Valley, it is usually to visit the Garden Center. There is plenty of handcapped parking available for customers. Today I went to buy 16 by 16 red stone stepping stones for my garden in La Mesa. I have a number of these stepping stones in my garden right now, but I wanted to add five more stepping stones. Unfortunatly, there were only a few red 16 by 16 inch stepping stones. Moreover, the few that remained on the shelves were all broken---that is why they had been rejected by other customers. However, I did find stones in another size that I bought today. There were also some very cute concrete bunny rabbits that I almost bought. They had tall ears. I have one rabbit and I thought two rabbits wouldd be great! read more

Lowe's sells products with false warranty coverage. Specifically, door manufacturer ABS/Jeldwen offered no warranty process or claim procedure, referred back to Lowe's for assistance, but Lowe's claimed Jeldwen/ABS had to support. read more

Lowe's Blows! I called ahead to confirm that my curbside order would be ready for pickup on the same day. The employee told me, "Yep, it's all picked and ready to go." Great. I told them I'd be there in 20 mins. When I arrived and called for pickup, I was told, "Oh, your order isn't picked yet. Let me get started on that - give me 10 mins" At that point, I was already annoyed that my time had been wasted. After waiting around for 30 minutes, I finally went inside to see what was going on. That's when another employee told me, "Oh, he only started picking it about 5 min ago." So not only was I given completely inaccurate information over the phone, but nobody seemed to have any idea what was actually happening with my order. I ended up canceling it altogether. This store is a joke. I'll gladly spend my money at local hardware stores, ACE, or even Home Depot before dealing with this level of incompetence again. I don't know if all Lowe's locations operate like this, but this one is terrible. read more

This location has been nothing but terrible, with poor customer service. Do not order online to pick up at this store. They will give you open and damaged products while delaying your items. They've done this multiple times and it's been a hassle returning the items. 0/10 would recommend read more

I want to commend this Lowe's for not only having a fantastic stock of hardware, garden AND clothing options, but also truly living up to its name as a community center. A few weeks ago there was a local concert at snapdragon stadium, and members of the community came out to see what they could from behind the store. Instead of kicking us off property, staff simply made sure nobody was misbehaving and allowed us all to enjoy the show. I will be returning to this Lowe's whenever i can. It is clear that this location truly wants to embrace the community it's located within. read more

I strongly recommend avoiding Lowes appliances protection plans. My service appointment was canceled after the repair window had already passed, with no notification whatsoever. Extremely poor customer service. Always buy major appliances at home depot read more

At Lowe's on a Monday at 5:00pm. 3-4 employees chatting about pay. Trying to make eye contact for over 20 minutes. Not one has offered any assistance. I'm just going to shop on Amazon. Ugh. read more

Been on the phone for 10 mins waiting for someone to pick up and it just keeps ringing. I didn't want to waste my time going down there to see if they have a Pellet grill Pit Boss Austin XL 1000 that I could look at and buy, but because I am unable to get ahold of anyone looks like they miss out on that money. Store needs to staff more people so that the customer can call and ask a quick question. I will pass on shopping at this location. read more

I sought help and never got help. I waited and no associate was seen. the disinterest was upsetting.

I don't understand why this Lowe's gets such bad reviews. My experience there was very good. We were able to find everything we needed. The people working were helpful and friendly. I felt like the prices were fair and the store was clean. read more

Sierra in Appliances is an absolute GEM!!! Not only is she super knowledgeable about brands, sizes, and product lifespans, she's also ridiculously kind and patient. I was in a total spiral. My fridge door didn't open all the way (even though my contractor said it would), and the washer/dryer I picked wasn't going to work either. It felt like a huge mess! Sierra handled everything. Returns? Done. Better product options? Found. She stayed on the phone with me for over an hour!!! walking me through choices and prices, then arranged a new pickup + delivery in one go just days later. This level of care is something I'd expect from a luxury appliance store, not a big box retailer. Honestly, LOWES, PLEASE give this woman a raise! She should be running the whole department. Because of Sierra, I'm now a full-on Lowe's loyalist. THANK YOU! Can't wait to work with her again for our next round of upgrades. read more

Thomas helped us cut some wood Saturday night. He was nice and helpful. Good guy He just started but I can tell he's going places

Love it or hate it - I think Lowe's is purposely complicated so that you'll harass their employees to find things. It's a really clever way of showing you the friendliness of their staff while irritating you at the same time. I can't find a darn thing in this store - the setup just makes no sense - but the staff is always around to make that extra effort to help those who are lost. This Lowe's eeks out an extra star due to their quality employees!! read more

