Mine is good here. Just a bad experience with a lawn mower repair. Other than that they have been good. And in their defense, they "outsource" the lawn mower repair to a small engine guy locally. They don't actually employ him or do any of the work.

The owner of my local Ace is a long hair guy who is likly a hippy. But his daughters are hot and they work the registers!

Hah! Your secret revealed!

My Ace is run by a family. Everyone who works there is related. I went in there this morning to buy a couple of monster bags of calcium chloride for de-icing my sidewalks. The person working the register was the 80-something great grandmother of the cute 18-year-old who usually works the register. You just never know what you'll find at Ace...the Helpful Hardware Place, eh?
