Barron Paint & Equipment is adjacent to the NAPA Auto Parts store in Hobbs, NM. They sell paint and…read moreequipment for automobiles only. They are basically the same company. Here's their main website to give you better grasp on the situation: https://napa-bsp.com/barron-paint-equipment/ On 11/18/2022, I came here to pick up a "3M Stripe Off Wheel Adhesive Remover Eraser Wheel" (#07498). There was not a soul in sight when I walked in. I figured they were in the back grabbing parts in this DIY territory. Straight off the shelf it was marked $61.49. The 3M double-sided 1/2" molding tape (.05" thick) I needed near it was not price-labled. I thought, damn, I should've ordered it on Amazon (as no one else in town, e.g. Lowe's and Home Depot, carries this item in stores). I grabbed them both. Then I waited for quite some time to come to the register. Probably too long. Finally a few minutes, in walks two employees. The first asked me if I had been helped. Lol. The wheel/kit came out to $42.96 while the tape was $15.49. I'm okay with these prices to support local folks and not having to waste more cardboard and time with places like Amazon. #ShopLocal #HappyThanksgiving #DIYprojects #AutoParts

I wish that when I came to this Home Depot the employees smiled more and looked me in my eyes…read more I wish when the employees walked by they'd ask if I needed assistance. I wish I could find weird items like outdoor faucet covers without other boxes, displays, and employees-only ladders being in the way. There have been a couple times when I stopped an employee in their tracks because I had already milled around, for instance, the paint counter for several minutes without any help. I would appreciate instead of annoyed sighs and more waiting for yet another employee to come assist me that all the employees would initiate confident attitudes without any complaints about how busy they've been or who should have been to be there to help me. When I paid for baseboards to be delivered this past July, I got no follow-up as to why my delivery date was delayed a day later. The customer service representative I spoke to had no information on her end either. It's frustrating at times to shop here, so I always try to do my homework beforehand or bring my brother who is a great handyman. I love Milwaukee tools. Some are locked up so you'll have to wait for assistance. Bring your patience. Reward yourself with a beer afterwards. Lol. Parking is ample for trucks/trailers. Please everyone slow down for older folks and families with kids. Thank you!

Every time I have order some tools from this store it's always missing something and this time they…read morewouldn't even give me the tools that did come in they said they would have to reorder all of them again and couldn't give me them I was in a bind cause some low life stole all of my tools off of my work truck and I couldn't even do a job with out them so when I got the message they where at the store I rushed over there to get them and had to deal with all of that bullshit and that wasn't a just once thing every time I have ordered something through that place it's the same shit always missing something

I used paper towel after washing my hands to exit. Waters were stacked messily near the door. Parking lot badly needs resurfacing. Building needs paint. Sign is broken, etc. But, eh.

Grajeda's is a rare Mexican goods store on the south side of town in Hobbs, NM…read more My daughter and I stopped here after she got out of school on 3.27.2025. As soon as we opened the door to go inside, we noticed all the lights off. My daughter was hesitant, but I pursued. Lol. Seconds later, we saw a man in a cowboy hat who promptly said hello then turned on the lights. It was awkward. So we quickly walked around. More frustrating than anything was seeing no prices on any items. It was, however, mostly organized: - blankets - cookware - garden figures - pottery - ristras (some even heart-shaped) Just as we were about to leave I thanked the man and asked if they accepted plastic as payment. They do. I also asked what time they open. He matter-of-factly replied, "We are open 7 days a week." Lol.

The Filling Station (TFS) Bookstore is inside Chooselife Church in Hobbs, NM…read more There are hardly any other book stores in Hobbs so this was exciting for me to visit - even if said texts were based exclusively on Christianity and faith. I went here on 2.27.2025 with the intention of purchasing a New King James Version (NKJV) Bible. They definitely had some in their cute locker display - actual lockers that open up nicely and were labeled. However, what they had was not quite what I wanted. One was a huge Bible. It was not comfortable to hold. Another had teeny tiny lettering that my 42-year-old eyes could not handle for long. Lol. So after poring over the rest of the book section, I waved over the friendly young lady who welcomed me to check me out. When she realized they didn't have what I wanted, she recommended me to Hobby Lobby. (A "I could've had a V8" moment.) I purchased a book called "The Grace of Healing: Revealing God's Heart to Heal" by Bob Yandian ($29.39). It has been refreshing and helpful for me. Yandian gets straight to the point, but in thoughtful ways. Go check the bookstore out & eat at their cafe even if you don't attend the church. It is swanky cool inside! Here's a link to their Google page which is separate from the church page *hint hint* Yelp since you made changes to my suggestion: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7G8hVnHFpoujYo2aA

