Had an issue with something and the staff and owner were helpful in resolving the issue.
Counter help was couteous and helpful. Lobe that I can run in and get what I need quickly!!
What a great little store. New to the area and loyal to my small hardware stores. These guys were helpful and very knowledgeable. Helped me pick out the new mower and all stuff I needed for the season. Will definitely be coming back for all my hardware needs!
Always friendly, always reasonable prices. Almost always has what you want.
Had my mower tuned up, ended up running me over $120 dollars, personality not included. I hate to be so harsh, but being raked through the coals is not fun.
I needed parts for a patio umbrella base and waited for help while he was showing a potential customer a we go lawnmower. This guy knows the score when it comes to explaining all the features this highclass mower had. After he got done with the mower demo it took him about 15 minutes to help me get the parts that I needed. I would not hesitate to go back to this place. maybe to consider buying the top of the Line WeGo mower even if it does cost $545. GOOD PLACE GOOD SERVICE
Great service! Helpful staff for all your needs! They always know how to help with all your needs! A great asset to West Chicago for a long time! You can count on this store!
Love this place 10 toes down always have what i need...
I love this store. They do tune ups for mowers and snow plows. I took my riding lawn mower and snow plow there. They even have a service to pick the equipment up at you home. A very nice gentleman came and loaded my mower and snow plow onto his trailer. The work done was excellent. I was very happy and at a decent price. My one complaint about the store is that it looks tired inside and needs a store rehab. However that will not prevent me from going back.
Al was one if the salesperson that helped me with paint selection and he answered all my questions about repainting my cabinets. Told him I would be back for more advice.
Always use this Store for all our shops needs. Very friendly staff
Al is always helpful. Nice to have a local hardware store. Big box stores just arent the same.
Murphys Ace Hardware is always my go to Hardware Store! They have helped me avoid plumbing and electrical mistakes by educating me. Great owners and staff! Its nice that there is someone available when you need them to help you figure out what you need to fix anything. Thanks for being a Great Local Business!
My daughter bought a house in West Chicago and needed a lawnmower so I checked for hardware stores and yours come up. I worked at a Ace Hardware here in WI a long time ago and love the Ace stores. Well we went in and had excellent service. The owner helped us with a mower and told us that they would deliver it and service later if needed. He also give us very helpful tips and running of mower and general information for a 1st time home buyer. My daughter will go back there for other items...support your local small business always! Thanks
Needed some copper water line fittings. We got the last two. Finished the job. Excellent.
Place was a complete disaster. Couldnt find anything. Employees were too ambitious to help, really made for a miserable experience in an already chaotic mess. Ill stick to Sugar Grove.
Fast, friendly service. Buy online and pick up curbside quick, convenient service. Look here first for your hardware needs.
Was driving thru and had no choice but to stop in. Wasnt too bad. Few short minded employees but hey, its way better then walking into a box store for a screwdriver.
The staff is friendly enough, but the store is in major need of some cleaning and organization. It feels more like a flea market than a hardware store.
Helpful staff. Pretty well stocked store
The absolute worst service I have ever received. Dropped off my lawnmower to get it fixed as the starter cord broke. They said it would be fixed in one day. Three days later, and still no call. I called them and they said it was ready. The lawnmower was missing the cover, and the person helping us told us that that part doesnt really matter anyways and that it was essentially gone. The pull cord that they installed was clearly used and I was charged $35 for it even though they had a cheaper one in the same store. Then, the mower wouldnt even start. Super unhelpful staff in the back, constantly giving attitude and not even wearing masks, as required by law. Im thankful that I got a refund for this service but will never go to an Ace Hardware again. My mower is unusable after it was repaired at this store and now I have to get a new one.
I feel bad that I only write reviews when Ive had a bad experience but heres another one.I picked up 6 items today. When I get to the register, the cashier needed to look up 3 of the items. He then charges me 20% - 33% more than the displayed price. I proceed to show him the displayed prices and he responds, Oh we need to change that.I asked if he would honor the displayed price since, you know, the displayed price is what a customer expects to pay. I get a flat, emotionless no. This is the classic I DONT GIVE A PUCK attitude folks. Thats what to expect at your local West Chicago ACE Hardware. Get it together guys. Your customer base is fading.
Loved ace great service will shop again there
Very helpful employees when they see you they ask if there is anything they can help you find very friendly and check out is fast
They were very helpful in getting me a roof rake as I had gone to several other places and simply said no. They took my info and pre-paid for it and picked it up when it came in. Very helpful!
