Hare Creek Nursery and Saw Shop ROKK! (I'm an 80's Dude. Trust me, it's the TOP compliment!)…read more The story "grows," so please read on. OH... I will be placing the same review on the Yelp for Hare Creek NURSERY, as it looks like they have their own Yelp. You only need to read one or the other. (Or you can read both if it helps their business!) SO... I brought an old, neglected Poulan 4000 chainsaw to Hare Creek Nursery and Saw Shop in Ft. Bragg today. (We are moving to our place in the area permanently this summer after YEARS of visits and my wife growing up here and so on...) I brought it in for a service and sharpening at around 11:00am, after the saw sat unused for almost 20 years. (My little electric saw has sufficed over the years "down there.") The Woman at the counter was super helpful, and explained how the diagnostic fee worked and would be applied if the saw could be serviced, but she also gently let me know that the age of the saw and the lack of attention over 20 years could be an issue. After she told Suburban-Me why I couldn't fit a larger bar to it. Because I asked. (At least I knew what the bar was...) Said they would call me early next week with the news, as they weren't super busy. (Stoked! Because I actually called them last August, and was told I could drop said saw off but it might be 4-5 weeks before it was done. Which I now understand. And still should have just dropped off.) So maybe an hour and 15 minutes later, as my daughter and I were finishing lunch at Laurel's Deli, (another GREAT place with ROKKEN service), I got a call from Hare Creek Nursery and Saw Shop. (Because cell service!) Saw was done. Had some issues, but they got it sharpened up and running and should be good for a few more years of real work. I was kinda shocked. They HAD me for the sale of a new Husqvarna. But they salvaged my old saw. (Which was my Father's, and before that my Great Uncle's.) When I picked it up, the Senior Manager came out and told me that when I dropped it off, he overheard me say that I had some trees down on my property that were a problem. So he said he "put the shop on it since it was slow anyway." That is legit SERVICE, the way it should be. That is old-school CLASS, the way it USED to be. THAT is how you create a customer for LIFE. One who will his new Husqvarna from Hare Creek.

By far the best place on the coast for outdoor power equipment repair. Experienced and…read moreknowledgeable mechanics and a well-equipped shop. I like to fix my own stuff when it's within my ability, and the staff here often help me do so. They have plenty of business and are happy to help people DIY the easy stuff. Great place to buy equipment as well. They can help you decide which model is best for what you want to do, and get you started right.

Music was blaring when I pulled into the parking lot. I was hesitant to go inside because the…read moremusic was blasting inside as well. Since I don't live in the area, I wanted to see what this shop had to offer. I was enchanted by the gift shop, with many tasteful items. I especially liked the decorative metal stakes and the Japanese seed packets. There were many other seeds that were attractively packaged, with nice descriptions. I wanted to peruse the seed offerings, but the music was so loud, I could not focus or think about how a particular seed would work for me. The music apparently helps the workers get through the day, but it drives customers away. No one ever greeted me or offered assistance, and I was barely acknowledged when making a purchase. Disappointing.

My Mother has bought a few appliances from this place. The only reason they are still in business…read moremust be because they are the only game in town. But given the options for shipping to the Coast now they should really take more care in their hazardous advice and customer service. Each appliance my Mom bought (stove, refrigerator, upright freezer) she was told that since the plug won't reach she should just use an extension cord. In double checking she found out that this is dangerous and a fire hazard (thank you Ft Bragg Electric). When she called to notify Canclini they told her on the phone they "Didn't want to listen to this." And cut her off. Being from an older and more vulnerable demographic, this seems very predatory and dismissive. My advice would be if you need any appliances on the North Coast this place would be a last resort. (If zero stars were an option I would do that)

The clerk rather rudely put the cable in front of and pointed to the A part of the cable. Got back home and learned I should have asked for an A and micro cable rather than the C end. I went back to the store and the "manager" came out and refused to take it back due store policy of not taking electronics back. The this was in the span of 30 minutes. I had the receipt and packaging undamaged. What a horrible store along with rude staff! The clerk actually started laughing at me. I am 69 years old and am not used having such little respect. Went to ACE nearby great friendly and helpful staff and well stocked store. Definitely recommend ACE v True Value/ Radio Shack.

Thankfully this Radioshack has the exact battery model I was looking for and saved us in a pinch. I would recommend visiting this Radioshack for battery or emergency items during your travels. Pricing is also reasonable but in general, I feel tourist towns like Fort Bragg have everything slightly marked up so expect to pay a bit more for your battery here than elsewhere.

It's got a great location, a knowledgeable and personable staff to go along with an immense selection. Normally I'm one to ask far too many questions and be a challenge , but today it was just for one particular item.

I highly recommended Hare Creek for all of your gardening and landscaping needs, plus they are very adept at fixing and servicing your power tools. Only in Fort Bragg #shoplocal

Plus, they have the saw and yard care power tools shop. I gave them three stars because the staff just aren't always helpful. We consistently get inconsistent info about plants and shop services, no follow up re:special orders, and there are some staff we know to just avoid. Go knowing what you need to get, get it, and get out, and you'll be fine. Otherwise, it'll be hit or miss.
