“Northwest Ace Hardware #18300 in Mountain View, NC has once again reminded me why I go to Ace whenever I have a complicated project. I came in needing some very specific and unusual parts related to a couple of adventure and waterman projects. One involved replacing a lost lockdown component for a pristine vintage Grumman aluminum sliding seat in my 35-year-old custom Maine Sculling boat — a long, sleek 21-foot beauty that runs straight and fast like an arrow through water. I needed a stiff plated all-thread wire in an uncommon size and configuration, and Dale took the time to truly understand what I was trying to accomplish and found exactly what I needed. On another project, I needed an oval pinch clamp (which I learned is properly called a ferrule) along with flexible wire to create new lockdown loops for two surfboards. Seth and Eugene not only helped locate the correct parts, but went into the shop and used an angle grinder to cut the wire to the exact length needed. All three of these gentlemen were patient, knowledgeable, and kind to this old waterman trying to keep old gear and new adventures moving forward. That matters. I tend to go to Ace when I’ve got difficult or unusual projects because the people there are willing to jump in with you instead of just pointing toward an aisle. Northwest Ace continues to prove that. Fair winds and following seas — I’ll be back. Northwest Ace Hardware #18300 3347 South NC 127 Highway Hickory, NC 28602”

“My daughter had a complicated return at Lowe’s that started out as a frustrating experience until , Jason, the Assistant Manager, went above and beyond to help us. He was patient, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to finding a solution. What impressed me most was that Jason didn’t simply give me a quick “no” or pass the issue along. He took the time to understand the situation, worked through the details, and did everything he could to make sure I was taken care of. His willingness to help and his exceptional customer service truly stood out. Employees like Jason are a huge asset to Lowe’s.”
