They let me weigh the frames to make sure they matched and use my balance board so that I could customize them to my spec. Great people great service good atmosphere excellent selection. They always have things in stock that's the key. I've been coming here for more than 20 years.

We're waiting for 15 minutes thinking someone was going to come help us but all the staff continued to help any and everyone else walking in after us. The lady clearly sees us sitting and waiting as no one is helping us and does nothing STILL. She told us to wait at first so we weren't going to rush her but 20 minutes... to look at some shoes??? We left clearly upset and get a "bye thank you" from her. Thanks for absolutely nothing.

For one who has been skating all over the south Bay since the 70s…read more I needed a tuneup on some skates let me just say that as soon as I walked into the shop, my heart was warmed at the sight of all the wheels , knowledge and history in this family owned business. My experience couldn't have been better . they took such great care of me and were very fair with their pricing . if you want to feel what Customer Service used to feel like come here and support this shop. Kevin and Betty are top-of-the-line. Long live skaters !

Later that evening (Friday) I received a phone call from a young lady, I believe her name was Betty, she explained to me that I needed more than just cleaning on the wheels and bearings, I even got a video of what was wrong and I thought that was pretty cool so I can visually see the problem. When I went to go pick up my skates I then spoke with Kevin and he mentioned he didn't want to start because I had OTHER issues going on with my skates...once he explained to me step by step what he was going to do with the option I chose, I said ok and waited for like a hour which is not bad at all and then he recommended a different plate which I plan on getting for my birthday in October, OVERALL the prices were reasonable, the WHOLE staff is wonderful, patient, communicative, incredible people who really take care of their customers, I WILL definitely recommend this place and I'll be back soon thank you all!!!!!!

Customer service doesnt exist here. Jaslene was our cashier…read more The transaction experience was awful. My husband had a little sticker shock at the register for the 26 lb weight we were buying. He took a moment because he thought it was a little less online. When he asked "and that's the total with tax?". Normally you hear back a confirmation but instead she said no with tax it's $73.62. Mind you we were at the register to pay not for a price check. My husband was looking at his phone and she blurts out "you want it or not?". We told her yes but I had to explain to her he is just taking a moment to look up the price. Normally someone at the register gives the total price when purchasing not sub total. I walked away once my husband got the receipt and was already a good ways away from the register and she yells out "Good Bye!" In the most patronizing tone. It was the cherry on top for this review. We are all human and can do better but this right here is why online shopping and self check out is putting cashiers out of jobs. Maybe she should remember that the next time she wants to be unjustifiably rude and try to make people feel less than with "you want it or not?". So if you want your intentions to be buy something rudely questioned in front of other guests than this is the place and Jaslene is your go to.

The El Segundo location of Big 5 Sporting Goods seemed to be more of a miss than hit in this visit…read more Though I arrived with almost an hour still left before closing time, the staff seemed to maybe want to already be on their way out. Several loudspeaker announcements of, "We will be closing soon," rang out, even with 45 mins left available. Many of the racks were out of order and rather disheveled. I was also saddened to find that many items were sold out in needed sizes, with only larger sized items still available. One item that I needed was a small wrist brace, but only one was available in that size with the others available in Large. I did find that the brace was good for the value, but was still put off by the state of the store. Also, the staff was chatting around the floor a lot, leaving me waiting at the register for several moments without assistance. Hopefully next time will be better.

I called down to Billiards & Barstools to see if they replaced cue tips, and sure enough they do. I spoke with Bob who said he could do it the same day. I took the journey down to South Bay, and within 15 minutes (probably less!) I had a cue with a brand new tip. Not only did he replace the tip, but filled in and sanded some cracks in the ferrule. It's the kind of good ole fashioned service you used to get in my dad's time, and that you rarely find today. Thanks again, Bob!

BIG 5 seems like an antiquated sporting goods store from yesteryear, but it's outlasted it's peer…read morecompetitors like Sports Chalet, Copeland's, Sports Authority, and so many others. All that's left is Big 5 and Dick's. REI doesn't count, as they're too niche. This location has a lot of merchandise and it's inherent problem is the aesthetics of the layout of the store. It's way too crowded and cramped for shopping and could use an expansion and makeover where it feels well-lit and spacious. It's sort of the difference between Target and Wal-Mart. I think Big 5 could use new branding as a company. It's a good store with good prices. They do "over coupon" as Bed Bath and Beyond did. You can always anticipate a $5 off of $15 type value-pac FSI mailer coupon and almost won't shop without a coupon. It's a longterm flawed business strategy. Their prices are quite good in many ways. I went shopping for shoes and they had shoes on sale for $30-40 where I went next door to DSW and most of their comparable shoes were $50-55. You'd think DSW whose only business is selling shoes, would have a competitive edge, but it doesn't and didn't, at least for active/athletic shoes compared to Big 5. I'd say check Big 5 out first or last, but don't buy any shoes until you've visited a Big 5 like this one. Parking is fairly easy in this outdoor strip mall of sort, that has a Sizzler, Harbor Freight and other businesses.
