This store has a little bit of everything...in a good way. I went in for a wooden dowel for my window and also came out with a wine opener? Sweet! Hodge podge collection of stuff but the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They know exactly where everything is. Ace will also honor any local coupon and they support the community. Good place. read more

John and everyone who work there are very helpful. I recently went there on a rainy day with my Father and John cut keys for us, and helped us locate everything quickly. They sell awesome local honey from Walnut Crek too. read more

Me and my son went in today to make an exchange and shop around for a new pocket knife. The store was great as usual, but we had a bad time making the exchange... because my original purchase was made with a gift card my sister gave me for Xmas. It was BS and bothersome but it ended very well with the store manager. She was as nice and caring as a person could be. It made a humongous difference for me and my little boy standing there watching his dad get anxious and irritated. She basically saved the damn day and sent us off happy and feeling good about being customers there. The person that upset me perhaps just forgot that the customers don't work there, we aren't your coworkers (we don't NEED to do anything, we just politely pay and that's that) and you should treat every customer kindly and respectfully, slow down and do what you can to help them. I must admit 100% I'm sensitive to these issues in general, meaning I notice it a lot faster and it takes a lot less to rub me the wrong way but I can explain why too. It's because, unless any customer themselves are disrespectful or actually stealing, then they should not only be treated well... but also treated like the whole reason we are even at the store and the store itself exists. Why even have a store if the customer isn't treated like the absolute reason you even showed up that day, the whole store exists to get a customer to first come inside, second to buy something. Look, If the customer never needed help or never had a question, or never had an issue with an exchange, then why on earth would we need customer service and a human attending the counter? Thank you to the store manager that made this right (HUGE thank you to her) she easily could have made it worse but did not, she made it completely fine, she explained I am not being treated poorly or anything other than it was an unfortunate incident (and I fully believed her and it felt very sincere). She ended it wonderfully. Sorry to the person that pissed me the hell off, I sincerely am. Both of us should and could have handled that differently. Thinking back on it I have to say she handled it well too because she easily could have just said some smart thing back to me or whatever else and then it would have been unacceptable, she by no means did, she respectfully stopped and correctly left me the hell alone after I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation. That in itself deserves credit. I will definitely be back and would recommend this store to anyone based on the way they turned this feeling around and kept me feeling good about this store. Odd but certainly an earned 5 stars. read more

I love this place. So much better customer service then Home Depot or Lowes. They have everything the big places do, it's just a smaller store. The prices are also pretty comparable if you use the coupons they send you. When you ask for something is, they walk you over to it and show you. They don't just point in the general direction like Home Depot. I just wish they were still open till 9pm like the other stores. read more

5-7-19 I walked into this ACE hardware store & was promptly & professionally greeted, I was asked if I needed help finding anything? I asked and received the information I needed, then she thanked me for my military service, as I started to find my initial item I was asked by another associate if I needed help finding anything, I said that I was dialed in, again a thank you for my service, a gentleman in the area where I was looking for my item assisted me and asked if there was anything thing else I needed? I asked for ore items and again he assisted me. Another gentleman approached me and thanked me for my service, I asked if he could contact the store manager for me? He was the store manager, I thanked him for having great staff. service & attention to detail seem to be their specialty. Keep up the great work. read more

I decided to come here after a terrible experience at Home Depot. Admittedly, my hopes weren't high coming in, but was soon having a change of heart. Not only did an employee ask if They could assist me, but they actually walked me to the product. Wow! These guys are true to their sales pitch. I left a happy customer who will return whenever the need arises. read more

Our daughter who lives in Concord wanted to give her husband a new grill for his birthday. All she knew was that he wanted something that was quick and easy to use without any muss or fuss. Being a Weber guy for over 40 years, I explained to her that a Weber is the only way to go and that he would probably enjoy the Spirit II, 2 burner, propane model, rather than having to fool around with a charcoal grill. We shopped around and decided to call Bill's Ace Hardware, in Concord, which offered FREE ASSEMBLY PLUS FREE DELIVERY. On Wednesday, I spoke to store supervisor, Mario Selva, who answered all of our questions and mentioned they offer FREE ASSEMBLY, PLUS FREE DELIVERY! He had a Spirit II that had just arrived and he would be happy to put it aside for us. I mentioned we could come in on Friday. He was not going to be in, but told me to ask for Thomas, the Store Manager. So on Friday, I drove over to the store and met Thomas. We discussed the details and he walked me back to the rear of the store and there was the Weber Spirit II, reserved with our name. I mentioned that our son-in-law is an Air Force man. Thomas wanted to show his support and threw in a Weber Cover as well as some BBQ Sauce. I wasn't sure how soon they could deliver the grill, and Thomas asked if I was headed back to our daughter and son-in-law's house and I said yes. He then offered to have two of his nice employees, follow me back in their delivery truck to deliver the Weber right then and there. They delivered the grill, set it up and left. Within minutes, the birthday boy arrived home from work and had the surprise of his life! I have not done business with Ace in many years but if the company has more employees like Thomas and Mario and staff, I'm sure I will. read more

