“My go to place for dog washing. They literally have a buy three, get one free dogwash.Cinter, where they provide you with two towels.Each for the dogs, and when you go back to the secluded room.There are two wash baths, two dryers and combs, along with shampoos and conditioners.Already set up for you.All you gotta do is bring your dirty dog. The water pressure and the nozzles are perfect for my Shiba. Inus and when we're done there, there's a whole dog aisle where I get a little treat from my dogs. I very much appreciate this store and their customer service.I only wish that other customers who do dog washing would clean up after themselves.So that the workers don't have to do it at night.”
“Lakeside Equipment Rentals saved our life planning event logistics in potentially rainy conditions, helping us develop a Plan A and contingent Plan B depending on the weather. Also were incredibly generous with us since we are a local non-profit organization - HIGHLY recommend!”
“This place is so cool. Love places like this. 8 must have walked around this place 10+ times and each time I found new things I didn't notice before. Lots of vintage and industrial electronics. Connectors, fastenners, tools, wiring.”
“They had what tools I needed at a low price. The workers are friendly and helpful. My only issue is the location of the store seems to be in a bad neighborhood.”
“I came in with zero experience when it comes to lumber, and the team at La Mesa Lumber & Hardware made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Chris took his time to walk us through the yard, gave us a basic crash course on wood, and was incredibly patient with all of our questions. He never made us feel rushed or out of place, which made a huge difference.
The rest of the team was just as helpful and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do.
I also have to mention how impressively organized and well-managed this store is. Everything has its place, the yard is easy to navigate, and it's clear a lot of thought goes into how things are run.
If you need any lumber or hardware, do yourself a favor and make a stop here. You won't regret it. Highly recommend!”
“Well I found a good place to get paint for cars whenever I need they seems to have an exellent inventory wasn't exellent on matching my paint this time due to equipment needs but they willing to try”

“Greg & Mike at Valley Industrial supplies. Give me the biggest solid ever as a handyman and contractor. I had been trying all day to get there before 4:30 PM when they close but when you’re a handyman jobs often times take longer than expected. Thanks to rush-hour traffic it took me almost 50 minutes to get there. I wasn’t gonna be able to make it until nearly 5 PM and the manager Greg offered to wait around for me so I could get my supplies that I needed for a job the next day, Saturday when they are not open. I’ve been here for many years but to get a good review you gotta go above and beyond. That is exactly what Greg did for me. Above and beyond. Much appreciated guys! Thank you for being so cool and about your word. In this business, it’s a rarity and Valley Industrial Specialties is top-notch. Somebody deserves a raise. His name is Greg. ?”
“Nicole in the holiday department is absolutely amazing! She worked tirelessly as a one-woman team to help me find exactly what I was looking for. Even during the busy holiday rush, she went above and beyond to track down the last Bluey inflatable and made sure it got to me. Her dedication and friendly attitude made my shopping experience so much better. Nicole truly deserves all the praise for her hard work and excellent customer service. Thank you, Nicole, for making the holidays even more special!”
“I brought in own wood that needed to be cut and shaped out, the person that helped me, Wes, was super nice and patient with how I wanted the wood to be. He also gave me a test sample to see what the wood shape would look like. In the end, I wanted some further small adjustments to the wood and he did it free of charge. Overall, very good customer service and pricing.”
“Shout out to George at the front desk. I came in with a hand truck with a dead tire tube and a replacement tire from another store. I asked if he could show me how to swap the tires. He immediately set about doing exactly that. He was so gracious and helpful, which I have come to expect from this company. Thanks again for helping out an old lady!”

“I buy a lot of my HVAC materials and equipment from AC Pro here in El Cajon and they always take great care of me. My rep Chris is solid. He knows his products, gets things handled fast, and keeps my jobs moving. As a local HVAC and solar company serving San Diego County, having a supply house that is reliable and easy to work with makes a huge difference.
Their team is friendly, the will call pickup is always smooth, and they consistently have what I need in stock. The support I get from AC Pro helps me deliver great service to my customers through Legacy Home Energy. If you are a contractor in the East County area, this is the place to go for HVAC equipment and parts.”
