“The good people at the Ace Hardware on Soquel Avenue are the best! I had a BBQ delivered and found it wasn’t working properly (or so I thought!). Without hesitation they sent someone to check it out and lo and behold, he got it started. I was unaware of a little “trick” to getting it started (see me blushing). Josh was so sweet and wouldn’t take a cash tip for his trouble no matter how much I tried to give it to him. I highly recommend this store and will definitely do business with them in the future. Thank you!”
“I’ve had nothing but great positive experiences with everyone who works here. Always getting the help I need and almost always find the products I’m needing. Recently, I received help from Ellie who’s customer service was absolutely amazing! I felt very lost finding a particular tool and she went above and beyond to help me find the best solution, all with kindness and patience. Thank you Ellie! :)”
“Way better service than lowes or HDepot..prices a bit higher but worth it for helpful workers.
Also right within City, truly local.
Had everything I needed, which was extensive, and out the door w in 5 mins!!”
“This place had me in and out within 15minutes on a 60lb jackhammer. BY FAR, FAR, best rental place ever.
Paperwork, breeze. Deposit small. They trust you here.
Go to United or HDepot and they'll ask for fingerprints, IDs, 300 deposits..and usually take 45mins.
Dont go anywhere else, family owned since 1974!!”

“TRUCK DRIVERS !!! TRUCK DRIVERS !!! TRUCK DRIVERS !!! Drive south on 41st Ave turn right on Brommer St in about half mile turn left on Thompson Ave. Open wide at entrance. Enough room to turn around inside their facility. Staff respectful & quick.”
“Gorgeous selection of plants indoor, outdoor, veggie starts, herbs, etc. Prices were fair and everything was easy to find.
Staff pretty much ignored us, which is fine because I didn't need help finding anything, but one employee was watching me struggle to maneuver my cart around an enormous garden hose that was in the middle of the store posing a tripping hazard. She didn't try to move it or help at all. So not the greatest staff in the world, but the plants! Tons of varieties of sages and California Natives. Will definitely be back.”
