For the most part the staff is friendly. However, the last time I tried to go at the end of the day, the heavyset young guy was closing about 15 minutes early and locked the door as I reached for the handle and didn't even have the courtesy of opening the door and explaining why he was closing early or saying sorry. instead, he rudely waved me off and walked away.

They offered to upgrade me to a larger unit that was missing some functionality. I agreed. I had to call for pickup early to avoid additional service charges when a tire came off the rim. It was apparently under inflated. There were indications that the setup was rushed when they couldn't deliver the tractor I reserved, turns out that the box scraper was apparently installed improperly and didn't work well. I paid for a whole week but only had it for 5 days due to no fault of my own.

For an hour or so I had searched online sites for several of those components to no avail. I called Karl's Hardware without great hope (thinking, "How would a smaller, local store compete with the bigs regarding product availability."), and boy was I wrong. They had nearly everything per my "wish list" and beyond that offered better variety (e.g., in lengths of electrical wiring) than the big stores. Even still, while I was indeed amazed with the inventory, that wasn't the best part. It was Aubern that took my initial call and met me in person as I arrived. She very proactively found almost everything with a problem-solving-can-do spirit. She located items quickly, coordinated with other staff to confirm specs, found alternatives for the rare item or two that wasn't in stock, and helped me find my most cost-effective bundle of parts when all was said & done. Karl's is a truly excellent hardware store with great staff and selection!

On October 16 2024 I went to visit the Ace hardware store located on Rosedale Highway. I could've…read moregone to any other hardware store, or in the Eastside of Bakersfield Ace Hardware stores, but I chose to go there. I had some shopping to do on that side of town so it made sense. I live near the plaza mall, if that helps you figure how far I drove. Due to my diligence on trying to find a good carbon monoxide detector, from what I gathered Ace Hardware was the only place that carry the good ones, by First Alert. I knew they didn't have any in stock, and I knew I was going to need some help. Upon arriving at Ace Hardware, Ethan and Avery were quick to help me! I just needed to give those two a shout out! They had a kindness about them, professionalism, a can do attitude, patience, promptness, product awareness, Multi tasking ability, a can-do attitude, and many other things that I may have failed to mention. I am a disabled customer, and a senior citizen, and I value these things. I don't appear to be that when in person, but when that did not dissuade those Etahn and Avery!. They gave me valued customer feeling!. They did not judge a book by its cover which I do appreciate! Ace Hardware, please continue hiring more people like Ethan and Avery, but don't ever let these two persons out of your employment, OR leave your company! They are an asset to your company! Sincerely, Charles Munoz

So while i watched numerous YouTubes and got some condescending "help" from chain hardware employees in the area, my bathtub dribble grew into a stream. Not just wasteful but getting scary $$. I was desperate! So i tried Archie's to try to find the right kind of washer and tools. The guys on the floor sent me to Jill. She not only coached me and let me borrow tools, she CAME TO MY HOUSE and returned TWICE to swap out tools and the washers and fixed it herself. She knows her stuff and cheerfully gives it away! A 21st century miracle!!!! Please know that this is NOT a service you can demand at Archie's; Jill offers her skills at HER discretion - she told me that she likes to help out other women because she understands how tough it can be for gals in the DIY/home repair field. Nevertheless I am now on Team Jill and a loyal fan forever. And Archie's is pretty high on my list, too! Very community based, broad inventory and staffed at least one amazing woman who knows her stuff and is generous and compassionate to desperate dummies! Thank you!!
