I told Jackie that Id give her 25 stars if I could!!! I needed my wedding rings sized up and my sister-in-law recommended AmeriPawn to me. (Valparaiso location) I took my rings in on Friday, expecting to get a call in a week or two. Jackie had them ready to go by Monday. Not only did she do an awesome job with the sizing, but she re-dipped them for me as well! What a nice surprise!!! They are so beautiful and shiny again, AND they fit perfectly! Thank you so much, Jackie! Youre the best. Ill definitely be visiting your place again.
I am not a big pawn store fan, but the ameripawn in Valparaiso is unlike any other. Although it is smaller, they have a great jewelry department. We took in several pieces of jewelry that needed repair and they were quick, friendly, and very very reasonable compared to what other stores wanted to charge me. Ive actually bought some tools from them also and saved some cash.If you dont like pawn stores but need jewelry repair, give the ameripawn in Valparaiso a try. Like I said, its unlike any other pawn store Ive been to. Good luck to you guys and well see you soon when we break something else...Lance and Debbie
This pawnshop is great. They are always more than fair on prices and very honest. The shop always has a good selection of tools and stuff in the musical instruments category. They are clean and very organized. The staff is always friendly, polite and professional. I recommend this shop for sure!!!
First, beautiful store ( first time there). Friendly helpful staff.Will do business with them.
This has been my favorite pawn shop for years now. You never know what you will find when you walk in the door - from computers to cameras, stereos to snow shoes. Competitive prices and helpful, friendly staff. Christine in jewelry is amazing and very knowledgeable!
Called and had a few questions regarding a product. Dude picked up and answered, instead of assisting, I got the phone slammed on me. Guess Ill be spending money elsewhere
I went to the Ameripawn jeweler in Valpo for a pair of diamond earrings and for a diamond necklace and am completely satisfied. The prices are so amazing and the quality is wonderful. My father always told me not to go to a jewelry store like Kay’s or Martin Binder because they overcharge insanely and the second you buy a diamond you’ll never get back what you paid for it. If you’re looking for a beautiful piece of jewelry head to Ameripawn in Valpo, they can work with you and even customize certain jewels you want! I will be going back for more. A++++++ service
I have been taking jewelry for repair to Ameripawn for years - everything from resizing my most expensive piece, which I inherited from my grandmother, all the way to some sentimental pieces that I just wanted to keep wearing. Kristine has been knowledgeable, straight, skilled and respectful in every situation as have been her staff. Recently, I made the mistake of taking my wedding ring first to Martin Binder to fix. They were either unable or unwilling to fix it. I took it to Ameripawn and they completely restored it. It looks like it did the day I got it. Thank you!
Got a good deal for what i wanted. Dave was really nice and kept it real. Once i got some more spare money i know where ill be headed
NEVER buy tools from here! Every single tool I have ever bought from this place has broken on first use they are nowhere near experienced enough to tell if a tool is in good working order they just turn it on and say ok lets sell it it works for now! And they dont make it right either. Can you really trust a place that only allows returns for 24 hours? No!
I took my wedding rings in for a little repair and an appraisal! Jackie was so sweet and made me feel like I was their most important customer! She did a great job on my ring! It’s gorgeous!! Thank you so much!❤️
I have always had good experiences here. Chris, Steve, and Louis are some stand up guys and always make me feel like a valued customer as do the other staff in both the pawn shop and Engstroms. Definitely worth looking into if you are wanting to buy or sell something.
Very nice employees, no complaints there. Yet they offered me $50 for a ring that is only one year old and costed $1000. I laughed, took my ring back and politely said “well thanks anyway have a good night”.
Complete scammers. Selling power equipment that they know is broken. Cover and hide damages, no warrantee. They prey on people with little money who need the item. Then the unsuspecting customer is left with broken junk and they are out their last dollar. They have no conscious. If your looking for used inexpensive items, check the Market Place. They also will not give you 5 cent on the dollar when you sell. Sell yourself for 50 times more. Thanks for broken junk that lasted one hour and needed 350 repairs. You knew it was broken
I was looking for a unique piece of jewelry for a friend in July and someone told me to go into this store and look at the jewelry-WOW they had a perfect gift. I purchased the piece and it was a huge hit. I came back for a Christmas gift and again found another great piece. Great service! Perfect items and quality pieces. I will make this my first stop when I look in the future-Thansk for taking time to help me. I highly reccomend.
James and Steve gave me the best deal walked in w $97 in my pocket, and walked out with two tools worth way more to me. Will use no other shop from now on. Got my eye on their enventory of tools few more I want. Great customer service.
Kris, Steve and the entire team here are awesome and willing to help you out as best as they can. Been coming here for awhile and always satisfied.
Customer service was amazing! Good deals too.
I messaged this store about a nintendo ds at 610 pm yesterday. I was told they had the item in stock. I come in today and spend 45 minutes watching 2 employees stumble around calling the guy who I talked to unable to find my item. Then Im told the item I wanted was not the item they have. This store false advertises, and is obviously completely unorganized to the point they dont even know what items they do and dont have. Driving to Valparaiso to this store was a complete waste of time. Dont even waste your time going to or calling this store.
