I'm bringin' orders back (yeah) Them other stores don't know how to act (yeah)... No not bring the items back this time its too far to return and I really needed a nozzle for a sprinkler. Online pick up orders are worth it. Especially when you have a 5 hour work drive back a quick pit stop for gas, coffee and some necessary tools make it convenient to get in and out. This location is located right off the 101 freeway and it allows you easy in and out access so can get back on the road. 4/5 Customer Service (Limited Perspective) You have to stand in line for online orders as if you were in the store paying for an item. Curbside is available but they only had one spot and it looked like someone just parked there and went inside. They could use a bit more organization because when I asked for the online order under my name she looked confused. Plenty of parking except that one curbside spot. I didn't really glance around as I was trying to be as efficient with my time. But from what I could see they have a variety of tools, gardening equipment, and more. I'm sure they have quality items on hand that you'd expect to find at a hardware store. God bless read more

I came in looking for some quick disconnects for my pressure washer. I was pointed in the direction of the disconnects (isle 1) and left on my own. I did have a question on what I wanted to get but the guy in the area wanted to talk with his buddies. Not finding what I needed or think what I needed and the worker still having his awesome conversation I took off. I ended up finding what I needed on Amazon. I always prefer to buy local but when a local store doesn't care why bother? read more

Do not recommend purchasing auto key fobs from them. Mine did not have full functionality. They blamed it on the vehicle. I was finally able to get my car to the dealership and they confirmed the key was incompatible! What a waste of money. read more

Firstly, they always welcome you in with an enthusiastic "welcome". And if you're in a bit of a hurry there seems to be someone to take you right to the section you desire. However, hopefully you have time to browse because the amount of "wish I had"stuff In the house ware section is oh, so fun, unusual and great gifting items including birthday cards etc. I was doing an art project using spray paints & my project expanded when I found glitter spray paint ! No discounts unless you hit a good weekend sale which they have about once a month. read more

Best customer service in town. Dayna was not only extremely knowledgeable about this major purchase, but so considerate and very sweet. Not used to throwing down close to $1000 on a gift, but I'm confident he will truly enjoy it. She even threw in some pellets and bbq sauce for free! Thanks again Dayna read more

very stereotypical staff just because you look a certain way or don't want their help they will make you feel so uncomfortable by following you around the embarrass you in front of everybody and accuse you of stealing items 2thirds of staff in my opinion shouldn't be working there they exercise extreme prejudice when someone that "they deem " is stealing and then they call the police on you making frivolous assumptions and stand in the entrance patting each other on their hind quarters talking about good job WTF!!! then They refuse to tell you how to file a complaint or dont want to give the names of employees who are engaging in misconduct. Shop elsewhere these ppl are a joke read more

Friendly, helpful staff. They take expired coupons and have good deals. Home town, fun store.

Nice store inventory, I've found some perfect solutions & accessories for my home & garden, my only complaint is the garden area staff. They've not been helpful or friendly. Seems like we're just a pain that gets in the way of their "duties". I'm asking for plant info or suggestions, say for shade or a cactus garden. Not a huge deal but still nothing like being welcomed & feeling like employees enjoy their work. read more

Ive never been in a store with so many helpful and friendly employees. They all seem to like their job and it shows! Very impressed!

AWESOME hardware store, great stock and the employees are Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful..

Just inside the front door on the left was a large display of at least 20 or more gallon jugs of bleach. There were at least 3 signs along the edge of the display. Each one said "Bleach...$2.79 a gallon". Doesn't seem to be just a coincidence that bleach is being promoted just inside the front door during the current pandemic! I was not able to find the item I came in to get so I left. My wife was waiting in the car so I asked her if we could use the bleach for fighting cleaning up per the pandemic. She said yes so I went back in and bought a gallon. My credit card total was $3.85. I expressed my surprise to the checker woman but went ahead an put it on my credit card anyhow. Then on the way out I rechecked the price: still $2.79 compared to the $3.59 she had charged (plus 26 cents tax). I went back and told her. She went and looked at the sign. She said it was the wrong signage even though it obviously said "bleach" in large letters directly in front of a huge display of one gallon bleach bottles. I told her that was a poor way to run a business. She did not offer me a refund, merely asked if I wanted to talk to the manager. I told her it was not worth the 80 cents differential. However, it is still irritating. Eighty cents represents an almost 30% mark up over the posted price. Really appears to be price gouging on a pandemic related item which is totally illegal. If it was an error, they need to be more careful on their pricing. I didn't see her making any efforts to correct the signage for potential customers. Jim West, Santa Maria, 805-937-6917 read more

They are always so helpful. I realize im paying more than home depot but worth it. Plus they are a stihl distributor and will service equipment. Always a pleasure read more

