Located in Downtown Pleasanton, this is the 2nd workbench in Pleasanton. This store is twice as large as the original hardware store located only a mile away. No need to go to Home Depot, you can find most everything you need at this hardware store including great old school friendly service!

Hometown hardware store on historic Main Street. Limited selection, but infinitely better service than the 2 big box warehouse chains!

Love a small, local hardware store! There are a True Value affiliate, but better customer service than you'll ever find at the 2 big box guys. Smaller locations mean less selection, but they are great for certain niche items. Recently needed to replace the mailbox number stickers at home, and the local Home Depot had NOTHING available in store. Workbench had multiple options available (gold, silver, slanted text and straight text). Also bought my next door neighbor new numbers... the store was out of stock for "0"s, so I got them an "O".

Stopped in last night to pick up a green mountain grill. I walked in around 10 minutes before closing time knowing I was about to ask for a 150lbs box. Austin was the young man who helped me out. He went above and beyond even though I was the dreaded last customer of the day buying a big ass heavy item. He turned down a cash tip even after I insisted a few time. Top notch. I've been customer service for most of my adult life and this kid has it. Thank you Austin.

Paint

Fantastic customer experience! They are listed as carrying a certain brand of paint that I am considering to redo a china hutch.. Needed a black and white but they only had one of the two.. Kid at the counter was helpful and got me in touch with the manager. He gave me the distributor s phone number so I could get the product I needed.. who does that?!! Shop here. They treat you right!!!

Every time I go in here the staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Today's adventure was no exception. I went in to try to find staples for my old craftsmen staple gun. The staff member not only pointed out where staples went but also continued to help me try to find the right staple based on my model number and continued to help even when no number match was found (guess my staple gun is quite old. Success! Got the staples and finished my project. Located right on Main Street in Pleasanton- please go on in, support local and get great service!

Finally got it assembled!

See all

I'm no stranger to pesky fruit flies, but I never imagined I'd be buying MOTH traps! Yet, here I…read morewas, at the Home Depot in Pleasanton, doing just that, determined to fix the issue before it turns into an infestation I can't handle. Surveying the products on the shelf, I realized that I could use some of the fly ribbons and sticky traps I already have at home (previously used for flies). But I also grabbed some Safer Home pantry pest traps this time around. The store was clean and organized on a Wednesday afternoon. The pest control products were easy to find, the location similar to most other HD stores (far aisle on the left in Pleasanton). Checking out was quick and simple without any waits. In fact, there were workers at the self checkout registers helping customers ring up their orders... unnecessary but appreciated (as long as they don't slow me down). There was even an employee greeting guests at the entrance, and she was helpful and friendly too. Even though I just made a small purchase on this day, I was genuinely impressed with the service here, as well my overall experience.

After my post 3 months ago I got action right away. Unfortunately, as you could see by the…read morepictures, it doesn't even start to resolve my original issue about the large holes being in the cabinets referred to pictures from my last post. While the rep was here from Thomasville, he said I need hinge restrictors send them to me with no instructions. Then looking at my invoice I was charged $49.50 for hinge restrictions on my original order. Now they expect me to take my hinges off to install the hinge restrictors so it doesn't hit my appliances or the wall. Then they expect me to assemble a drawer. When I was told will send you everything you need all you have to do is put it on. So if you plan on ordering Thomasville cabinets top of the line, I would think about it again and again. They talk about Service how they stand on Customer Service more like lack of service. Again, this doesn't solve the original problems of my cabinets having holes in them. Again, small kitchen only 12 cabinets total. Very unhappy I guess it's 7 on your side next.

Shout out to VJ for his great customer service. I was purchasing a wall hanger that was marked…read more$19.98 at the isle it was located in but was registered as $27.98 at the checkout. Fortunately I had taken a photo for Yelp and showed it to VJ. He was able to correct the mistake and charge me the advertised price. I was a long time customer of the competitor but prefer Lowe's for their customer service and quality of their products. I also found a great a great value on a new jacket for my dog Lola.

This review is specifically towards Lowes Installation Service…read more This is the WORST service ...very un-professional sub contractors. Lowes does not own installation team, but rely solely on subcontractors. 1.We paid Lowes full price for installation and was assured scheduler will call within 48 hours 2. Had to call Lowes after 96 hours waiting...who gave me subcontractor number.....who happens to be in LA, while I am located in SF bay area 3. The subcontracttor NEVER called, I had to call 3-4 different times to be "assured" installer will call me 4. After 4 times, they gave installer number ( name AJ )....who never ever answered the phone 5. Finally after lot of escalations by Lowes install team, so called AJ called this morning telling ( not asking) that he will visit between 100 and 130 6. AJ does not have simply courtesy to call/text that he is running late 7. Shows up at 345....one look and says he can not install garage door opener ...the reason he gave is power outlet point is not exactly above opener motor. 8. Asked if its building code, he explained Lowes prohibits to install if power outlet is not directly above motor....and he will call Lowes to cancel installation. VERY unprofessional installer...but thats only installer Lowes has. Anyways....stay away from Lowes Install....far far away,....

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.

We've had our fair share of home improvement stores and we're now seemingly leaning toward Harbor…read moreFreight for tools which is great to have options. 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.

The EXCELLENT customer service experience of my life - Thank you, Jackie Bradford!…read more I rarely write reviews, but this experience deserves every single star and more. Our kitchen countertop project started in May 2025, and what should have been a simple project turned into months of delays, frustration, and disappointment. After so many calls and setbacks, we honestly felt defeated and were ready to give up. Then we met Jackie, and everything changed from night to night today. Jackie is, without question, the EXCELLENT customer service professional I have ever worked with. From the moment she took over our case, she treated our project as her own. She was professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, transparent, and incredibly dedicated. She worked tirelessly to help resolve an issue that had been ongoing for months and successfully secured our refund when we had already lost hope. Her communication was excellent at every step of the way, and her persistence made all the difference. She went above and beyond in every possible way. If it had not been for Jackie, we would have walked away from this project and from Lowe's with a very negative experience. Instead, because of HER, we now feel grateful and truly supported. Lowe's is incredibly fortunate to have someone like Jackie on their team. She is an absolute star and deserves recognition for her outstanding service. Jackie Bradford! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best of the best! Alan and Cristhy Wilson