Great location, excellent, personable service. Will recommend!
Jackie, the jeweler, is amazing. Turned old rings from my grandmother into a solitare and 2 bracelets for my daughters in law. Top notch service!!!
Great place to shoe. The staff is amazing.
Lady at jewelry dept rude . 10 .00 ?? For two nice size diamonds and bunch of little ones only thing was missing was the biggest diamond paid 3800 and she looked at it didnt weight it and just said 10.00 that was a insult and a rip off if you ask me they didnt have such rude people working there they might get more people and I was told from several people dont go there they will rip u off well I guess they were right
Kris and Steve were working and they were crazy helpful and finding the gear I needed and they gave me killer prices. I recommend definitely coming in they have awesome music gear in great condition.
Best Pawn store ever .super friendly always willing to help .clean and organize .Thank you very much for your hard work your employees put into the place .will always be a faithful customer :D
I am a weekly customer. I love the blu-ray and DVD’s. Chris & Steve Are Great!
Kristine is AWSOME..she is always there genuinely helping us out with purchasingfine jewelry!
I have noticed that some people have a bad opinion of The Pawn Shop. I can only speak for myself when I say that this place has saved me on numerous occasions. Weather its a couple bucks for gas or a few hundred for the NIPSCO bill they have been there for me. I have also purchased multiple items from them. They have great deals on everything from video games to jewelry. I have a wife and five children and Im not rich so I dont have a savings nor do I have well off friends and family members to turn too for help so without places like this one, me and everyone else in my situation wouldnt have anywhere to turn to. Overall this place is great and so are the people working there. I would like to especially thank Christine, Steve, and Chris for always being there and always being fare weather Im making a purchase or Im getting a loan on an item for some extra money. Thanks to all of you for everything you do for me and the community.
Jackie is the greatest, one of the best places to go for your early Christmas shopping !
We have gotten many great finds at this pawn shop. They are open to negotiate on their inventory, and you can work with them for a price that you are both happy with.
Ask for Christine she will help you out :)
James is an incredibly handsome man. He looks like Thor and Emeril Lagasse had the most beautiful baby and he grew up to work at this pawn shop. I love him. Steve was ok too.
Kris was super helpful and i found everything, go shop here!
My husband and I stop in every so often to check out the inventory. Great customer service, and always a wide selection of jewelry to look over. Christine is by far the best! Always 100% satisfied!!
Great service. Always willing to work with you and go that extra mile.
We love coming here and James was super helpful!!
Great customer service with super friendly employees
Kris and james was very helpful and would always recommend coming to this pawn shop. The only pawn shop I go to, I dont go anywhere else.
Kris was very helpful. Great place.
James was kind and helpful as always! Love Ameripawn!
James is awesome . Thanks for your help
Friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable staff. For buyers, the selection of items is extensive (particularly tools, coins, and electronics) and at overall good prices. For sellers, be ready to negotiate for the price you want and/or be prepared to accept much less than what you may have been expecting to get for your items. Definitely a place to check out, though.
James was incredibly helpful and we love coming here!!!!
Great staff, they know us by name when we come and know we will haggle on price. Always come out with a great deal!!
Kris, Steve, James, Christine, Don, Derrick, and Jackie are AWESOME!!!!!!! Hands down best pawn shop in Valpo.
James was very helpful and professional!
Keep it up & you guys will be as good as Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Lol.
I live ameripawn Kristen never fails to impress with her pieces and the pricing is amazing.
If you are trying to sell coins or jewelry dont waste your time driving all over get get low offers while the man behind the counter plays on the calculator sizing you up trying to figure out how much he can rip you off for, take your stuff straight to Greg and his staff and get highest price based on true market value and not just some guy trying to make 50 percent off of your stuff
OK place
Good prices and great people!!!
Very arrogant. Said his name didnt matter. Said my coin was worth nothing before even know what kind it was. Has to be before 1964 or isnt worth anything. Ok. I will not use a place like that.
Staff is great! Also gave me the most on my jewelry!
Love shopping here, never know what youll find.
Christine was great help!
James is very helpful!!
James hooked me and my buddies up go to him is you need anything
Christine is an amazing person
Always like going there for a quick loan. Never have a issue or hassle here.
James was very nice
James was very helpful
They were great with old jewelry
Unfair pricing when pawning or selling, terrible customer service, and overpriced! Not worth the trip colossal waste of time!
Superb customer service and fair buys
I stopped by to check out the coins based on other reviews and was disappointed to find extremely over priced on every coin we looked at. True they have a large selection but pricing was about double red book pricing.
Great Service
Great service
Great place
They have helped me out on a couple loans but sometimes not too happy on what they offer when you try to pawn something
Large variety of items for sale. Fair prices offered for pawned goods.
James was excellent
James is a mint guy!
Good people
Ignorance never would I give them the time of Day again
Fast,friendly service
Close to early an prices are close to new
Unfortunately they are closed on Sundays
Its been quite a while since Ive used their services, however, they have always been fair, polite, and easy to work with. Thank you Ameripawn.🙂