As 'small town' hardware stores go, this one is pretty good. They have a pretty good selection of tools for almost any kind of job, as well as cleaning supplies, gardening, and household maintenance. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Parking can be problematic in THIS particular lot, due to the pass-through traffic and its size. Because of the 'Invasion of the Big Box Stores'' (Home Cheepo) both in Santa Maria and SLO, cheapskates such as myself might find many prices higher at the Miner's, and the selection may not be as varied. But for quickie 'emergencies', or lack of wanting to drive a little way, this is the perfect place. read more

This is my favorite hardware store. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Great selection of merchandise even down to yeti products. Thank you for a your hard work!!! read more

I've always had a good experience here and have shopped in this store regularly since we moved into the area a couple of years ago. Yesterday my son hit a water pipe while removing an overgrown shrub from the front yard. I don't know the names of everyone that helped me (glasses won't stay on with the mask lol) but it was 10 minutes from the time I left my car until I was getting back into it with everything I needed to fix the break and solid instruction on how to do so. You are all awesome! Thank you for being there!!! read more

I hate shopping, but Caleb saw me in the aisle and quickly came to my rescue. Made the whole thing easier. Not only were the people great, but I appreciated the affordable prices on the items i needed. read more

I am here a LOT. Always have some project going on at the house and when I don't have time for a "Depot" run (and sometimes even when I do...) I can count on super friendly and helpful staff to find what I'm looking for. Yes they have young people in the mix who might not know exactly every detail about the more arcane hardware sundries...but they are eager to help, it's nice to see young staff that is willing to work hard and learn as they go. Never jammed up at the register, they will always open a new one if the line gets too long. Ace is Aces with me. read more

I hate to do this but I have always loved shopping at Miners everyone always makes me feel awesome. The only down fall is one employee. I believe his name is Jason I can not believe that he is an employee for Miners. Today I walked in to do some shopping and look around, the plants and gift area or I like to say my living room decor. His attitude was horrible you can see it. He was snapping at other employees and being disrespectful. I decided to walk out and I will be taking my business else where. I did not feel comfortable. I feel for the employees I am sorry you have to deal with that person. read more

I had an amazing experience today. I wish I would have gotten the young woman's name. My mom's special walking cane broke & she was suffering without it. Anyhow, I asked for help & she was called to help. She met me at the isle. I had no idea how to choose an adhesive for steal & plastic. Guys, she not only helped me choose one she helped me fix it. It didn't stop there. She cleaned it to ensure it would stick well. The. She put tape on it in order to let it set properly. My mom was so happy! My mom was a single mom raised 8 kids. Today was Father's Day, so I celebrated her. You helped me give her the best gift which was some safety as she heals from reconstructive knee surgery. Thank you for your kindness may it return to you 10 fold read more

Such a different experience, than Home Depot. They are always around to answer any questions and help you out. They go above and beyond for their customers. I'd rather spend the extra couple of dollars and support this store over Home Depot. read more

I love hardware stores. But this one is one of the best. Every one is friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help

Prices are similar to home depot however customer service is much better. This is a great location plus my munchkin e joys the complimentary popcorn read more

Amazing humans here! My parents left their window screen here for repair before the "Shelter in Place" directive. They received a call today saying it was ready and the manager, Richard offered to deliver it to their porch and not worry about payment until they were comfortable leaving the house again. Times are tough for everyone, but people like this are why there is hope for a better tomorrow. read more

The nice folks at Nipomo helped me get the materials I needed today even though I needed to stay away from crowds. I am at risk for the covid19. They actually came out to my car and brought my materials. Thank you so much. Can't get better service than that. read more

Customer service is First Rate! We purchased a natural gas grill and couldn't be more pleased with our installer, Anthony. He delivered over and above in Customer Care ranking! There was a problem with the gas line connection (from our home to the grill's gas line) and he persisted to get it operational. That took a couple of trips (by Anthony) to provide the fitting to our gas line receptor. He was determined to satisfy our needs and assisted in making sure we were 100% satisfied with our purchase. Anthony really earned our confidence, and Miner's should realize his efforts. We usually shop Miner's first (we live in Nipomo) but when their prices are comparable to the big hardware stores, we try to buy there, from our local "go to" store. Thank you. read more