We were doing work in the yard this spring and I had made several trips to Lowe's and Home Depot. I ended up at ACE because I was driving by and it was on the way. I was so pleased by how nice and helpful they are in there. I wish I had been giving them my business all along. When you ask a question at Lowe's or HD, TJ eyes either don't know and don't care, or they point you in the direction of someone else. It's so frustrating. I'm glad I found out about ACE. read more

This is a cute and quaint little Ace. The staff are very friendly. They have a wide variety of things for a neighborhood hardware store and their items are reasonably priced. When in that neighborhood, it's definitely a great place to find what you need quickly without going to a large warehouse type home improvement store. read more

This place is the best hardware store on the planet. (By planet, I mean Concord) I went in the other day for a part for my bed frame, an obscure little set screw and some other really specialty items. They have EVERYTHING. Reasonable prices and incredible services. Shame on the big boxes for not having this kind of service. read more

Close by and very well stocked. The employees are very helpful and knowledgable. Its a very big Ace hardware. Lots of sales and the prices aren't bad for being a smaller chain store. read more

They are pricier than Home Depot but the customer service was Amazing! There was always someone asking me if I needed help and taking me to the location of the product. It's worth it to pay a little more! read more

I had to write a review !! Everyone in this store is very friendly and caring they ask you if you need help right away.!!! I've never had a bad experience here. Love little hardware stores !!!! Keep up the great work !!! read more

This is MY ACE!! we frequently use this location for all of our property management needs. What we need varies from one property to another and the friendly staff is always there to help. Claire is one of our favorites!! thanks Bill's ACE hardware. read more

Great people willing to help you and have vast knowledge of their area. A great place where you feel welcome and have many tools and miscs to your needs. read more

Everyone was very nice and helpful, but the most helpful was Katie P. I had an odd item I was trying to fix at home and the cashier said I should ask Katie, I found Katie told her my problem and she came up with excellent solution for fixing my blinds. Thank you so much. read more

It was amazing! Employees everywhere I turned as I looked for what I needed & not a single one asked to help me. Many of them made eye contact with me as I wandered throught the store looking for what I needed & did not so much as say hello. I guess since I'm not a regular there or a girl in shorts, I'm not worthy of the attention of the "helpful" staff. The girl working the cash register made me feel as if I was bothering her, which was odd because she was super friendly with the people ahead of me. No greeting just a mumbled"do you have an ace rewards card?",no eye contact & a mumbled "thank you" as she shoved my receipt in my hand. I guess the "great" customer service is reserved for certain people,I guess a 6'4" guy walking all over the store obviously looking for something aisle by aisle & encountering several staff members along the way is pretty easy to miss. I looked a few directly in the eyes & waited to be asked if I needed help & they looked at me & walked right past. This is my usual experience here,I would only come here for convenience & thought perhaps the service might improve for me. I will NEVER set foot in this place again and I will definitely tell friends & family to be sure to go anywhere but here. The staff should be told to treat EVERYONE that walks through the doors exactly the same. It shouldn't matter if it's old Bob who comes in everday or some cute girl in shorts. I was flat out ignored & treated poorly. read more

This place is always helpful and pleasant. The employees always seem very happy and eager to help you with any needs you may have. They just about anything you could need for a do it yourself project. read more

Just wanted to say how pleased I am with their customer service. K.K. in the paint department went above and beyond to help me. She was very knowledgeable and patient. Will definitely go back! read more

I have always gone to Ace Hardware 1st for my shopping. Always have had friendly service. The people are knowledgeable. If one does not have the answer, they find someone that does. I like supporting a local business. If they don't have what I need, then I go somewhere else. read more

This is a very nice Ace Hardware. I have never had a problem with long lines, finding items that I need, or requesting help. There is a gentleman who is constantly present , wandering the isles asking if people need assistance, and I find this an extremely wonderful way that a business should be run. It is just like the old days, when you need he'll there are people willing to give you the time of day. Other than the store needing an update on the isles, I would say this place is top notch. read more

I come to this store all the time and have been help by with all kinds of employees. Today I was help by a very young beautiful women with an amazing smile, I think her name was FAVI but I'm not to sure. Anyways she helped me to whatever I needed and she knew almost everything she must be the big Brains at the store. Her knowledge is incredible. The bosses did a good job on hiring someone like her and they need to give her a raise because in my eyes, what I see in her, she really really deserves it. Good job ace hardware you guys got an excellent worker. read more

Pricey alternative to HD or Lowes. But sometimes it works out. This store is very big for a Ace.

