Well... I live close to here, went through a move. So, of course I need this place here and there…read more It is nice and small. I cannot stand the big box hardware stores. I don't know how to find what I need, too much stuff. Too many huge aisles. This location, I always get a great parking spot in front as it's never busy. In late summer, I remember coming here also to grab corn and other fresh farm things from a stand in the lot. Handy. Yummy. The down side here is that there is no one asking if you need help and staff at the register are not that knowledgeable. It's also very expensive. Selection not great (even re light bulbs) BUT, they do have some unique things that I've only seen here. Some in housewares, would make great gifts. I grabbed the mug I took a pic of below as an example. Anyways, I've bought many an item here and I know I'll be back. Convenience gets it 3 stars.

This hardware store is much improved since it became a Home Hardware (it used to be a Rona…read morecorporate store before Lowe's bought them out). It's now brighter and cleaner, more inviting. And although I miss the kitchen set up display, I do love the addition of the giftware section! This shop has a small-town, personal feel, which the larger chains are lacking. It's still not a huge store, and the customer service section (round desk in the centre of the store) is still where it used to be. At least this store sells some lumber, and tiles. And there's an area / room for contractors to do their business, too. The biggest bonus to me is that it's still Canadian! Bravo! I will be back.

Turned out they weren't quite good enough, so parts were ordered that took only two days to come in. Dryer works fine and is quieter than before. Definitely would use this company again. Good value, about 70% cheaper than buying a new dryer. hopefully I'll get another 12 years out of this dryer.

King Appliance tech set up an appointment and then called me back and actually came 3 hours before the appointed time. The diagnosis was thorough, but we determined that our 10-year old refrigerator was not worth repairing (parts alone were $500 and Samsung timeliness to get the parts was 4 weeks). King's service call charge was a modest $89 all taxes in. Definitely competent and honest, i would use them for any appliance reoairs.

This store has been open in this location for a couple / few months, and this was my first chance…read moreto take a look at it. Comparable to the Jysk store next door, which sells some similar items, this store goes a step further by offering small kitchen appliances. For me this is essential, as I look after the coffee club at work. This store sells a Krupps expresso maker with a milk frother attached, for just $79.00!! Altogether too often, I'm finding these attrociously expensive machines (in the range of $1,200, but some at $3,000 or higher!!) for some thing I would personally not use enough to make the tremendous expense worth while. So, I will have to bear this in mind, depending what happens with the machine we currently have which recently broke. Either I fix that one at a reasonable price, or I run back to this store and pick up this little cutie! Oh my, are we ever spoiled at work! Well, you need SOMEthing to look so forward to! Imagine having an office where you can get better coffee than else where! Yehaw!! Aside from that piece of wonderfulness, they have a wide variety of those hanger-things for your shower (where there's never enough shelving for the shampoos and other shower essentials). Of course, they sell bed sheets - individually, and in sets, bath towels, dishes, and all kinds of stuff. All in all, this was another fun place to wander around in and look around. I will occasionally go back. Update January 21, 2016: This page seems to have been moved to Ottawa Trainyards which is incorrect as I've never been there. This store is actually in Grant's Crossing in Kanata. I was in here today and found what I was looking for: a squeegee for the shower, and they offered quite a few to choose from, too.

Sergei saved me a lot of time and money and was very accommodating and professional. I will definitely be referring to all my friends and associates !

PRINCESS AUTO! lol! No car parts here and barely any accessories! More like a Lee Valley Tools. This company is Canadian which is cool and more stores are currently being built. Staff were friendly. Dog treats up front! The store was crammed full of stuff. Nothing fancy. Kind of surplus store meets Canadian Tire. Perfect for the Mr Fix It type guy.

I've got to pipe up! I love it that Princess Auto has opened up shop in the true west end of…read moreOttawa! If you are familiar with the brand, Princess Auto sells all kinds of car maintenance products, and shelving and other items to outfit your garage to do the repairs and maintenance required. They have things to fix your car: wheels and tires (after all, it's winter now... are your snow tires on?); doodads to check the pressure of your tires; trailer hitches; and all and sundry for the DIY car enthusiast. So why do *I* like it when I don't know the right side of a wrench? Because they are Canadian owned and operated, and they sell work gloves and those heating things to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter. I go there maybe every 3-4 months to check out what is on display. It's different than a hardware store, but also good and useful.
