    For Christmas, our son's grandparents gifted him a giant wall decal but since we are renters, we wanted to put it on a plexiglass rather than straight on the wall. TAP plastics was able to cut a piece for us and even cut drill holes. Very fast and great customer service. Mike, who cut the plastic for us, even said we could come back if we wanted it cut small - but it was perfect! Highly recommend!

    This scratch goes all the way thru the front!

    I am hella disappointed. My acrylic mirror was cut a little short. We made the choice to keep it to save them from cutting another piece and wasting product. When we peeled off the cover protection piece the mirror was scratched all the way across the piece. I paid $48 for a scratched mirror. Too late to return as it's for a Father's Day present. Super disappointed. Can I get a refund???? Probably not.

    Wilson helped me cut all these panels while I waited! San Jose told me I would have to wait two weeks. Thanks Fremont team!

    Wow! I am amazed. I went to San Jose to get some price quotes on some acrylic pieces and was told I'd have to wait two weeks and was basically told to come here. SO GLAD I CAME HERE. Wilson was so knowledgeable and took care of me on the spot! I can't not explain how great this team is. I had the worst experience at the San Jose location, and will now tell my company to come here instead to have any work done. Thanks Wilson!

    Awesome crew there! They helped with getting one of the sides of my Custom Subwoofer Box cut perfectly and did it very quickly! Very impressed with their work.

    (Left) Green edge acrylic (Right) P95 frosted acrylic. Laser etched design. Both came out awesome!

    WhoO, boy! I've held off on writing this review bc I was loyal to working with the SJ TAP Plastics folks. Yup, I used to drive down to SJ, but this store has become the best TAP Plastics in the Bay Area ever since Gretchen stepped in. The vibe here has changed for the better! Gretchen is always excited about new project ideas and shows you the latest thing she's working on for the store display. You won't leave the shop w/o hearing her say "Ooh come here, I got to show you something" and then you're find yourself thinking: Why yes, I DO need a sheet of neon green acrylic in my life. Issac and Stephanie are great too, I worked with them to make a custom makeup organizer for my narrow bathroom cabinets. It was 5 minutes before closing time on FRIDAY and these guys stayed late to cut the job, gave me advice on how to glue it properly and even gave me practice pieces, I was thrilled! Gretchen showed me a piece that looks just like glass when you add a polish to it and there's even a frosted one that looks very classy. Love working with these guys, thank you!! Also, pls don't be THAT person that EXPECTS free service like drilling a hole, this is a business and whatever they do is a COURTESY, not an expectation.

    I purchased a used accent table at a local thrift shop that was missing the glass insert; comparable glass tops run from 41.00 and up. TAP Plastics in Fremont to the rescue for a fraction of what I would've paid. Gretchen helped me from start to finish. She let me bring the accent table in the store, it's alwats better to MEASURE TWICE...CUT ONCE (remnants of watching too much HGTV). It had to be custom cut, and to my surprise it was ready to go out the door in minutes. She threw in 2 coasters free of charge. How AWESOME is that??? I will be returning for future projects. Thank you Gretchen and Staff!!!

    Special thanks to Jeff, the Store Manager at this location. Jeff is one of those rare people in customer-facing retail businesses who absolutely shines at what he does. He is an expert and he is downright kind in sharing his expertise. Thanks to Jeff, my wakeboard tower installation is reinforced and it is strong enough to do pull-ups on.

    More concerned with sales than service. Couldn't take 5 minutes to drill four holes?

    Paul, you're right we should have drilled the holes while you waited, the issue has been addressed. Thank you for letting us know.

    I usually go here just to get the Dust Remover since it's the only location I can think of…read more I heard that they sell cheap tools, but it's a small place to go though. You can find at least some tools you need for repairs. People probably come here because they prefer getting cheaper tools compared to the ones from other stores. At least you're not in a big building constantly looking for supplies that you can't find.

