The staff knows their stuff and cheerfully and succinctly answers the question you didn't know you should ask. Recently we bought a Weber grill and we needed it delivered ASAP. When Kylie delivered it on time, he noticed our profane tank was empty. He suggestion this solution -- he'd return to ACE, fill our propane tank and hook it up for us. WOW. We grilled that night. From now on ACE is our hardware etc go-to. Bravo.

They are SO kind and helpful. Sonia was particularly friendly, patient and competent with me today as I needed very basic guidance on replacing stroller parts.

I like this Ace, the paint selection is good and they have a ton of stuff from garden to household to hardware. The staff is helpful and kind. I don't love all the smelly fragrance stuff in the middle of the store, but I'm sure some people are into it. They have some home decor items so this is a good place to get a gift if needed. The only downside (one star off) is that the plants I got here didn't do so well and I have a green thumb. I think they may have had a disease and I don't feel like bringing them back to complain tbh. The plants are also a bit pricy. It's a good Ace for the area.

Victoria in the battery/key fob department is so amazing! She quickly helped me change the battery in my key fob (fyi, they don't do programming/replacements for Toyota Prius 2005-2009).
I don't live in the immediate area, so I called ahead. The staff was really nice both on the phone and in person.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 21, 2023Purchased a Yelp Deal
Always a good selection, their 'grilling area' is REALLY well stocked in the Summer, but still has a decent selection in Winter.
As for hardware stores, super spread of regular stuff, and lots of eclectic non-hardware stuff. And the garden area is great, tooHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J F.Oakland, CA4318May 22, 2024
Ken helped me buy a grill today.
He was patient and knowledgeable about all of the grills.
I told him what I was looking for. He quickly narrowed down my choices and within minutes I was happily paying for my Spirit E-210 grill.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jenna P.Walnut Creek, CA02Jul 12, 2024

I was there this morning and I had a very unpleasant experience, I was looking for a drill auger and this associate ( short guy at garden department) was impatient and rude.
I got there and this guy ( short guy)was talking with another associate "I think" I said good morning and I noticed right away this short guy was annoyed because I asked about the part I was looking for, he didn't say good morning back also.
He took for ever to find it "sort of ",he asked on the radio where was it and I think nobody knew.
I was looking for a 24" , 3" wide auger and they only had 12"long .
I said to this guy I checked
the website first and it says you guys have a few available on the store at that point I noticed this guy was irritated with my response, i he said " if you stop talking I will explain".
I used this auger a couple of hours and got bend , it is useless now, for a very overprice tool $50.
Please be aware of this drill auger , it not worth it.
I don't want to waste my time and go back to this store and try to return it.
I writing this review not because the bad quality tool ,it is because the unprofessional, rude and bad customer service or this associate.
I greeted other employees and they were friendly.
Definitely not coming back to this store , next time I'll order what I need though Amazon. I usually do that , I went to this store this morning because I need it for today. :(
CUSTOMER ALWAYS RIGHTHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Aileen K.Oakland, CA02310Aug 8, 2023
I wanted to replace a part on a mid-century light fixture instead of replacing the whole thing. Stefan found exactly what was needed and even put the new part in, along with a modification. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant in helping me on my quest.
I've been to this store a number of times even though I live in Oakland. I've always been impressed with the service and products.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - James K.Walnut Creek, CA21263Jan 20, 2024
Was looking for a special shower stem to no avail at Home Depot and here. The manager was extremely helpful though at finding replacement parts for me.
