Westlake Ace Hardware

I hate having to haggle when I get to the checkout due to incorrect/missing price tags, but I get to experience that every time I shop here. Probably the worst ACE I've been to in that regard, employees seem like they couldn't care less either. It's pretty decently organized, albeit dirty.

NEVER SHOP HERE!!! A couple of months ago I purchased a Stihl chainsaw with a 16" bar. I purchased the most expensive one you could buy to ensure longer life for serious usage. The men who were taking care of me did not seem interested in me as a customer. Today I found some time to put the chainsaw to use. After about 10 minutes or so the casing came off, the bar fell out, as I was using it. I nearly got my hand cut from the blade as it was swinging off. The men who sold it to me filled it with gas and oil and started it up before I purchased it because I wanted to make sure it worked properly. They only ran out for a few seconds. They were the ones who put everything together. Apparently, they didn't tighten something properly or this particular model or particular saw happened to not stay tightened well. I called this Westlake Ace Hardware store from where I purchased the saw to see if I could return it because of everything I have described thus far. I talked with a lady on the phone. I explained everything to her. She told me that I could. So I drove over thirty minutes from the country to the city to exchange this saw for hopefully a better one, pay the difference and when I talked with the manager there she acted surprised that any of her employees would tell me that I could do that. I had my receipt and everything. I told her I talked with a female and the only female employees at the store were standing right there as I explained everything. She talked me as though I was making up a lie, publicly humiliating me in front of everyone around, so I showed her that I called the store by showing calls that I made on my phone screen and she realized that I did call their store. None of the women there owned up to their mistake or lie or whatever it was. There were absolutely no accommodations whatsoever for my loss or time for driving all the way to their store because of either a mistake, etc. I was looking for a sincere apology and didn't receive anything. They just treated me like I was up to no good. I have supplied a picture of my receipt with the Stihl saw info and the store address. Go to another hardware store if you need something!!!

A little pricey compared to Lowes. Hedger I purchased at lowes cost 107 less than comparitable hedger at Ace. Good in a pinch, when you just need a quick small item and don't have the time to go to Lowes. Would not recommend for the budget conscious everyday purchase

These folks always are kind and friendly while making sure I find whatever I need with expert knowledge of many things.

Nicely kept store with a little of everything but not a lot of anything. Good paint, yard, tool, electrical, hardware, home and garden sections for their size. Prices are decent. Lacking some things I hoped to find but perhaps a little too specialized. Found a couple items in the wrong places and some things not in stock.
