    Been here a couple times now and got to say this place legit a good place to be. You don't necessarily have to be a pro skater or be in the skating community to enter. The environment is inclusive and friendly. Has a good selection of skate shoes, clothing, and boards/accessories. Also able to grab some SB dunks for retail instead of paying the ridiculous resell prices. Overall 10/10

    If you are looking for that true authentic Southern California Skate shop I highly recommend swinging by Furnace. It's located along Valley View in a shopping center. They have an awesome selection of different clothes by everyone from Nike SB , Former , Polar , Stussy and many more . Staff were friendly and helpful. I watched the owner Randy help a first timer put together and build his first board. Very cool watching the kids excitement . He couldn't wait to go out and put the wheels to the pavement. Of course a huge well curated collection of different boards on the wall. And don't worry if you can't find one on the wall they have even more down below. I will be coming back.

    Small skate shop in Buena Park. I stopped by just to browse and left with a new set of cruiser wheels and some stickers.

    My daughter and I went to purchase our first skateboards. We were relying on my husband's recommendations before we walked in as he is very familiar with skateboarding but the man in the shop was very knowledgeable and provided great insight. I never felt pressured to buy anything unnecessary or felt talked down to. Overall it was a great experience and we are stoked to start learning how to skateboard!

    My boyfriend and I stopped in today, the following is his review on the shop. "Furnace has always been a staple since the Seal Beach days. Got a fresh set up. The customer service was nothing shy of legitness. Thrasher down for life Thanks Randy, you da man!"-Jeromi

    Awesome New Trucks and Wheels

    This was my first time here and I can't say enough about how awesome Gem was. I brought in my Vintage Skateboard from the 80's and I knew I needed New Trucks and Wheels. Gem fitted my Skateboard all up and my Niece was ecstatic on how cool it looked and how smooth is rolled. Gem Thanks for your Expertise and awesome personality.

    Friendly staff. Informative. Good vibes. Clean shop. Got hooked up with a solid set up by Ben. Highly recommend this place! Called first to confirm if they're open since it is rare to see a small retail store having later hours. It's not a crime to want to close earlier than their posted time though.

    After I posted my review, Bruce called me the very next day. He explained that the day we visited…read morehis store, he was dealing with a difficult situation at the business after unexpectedly losing an employee, which contributed to how things were handled. More importantly, he sincerely apologized for our experience and invited us back so he could make things right. Bruce offered to take back my daughter's skates and replace them with a different pair to ensure she was completely comfortable and happy. I realize that because my daughter had already skated in them, he would likely take a financial loss since they could no longer be sold as new. As a business owner myself, I understand the impact of that and appreciated his willingness to stand behind his customer service. At this point, it has been about two weeks, and my daughter has adjusted to the skates and is no longer complaining about discomfort. Because of that, I decided to keep the skates rather than exchange them. While our initial experience was frustrating, I believe it's important to recognize when a business owner takes responsibility and genuinely tries to make things right. Bruce showed that he cares about his customers and his reputation by offering a solution, even if it meant taking a loss. For that reason, I am updating my review to 5 stars and appreciate his efforts to ensure customer satisfaction and earn our future business.

    I went to Epic BMX yesterday because I needed help with a bike crank arm. I only needed one crank…read morearm replaced, but before really looking it over, I was told the pedal was stripped, then that the crank arm was stripped as well. The shop tried to sell me both crank arms, then said the chain would not fit the new arms, so I would also need a new chain and another part. I was told the size was traditional, which made me question why so many extra parts were suddenly needed. When I asked if we could just replace the one broken arm, he kept saying the arms "wouldn't match." I had to keep asking for clarification before it became clear that he meant they would not match visually, not that they would not fit or function together. I was not worried about how it looked -- I just needed the bike to work. Then I was told the other arm was bent and that everything should be replaced. The quote was $120 just for the crank arms. After checking online, traditional-size crank arms were around $20. I understand shops need to mark up parts and charge for labor, but this felt excessive and like I was being sold parts I did not actually need. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back. This could have been a chance to earn a long-term customer, but the experience left me feeling taken advantage of.

Know your shit and get what you want. the prices are ridiculously low and the stock is unbelievable.. as far as the guy complaining about him knowing they dont carry size 13s...

He has no reason to lie to you about anything.. why would he pass the chance at selling you shoes or anything else for that matter.. stop complaining about service when service does not matter, you are not owed a smile, a handshake, a greeting by anyone least of all in a skate shop.
