A week or two ago, I was browsing around on Facebook Marketplace when a listing from this pawn shop caught my eye. It was advertising a shiny bass trombone complete with mouthpiece and case, all for a very good price. I couldn't come by and check it out right away, so I messaged them with some questions first. They responded quickly and went out of their way to take some more pictures of the trombone so I could confirm what I needed to know. I came in the other day and was greeted with a warm welcome. An associate led me to where the trombone was displayed, and she handed it to me so I could inspect it before I made up my mind. I decided to buy it for a smidge below their asking price, and the payment process afterwards went quite smoothly. Asides from my positive experience here as a customer, I will note that I was pretty impressed by how clean the place was. Everything out on the sales floor was neatly arranged and organized. Lots of jewelry, tools, musical instruments, handbags, etc. on display for your viewing pleasure. Items are reasonably priced, and you can tell that they are well maintained while they're here. I look forward to coming back! read more

Diamond Pawn Shop - Pawn Shops Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Came in with broken jewelry for sale and the man said that the only way the thin chain could have been broken is if I snatched it off someone's neck. Unbelievably rude and unfounded. This was a while ago but I still think about it. read more

I would highly recommend this business! I've come to diamond pawn shop for multiple needs now and they have always been priced fair, acted professional and had great customer service. I've bought a ring from them. They turned a long necklace into a bracelet and a shorter necklace, resized a ring for me, and repaired a broken prong on a diamond ring. All very affordable pricing for these requests. I frequent often just to have them clean up my jewelry as well. Thanks! read more

Unless you have the unfortunate need to use their services, I would avoid this shop like the plague! I went in to look around and the prices on USED merchandise is at or above retail price! I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not! Absolutely nothing to buy here folks, go to a retail store and pay the same price and get yourself a manufacturers warranty! Oh, and the rudest, most unpleasant lady behind the counter! I could only feel sorry for her! read more

Worst customer service. They belittle you and talk to you as if you are stupid. Work on teaching your daughter how to speak to people. Do not recommend this place. If I could give you negative stars I would! read more

Wish I could give it zero stars. The grumpy old man at the counter doesn't allow cellphones to be out or used in store. Was trying to watch a video on a telescope that they had in store to see if it was good. Never returning. read more

everything here is full blown retail and there not in any hurry to sale. The reason i gave them 4 stars is because they fixed my ring for $50 bucks when kay jewlers wanted $300. they were very helpful. the owner steve diamond gave me a great deal. they do all there jewelry repair on there W. MAIN store. read more

I see several people comment about perceived racism with this shop. Hate to break it to you, they are rude to everyone. Their gun prices are insanely unrealistic. Well used and worn guns are listed at well above retail prices. Every time you ask to look at an item behind the counter or in the case, they act like you are the most demanding customer ever. God forbid you ask the ladies behind the counter for assistance during their social hour, you will get the most reluctance help ever. I have no clue how this place stays open. Laundering money would probably be their best bet. Avoid the place. Go spend money at somewhere else that actually wants your business. read more

Very very rude ladies behind counter treated me as if they were better than me. Then basically kicked me out saying bye before I was even done looking around. I do not recommend this place read more

Don't go here. They will try to rip you off, offering 25% of prices paid. And they're prices for used goods are basically retail if not higher than retail. I do not recommend this place...I would select zero stars if that was an option. read more

Went in here to look at guns "on sale" because there was a sign outside. To my surprise there were NO guns on sale it's a ploy to get you to walk in. When inside the old man was helping me, I'm assuming he's the owner and while I'm looking at 1,500$ hand gun I asked him to see another one. His response was "I don't have all day to be showing you guns". I told him he obviously didn't want to make sale today so I walked out. After talking to a few people I've heard he's an asshole to most of the customers and employees. Needless to say I will never be returning and would not recommend this store to anyone!!!!! read more

Never sell anything to these guys unless you're white. Me & my friends did a test. We took the same item in a few weeks apart. First week my mexcian friend was quoted 85 dollars for the item. (This is an item that retails for 900 dollars & frequently sells used for 5-600) they offered him 90$ for it & were dismissive & rude. Second week my black friend went in & they accused him of stealing at first & threatened to call the police, then spitefully offered him 50$ under the table without a drivers licenceor paperwork done so it could be "off the books". Then I myself went in the next week (white male under 40) I was greeted with kindness & they even offered to help me unload the item after offering me 350 dollars.. this is all the same item! If you're a racist bigot I guess this store is for you! Hope this helps stop this awful perpetuation of hate. read more

I went to this establishment after I got a few complaints from my subordinates about racism. I went to inquire about a firearm. I am a middle aged African American male. I make around 90k a year but when I walked into the store I was not greeted by any personnel. No one said anything to me the whole time I was there. 4 Hispanic families came in after me and got service immediately with a smile. They have two locations and the same occurrence happened at both it was like I was invisible to them. I served 10 years in the Marines before I became a government civilian and I have never gotten service like that even in other countries! Please take this into consideration and see how they serve natural Americans vs immigrants yourself. This type of customer service angers me and I have told many of my subordinates on the Air Force Base to steer clear of this establishment. I am working to get the word out to more organizations. Thank you for reading and your cooperation. I would have given them 0 stars but I couldn't so one star is not accurate. Thanks immigration officers I guess you forgot about Santa Maria "The All American City". read more

If I could give no stars I would, the ladies behind the counter are absolute jerks and could of sold me a rifle instead I went to Dead on firearms and was more pleases read more