Professionalism is awful. Ordered washer/dryer and shelves on 5/9 to be delivered 5/26 to a home 2 hrs. drive from where we are. Received reminder from Lowe's on 5/24 of delivery. Made the trek to accept del. At MIDNIGHT of 5/25 received an email that NEW delivery would be June 9th. No call - no apologies and have been unable to talk to anyone about this. I was able to email Lowe's cust. service but there has been no response. 6/9 - Another 2 hr. drive and fingers crossed washer and dryer delivered. Got them but same day delivery got an email that the shelves had a new delivery of 6/13. Canceled the shelves. Hoping the washer and dryer work ok. read more

I will always recommend Lowe's over Home Depot... Really Lowe's is pretty comparable in price with other stores but ultimately the cleanliness and organization and people here just make the value so much more than dollars. There is always have so much more of a selection here than anywhere else. I needed some oddball stuff in a pinch and of course everyone here is always providing excellent service, So they walked me over where to find it and just made the experience great. I was in and out of the store in about 15 minutes when I thought I'd end up walking around wandering for an hour. read more

We tried to purchase a couple of tub surrounds and the shower pans to match. Online showed in stock.

Ended up finding and buying from in store stock at Santee. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

On 12/27/2025, we purchased a new refrigerator from the Lowe's in Mission Valley. The sales persons did not inform us of any installation requirements, but sold us yet another water line for the refrigerator. The following day, the installation team arrived and stated that the water line could not run through cabinets because the company was concerned about leaks. We stated that we would assume responsibility since this has never been an issue. We offered to connect the water line ourselves under the technician's supervision and he agreed. They brought in the refrigerator, plugged it in, and put the newly purchased waterline inside the refrigerator stating that he would be right back. They went to their truck and left! I called the company, Next Final Mile Home Delivery for Lowes whereby staff stated that same policy was from Lowes. Nearly 50% of all older homes were built in San Diego prior to the 1990s; many of which probably upgraded refrigerators and simply had a waterline ran through the cabinets. If Lowes has policies in place to limit appliance installation to half of San Diego, then the sales people need to ask when homes were built; ensure that sales staff state all of Lowes' regulations for appliance installation; and offer a waiver for leaks beyond 12 inches of the refrigerator. The poor customer service, partial installation, and drop & run tactics simply ensures that we will not use Lowes again. read more

Do not use Lowe's for installation services! I purchased a kitchen appliance package online and free installation was included. I checked all the correct boxes for installation on the website and even asked my husband to review it before I placed the order because the website was not the easiest to maneuver and was vague. Example- "you may need the following items for installation." I called right after placing the order to confirm the installation, they said everything was set except the over the stove microwave was not included in the deal. It would be an additional $129 to install and it would be installed on a different day. Seems shady to have to pay for installation but ok. I agreed and moved on. The items were delivered today but they said installation was not included. I called customer service and they said they couldn't do anything, and to go to the store to resolve the issue. I went to the store and they said, no, you need to call customer service. I called again, and they repeated that the store would have to handle it. I asked how much it would cost to install a gas stove and dishwasher. He said about $700. So much for the free installation I was offered and the main reason for choosing Lowe's. They placed me on hold to call the store, but came back on the line to tell me someone from the store would call me back. I'm still waiting four hours later for a call back. I decided to use Yelp to find someone to install and they will be here within the hour and for a way better price than $700. Pricey lesson learned. Never again will I go to Lowe's. read more

I wouldn't normally write a big box store, but I've been here twice in the past week and for the most part received excellent service. I was there yesterday with 5 quarts of paint that I was trying to check out with at self check out. I managed to knock one over and paint spilled everywhere. Andre, the employee who was working self checkout, was so friendly and so helpful and did not give me even the tiniest bit of grief for making a giant mess that he now had to clean up. I was super grateful for his calm demeanor and professionalism. The one star off is from last weekend. I needed help cutting a piece of foam board. I found someone who said he would help, but that he needed a few minutes. I said that was fine. As I sat there waiting for the next 45 minutes, I had four different employees come by and asked me if I needed something since I was just standing there. I told them what I needed, but no one else was capable of helping. However, two of them did go and try to find the guy and both the times said it would just be a few more minutes. I finally gave up bought a saw and cut the board in half on my own in the parking lot. There should be more than one person in the store who is capable of cutting a piece of foam board if that one person isn't going to be available for quite a long time they should just let the customer know. But for the most part, super friendly and attentive employees. It's also a very clean and well organized store read more

I don't appreciate being surveyed and checked on whether or not I need solar and batteries and they just won't leave you alone when you say that you do already have it then I get to the other side of the store to continue my shopping and I'm approached by another guy on the other end of the store. Maybe we should put an X on ourselves that says we've already been surveyed read more
