Key to success
Arnel D.

This store is clean and organized. The staff are friendly too! If ever you need a key made or even paint, this is the place to visit when in the area. They have the keys to success and they want to make sure to never lose it as you'll see in the pic. Be back soon.

I have been going to harbor frieghts for all my tools I think for a decade now. This location only…read moreabout 3 years since I bought and renovated my rv here in El Cajon. I needed a lot of tools and I always came here or Home Depot after when harbor freights didn't have what I needed. 90% of my car engine work was done with harbor frieght tools they are cheap and reliable. I have had my tool sets for about 7 years or so and they work fine. The tool magnetic organizers for my shed work amazing. Car scanner from Maddox Amazing! The magnetic cup holder on my blackstone everything comes from here and I will always come here until I die!

On August 22, 2026, my wife made a purchase at the Harbor Freight location in El Cajon. Assistant…read moreManager Brian checked her out using my Harbor Freight credit card. Brian told her the charge did not go through. My wife showed him the Harbor Freight credit card app, which clearly showed that the charge had gone through. I then called Synchrony Bank, the company that issues the Harbor Freight credit card, while she was still at the store. The Synchrony representative confirmed directly to Brian that the charge had gone through and cleared. Despite both the app and Harbor Freight's own credit card company confirming the charge, Brian would not allow my wife to leave with the merchandise. He insisted the system showed otherwise and said he needed to charge my card again. I was obviously concerned about being charged twice. Brian assured me that the second charge would not go through and specifically told me that if there were any problems, I should contact him and he would take care of it personally. Well, the second charge went through. I was charged twice. I called the El Cajon store today to get this resolved. Brian wasn't available, so I spoke with Kevin, who identified himself as the Store Manager. Instead of honoring what his Assistant Manager had promised or trying to correct a duplicate charge created at his store, Kevin's response was essentially that there was nothing he could do and I needed to deal with my credit card company. That's unacceptable. Now, because of what Harbor Freight employees themselves described as a glitch in their system, I have to file a credit card dispute, provide documentation, do all the legwork, and potentially wait up to 60 days for the dispute process--all because their store charged my card twice after I specifically warned them that the first charge had already gone through. What makes this even more frustrating is that this is the second time I've had this happen at Harbor Freight. When it happened at the Lemon Grove location, they actually stepped up and took care of the problem. The El Cajon location, however, apparently thinks a customer should simply deal with the consequences of their system malfunction. Mistakes and computer glitches happen. What determines good customer service is how you handle the mistake afterward. Brian at least assured me he would personally handle it if the second charge posted. Kevin's response today was basically, deal with your credit card company. Harbor Freight charged my card twice. I shouldn't have to spend my time filing disputes and fighting to recover money that should never have been charged twice in the first place. Very disappointing customer service from the El Cajon location.

First things first…read more The Home Depot's insistence on promoting the company as "The Home Depot" might help their brand's stickiness, but it's also a precious and fussy bit of styling that makes me want to hate The Home Depot as much as I hate "The Ohio State University," and, if I thought about it, probably Marc Jacobs' "The Tote Bag," too. But The Home Depot has a wide selection of good and useful merchandise, so I bite my tongue and use The Home Depot as intended: for garden stuff, tools, building supplies, lights, hardware... and as I type this list I realize that every room in my house has either been repaired, decorated, or fitted out with things I bought at The Home Depot. The The Home Depot shopping experience is comfortable. The fact that it's rare to find a The Home Depot employee who can say where to find the thing I want, or how to use it when I find it, is inconsequential. The The Home Depot's website shows each item's location (aisle and bay), along with a running count of stock on hand, and God gave us YouTube for the rest. Also, showing up at The Home Depot with a shopping list helps me keep my off-budget expenses down, which is a huge benefit, since, as everyone knows, where overspending it concerned, The Home Depot is the Amazon of Costcos. On the rare occasion that I need to return something to The Home Depot, the process is always simple and painless. And I recently discovered three more things to like about The Home Depot: The Home Depot delivers, promptly, for free. Notwithstanding its name, I'm a fan of The Home Depot.

Scan it to summon an employee to assist you. It only took about two minutes for an employee to arrive. She unlocked the cage; I grabbed the trimmer and she escorted me to self-checkout. I paid and was on my way. The entire process took less than 10 minutes.