As it is a smaller shop, I did not see any furniture for purchase, but they do have the following: + books + toys + home decor + jewelry + clothes (children's, men's & women's) + shoes The ladies working when I popped in on September 24, 2024 were friendly and assistive. Halloween costumes and decorations were at the front of the store. They accept donations any time during business hours of which I posted a photo.

I picked up some great plants and will be returning to this local shop in the near future.

A lot has changed since my original review…read more Customer service has been wishy washy since I moved back to Hobbs a year ago after being away since 2012. And customer service has always been a roller coaster at the returns section, but lately it was terrible. On three occasions, they took a while to acknowledge me. Today (10/16/2023) I was met with some fairly nonchalant, unhelpful workers. Wasn't acknowledged. There were 4 of them standing there. Eventually one said they be with me shortly. Finally I get help. This girl was a bit distant. Told me I couldn't get store credit for something I bought long ago... okay, but I've returned stuff without receipts plenty of times & never got this amount of grief. I'll explain more on why this Lowe's is lacking, though... my personal policy is to not complain on Yelp unless I've already notified a manager. Done. So here is the s*** show... On Friday, October 13, 2023, an employee used a forklift to put a toilet in the back of my Jeep. A forklift! It took 2 employees to do this actually. One being a spotter. All I wanted was someone to help me lift the box into the back with me because the box was so bulky, but they went super stupid and used this contraption that made me as nervous as a needle to the eyeball with it because I seriously thought they were going to f*** up my Jeep with it. Back in July (2023) I was FINALLY told by an employee in doors/windows that the guy who was originally in control of my window order from February 2023 quit and the ball was dropped completely when one of my special order windows arrived broken. Why did they never call all those months?! Why did they keep telling me the opposite of what Lowe's Customer Service hotline kept telling me? That issue got resolved after several excruciating phone calls and me trying to find the right person to talk to. My window was eventually set up for installation in August 2023 when it could have been done in May. I paid for them in February! Back in March 2023 I had over $8,000 worth of flooring delivered to my house with a forklift. The Lowe's employee ended up busting the pallet by pushing it with the fork in an unstable area on the pallet... the boxes of premium flooring scattered across my garage floor. He started complaining about his employees "who should have wrapped it up better" then and I should have taken that as a red flag. He kept referring to me as babe and baby. Don't expect a lot of help from many of the younger faces who work here. The majority of them act like whiny toddlers when faced with a challenge then leave you high and dry. A group of them were horsing around and talking about non-work related stuff in the ceiling fan area... then asked if I needed help. No. Not with that lack of unprofessionalism. A returns employee claimed they couldn't give me store credit anymore for perfectly boxed, new items because the items the amount would be nearly $500. Then it was because it was on a MasterCard. Then it was because my receipt was too old. Would she have said the same thing if I said I paid it with cash and lost my receipt? No... Then the manager from the floor pursued to tell me that "they're really cracking down on that [30-day return policy] and their bottom line is hurting." It's 2023 - I think everyone's bottom line is hurting! I guess spending over $20,000 here so far this year isn't enough to keep me as a customer by giving me store credit for 6 boxes of unused flooring that they didn't get to me until 8 weeks after ordering. So disappointed in this store.

My husband & I went to Lowe's to buy flooring for our motorhome. There was one young guy in that…read moredepartment and he had no idea about anything. My husband asked a question to him and all he could say was "that's a good question" but didn't make any effort in trying to help or find someone to help us. He had that dumb look in his face, not knowing what to do. Can I make a suggestion? Please start training your employees. They have time to look at their phone but not time to learn their departments. 5 years ago I remodeled our kitchen & bought $23,000 worth of merchandise. But at that time you had a great guy knowing about remodeling. Of course, he's not there anymore!! Please make an effort in training your employees! Carol P .
