Yes, I trim my own yard. So when my youthful Stihl Trimmer no longer cooperated, the team at…read moreKaimuki Ace came to my rescue! While they carry a number of Stihl Trimmers for sale, Tyler told me that all I needed was the replacement head. Sadly I came at a time that it wasn't on the shelf so he offered to special order the part for me. When it arrived, Tyler gave me a courtesy call to come in and pick it up. When I arrived, Roy was the helpful associate. I paid for the part, which was very reasonable!! Then I asked for help to remove the broken head and install the new one. Just like that, all done and I'm back to trimming my own yard :) Thanks guys, I really appreciate your stellar customer service!

Strong stuff... When…read moreyou get crafty many times I head to the hardware store as what I call beginner tools aren't just enough like I have my Dremel to drill, PVC pipes to make a photo backdrop, chains for a makeshift lock as being creative not only does saves you money but solves issues in the simplest ways that works. Today it was a simple just some acetone as I wanted to wipe off paint and the basic store bought stuff just won't do it and as small as this shop seems to be they do have it all and was very easy to find than the larger ones as it literally took me a minute to find it and a minute to reach to the register without a wait and was on my way faster than taking the needed pics to show off this great Kailua location. If needed staff is very easy to find here but as I knew exactly what I wanted it was okay and parking in the back is spacious with short walks to the automatic doors is just nice to have a quick spot to find exactly what you need without being lost as I finished my project so easily. Thank you!

Called business to find out…read moreif they had a item that I needed person by the name or Ariel answered, I tried to provide him with the SKU number they had listed on their website so it would link it to the correct item, He said I need the description I cant pull it up by that SKU number, I asked wouldn't a SKU number be more efficient? he started to get upset, So I asked for a Manager on duty. Manager Maryann picked up the phone I tried to ask her the same question about the item I was looking for she had the same rude attitude not willing to address my concern nor providing me with any customer service. I asked Maryann to speak to the GM, She told me to call back at 7:30 and then hung up the phone not providing me with information on what I called the store for. Called the following morning to speak to the GM and Maryann had picked up and said he is not in and don't know when he will be in, so I had asked her, why did you tell me to call at 7:30am to speak to the GM she replied " are you calling to make trouble? your a trouble maker! stop making trouble you GIRL!" and hung up. This is not how any customer should be treated at all, I hope that Mike Cunningham the president and CEO of this store takes this kind of treatment from his staff towards possible customer's serious.

The neighborhood hardware store…read more In it's prior life, this little commercial complex consisted of a hardware store and a small supermarket. This site eventually became the City Mill location we know today. For residents in the immediate neighborhoods, this City Mill has a magnet draw for your hardware needs. They have decent sales and the staff is friendly and usually pretty knowledgable. They have a good selection of items for your hardware needs whether it be paint, tools, bathroom or kitchen fixtures, etc. They have a decent amount of parking, but it can get challenging at times. If in the Kaimuki area, definitely a place to check out for tour hardware needs.

This does not include power tools,building materials, spray paint. I had to ask a clerk to unlock the lockbox so I could purchase. I asked if it was included in the 20% off. I would get more. She said she did not know. I asked if she could ask. She said she could only bring item to cashier. I went with her and the cashier said "no, it's a padlock". I replied it's under the padlocks but it is not a padlock. She said the man upstairs said it is in the padlock area. I asked to see the manager. A man came by and I explained that I did not consider a lockbox a padlock and I won't buy a bucket because I have to pay full price. He said he understands and will mention it to the man upstairs. I said it is misleading and when is a lockbox considered a padlock? I guess only at City Mill.

Shout out to Kayli for all her help last night…read more So the other day I was cooking dinner for my dad & when I went into his refrigerator, I noticed it didn't seem that cold? But when I checked the freezer, it appeared that it was working properly. I asked my dad if the fridge was okay? And he in turned told me that it was, so I really didn't think anything more of it. Several days later, after shopping for some food for my dad, when I was putting some produce items into his fridge, I again asked him if the refrigerator was okay, then he finally told me "maybe something was wrong". I rechecked the settings on the refrigerator, rechecked the vents from the freezer, seals on the door, and everything appeared to be okay. Being that my dad's refrigerator was 11 years old (I remembered buying it in 2014), I guess it was time for a replacement. Luckily for me, November has rolled around and since a lot of folks will be feasting towards the end of November, "Black Friday" sales have started & Home Depot has their big "Black Friday" sales event for the entire month of November. At first I went to Best Buy, because I purchased the refrigerator & stove from there back in 2014, but upon arriving there, I couldn't get any help so I left the store & headed across the street to Home Depot. Upon lookin' at the fridges, I found a fridge that would fit in my dad's kitchen space & looked for a clerk to help me. Luckily I came across Kayli, and she was so helpful in processing my transaction. Timing was just right for me, as the delivery of the refrigerator was FREE due to the Black Friday sales, and I only had to pay $50 bucks for the removal of the old refrigerator. The refrigerator I purchased was in stock, so Saturday they will deliver it to our house. How's that for great service???!!! Much MAHALO Home Depot, and Kayli! You really helped us out of jam, as I realky needed a running refrigerator, especially since Thanksgiving is just around the corner!
