4 separate trips into store from10am =5pm never got a chance to ask for help . Time I walked in store was welcomed by ace employee and was ask if I needed assistance. 110% great help, information and assistance. With Lowes and home depot razing prices. ACE is a true value. In my case will be my first choice from now on thank you ACE team, great work looking forward to challenging you staff .your store truly one stop home repair and most anything needed work .office,farm and yard maintenance. At quick reliable service

I had an excellent experience after dropping by a couple of times for home improvement items. The first time I thought folks were incredibly helpful because it was close to closing time, however, I stopped by the next day and the experience was the same. No issues finding cheerful non-pushy help, and had multiple options on the items I was looking for at a reasonable price.

Don’t ever take anything to be serviced or worked on there. All they did was put fuel and bar oil in my chainsaw and that was it. You could tell it sat on the floor since I dropped it off. I would have known right off the bat they didn’t do $hit if it was me who picked it back up. What a rip off.

This is the place to get a car key made and great customer service. They were very nice and Jason had great customer service on the phone. When I got there Jason and Cameron was a great help. As I waited and walked around the store different gentlemen asked if they could help me. It felt great to walk in a store and get great customer service from the time I called on the phone and when I got there and also check out. Cameron did a great job on programming my key and it didn’t take long and it wasn’t too expensive. Ace Hardware you get a 10+ from me.

From the time I entered the front door everyone was so pleasant, courteous and helpful. Directing me to the department or aisle that I needed. Answering questions that I had about paint, lite bulbs and switches. I really do appreciate great customer service at a time when so many stores dont have it. Keep up the good work and Ill keep coming back and referring my friends also.

Review №26

I called in advance to ask if they had the item I wanted because they did not have it at Home Depot and I didnt want to be driving around town looking for it. They said they had it however when I got there they did not have it. Next time when someone ask a question take the time to look and see if you actually have it. DUH

After going to Lowe’s and Home Depot, I gave Ace Hardware a try. The commercials don’t lie, it is the helpful hardware place. Greeted upon entering the store with associates providing assistance, they even provided home delivery with a much cheaper price and the delivery associates aren’t disgruntled or in a rush. They have a customer for life, is there anyway to give more stars!!

These are the kindest employees and I shop here for anything I need plant wise! They have so many options available for all gardening needs. Once again the employees are all outstanding!

Review №32

A good clean and organized home improvement store with fast service and no shortage of associates to help. The store is small but carries most things you would need on a daily basis. I removed one star because most of the associates are too young and inexperienced to give technical advice.

It never fails...I am always greeted by a staff member within 60 seconds of entering the door. All of the staff are willing to help. If you need help with landscaping needs speak with Rex. If you enjoy shopping in a clean store with short lines and a wide selection of stuff...this is your place.

Superbly staffed and clean and professional. The only problem was they lacked the item I was looking for and that was gutter cleaning items and or attachments. If it wasnt due that I wouldve given them 5 stars.

Review №49

The greatest employees on the face of the entire earth. The parts and service department have the single highest level of professionalism and customer service in this entire universe. Walking into Ace is like walking into Moes times infinity. I love this store, the employees, and their selection of Stihl saws, files, bars, and parts. I would be totally lost if this store (God forbid) closed down. GREATEST STORE EVER....EVEEEER!

Specifically regarding Chandler and Garrett, our service could not have been better. Making a substantial purchase such as a commercial lawnmower is not one made lightly. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Answered all of our questions with patience and more information on their products than anyone else weve talked to. Couldnt have asked for better. We dont live locally and in fact drove over an hour to visit this store to find the mowers we were looking for and we will he returning to this location for any future needs.

This Ace Hardware has a unique plant selection. Everyone, customers and staff are more friendly and helpful than I could imagine. Im not saying this after one visit. Every time I shop at University Ace Hardware I feel welcomed. On the down side they dont have the lowest prices in town.

Don’t be fooled by the size of the garden center; this is one of the best places in Auburn-Opelika to buy plants and garden supplies. The variety and quality is very high. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for healthy plants clean of diseases and pests, I would recommend this location - next to the mall. I have purchased several types from there and have not been disappointed. They are also willing to order items for you if they dont have it in stock. Plus the staff know their stuff!!

This is the nicest store I think Ive ever been in! Helpful employees that actually smile!!! What a thing of the past! I went in Saturday with my 81 year old mother and the employees helped her find everything she wanted and needed and did it all with a smile on their face. Love, love, love this store and they have my continued business! The store is clean and neatly organized too! THANK YOU for such a wonderful shopping experience!!!

This is a nice hardware store with seasonal patio and yard decorations, products, plants, mulch, dog food and miscellaneous hardware items from screws to electrical items and parts. Nice, clean organised store with friendly assistance and cashiers.Very convenient without having to drive to hardware stores at Tiger Town.

Found what I needed and employees were very quick to assist me even though I just went in for 2 things. Didnt look around too long but they have a lot of nice stuff, and I doubt any guy couldnt find what they needed for any home project. Prices are fairly reasonable too for what I got
