So there I was one rainy Texas morning, guitar destroyed from a cross country tour that mirrored…read morethe savagery of the rain and winds blazing under those dark grey clouds. I was in deep despair, wondering if my six stringed baby would ever see the light of the stage again. I brought her into Guitar Center, hoping, praying, something could be done so I wouldnt be stuck playing my bandmates spare guitar like the night before in Austin. That dark moment playing out in front of a super skeptical audience that would make Dimebag Darrel sweat on the brow. Its Austin, you dont f-around with your guitar playing in Austin, or anywhere in Texas, really. This is a scientific fact. A universal truth. But alas, there I was, playing someone elses guitar as mine laid dead in the case. It was brutal, unforgiving, I barely survived. So yes, on that cold and wet morning, carrying the case/coffin/body bag of my beloved guitar into the Guitar Center. My head pointed downwards, staring at the rain drops hitting the pavement of the sidewalk that lead towards the doors of hope. And thats when I met Nate. The man, the myth, the legend. He immediately took one look at my guitar, picked it up, asked a couple questions, opened her up, and with the skill of a mad mad genius, surgically fixed her back to life within minutes to where she now sings and soars better than ever before. Each note a brilliant cry of joy and revival praising the Gods. My heart, my soul, my whole life was revitalized. A body-wide surge of "YEES!!' in every part of my consciousness. Nate had saved my baby, effortlessly. That day we continued through the storm into Dallas and there on the stage that rainy night, my guitar and I were reunited in a whirlwind of ecstatic ecstasy of being at one with another once again. How sweet the applause was, knowing Nate had saved my life from a performance that otherwise would have truly been "Awkward The Musical". Nate, you're a hero, genius, lifesaver, brilliant mastermind. Thank you. Guitar Center Gods, with Nate you have proved your decision of choosing only the worlds best to repair guitars, saving the lives of thousands of musicians like me. To Nate and the other employees of the store, I trust the clouds will clear soon where you all will find yourselves in a world of big open Texas skies, true and blue. Heres to it. -Christopher

I was looking for a specific electronic drum set for our family's church and this is the only…read morelocation that had it in stock. I made the 2.5 hour drive and when I started chatting with the guys, they recommended a different set that was a good alternative. It had more features and wasn't flimsy, like the set I originally wanted, plus it was on sale!When I went to check out, the sale had ended BUT staff still honored the sale as a courtesy to me. He ended up throwing in a free throne seat with the purchase of a 24 month warranty. I had the privilege of speaking with three different employees, plus the manager Mike, and the kindness and professionalism was superior! As a female who knows NOTHING about instruments, I was a little nervous going in and being sold overpriced items due to my lack of knowledge. However, I was SO wrong to be worried! Mike even found out I was scammed out of a $100 gift card and decided to honor that discount anyways. I would happily drive back to Waco from the Tyler area to purchase from these guys again! Highly recommend!

We made an afternoon of it in Waco and this Goodwill store popped up on our radar while we were…read morenavigating the way to a late lunch. This place was big and I hadn't been to a Goodwill in years. I was looking specifically for a mini-microwave proof carafe or pitcher to make microwave coffee in. They've come a long way since Nescafe. Even Starbucks has a product for home use sold at Costco that's 100% Arabica. Yum! Much of the front half of the store was clothing and shoes for the entire family. A second section held everything for the home and you just had to wade through it. The store was clean and everything was labeled. Not everything appeared to be functional which was worrisome. There was a fair amount of new product, though, in the original packaging all over the store. I got lucky. Amongst the old Mr. Coffee carafes and hotel/motel mini pots, I spotted something I'd never seen - a 4 cup glass EVENFLO infant formula measuring pitcher. I had to Google it. Circa 1950's, the infant formula EVENFLO glass pitcher was a promotional giveaway for expectant moms and is attributed to the Pyrex company, although not marked as such! I paid $5.99 and I saw online prices starting at three times that and up to $60 for one like mine in perfect condition. It is terrific for microwaving a liquid. I love using vintage kitchen tools and dishes and this one is as old as I am!! We'll age together. It was a good shopping experience. The staff was friendly and checkout was not too much of a wait. I would go back. The facility is relatively new and well cared for.

Ive heard about her getting on to multiple people during meetings in a very unprofessional way. She is always in a mood, and so unprofessional. If this is the level of mangers for this store I feel bad for goodwill and everyone who shops or works there. I've seen some of the nicest managers/employees get fired but never her. She plays favorites so if you come after her or anyway she likes you will get fired. She even has an employee she likes to call her son. Very sad. Do better goodwill.

We wanted something to do on a sunny Saturday morning, so we came to visit the local flea market. We saw a variety of trinkets, furniture, tools, homemade items, new/used clothing, tools, fresh fruits and veggies, and so much more. One call out, are the mysterious vending machines around the shops. They are very worn down, but can still vend and keep the temprature cool inside. The tiny screen on the machine displays the temprature inside. Some have water, some have different sodas in them. We paid cash and vended a diet pepsi. It tasted a bit 'off'. There was also no visible expiration date anywhere on the can. We could've inquired about it at the main office - they could tell us if they know when it's been restocked and such - but we decided to move on in our day. A flea market is a flea market; the people selling the goods were either very talkative and motivated to sell, or very quiet and waiting to help and sell. We enjoyed checking this one out and hope to be back. One man's trash is another man's treasure!

We needed an extra key fob for my son's car and decided to visit this location. The young man that…read morehelped us was very friendly and rang us up and we paid cash. After checking his stock, they didn't have the fob in stock at the location, but he could have it at the store later that afternoon. We were fine with that and decided it would work out better if I took the car the next morning to get the fob. I go in Saturday morning and a different man was able to get the fob cut and programmed and sent me on my way. Very nice and easy. Now here we go. I'm back at home prepping some food for the day and I get a phone call from Batteries +.... That's odd. I answer and it is the man that cut and programmed the fob for me this morning. He proceeds to tell me that he forgot to collect payment for the fob.... I informed him that we paid yesterday with cash. He says he doesn't show that we paid, but I'm telling him we did. He hangs up. Shortly after, I get another call from Batteries + and it's the man again and he says that they have no record of me paying and the manager checked the video and there wasn't anything on the video showing me paying. He says I need to go back and pay and if I don't, they will prosecute me for theft! Theft!! (How do you steal something that they gave me and I paid for?) I told him that they better check the video again. Now I'm searching the house for the shirts I wore the day before to see if I left the receipt in the pocket. My wife already had the shirts in the washing machine. We proceed to stop the machine and start digging trying to find the shorts I wore to see if there is some part of the receipt.... I'm steaming at this point. Angry at being accused of theft and trying to dig through wet clothes for a dumb receipt. Now we get another call from Batteries + and it's the same man. He was very remorseful and apologized saying that his manager looked at the video again and saw me paying for the fob. He initially was looking at the wrong register!! So now they have to retract the accusations placed against me. Of course, the manager was spineless and had his associate do the calling and apologizing instead of calling me himself. Not much of a leader. There were other ways they could have been checking if I paid or not before quickly calling and threatening. I guess the register had an extra $146 from the day before that they had no clue came from. I guess you can assume that I'll never go back there.