A little more condensed than the SLO location (this miners is in a shopping center on the main Nipomo shopping intersection), products are easy to find and help on the sales floor is always easy to find. I was asked if I needed help, to which I declined. However, I changed my mind in the next aisle and I was able to find within seconds the lady who had just offered me her help and she was front and center to help me. The quality of their plants is ASTOUNDING, and since this location is smaller, it is easier to navigate your way around the nursery without feeling overwhelmed. And since the employee was chit chatting with her vendor as I wandered, she did tell me to let her know if I needed help and she left me alone. That may not be appreciated by some, but it is to me. I don't like being hounded or pestered when I shop. The stars would be five if the checkout wasn't so oddly situated. I felt like I was in a mouse maze at the checkout. (And ADDED BONUS: I found single stalks of "lucky bamboo" for $1.59! This is unheard of elsewhere! Normally, for something half the quality in a fancy pot with a few rocks will usually run you ten bucks, and I don't need the rocks or the pot, just the plant, as I have my own creativity for them) read more

Awesome hardware store in Nipomo! I was trying to fix a leak in a under-counter water filter and nothing worked until I checked in with Jason and his crew. He really knows his stuff and came up with the right combination to stop the leak for good. Thank you! read more

I love Miner's. I really love the fact I can go in there and get help from someone and not made to feel stupid because I am a women. They always listen to me and help me figure out what is the best thing I need. And a lot of times they will give me helpful advice on what ever it is I am doing. read more

their return policy on plants is: ALL SALES FINAL. No Bueno. read more

Fabulous hometown hardware center. The staff are very knowledgeable and beyond friendly- they greet you at the door and offer assistance! Ive made Ace my home away from home lately-they have come to know me and my family by name :) Id refer them hands down without a doubt. read more

Went into the store to purchase two bathroom faucets. After reviewing a couple different models with one of there reps we chose a model that was listed at $69.99. When going to checkout they came up at $99.99. I talked to the rep that helped me to see if they will honor the price listed. He said to talk to the manager. After talking with a manager we agreed to a price on the faucets. Right when I was about to pay another manager runs up to me and puts the wrong model faucet right in my face and says, there's no tag on it, insinuating that I was lying about the price after two other reps verified the $69.99 price. Then he said that I read it wrong, that the 6 was actually a 9, again insinuating that I either can't read or see. Not sure why this manager was so bent to prove me wrong in front of everyone after already working with another manager and employees. He should be ashamed from himself for treating Customers like that, especially for a person at his position. read more

It's nice to have a hardware store in town with such knowledgeable and helpful people. They always have time to answer a question or give helpful advice and I should know because I'm in there at least once a week! read more

I'm new to Yelp but Miner's Ace Hardware in Nipomo has been a friend of mine ever since they opened. They're close, which is a good start, but then they have the one-two punch of having a staff that knows what it's talking about, and somehow they always seem to have exactly what I need. I just spoke with them about a fill valve I need for one of our toilets. I had to search the internet to figure out what everything inside the toilet is called, but once I identified the needed part I called, was put in touch with a young lady who knows her plumbing, and she instantly knew what sort of fill valve I needed and has one waiting on her desk for my wife to pick up. If that ain't service--I don't know what is. read more

The staff are so friendly and they always help me find what I'm looking for. I find the prices fair, some things are higher than average, but for the only place around to have the items, it's understandable. read more

My husband is constantly working on or building something. So he is here a lot! Friendly hometown service and always with a smile. They usually have whatever it is that he is looking for from the smallest of things to lumber it can be found here. read more

I love that this place exists in my 'hood. Sales people know their store and their merchandise. And, they're friendly too. It definitely has that small town feel. read more

Best hardware store in Nipomo. But seriously the staff there has always been very helpful and I couldn't be happier. I haven't found a job too big or too small that they couldn't help me with. I keeps me from having to go to terribly non-customer friendly stores like Lowe's or Home Depot. read more

OK. Full Disclosure; I'm in this store several times/week and know staff by name and they know us. The reason I go back to this store is the quality of the employees, both in their knowledge of product and helpful, courteous service. The women in the plant dept. are great at helping find the right item for anything we need, whether it's plant food, the right plant or diagnosing problems with the plants we have. The hardware selection is great, much better than the local big box stores, and there are people here who know how to use/install/repair anything we buy. Lumber is a better grade than Big Box and generally the same price or less expensive. The paint counter is fast, helpful and friendly and know their stuff. There are some things you cannot find at Miners that you can find at Big Box but they will order them and I always go to Miners before anywhere else to find a specialty item or talk about ways of engineering a fix for something. Fun place to visit, great place to find just the right hardware item and helpful, friendly staff; no wonder I am a regular. read more

I would consider myself barbecue challenged. This evening I was preparing supper and it required a charcoal barbecue. I have always LOVED Ace in Nipomo because of their awesome staff, but today they went up ten tiers in my book. Amelio and Vincent not only helped me find a grill that suited my needs, but helped me find everything else I needed to not destroy dinner for my family (which charcoal would be best, how to start it, etc.). This Ace is exceptional not because of its products, not because of its prices, but because of its wonderful staff and their dedication to helping customers. God Bless. read more
