I hadn't seen Rob in years, but I had an emergency today--a 14-foot by 30-inch banner needed…read moreovernight for a 7 a.m. event. Rob answered my call, remembered me immediately, and said he could do it. I drove over to his new location and he printed it in under 25 minutes! His prices are unbeatable--he only charged $10, while FastSigns quoted over $500. Years ago, he helped me print a different banner, showed me how to install the grommets, and gave me a grommet kit--six years later, I still remember how to do it! Rob is a wealth of knowledge, and his makerspace is all about helping people learn, create, and even having a platform and commuity support to start making money. If you've ever wanted to learn how to 3D print, use a laser engraver, CNC router, drill press, bandsaw, vinyl printer cutter, or any of his amazing machines--this is the place to join. Sign up for a membership, explore workshops, complete projects, and empower yourself. Whether it's for a banner, group, or business, check it out--you'll love the opportunities here!

Writing this review using my wife's account. UMAKERS is a great place for artists, makers, or…read moreanyone looking to have access to CNC, lasers, plotters / printers and 3D printing. The members I met were all super knowledgeable and wonderful people. Rob the founder is so generous with his time and overall this is a fantastic resource and maker community for SoCal. I live in Los Angeles and made the trek several days to put in some time on his CNC machine for 3D routing foam for a sculpture I'm making. It worked out great and Rob and the community at UMAKERS are all so helpful and generous with their time. There is no other place besides Orange County that gives access to as large of a CNC, large format laser cutters and an army of resin and 3D printers. This is a solid FabLab experience in SoCal. I would not hesitate to come back. Full time membership dues are very reasonable for what the Makerspace offers.

I love this place! Very helpful place, lots of people with a variety of technical skills.read more

It's been a really long time since I've been here. Think of when KonoSuba was still airing and I…read morewent here to help a friend out with his Megumin staff prop. This is a nonprofit and it's located on Valley tucked away between the industrial looking businesses storefront. Near Sugar Rush Cafe (my beloved). You can pay for a membership if you are going to be a frequent visitor and use their lab or you can just pay a nominal fee for entry (I think we paid $6, it's been quite some time). I'm more used to Maker Space's since that's what I've used before at college campuses, but this is definitely a more technical space. There's people fixing cars, welding, casting metal, 3D printing and much more. We were there probably to only sand/saw wood and do some spray painting in a hood. I'm a goblin that can do this in a public park but my friend wanted a more controlled environment. They also support the community too and have community events, workshops, board game nights, and much more. Pretty neat to have this in our area!

Worst service. I emailed them, their site said 24 hours time, its been two days and haven't gotten…read morea response. This happened not once but twice. A few months ago i had emailed them the first time about a quote, they had their partner company email me and it wasn't like a few hours wait time for a reply, every time i emailed them i would have to wait 3-4 days tops for a RESPONSE. At one point they just stopped replying to me?? I'm never requesting service here again.

The first 3-D printer I ever saw up close, was a Deezmaker "Bukito." I was intrigued because it was…read moretiny, nearly silent, and created precise parts in virtually any shape. A few months later, after researching many printer designs and different brands, I ended up purchasing the big brother, of the Bukito, called the "Bukobot." Since all of this was new to me I thought excellent technical support was critical. Deezmaker is open seven days a week, and you can reach them by email, or by phone, or if you're in the area, in person. Every time I've needed help with something, I've gotten immediate assistance. Best of all, everyone there is not only knowledgeable, but friendly, with none of the attitude that sometimes crops up when you're a beginner asking an expert for help. I've been to the store a dozen times, whenever possible I go to their monthly Meetup, and again and again I've seen a willingness to answer even the most naïve questions. This morning I discovered that a part on my 16-month-old, heavily used printer, had cracked. I drove out to Pasadena, hoping they would have a replacement in stock. Not only did they have it, but they encouraged me to do the work myself while I was there, and provided helpful suggestions, and even let me use their tools to make the repair. If you have any interest in 3-D printing, or simply want to understand something about the mysteries of it, stop by their shop. You will feel truly welcomed, and if you want to delve deeper, I strongly recommend the class they offer, called, "Zero to Plastic," which is a very thorough and well presented introduction to 3-D printing. I've had a lot of fun with my Bukobot, and it has turned into an essential tool in my design studio.

I had a refrigerator break down and went on the Athens website to request a bulk item pick up and received confirmation of approval the following day. My refrigerator was picked up early the next morning and I couldn't be happier. A+++++ for easy and quick website and services. Also, a shout out to all of the employees that I have encountered so far...always smiling and ready to help.

The City of Whittier changed to Athens from Republic in November of last year. A woman from Athens…read morecame to the City Council meeting and gave the presentation about how professional Athens was and that the transition would be seamless. She lied. Athens sent a bill for 3 months even though Republic was still servicing the City of Whittier for one of those months so they were double billing customers. The bill had the incorrect number of trash barrels even though Republic had the correct information and the clerks at Athens were supposed to input that information into their system. They sent out endless text messages with incorrect information. They delivered the wrong number of trash barrels. I had 10 trash cans at my house and could not get anyone to figure out how to get the correct number...1 black, 1 blue and 2 green It has been endless phone calls with workers who have no idea how to solve billing problems or pick up barrels. Terrible Customer Service. They are all rude and are working from their bedroom or in the checkout line at Costco. I actually heard, "Costco card please" on one call. It is April and I still do not have even ONE correct bill. If your city is considering Athens..do not let them do it. It will be a nightmare of rude employees that get paid to do nothing. You will never get a correct bill. Their answer is always, "Just pay it and we will sort it out later." Seriously. How does a company like this even stay in business?

Pricing was very reasonable compared to anything else I found and I ordered multiple 6ft by 4ft mirrors. They told me they would try to get me installed sooner rather than later and within 24 hours a team showed up. The crew did an excellent job getting everything leveled, mounted, and cleaned so the mirrors looked perfect. My home gym now feels like a professional setup and I'll definitely be calling them again if I move or add more mirrors. Highly recommend this company.
