I have given a number of positive reviews. But when a business needs called out, I will do it…read more Customer service at this location is horrendous. Employees either never can answer basic questions or else they get ticked that you need help (evening crew I am looking at you). If you want to go to a Westlake, drive the extra drive to the location on College at Quivera or on over to the Antioch location. Both will be more than willing to try and help. Because IF this location has what you need, you won't be able to find it thanks to the cheery employees!

I usually love the smaller hardware stores, especially when I am trying to get in and out as…read morequickly as possible. However, I'm not a big fan of these Westlake Ace. They don't seem to have quite as good of a selection as other Westlake's, but I could have just been missing stuff. Where it is lacking, compared to other Westlake's, is the service. Usually, I am bombarded by service as soon as I walk in to any Westlake's, but not here. It seemed most of the people working when I went were high school kids, and they lacked a real desire to approach the customer, instead just taking care of the tasks assigned. I wandered the store trying to find what I wanted, and when I did, they only had one version of it, and I wasn't satisfied. So, I left empty handed. I'll check out other Westlake and other Ace locations, but despite this being the closest one to my house, I'm disappointed to say I'll probably steer clear of it.

Of late I've dipped my double-handed draw knife into the art of wood working, and Rockler has the…read moregoods! They've got nearly anything and everything an aspiring young wooden boy would need to get those elbows sweaty and oiled up. The assortment of random rare wood pieces was the most surprising, yet the board selection is formidable. I bought an ice-cream scoop kit that demands you build it a handle; made a handle for it out of some 25 year-aged osage orange I had sitting around. The kit broke in like 5 ways, so... I don't know, still a great place for wood working enthusiasts. Tools galore, they have so much to play with in there; honestly, first time in, and I spent more than an hour walking around and touching things. They also have a great email system set up, so sign up for that. The location is a little Narnia-esq, what with the lefts and the rights and the straights, and don't get me started on the parking. But worth it I'd surmise. Work some wood; it'll do you good.

**AMAZING customer experience story**…read more The other day I came in looking for a pair of heavy-duty scissors to cut off a piece of plastic that was hanging down from my car making a terrible scraping noise. After a minute of wandering around, an employee, Patrick, asked if I was finding everything alright. I told him what I was looking for and why I needed them. He lead me to the scissors, none of them big or strong enough for what I needed. He asked if I had a utility knife. I said no. He then pulled his out and asked if we could go look at it together, and "maybe save me some money." He then proceeded to, in the 33 degree weather, crouch down to cut this super difficult piece of plastic off of my car for me!! He then explained to me what it was and even suggested his mechanic. It was literally so kind. Instead of just trying to sell me some cheap scissors that we both knew wouldn't work, he took time out of his day to help me with this, at no benefit to him. Y'all have gained a lifetime customer because of Patrick's amazing customer service. Thank you!

Run farrr away!!!! Do not use Lowe's for any type of home installation projects. You will spend…read morehours project managing the job you paid them to do, you will spend hours in store only for them to make excuses as to why they are not able to find the custom order parts THEY ordered. They also won't order the correct product for you, which delays it more and expect you to store the material they do have at your house. The project will be two months late with the 3rd party installation team frustrated as well with how poorly managed Lowe's is. You will ask them to be compensated/refunded and they will offer less than 5% for their screw up and never return phone calls. We have used both Home Depot and Lowe's and home depot is far superior. They do not care about customers nor your project or being on time. The installation person they send out for the initial portion to show their options has zero follow up or follow through once you approve the product and sign the document. They don't offer any help or guidance when things go wrong. The store manager also does not give you the time of day, even on a slow Sunday while you wait for over an hour. This was all for one front door- just a slab with two sidelights! Lowe's was awful, we will never use them again. I doubt we ever shop there again.

They were fully staffed, which is nice to see on a Sunday afternoon. Felicia is always fantastic and welcoming and I am always happy to see her! Diversity: 2/10 I do enjoy that there are lots of women working at this location, including two women managers. I would love to see more minority employees working at the store. Prices: 9/10 You're not going to find super awesome quality in their tools but their prices are awesome for items like tape measures and paint rollers. They are overpriced on flashlights and some gardening tools, but we have had great luck on everyday tool items. They are also the plug on painters tape. Location: 8/10 HF is never crowded, even during peak times. It's easy to get in and out even though the parking lot is kind of small. It's right on Santa Fe (135th) which is always busy no matter what time of the day. Overall: 9/10 HF is a great place to find super affordable tools that will get you through whatever project you are working on. You can never go wrong with a visit to this location and they are always fully stocked. I recommend.
