After searching relentlessly online and in all the huge home improvement stores I decided to stop by Johnson's and just see what they had, they ended up having the hinges and everything I needed at a great price and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I had ordered so many hardware parts online that didn't fit and wasted so much time and money going all over the Inland Empire and even OC looking for these parts. I couldn't believe the little hardware store in my town ended up having them the whole time. I felt pretty stupid for not visiting here first but now I know to just skip all the run around and come here. Since then I've become a regular at this store. Most smaller mom & pop type stores have way higher prices than the big box stores but not here, the prices are good and I always find what I'm looking for. I totally wanted to give 5 stars but I had to take off one star for the parking situation, it's parallel street parking only. If it's a busy time of day then there is no parking close by and I have to either skip it and come back later or park way down or across the street. I've also gotten trapped in a space with idiots parking too close in front and behind me. Besides the parking deal everything else here is 5 stars. I'm a biggie on customer service and this place blows all others out of the water. They're great.

What a great selection I found. Not just the part I wanted, but so much more. I went back yesterday hoping to find a stem extension that I could not find anywhere on the internet. I approached a clerk and asked, and he took me right to it. I explained that the replacement kit I purchased on line did not fit quite the same as the one I am replacing. He told me of its compatibility with another more "readily available" line of faucets. He seemed to know a lot about plumbing. It turns out he is the owner. He and everyone I have dealt with there are very approachable, helpful, and knowledgeable. This is now my go to store for all my DIY projects. Their selection is remarkable and the staff just seem to enjoy their job. It is 20 miles from home, but it is exactly what needs to be. In a time of online ordering and tracking numbers, it is great to go to a place with fair prices, great selection, and impeccable service!!

For years I've often found myself stopping by this local hardware store when some household item at…read moreour cabin is in need of repair or replenishing, and most of the time they have what I'm looking for. In the few instances when a certain item is out of stock, it's usually available on my next visit. (I'm up here every couple of weeks.) I've always found the post's personnel pleasant and competent, quickly directing me to the aisle of an item I can't locate (if not actually personally walking me over to its whereabouts). Additionally, in some cases, they will also let me know if they are running low on an item that I may be needing more than one of since the current inventory is limited to what's out on the shelf. This was the case with some fly traps I came in for on my most recent visit. (I guess flies are a problem in the general area at present). Prices are competitive and I can often find multiple choices at different price points. The only thing in recent memory that I couldn't find there was an Adventure Pass for parking along the forest's roadsides or trailheads - but several of the other local businesses that used to carry them also no longer do, as well. Don't neglect visiting here first if in need of a certain piece of hardware. The store is not as big as the major chains by any means, but there's a good chance you'll find what you need without going down the mountain. That's a good thing to be aware of - especially when dealing with an emergency repair!

They have everything you could possibly want and it sure beats driving down the hill. Yes, prices are 30% more expensive than Home Depot down the hill, but you're paying for convenience. I purchased about a thousand dollars worth of material recently for a home project. They deliver for free on the mountain, but the lumber wasn't as good of quality as I was hoping -- the plywood seemed OK (seemed to have some rot in the middle). Kinda surprised given the price. Another time, I went in the store at 450 pm and whatever you do, God help you if you come in at that time. Everyone wants to split at 4:59 .....they'll be pushing you out the door no matter how much crap you desire to buy. RFL works well for many things, but every now and then you'll have an experience that leaves a bit to be desired. Good place to visit in a pinch.

When I walked in I was greeted instantly my customer service where I did my return. The return was easy and quick. I was greeted a second time when walking the aisles looking for the item I needed. It would be so nice if all the Home Depot's had the same basic layout so it took a little while to find the bolts. Check out was quick, there was no line and I did self checkout. The girls working self checkout were very friendly and also greeting customers as they entered the store. I always appreciate great customer service. Hopefully these bolts fit!

First, I want to note that I truly enjoy Harbor Freight Tools, and this feedback reflects only this…read morespecific experience--not the 99% of positive interactions I've had at other locations. Our company is outfitting technicians with toolboxes that include approximately $3,000 worth of tools per set. This is our first time doing so, and I was hoping for some guidance from the Fontana team. Upon arriving at the store, I met a very helpful floor associate who began pointing me in the right direction. Given the size of the order, I asked whether I could leave my list of items and have someone follow up with me in the next few days. I assumed that a $3,000 purchase--and the likelihood of future orders of similar size--might be of interest to the store. Unfortunately, a female employee interjected abruptly and stated, "We don't do that," followed by, "We do not do your personal shopping." While I understand store policies, the delivery lacked empathy or acknowledgment of how labor intensive it would be for one person to locate roughly 50 items on their own. Because of this interaction, I decided to take both my current business and future purchases elsewhere.

So, for months now I have been waiting for a new popular tool (like everyone else) to be back in stock at my local HF stores. Since there was a big discount for a brand name tool and me being an ITC member I wanted to grab one while the ITC pre-sale was on before going to the regular customers next week. So, I called my store in Chino Hills, then Chino, Montclair and finally La Puente trying to see if they had one in stock. None of them did but La Puente said Fontana had 3 pieces in store. So I called the store to verify they had one and the employee that picked up the phone confirmed they had at least one on hand. I asked if he could put my name on it and I will make the 31 mile trip one way in traffic to pick it up. He told me it is first come first serve and will not put my name on it. I asked to talk to a manger and he mentioned the answer will be the same. I waited 5 minutes and called back hoping to get someone else and the same person picked up the phone. I could not talk him into it. I told him I am not going to drive 31 miles in traffic one way to find out it was sold before I got there. The employee was not rude but did not seem to care if I came in or not. Over the years I have not had another local HF have an issue holding a tool so I can come and pick it up. So, I ended up and called HF corporation in Calabasas to voice my frustration. The customer service agent was not sure why they would not hold it for me but mentioned she could not call the store to ask them to put it to the side. So about 30 minutes have passed since my second call to the Fontana store and I decided to call one last time. This time a different employee picked up the phone and was more than happy to get me the store manager. I explained to Rudy what I was trying to do and he ended up and personally went and got ahold of the tool and put it to the side for me. 1.5 hours later in traffic and I was there picking up the tool. I want Rudy to know that I really appreciate him helping out where the other employee would not. For that reason, I am giving this store four stars. If I did not have an issue from the start this would have been a five star review. For the store it should have been no big deal to put it on the side with my name on it since I would have left right away. Even if it was for a hold time of 2 hours. For me it was a 2 hour and 45 minute round trip so I really should not have had to deal with the issue the first two times I called in. If this is a company wide policy not to hold a tool for a customer then it needs to be enforced across the whole chain of stores. If this is only with the Fontana store you might want to reconsider for future customers. Thanks again Rudy!
