I have been going to harbor frieghts for all my tools I think for a decade now. This location only…read moreabout 3 years since I bought and renovated my rv here in El Cajon. I needed a lot of tools and I always came here or Home Depot after when harbor freights didn't have what I needed. 90% of my car engine work was done with harbor frieght tools they are cheap and reliable. I have had my tool sets for about 7 years or so and they work fine. The tool magnetic organizers for my shed work amazing. Car scanner from Maddox Amazing! The magnetic cup holder on my blackstone everything comes from here and I will always come here until I die!

On August 22, 2026, my wife made a purchase at the Harbor Freight location in El Cajon. Assistant…read moreManager Brian checked her out using my Harbor Freight credit card. Brian told her the charge did not go through. My wife showed him the Harbor Freight credit card app, which clearly showed that the charge had gone through. I then called Synchrony Bank, the company that issues the Harbor Freight credit card, while she was still at the store. The Synchrony representative confirmed directly to Brian that the charge had gone through and cleared. Despite both the app and Harbor Freight's own credit card company confirming the charge, Brian would not allow my wife to leave with the merchandise. He insisted the system showed otherwise and said he needed to charge my card again. I was obviously concerned about being charged twice. Brian assured me that the second charge would not go through and specifically told me that if there were any problems, I should contact him and he would take care of it personally. Well, the second charge went through. I was charged twice. I called the El Cajon store today to get this resolved. Brian wasn't available, so I spoke with Kevin, who identified himself as the Store Manager. Instead of honoring what his Assistant Manager had promised or trying to correct a duplicate charge created at his store, Kevin's response was essentially that there was nothing he could do and I needed to deal with my credit card company. That's unacceptable. Now, because of what Harbor Freight employees themselves described as a glitch in their system, I have to file a credit card dispute, provide documentation, do all the legwork, and potentially wait up to 60 days for the dispute process--all because their store charged my card twice after I specifically warned them that the first charge had already gone through. What makes this even more frustrating is that this is the second time I've had this happen at Harbor Freight. When it happened at the Lemon Grove location, they actually stepped up and took care of the problem. The El Cajon location, however, apparently thinks a customer should simply deal with the consequences of their system malfunction. Mistakes and computer glitches happen. What determines good customer service is how you handle the mistake afterward. Brian at least assured me he would personally handle it if the second charge posted. Kevin's response today was basically, deal with your credit card company. Harbor Freight charged my card twice. I shouldn't have to spend my time filing disputes and fighting to recover money that should never have been charged twice in the first place. Very disappointing customer service from the El Cajon location.

They had no water and the cages were very hot.I asked the man why he had the chickens in such horrible conditions and he told me that he was collecting chickens to roam his sanctuary. When I was in Tractor Supply I asked a couple employees what was going on wth the chickens. I was told it was a rooster roundup. if you had purchased baby chicks at Tractor Supply and they turned out to be roosters or simply unwanted hens you could give them to this man and he would take them to his sanctuary. When I returned to my car there was a second man handling the chickens very roughly. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was going to kill and eat them all. Then he cursed at me and asked me if I eat chicken and I told him that I do not. Then he and the other man both cursed me. What a horrible deception for your customers. I have shopped here frequently for my animals but never again.

One of the the things that comes with homeownership is you will have to paint something eventually…read more After years of trying different paints, and since Frazee was sold to Standard Brands, I heard good things about this place from a handyman/plumber friend I knew. He wasn't the best at his trade but he did know the difference in quality paints. Undoubtedly this brand is the best paint on the market I've tried. Frazee was very good too, now non-existent. (I even went to Standard Brands to buy some of the old Frazee paints till they were gone) So, I'm really satisfied with this paint. Goes on thin but has very good coverage. Usually do 2 coats, then touch ups after. You will spend about $45 bucks a gallon for interior paint but to me worth every penny. I've tried Behr and only like a couple finishes. And not really cheaper and goes on thicker. Which I don't like. That's what they sell at Home Depot. I did have an issue one time where my quart of touch up did not match the original, and showed them photos of the difference on my 3 walls. They gladly gave me a free full gallon off my original color! That right there sold me for life.
