“Love love love these old shops . Has tons of great weird shit. It's not orange or blue so that's worth four stars right there. People are nice, slightly expensive but everything is these days. And if you just need three screws you can just get three screws you're not going to have to pay $14 for a box that you'll never finish. I got a knife sharpener. Pretty happy with it.”

“I had a great experience today! I worked with Rick and Rose to solve a purchase deadline. I’ve been shopping around for a bathroom vanity for a few weeks! Rick the salesperson was very knowledgeable and personable. This was my fourth trip to the East Hartford store and he was in the midst of replacing a sink, yet willing to assist me with my questions. He gave me insight on two different items and allowed me to make a decision which led to a purchase that was almost nixed. Todd and Luke were the only people in the store my more recent visits where I had no interactions. No one was willing to even approach and inquire if I needed assistance or had any questions about my visit into the store prior. Thing is I had been here back in March to search for a vanity and sink. Rick was the only person to assist at that visit as well I recall due to his accent. Thank you Rick! Thank you also Rose!”

“I had the best experience recently at Ace. I was looking to buy the new 30” Ego Lawn Mower, and searching online inventory was extremely low across the State, with the nearest one in Stamford. I called Ace and Kathie picked up and immediately was able to help and told me she would keep an eye out for the next time one was available and reserve it for me. Well she worked her magic because later that day she tracked it down, and they had it delivered to my house a few days later. Fantastic experience and customer service!!”

“A small tension spring broke on my new Ferris mower. I called my closest dealer in MA and they said they didn’t have, didn’t check anywhere else, and said we’d have to order and be a week at least. It’s spring and tons of rain, I couldn’t wait. Called Sudden and gentleman said he didn’t have, but he then checked other locations, which didn’t have either, but he said I could order and since he was already ordering from Ferris he could add to the order. They received it the next day and even took the time to help disassemble their showroom mower to help show me how to install it. Fantastic experience and willingness to help even though I didn’t purchase the mower there. They’ve got a new customer now, thank you folks.”

“I’ve been using Coastal Tool and Supply for years as my tool supplier and they are very knowledgeable about the products, told me about tool repair warranties that I wasn’t aware of and had repairs done with the warranty on tools I was going to decommission and the tools were repaired and are back in service! Coastal is much more customer oriented and less expensive than the big box stores. I’ve worked with their rep Aaron McFarland many times and he is outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. When you need tools and great customer service, I recommend talking to Aaron and going with Coastal Tool & Supply.”

“Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your receptionist Mackenzie. In the middle of August, I came in to get some ideas for our backsplash in our kitchen. At the time, there was one designer who helped me briefly and then had to go to lunch. Mackenzie stepped right in to help me. She brought different samples, gave me ideas and actually took the time to understand what I was looking for...all while answering the phone and doing her main job. I am thankful for her help and hope she gets the acknowledgement she deserves! You're the voice of the company, and it was so nice working with you!”

“They have a nicer showroom and a bigger, cleaner space. Had parts on hand. Glad these places are still around. Prices were better than other places after brief internet search. Overall, positive experience. If only they handed out free coffee and donuts ... but contractors have a beer belly already and should spare the added calories.”
