“Brinkmann’s is a solid, reliable place to shop with a really positive experience overall.
The staff stood out right away—super friendly, helpful, and genuinely willing to assist without making you feel rushed or overwhelmed. That kind of service makes a big difference.
They also had what was needed when other places didn’t, and pricing felt fair and reasonable for what was offered. The store itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, which makes finding items quick and stress-free.
Overall, it’s a dependable spot with great service and a smooth shopping experience.”
“There’s something to be said about having knowledgeable and helpful workers that are willing to answer every question you have. The staff is top notch here. I needed a pipe for under my sink but my old pipe had been sawed down; because I didn’t know how to saw it down myself, one of the clerks offered to saw it in the back. Definitely can’t get this level of service with the big box stores!”

“Extremely helpful in figuring out what part I needed. In fact, they saved me money as I didnt need to replace all of the things I was about to. Highly recommend this place... my plumber told me about them.”
“This is an unbelievable store to deal with number one. The staff all are completely educated with Plumbing along with some senior guys. They have to answer the hard questions. They have a great back office and they’re very competitive with their pricing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in my Plumbing needs.”
“This may be the best Harbor Freight I have ever shopped at. I'm very glad it is now my local one after moving to the neighborhood. If you need any help with anything related to the store or its products, Christine is absolutely the finest Harbor Freight team member I have encountered. She took it as a personal mission to make sure my Insider Track membership was adjusted after multiple dead ends on my end of getting it to work. Its rare to see such dedication and pleasant folks just running a store so well. Thanks again for everything and see you soon.”
“Needed a part ASAP for the furnace at my personal residence. Called to see if they had the valve power head that I needed, which they did. Drove over, and it was there waiting for me. The gentleman who assisted me at the counter was very helpful and friendly as well.”
“I had a plumbing emergency today and headed to Ace Hardware in West Islip. We needed assistance finding a very specific part. Jeff did an amazing job helping us. There were so many options and he knew exactly what we needed. I would recommend this store for all of your hardware needs. The staff is always ready to help. Shop local.”

“Asked around for some help repairing my window screens and I'm so glad I did. These guys were so helpful, turned around my screens swiftly and for a good price. I understand now they also sell snow blowers and lead blowers etc and do the maintenance, so I want to plug them for those services as well.”
“This place is the best! I couldn’t run my business without the help and service they provide. Steve behind the counter is super knowledgeable about everything the sell and the applications their parts are used for. He goes out of his way to help his customers.”
“Larry and John are amazing! They know what they are doing in and out. Outstanding service! Respectful and fun. It is a great pleasure to go to this place for advice or to buy equipment. They are hard working, responsive and reliable team. I got loan mower and weed trimmer there. Very happy with my purchase.”
“Mike is fantastic. He was very helpful and he answered every question with a smile on his face. Very knowledgeable and his positive attitude is a reason I would come back to this store.”
“I am truly grateful for the help Nick gave me. I called in at 4:55 closing time is 5 o’clock. Nick was empathetic towards my situation, I had no heat.
He gathered the parts that I needed to correct my problem . He left them outside the store so I could pick them up and not go through the night without any heat. He also offered me his personal cell phone and encouraged me to call him , and he would walk me through the repair.
This was truly a unique experience that will stay with me for a long time. Nobody does business like these people , I will never go to another plumbing supply. I highly recommend Central Islip Plumbing Supply !!”
“There couldn't be a nicer more professional more knowledgeable rental location in the world. If you go anywhere else you're doing yourself a disservice.”
“I went there 9/27/23I needed a battery for my remote for my wall AC. He was so so helpful they had it available. He put it in for me and I so appreciated it.Thank You””
“Great location, super clean and organized, had to run in for a work purchase for a generator, and staff was able to help me find, purchase and load exactly what I needed.
Shout out to the staff Dan, Kenny and Maddy?Matty? for the super quick assist, especially at the end of the day towards closing.”
“Employees are always friendly and pretty knowledgeable. Everything is fairly priced. I will usually come here first before I hit a big box store to get a tool or other gear. It does whay it needs to do and you can't complain about that.”
“This hardware store is great place. It reminds me of the hardware stores that used to be around before Home Depot and Lowes. It's a much bigger than the old stores, but that's because it carries a lot of inventory and has to compete in some sense. What I particularly like is the hardware section. As someone who does a whole lot of repairing and fabrication, I often need certain bolts, screws, fasteners, and they have a great assortment. They are in similar organized self serve pull out draws like you find at the big box stores, but there is a huge difference. They have stock! This stores hardware drawers are filled and they have a variety of stainless, chrome, galvanized, black,etc, that makes it enjoyable to know your project is going to get done how you planned.”
“Ace is definitely the place to get everything you need for your home and business. They have the best selection of quality products at the lowest prices. Everytime I've been there all the employees have been extremely helpful and courteous. They are extremely knowledgeable regarding paint and recommending the right products to complete any job. East Setauket Ace has never let me down. It's the best hardware store I've every been to. I highly recommend Ave East Setauket.”
“Friendly neighborhood hardware store! I called ahead of time to verify store was open on New Year’s Day and was helped by a very friendly knowledgeable employee. I asked about a salt to drive my walkway and they offered me information and pricing on multiple options! When I got to the store another very kind employee directed me to the product options and offered to bring my purchase out to my vehicle. Great customer service and great store.”
“The guys behind the counter were very helpful. I was dead tired coming from work right before closing. They likely were also tired because as I said it was right before closing, yet they greeted me, asked me if I needed help, and helped me find what I needed. I used a 20% off coupon that I had in my email. I got a pair of truck ramps for the snow storm today so I can transport my snowblower. All in all very positive experience I never used this harbor freight before but out of every store that I have visited this was by far the best. Whoever is the manager, they did a good job because he or she has a good team.”
“had a great experience at Ace Hardware in Port Jefferson, thanks to Charlie. He was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful took the time to make sure I found exactly what I needed and explained things clearly without rushing me. It’s always nice to walk into a store and feel like someone actually cares about helping. Charlie’s customer service really stood out and made the visit easy and pleasant. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
