I don't mind if they are pricier, when I know it's going to be spent at a locally owned business! Sadly won't be using them long term, as I'll be moving to wasilla soon. So to the crew at M Bar D, Thanks a million!

Troubleshooting confirmed the compressor was bad and also uncovered a couple other issues. Despite no firm repair time frame, the job was completed within 2 business days, parts were replaced and the machine is 100% quieter running than the original compressor and works great. Highly recommend the company for repair.

After building two structures here in anchorage, and on my second in Seldovia, I am pissed. I just returned an unused garden item at lowes, no receipt, past 90 days, the store manager allowed it. I just tried to return a small box of emt fittings at browns. The socially detached, un empathetic jack-a$$ millenial immediately sighed a long sigh, and threw out half of my receipts because they were past the 60 days allowed, citing policy. The rest of the items, i purchased less than a week ago. Strange, the Sales clerk to my right kept looking over uncomfortably, as HE KNEW, THAT I KNEW THAT HE KNEW, that i had just purchased them. Way to go! Thank god, where i work, i am allowed to deviate from company policy to take care of my customers, who ultimately pay my income. F()ck this guy, and screw you BROWNS for not giving your employees the power to take care of a customer. You'll find me at LOWES.

"Alexa, turn on my Soirée Kitchen Lights". Oh yeah this is a technology age we're living in and…read morewhen I need assistance I go to my buddy Dave. He's at their main location. They have a Showroom at 6th Ave. and another off Old Seward closer to Dimond. I call Dave and he tells me what to get and tells me what's available and the model type. All their people know their stuff. I bought these cool Alexa/Google voice activated light switches for every room and bathrooms. They can control up to 29 lights on one switch so like our bedroom lights that have like 11 on one switch is no problem. Lutron Caseta Wireless Smart Dimmers. 'Alexa, turn down the bedroom lights to 15%". Yeah, a little pricy but worth it! The house we're building is 100% all LED. We figured out the lighting we needed from our architect then we sourced about 75% of our lighting needs here. They don't carry everything but they carry a lot and some things have to be ordered. This time I needed 100 Watt LEDs equivalent to standard size bulb (they call that a A19 bulb type). Usually for a standard LED bulb I go to Lowes or Home Depot. But the higher Watt Bulbs 75 and 100 Watt Equivalents there are a oversized LED bulb. Trying to put them in our new Island Pendants - uh too big -- I need the Lumens to be at a minimum 810 -- Architect thing -- Lowes and Home Depot Oversized Only ... ARRRGH! Called Browns and got the answer I needed and at the equivalent prices that would have been at Lowes or Home Depot ... the advantage at Brown's -- Selection and ability to order to your specific needs. I went by the store off Old Seward and grabbed them.

We generally have really good luck finding what we need at Trustworthy; it's nice when we can…read moresupport local and not drive to Anchorage. By no means do they have the inventory of the big box stores, but they have a good selection. They pack everything they can into the store and even added space on the front patio. Many times, we stop in for shear pins for the snow blower, a can of spray paint or other tidbits of hardware needed for a project. I've found that during the summer months, they really kick up the BBQ/Smoking supplies, which is nice too. I think if you aren't acknowledged in the store, it's a pure fluke because we are always and I mean ALWAYS acknowledged!! We are greeted when we walk in and every time I wander around aimlessly to check things out, I'm asked if I need any help. Yesterday in fact, both young men at the counter walked my husband to the item he was looking for and when I started looking at seasonal items, I was approached by another gal. End of season items go on close out and they seem to get more and more little items added to their inventory all the time. Prices are a bit higher than box stores for the most part, but rarely enough to justify a trip to town.

It was returned 29 days later with the same, unfixed problem - my mower was returned to CT. My yard grass is overgrown, I am out $500, and I am going to have to hire someone to cut my grass because there's no telling how much longer I am going to have to wait to have my "top of the line" mower fixed. W.E. Deming, "Father of Quality Management" said that 94% of all company problems are caused by management. It appears that CT management needs some additional training. Consumer Beware.

I own a couple businesses, and I know good service when I experience it. The mechanics and sales staff were top notch.

Money well spent. 10/10 would recommend Craig Taylor all day every day.

They don't take returns, because with DME supplies, that's generally not appropriate. Before you accept you need to validate the item is correct (kinda like furniture.) My main reason for the 3 stats is it is Extremely expensive, (which is fairly common with mom and pops, since they are buying in small batches unlike companies like Amazon.)

Contracted with ICD for a functional router. We paid:…read moreRouter: $248 Labor: $ 95 TOTAL: $343 What did we get? A router that provided partial internet for 10 days. Contacted ICD, they sent a team to troubleshoot, which I appreciated, but they also didn't complete the fix. The next day we lost all internet and TV. But ICD sent us a bill for $213.75 for the "troubleshooting" that didn't work: We went and bought a new router (same model) and found another installer who replaced it for us over the weekend. At this point *we are out $817.99 for a functional router.* We returned the $248 router to ICD, but they never refunded us. It's unthinkable ICD is making us pay for their labor to fix a defective router ICD sold us that we had to replace and install at our own cost.