Katie was an amazing help . Was both knowledgeable and patient with me and my plumbing needs. Kudos all around. Will come back here for all my hardware needs read more

The Clayton rd. store in Concord has KK. KK should get a raise as well as a promotion to run the store. KK is why the Concord store rocks. I give the on-line fill orders team a ZERO, no stars! I ordered a fan I truly needed under a time constraint and I never got an email back that my fan was ready, even though it was in stock! The on-line order team never filled the order or brought it out for me to pickup. This needs to get looked into. There is no reason an order should take over 3 hours to fill. Heck it may not of ever been filled if it weren't for KK. I called and got KK on the phone. She was professional and extremely apologetic. She personally grabbed the item and saw to it that I pick it up from her. She saved me no longer wanting to use Ace Hardware for on-line orders. Mr. Bill, please have your staff concentrate and fill the on-line orders. 3hrs or longer is ridiculous. Thank you KK for saving the day. KK gets 5 stars, the on-line crew gets zero stars. read more

I recently moved into the area and every time I've gone to the store, the staff is incredibly friendly & helpful. They all seem like they enjoy working there. Coming from Southern CA where Home Depot & Lowes are king, its refreshing to find a good alternative that has more of a small-town feel while having everything that you need. I'm very happy that this Ace is nearby. read more

I was very pleased and impressed with the team work here at this ACE Store. Talk about customer service to the highest degree. Mario (supervisor) was ever so kind and spent about 45 mins. helping all my needs. Jacklyn was also helpful in supporting Mario and Thomas the store manager was the delightful touch during and post with professional thank you. One stop shop. Go here and you will see what I experienced. I will definitely go back. Best, Amir. read more

Prefect a lovely place .. I already wrote my review on my check in detail ...walking in to this store I felt welcome and people know what they doing ... Special thanks to Bob for assisting me to found all my items I came in for ...good good read more

Triple Yea !!! 1. Found what I needed at Bill's Ace (seriously! a replacement special duty light switch) 2. I was actually able to remove the old and replace with new - my wife says, "See, you CAN fix things!" 3. Although I forget my $5 coupon, KATIE wrote up a special tag "forgot coupon" and I got $5 off purchase (cashier thought it a bit weird that I had a Snickers candy bar labeled "CONFUSED" while buying electrical parts !! Thanks Katie ! read more

This place always has what I need! but seems like you pay for that aspect of it too! some of the staff there are very helpful while the younger staff seem to have no customer service skills! I keep going back here because of they always have what I'm looking for. read more

Perry was great in helping with the purchase of new WEBER grill. He was proactive and on-top of the entire order, purchase and delivering of my new grill thanks. Customer service was above my expectations. read more

Bill's in Concord is the place to go for anything you are looking for to fix, build or just improve around the office or home! Helpful staff, good prices and a great selection. I totally am impressed that they all have headsets on to communicate with each other to expedite things needed. I brought in my propane tank to be filled and they called a guy in the back to pick it up front, fill it and then bring it back to me all within minutes! Way to go Bill's! read more

I have to give Bill credit. After seeing my review, he wrote a response and indicated that things weren't going as well as he would like in this store, and he's contacted the manager about my review. I would expect things to improve, and I'll continue to shop there for the vast majority of my hardware needs. read more

I went in to pick out paint and was really pleased with the service I recieved. The two people who work at the paint counter (I believe their names are Louie and Ann) are extremely helpful and friendly. In addition to the great service, I was also thrilled to learn that they sell Benjamin Moore paint! The check out clerk was incredibly friendly as well. I'm happy to have a small hardware store with such great service in our neighborhood! read more

I love my local Ace Hardware. The service is excellent and they have most everything you need to get things done around the house. This store has a more local home town feel to it and I like that. Also they are known to give back to the community by supporting local events with discounts and water donations. Support your Concord Ace Hardware. read more

Very friendly staff. Its a very family oriented store and I would def. go back if I'm ever in the area.

I usually have a great experience at this hardware store however this time was very different. I am horrified that as a loyal customer I was given incredibly terrible customer service by Suzanne. This experience left me humiliated and very angry that I was treated with such disrespect. It only takes one bad experience to ruin an impression and Suzanne accomplished that. Very disappointed to say I will not be returning. read more

I purchased a bar here with four chairs. They were not milled correctly and we could not put them together so we had to bring them back. Paul could not have been more helpful! He was so friendly and he actually gave us four chairs that were already assembled. Appreciate the great service! read more

We have been coming to this store for years. The lady in the bbq dept went out of her way to help us we were looking for a propane connector. However when I checked out I could not pull up my coupon for 50% off one item, the cashier on 11/27 at 10am lane 6, dark hair was extremely rude. I could feel she was frustrated I could not pull up coupon on my phone so I said forget it. And par for the course I leave the store and I find the coupon, so I went back in got in line and unfortunately returned to her lane. She was so rude, she said I'm" you're making me do a return? I hope everything is in the box" I explained yes and it's only for one item so why do you have to return everything?" She could t figure out how to do return, I could feel how mad she was. I asked her if I should go to another checker. She would not even speak to me. If it wasn't a 15$ savings i wouldn't have bothered. She knew about the coupon, because she said she couldn't do it without the barcode. Nonetheless I left there feeling very belittled and told her "this is why people don't shop small business and look for my review on Yelp because this was terrible treatment of a customer. She had 2 people trying to help her because she was so flustered. ACE you really need to educate her on customer service this is not how you treat people much less customers. read more

What service, selection and quality! So very different from a lousy competitor that might sound like OSH. Patient with my description of a part that "looks like this", service seems to come first at this store. Worth challenging my hardware fears of too much testosterone and mystery mechanical thingies. read more
