Oscar and Gardena E&L was a referral from another friend and they came highly recommended. Oscar came out a couple of days before they actually installed the charger to check on the fuse box and location of installation. He was able to quote me a decent price and to go buy some of the fuses and switches for the project. Two days later Oscar and Rios came in and took about 3 hours to install the new Tesla charger. All in all a good and efficient install on their end. All the dust and trash was removed, the wall was cut into and then closed up, and they were in and out in a few hours. Good service, decent prices and very honest work. Highly recommended.

It's almost like they are doing you a favor answering a question or helping you find a part. And I got the feeling that they have a sense of joy when they tell you they do not have the part you came in for in stock. If I could leave them a ZERO Star review I would have, but the lowest option is one Star. I would not go back there again!

As an Electrical Contractor I have never had this issue in other supply stores. Their argument was because how would they know it's not an old one even though I presented them with a receipt. They also said because I had installed it and had cut the tabs. How else would I know it was defected if I didn't Install it and I did cut the tabs because I installed it in a bank of 5 dimmers.

Yelp review -- 0 star Title: Open on a holiday, but terrible…read morecustomer service and a threatening confrontation I stopped into South Bay Industrial Hardware today (Nov 11, 2025) because they were open on the holiday and I needed a can of Fix-A-Flat. The owner, John, completed the sale but the can I bought had a leak at the top of the hose -- something I've used before and never had an issue with. I explained that the tube looked tightly packed and might have been damaged in packaging, and asked to exchange it. Instead of listening, John stared at the can suspiciously and acted as if I was being dishonest. He reluctantly let me exchange it but warned that if the replacement didn't work I wouldn't receive a refund. He grew rude and condescending during the interaction, which was upsetting. After I left the register I said, while still in the store, "Thanks for not trusting me." He laughed. I regret that I used a bad word once I was outside. What followed was alarming: he came running out of the store and tried to grab the exchanged can out of my hands. He threatened to call the police and -- while I was recording from about nine feet away -- said into the phone, "she's right next to my face." At one point he would not state what he thought my ethnicity was, which felt explicitly hostile and discriminatory. I have video of the incident and plan to preserve it and report what happened. I'm sharing this to warn others about the poor, confrontational customer service and the intimidating behavior I experienced. I will not recommend this business based on how I was treated today.

I needed something quickly, so I decided to stop by this location instead. My first visit here was a great experience. The employees were attentive and greeted me as soon as I walked in. Every time I've come back since then, I've received the same excellent customer service. I especially want to recognize Andrew and Karla. They always go above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need. If something is out of stock or I realize I need something else, they take the time to help me come up with creative alternatives and find the best solution for my project. Their knowledge, patience, and willingness to help have made the remodeling process so much easier. I truly appreciate his outstanding customer service and highly recommend this location.
