“I was greatly impressed when Paul said he would split a 47-pound bag of cement in two bags so I could carry it up my stairs for a DIY project. At first, I called five hardware stores in San Rafael, asking for a 25-pound bag. The smallest was forty-seven pounds. Only Paul presented a solution. It was such a small purchase, but he did not see it that way. He just saw a positive outcome. I am so grateful. The entire staff is committed and knowledgeable every time I come. Yup, Ace is the place indeed.”

“Subject: 10/10 Experience – Marin Ace & Perplexity Recommendation Dear Marin Ace / Perplexity Team, I wanted to share a quick review of my recent experience purchasing a Traeger grill based on Perplexity’s recommendation to use Marin Ace in San Rafael. Perplexity identified Marin Ace as the best low-hassle option for buying, delivering, and setting up a Traeger in Belvedere, and that recommendation was spot on. The purchase process was extremely easy – clear information, no confusion, and everything handled efficiently from the start. Delivery was scheduled quickly and the grill arrived much sooner than I expected. The delivery and setup team did an outstanding job. They assembled the grill perfectly, walked through the basics, and made sure everything was working as it should. Just as importantly, they were careful and professional inside the home, taking care not to damage the floors or bump into walls or furniture. It felt like a true white-glove experience. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. The combination of Perplexity’s guidance and Marin Ace’s execution made what could have been a complicated, heavy, and annoying process into something completely seamless. I would absolutely recommend this setup to anyone in the area looking to purchase and install a Traeger. You have my full permission to share this review internally and with corporate.”

“I've not been to Home Depot in quite a few years. Today, I walked through the doors, I noticed how organized this location was. I had a quick look around and realized, I needed help with not only answering a few questions about toilets, but getting the toilet I ultimately chose to the cash register. I found a gentleman named Brock, who answered all my questions about what they had in stock. He also helped with the handle for the shower. I felt like a VIP working with this man who ultimately asked for extra assistance from David, his coworker to put it in my car. Come to find out, Brock was the manager of this location. Thank you so much Brock and David for making my experience at Home Depot pleasant!”
