We've typically liked shopping at Carter Bros Ace in Reno because of the convenient location, even…read morethough their prices are noticeably higher than other hardware stores. Unfortunately, our recent experiences have been frustrating enough to make us reconsider. On 11/02, we made a purchase and noticed afterward that we were overcharged. After reviewing the receipt, we had to go back and were refunded nearly $26 from a $72 total. Mistakes happen, but we appreciated the refund being processed correctly. However, things got worse when we saw a charge from the store on our credit card dated 11/28--even though neither of us had visited the store that day. We tried repeatedly to get in touch with someone who could explain the charge, but every time we called, the employee who answered said the person who could help wasn't in and to call back the next day. This went on for several days with no progress. Eventually, my husband went into the store, hoping for some answers. Unfortunately, he was again told that no one was available to help. There was no effort to take down our information, no concern shown, no follow-up, and no offer to pass along the issue to a manager. After getting nowhere with the store, we ended up disputing the charge with our bank. We're disappointed by how this was handled. If you shop here, definitely double-check your receipts and monitor your credit card for any unexplained charges. The convenience of a local store only goes so far when the customer service doesn't measure up.

Love this small but mighty hardware store and their great customer service!

Sometimes a quick hardware run turns into an unexpected test of patience. On December 5, 2025 at…read morearound 5:15 PM, a friendly cashier called the manager over because two clearance items were incorrectly priced. One item wasn't marked at all, and the other showed a $10 sticker with an additional 50% off. When I scanned the barcode in the Ace Hardware app, the item rang up as $2.99, so I kindly requested a price match based on Ace's own listed pricing. The manager entered the interaction abruptly, avoided eye contact, and loudly exclaimed "What the F***"--a remark heard by several customers in nearby lines. This was both unprofessional and unnecessary. He then insisted the online price was inaccurate and attempted to charge an incorrect amount ($31.99!!), even after I showed the product information. I ultimately ordered the items for in-store pickup at the correct price, but the situation could have been resolved quickly and respectfully in the moment. I've included a photo with the serial number so this can be reviewed by leadership and handled more appropriately going forward. The rest of the staff was excellent; the issue was solely with the manager's conduct. I hope future visits to this location reflect the professionalism Ace is known for.

I'm updating my review, We went to this Big R location only to discover it is back to AGAIN making…read morefalse advertising claims used to gain business. We finally found the merchandise we wanted. We went to pay. We showed our valid government issued IDs which has our age on it verifying we're also Seniors, and our Veterans ids which documents we are also disabled. Clerk, robustly unapologetic; says NO Military Discount or Senior Discount. YET, we had gone there ONLY because Big R publicly boasts their ruse that they have a "Military Discount" and a "Senior Discount" with: "Do you offer a Military Discount? Big R is proud to support our military. Everyday, enlisted and veteran military personnel with valid ID will receive 5% off their purchase of clothing and footwear and 3% off everything else at Big R. This discount applies to regularly priced items only. We also offer a verified Military Insider program that allows you to shop online and receive your discount. To create an account visit one of our locations." "Do you offer a Senior Citizen Discount? Yes! Every second Tuesday of the month is Senior Tuesday. On this day, customers 62 and older with a valid government issued ID will receive up to 10% off their purchase. Available in stores only." We boldly left the merchandise and walked out because I believe that I as a customer have a lot of clout. I WON'T be back as I do NOT support business that doesn't support our GIs and me as a Veteran. This Big R location is AGAIN doing false advertising and AGAIN doing a Bait-and-Switch which is a Nevada NRS 598 illegal Deceptive Trade Practice. NRS 598.0917. Violators face penalties such as civil fines up to $10,000 per violation. Penalties for violating NRS 598: For individuals: Penalties can range from a misdemeanor for a first offense to a gross misdemeanor for a second, and a category D felony for the third and subsequent offenses. For businesses: A civil penalty of up to $10,000 for each violation can be imposed. For consumers: An individual who is harmed by a deceptive trade practice can bring a civil lawsuit and may be able to recover damages and attorney's fees. NRS 598.0973 allows courts to impose a higher civil penalty, up to $25,000, for deceptive trade practices directed at an elderly or disabled person. As my Yelp friend Tess M. left a compliment for my review of Big R "Big R, yeah BIG ripoff, false advertising but most important disrespect for those who've selflessly served our country. SHAME on Big R!" P.S. Don't message me because in spite of my several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me :-(

I come and and the guy rings the bell for will call. Wait 5 minutes and no one comes. Ring again. Someone comes. He spent 10 minutes trying to find my order and couldn't. Then I had to wait 15 minutes in line and then someone wrote up my order and I went to pay for it. They told me I had to drive somewhere a few blocks away to pick up my items. Fine. I did that. And I get there and they say they are out of stock of 3 of my four items. Why did they just sell me out of stock items and not tell me. Now I have to call on the phone and convince them I didn't actually get the three items I paid for and they need to credit my card. I didn't have the time to drive 2 blocks and back wait in line again. Update: they don't take phone calls on the weekend, even though they are open. !!?! And all of this took an hour, which should have taken less than 5 minutes and completely messed up my whole day of scheduled events.

A few weeks later, correct carpet arrived, move furniture again. Installers did a great job but error-(supplier) did not put enough carpet into the order the order was short. Currently sitting with one lovely room that is carpeted and a master closet with no carpet. Repeat calls to get an answer on status. Very difficult to reach anyone for help- 15 minutes or more for a phone that rings or dropped into a queue repetitively, until finally reaching someone in the store for help. Informed carpet ordered to finish job- mid-May at the earliest to have a job completed that was initiated in March. Nothing more than a "sorry for the inconvenience". Once is a fluke twice is a pattern. I hope that the supplier issues are resolved and no one else has to endure this comedy of errors. The Installers (Reno Flooring) have done a great job and have attention to detail. Installers are very nice and they did their very best to complete this project. I feel sorry for the installers- this probably cost them valuable time and money too with these supplier issues.

It took a second to find as toilet repair is next to new toilets and separate from plumbing which makes sense. The service wasn't great, no employee ever spoke to me the entire visit, but I also didn't seek out any assistance and don't blame them for going about their work. However, I noticed a lot of birds chirping and flying around inside and a few products and places inside were covered in bird poop. I suppose this is an expected hazard when running a Home Depot, and I decided to go get some firewood and bird seed for my back yard. Outside the firewood and most of the products in the garden sections are severely weathered, worn, and are completely covered in bird droppings and seemed pretty disgusting. I decided to skip buying anything outside and went inside to get bird seed. When I approached the bird seed you could hear loud squeaking and I saw 3-4 mice eating all the bird food and jumping in between the racks. The bags had holes and there was seed and rodent droppings everywhere. I tried to see if maybe there was an untouched bag at the bottom but the entire inventory was also covered in rodent urine. Pretty disgusted, I decided to just buy the toilet parts and leave. There is no hand sanitizer anywhere and I stead of trying to go to the restroom to wash my hands I paid and left and got some sanitizer from my car. To be honest, this experience has definitely affected whether or not I would return, I probably won't until there is a bit better quality control with products and sanitation. The prices are good and the customer service is par for the course. They installed a new self checkout area which comes with more work for you and reduced staffing, but the products and quality has taken a nosedive.
