PRINCESS AUTO! lol! No car parts here and barely any accessories! More like a Lee Valley Tools. This company is Canadian which is cool and more stores are currently being built. Staff were friendly. Dog treats up front! The store was crammed full of stuff. Nothing fancy. Kind of surplus store meets Canadian Tire. Perfect for the Mr Fix It type guy.

I've got to pipe up! I love it that Princess Auto has opened up shop in the true west end of…read moreOttawa! If you are familiar with the brand, Princess Auto sells all kinds of car maintenance products, and shelving and other items to outfit your garage to do the repairs and maintenance required. They have things to fix your car: wheels and tires (after all, it's winter now... are your snow tires on?); doodads to check the pressure of your tires; trailer hitches; and all and sundry for the DIY car enthusiast. So why do *I* like it when I don't know the right side of a wrench? Because they are Canadian owned and operated, and they sell work gloves and those heating things to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter. I go there maybe every 3-4 months to check out what is on display. It's different than a hardware store, but also good and useful.

If you can't find it here, try the one in Carleton Place. It's not as far as you'd think, from here - maybe 20 minutes. But if you're doing a big project, they most likely have what you need.

Since moving to the area I have come to rely on MacPherson's for all my HVAC needs. When you live…read morein the country those needs are many and varied. Back in February when we moved in our Propane gas fireplace was not working so Kevin came out and cleaned it, fixed it and installed a thermostat for us. Works like a charm now. Then later that month we arrived home and we had no water. Kevin came out right away and arrived within an hour. Turned out the submersible pump in the well was kaput so he and his helper worked diligently to get that up and running. In the summer we have a pump to bring river water up to irrigate our grass and garden and we needed a new pump there too so last week Kevin came up and sorted that out, installed a new pump and fixtures and once again we are in business. We are considering a bathroom reno so we invited Kevin in to take a look and give us recommendations. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and offered us many insightful suggestions to cover our needs. He also suggested ways we can save money, always dear to my heart. They are definitely getting that job when it comes up. I highly recommend this locally owned family business.
