So what's the point? Why pay convenience store prices for things that you can get for way cheaper online or at the giant orange box store? Over $7 to cut a damn key?! And I brought the key blank!!! Come on. You're not even trying to be fair. I wanted to support a local small business but this place is truly not worth the sky high prices for these things. This store isn't worth it unless you're truly desperate to have what you need. Otherwise steer clear their prices are a joke.

I wouldn't rate them below three stars, feels unconscionable, so that's where this lands for me…read more The main factor is pricing. Items here run noticeably higher compared to larger, non-mom-and-pop hardware stores, which makes it harder to shop here regularly. Keys were $7 each, and I accidentally grabbed a key ring I thought was $6, but it had been placed on the wrong hook and rang up as $13. A few areas of the store could use better organization and upkeep. Items were hung in the wrong place or can't easily tell pricing. I came in just to make keys and ended up spending $30. That said, the store staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated.

When I explained that you have to open it to see it's defective, he just said, "I don't know, buddy, that's the policy," in a rude, dismissive tone. His attitude was unprofessional, and several employees just stood by watching instead of helping. It's not about the $3.59--it's about the lack of respect and poor customer service. Save yourself the frustration and take your business elsewhere.

Yelp review -- 0 star Title: Open on a holiday, but terrible…read morecustomer service and a threatening confrontation I stopped into South Bay Industrial Hardware today (Nov 11, 2025) because they were open on the holiday and I needed a can of Fix-A-Flat. The owner, John, completed the sale but the can I bought had a leak at the top of the hose -- something I've used before and never had an issue with. I explained that the tube looked tightly packed and might have been damaged in packaging, and asked to exchange it. Instead of listening, John stared at the can suspiciously and acted as if I was being dishonest. He reluctantly let me exchange it but warned that if the replacement didn't work I wouldn't receive a refund. He grew rude and condescending during the interaction, which was upsetting. After I left the register I said, while still in the store, "Thanks for not trusting me." He laughed. I regret that I used a bad word once I was outside. What followed was alarming: he came running out of the store and tried to grab the exchanged can out of my hands. He threatened to call the police and -- while I was recording from about nine feet away -- said into the phone, "she's right next to my face." At one point he would not state what he thought my ethnicity was, which felt explicitly hostile and discriminatory. I have video of the incident and plan to preserve it and report what happened. I'm sharing this to warn others about the poor, confrontational customer service and the intimidating behavior I experienced. I will not recommend this business based on how I was treated today.

I'm not an expert with stoves or any of the installation requirements so it was a welcome assist. I'm not a shopper, clarification: I'm not an in person shopper, I much prefer the online experience. That experience does require a certain amount of knowledge or research to make sure you get what you need...especially if you want to avoid re-stock fees, etc. I don't mind a little extra work if it means I can avoid making a visit. Of course, not visiting means I missed a chance to peruse the garden center, but it's a small sacrifice. Plus, nothing stops me from an impromptu garden center, nursery visit. Nothing. Okay maybe pie does, but that's a story for another time. Skip the wait. Lose the checkout lines. Easily compare models. Arrange delivery. Ease of use and peace of mind. That's HomeDepot.com.

I actually went Waaaay out of my way to come to this store because I'm trying to boycott Home Depot and its evil politics, but Lowe's is absolutely TERRIBLE. I needed some wood and toggle bolts for a small garage project, but just as importantly, I needed some advice on the wood selection and my overall plan. There was no one to be found in the lumber section or in any adjacent sections. Had to go most of the way across the other side of the store just to find somebody in a position to help. He said he would find a specialist and have them meet me in the lumber section. 10 infuriating minutes later I'm still standing around waiting. Finally, I said to myself, forget it and headed for the registers. There, I encountered a woman who I vented to over the situation. I was polite, but she could tell I was heated. She asked me to please hang around for a moment and she would get somebody to help. A few minutes later, a guy did come around but he said he had to handle somebody's return first and for me to just accompany him near that desk while he took care of the issue. All the while this guy's referring to me as "boss." . Another 5+ minutes later, he's still dealing with this return, and others are cueing up and it's become obvious to me that this guy's not going to be able to get out of this post. Finally, I just paid for my stuff and bounced. Oh, and here's the best part: the reason I was given for why the store seems so understaffed and overwhelmed, was because supposedly, all the associates from the floor were off, searching for somebody's lost child. This was the story they actually gave me. The ineptitude and unprofessionalism of this place is completely off the charts. If I was with Lowe's corporate, I would want the regional manager's head on a platter. So incredibly dumb to allow the evil Home Depot to OWN you and kick your butt so severely. If my neighborhood Ace Hardware store had a lumber department, I would never have even come here. One thing is for sure: I never will again.
