Crown Ace Hardware

I'm always thankful this place is here when I'm in the middle of a project and need one item.

Today it was a mini screwdriver.

What makes it great is the help as you walk in. They ask what you need and take you right there. I was in and out in 3 minutes.

This would have been 1/2 hour at Home Depot.

Thanks Ace.

Helpful staff and big selection of hardware, it's what keeps me going there. I start here for products because I can be in and out quickly. The staff can help find anything they have and make sure you have the correct items. Big inventory fir a small store.

Great hardware store with GREAT service. Ace often has the hardware I need when the big box stores don't. The people really are the crowning piece that makes this the place to shop.
BTW: More of the dollars you spend here stay in San Diego to support YOU and our local economy.

Fasting hardware experience. I always leave with a smile, more knowledge and not than what I came for! Grill seasoning, holiday gifts, etc

February 2024 - During the days and nights of relentless rain I found out the shed in my backyard with a lot of my belongings had a huge hole in the roof and most of my items were rain soaked. I ventured out to Crown Ace (my go-to hardware store) hoping they would have tarps. The really nice salesperson took me to the aisle and they had every size imaginable and at a very low price! (I found out a day later from a friend that Home Depot had been sold out of tarps for days.) I purchased several and drove home, only a few minutes away, and got a really nice neighbor kid (he is 21 yrs old, I am a 70 yr old woman) in the rain to help me cover the shed and tie the tarp down. And the salesman was right on. It was the perfect size for what I needed! I don't know what I would have done all these years without Ace Hardware and I won't go anywhere else! It is truly a friendly, neighborhood store. Also, it's always easy to park close to the entrance. Home Depot's lot is always full and it's a trek from the car to the store, then the store is crowded with long lines at the checkout. Another plus for me and others in my position is they offer a military discount for all active duty, retirees, family members, etc.

August 2023 - Another visit and found exactly what I was looking for. Just purchased some Fiskars pruners and an EGO Power String Trimmer. The employee explained the pros and cons of each string trimmer in their inventory and which one would be best for my home use. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable. I love this store. MUCH BETTER than Home Depot!

Great collection of all your hardware needs and a small but nice plants collection too.

Another amazing customer service experience with Dee (Denalda)! Clear communication, helpful nature, persistence with finding a solution to our school garden needs and always professional. I appreciate that we have a neighborhood garden/hardware resource so close! Will definitely return!

My Local Hardware Store (Toy Store) Every Customer that enters here will be welcomed and if needed, someone will be assisting you every time. This Ace Hardware does offer excellent Customer Service.

It was an absolute pleasure to come and purchase my new Traeger from here. Dean and Claudia were a fantastic help to me, and provided great customer service. They walked me through everything and took the time to explain the different details of each grill. If you’re thinking about purchasing a grill or any goods for your home, I highly recommend coming here and to ask for either Dean or Claudia.

Great customer service
Great line of products..
Today I got a rechargeable Milwaukee drill, hanging with 2 batteries, and I finished it off w a 15/16" socket !! 😜🎸
Time to get to work

Great service at Will Call. I didn't realize I needed a cart and the staff at the Will Call got me one. He promptly helped me check out and it was the easiest experience I've had with picking up any goods.

The girl at the check out also greeted me when I walked in. It was great to be seen and acknowledged. There were a few other customers in the store, but everyone was so relaxed and patient.

I really prefer this store compared to the big boxes. It is so nice to be able to have some one help you. At the big boxes it is always a quite a job to find someone to ask questions.

First Time, and It Was a Good Experience!

Ordered online one day ahead for curbside/in store pick-up. I received emails confirming the order and another email later confirming pick-up was ready. Directions to the store and how to do pick-up were included.

The Crown Ace Hardware store was easy to find (behind Jack in the Box). The was plenty of open parking, including ADA parking.

Never having been in the store I decided to go in rather than do curbside pick-up. The store is clean and organized. Masks are required.

I asked the first employee where I should go and received concise and accurate directions to the Service Desk (end of Aisle 18). After giving my name and order number to the person at the service desk I was presented with my item, signed for it, and exiting.

The item I ordered was not immediately available at any of the larger chain store, and I needed it before it could be shipped by them, which prompted me to check at Ace Hardware. Fortunately for me Crown Ace Hardware had it available in stock when others didn't.

My experience with Crown Ace Hardware was very good from start to finish. Fast, efficient, accurate! I plan on shopping there again and recommend them to others.

So helpful! Had a great experience buying paint today. I'm sorry I didn't catch the name of the gentleman helping me, but I did catch the name of the woman helping him - Sofie. She knew her stuff on paint. She had all the answers, and they got me set up with exactly what I needed.

Love our Crown Ace Hardware store. The employees are always helpful whether in need of a specific item or just browsing, they're very helpful. I always enjoy shopping there.

I always buy my Yeti products here! Team members are always super nice and helpful. Kevin the store manager is also a great guy! I try to support the local hardware store as much as I can. Sign up for their Ace member rewards program and receive a percentage back ($5 card) for a certain amount spent. Great coupons too! Just wish the coupons included Yeti purchases.

Great customer service...always. usually never a line. I prefer going here over their nearest competitor.

Loved it

Prices are higher here than at the Home Depot, but it's a small store and that's understandable if you understand how prices are lower when you can order in larger quantities. What's special about this store is that they carry items no one else has, such as hard to find battery sizes. Please are very helpful and pleasant.

My husband and I are from Maryland and loved going to our Ace Hardware store. How fortunate were to discover Crown Ace this past February after moving to San Diego. The employees are so helpful and friendly, and we always find what we need. This past Halloween and Christmas we stocked up on decorations, which brought great enjoyment to our grandkids and neighbors. Most of the items were on sale, and Hope the cashier found a way we were not aware of to help us save even more. Each time we walk in she greets us with a big smile and a happy, positive attitude. It's a pleasure doing business here, and we recommend this particular Ace Hardware without hesitation.