L O C A T I O N Harbor Freight Tools is located in a plaza on the corner of Blacow & Mowry Ave. The parking lot is shared by a Indian grocery store and other establishments. It was a crazy experience when we were parking so proceed with caution. I N S I D E Everything is labelled well and what I do is look up what we want online picking the store we want to go to and it will state what aisle to look and if they have inventory at that store. Take this with a grain of salt. What I found with this particular Harbor Freight was that many shelves and areas were empty. So again proceed with caution. But it was all quite organized. S E R V I C E We were in need of a 5/8 deep socket and a socket wrench as well as a normal wrench. Luckily Harbor Freight comes to the rescue as we're not needing anything super fancy, just something that will do the job without breaking the bank. Luckily they had what we needed at this particular Harbor Freight. There was someone who was walking up and down the aisles asking if people needed help. He pointed us in the right area. Checking out was a bit long though as there was only one person initially and they were doing a return that seemed to be having some issues. But eventually the line was being handled a second person as they saw the line was growing exponentially. He seemed to be chugging away through the line after we paid. Glad they were there to help but it would've been nice to have a third person helping out. O V E R A L L This particular Harbor Freight seems to be quite popular that their stock seems to be out of a lot of things. Lines got pretty long but it was just chance. I recommend trying out Harbor Freight for any tools you may need that are good enough and doesn't have to be expensive and just works.

    [[ Kids Workshop Review ]]…read more Every 1st Saturday (or sometimes even more), Home Depot offers a Kids Workshop for free to build something which they list on their website. For October 2025 it was the Haunted Candy Box. It was our first time doing it so I wanted to give a detailed review and some things I noticed when I went. 1.) Workshop location is OUTSIDE of home depot on the right hand side. I attached a picture to show the location. 2.) Although you have to register on the website beforehand, the event is relatively chaotic and they do not check. I think they get a set amount of kits and they just hand it out until they run out. 3.) When we arrived at 9am, the event wasn't set-up and a bunch of parents with their kids were watching the setup. I don't think they finished until maybe around 9:15am (setting up tables, getting the materials, kits, etc.) 4.) No Aprons available which was a huge bummer. Not sure why the didn't have any. Maybe Home Depot does not ship these aprons in advance and it's whatever is left-over from previous events. 5.) The Tables themselves are pretty tall and I think 3-5 year olds may be able to work on them a bit easier. If your kid is on the smaller side or younger, they may not be able to reach the table. I've seen other parents bring their own miniature table so their kid can work on the craft. 6.) Some parents just showed up and took kits to work on it at home which is not a bad idea in case you don't want to do it there. Overall, I think it's not too bad for a free event but I wish they were more prepared for it. One employee was also very rude at the event we went to and seem annoyed we were asking questions like "Where is the apron?" or "Do you have anymore hammers or screwdrivers?". She would just answer "No" and that was it. Ironically the younger employees were nicer and went to get more tools for us which made her interaction even worse.

Nobody in the aisles, so I asked Aidan at the pro desk / cust service if he could get someone to open up and get what needed. He paged, and nobody shows up. A few minutes later Aidan sees me still standing there and asks what i need. He opens up the cage and then cashiers me. It wasnt his job, but he solved my peoblem. Employees like Aidan are what fixes your bad customer service reputation.

I've called about 5 or 6 times now, and it's always a long long wait before anyone picks up. Last time, someone answered, but she's talking to someone in front of her, who's arguing about something he bought. No matter how many times you say hello, she can't be bothered to attend to the customer on the phone which she, for some unknown reason, answered, even though she wasn't ready to speak to the customer. Why on earth would you answer the phone if you're still talking to someone else? The other day i was put on hold forever. It was obvious nobody was going to pick up so i finally hung up and called back. Then the same thing happened when that employee transferred me to appliances. I see they only have 2 stars even though they're paying yelp a monthly fee. That means they're REALLY bad!