Has everything you need and helpful employees
Love this place. Boss has an account here for his company (Affordable Lawn and Home Care), so I come often. Always super helpful and extremely friendly to talk to. I appreciate you folks ❤
As always, service was knowledgeable and extremely courteous. They went out of their way to help with an item not in stock. I have been coming here for 22 years. Always receive immediate helpful & courteous service; staff go out of their way to help when items not on hand; repair lawn mowers and snow blowers (pick-up and deliver if necessary). One does not often find this level of customer service anymore. I wish Murphys Ace Hardware many more years of successful business in our community!
I called in to ask if they sell water filters. They said yes, I then ask him if I give you a serial number of a water filter can you tell me if you have it in stock the gentleman says no I’m not near a computer. I said is it possible for you to check.Best thing I have heard NO I don’t want to go check. People wonder why Local stores are going out of business and people shop online more.I’m not asking for first class customer service but you can at least tell me that you have it so I can go buy it from you.
Nice and friendly people! Old style hardware store were you can find virtually everything. The oldest surviving hardware store in the area.
A great little hardware store with a wonderful selection. The store Id well maintained and well organized. The employees are always helpful and really seem to care about the customer. Ive been here several times and Ive never had a poor experience.
Very helpful staff!
Ace is a great local business that I always enjoy supporting. They have much more than most people know, and there are no lines!
Great customer service. If they dont have it it doesnt exist
I needed a new key cut for my 2015 Ford. I had purchased a blank key and fob on Amazon. Although there are risks with these keys the people at West Chicago Ace hardware went out of their way to cut the key. It is now working fine.
I will only shop Ace...Murphys Ace. Smaller store. Possible for me to navigate. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Pleasant & courteous. Great location for me! If not in stock they order it for you. Im often asked why I dont shop big box stores...reasons above are why...But at Murphys, they know me, greet me and I need the fabulous customer service!
Helpful employees. Recommended.
Its a family owned old home town hardware store where people really know who you are. A little pricey compared to the giants, but a good home town feel. I always try to support local business.
Staff very helpful. Thanks
Great place very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend for all your hardware needs
Pretty good hardware store. Found what we needed. Better stocked than a lot of the chains these days.
Helpful hardware folks.
Everything about the store I love. This place is my go-to anytime I need any tools,nails, etc! They have everything available at a fair price 👍🏼 However, anytime you need an item ordered from this place DO NOT get help from a guy named John. He works in the back and he’s the absolute worst 👎🏻😡 DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH HIM LIKE I DID. RIDICULOUS!!
Staff here is pretty helpful
Nice Neighborhood hardware store. They are always helpful and knowledgeable. A alternative to the Big box home hardware stores. Easy to navigate too. Al and his staff are great.
The man in the store is very helpful every time I go there.
I love these store, they have a great customer service
Rented a carpet shampooer from here for a good price and worked great on my carpets. Employees here were very helpful.
Great helpers, and the Boss, very helpfull.
They serviced my lawn mower way faster than I expected. Will definitely keep coming back!
Big box hardware stores are only helpful on big ticket items. If I need expert help, old school time; get thee to an Ace!
Ill never shop there again!! The price on the item that I purchased wasnt showing on sale in their system. The clerk requested a price check. When she was told that the item was on sale. She Never apologized. That was definitely poor customer service!!
I find the employees at this Ace Hardware are quick to approach me to help in any way they can. Theyre friendly and knowledgeable. I love to go into this well stocked store for paint, tools, outdoor grills, lawn furniture, snow blowers small items I need and more. The big box stores drive me crazy. Its hard to find someone to even ask a question of in Menards or Home Depot which are overwhelmingly large. Its a nice feeling to go into a family store like Murphy Ace Hardware because I can get in and out quickly with all the help I needed.
Very helpful and they have some parts that the bigger box stores dont
I was accidentally sending my checks to their store instead of another ACE. Al Murphy, without any long explanation on my part, said, no worries, your refund check is on the way.A different store is much closer to me but we have been using whenever possible the Murphy store for over 30 years. It is a wonderful family owned business.Francine
Al Murphy is always helpful. I came in looking for a snow shovel. He let me know that supplies today are limited, but he had a good shipment coming in tomorrow.
Great place to get what you need fast and easy to find your stuff, but at times it can be overpriced
I feel like they could have more products available. Customer service could also be improved.
Great hardware store to get in and out of. Most things I need right now are in stock and the employees are available to help
Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Great to go to a place that you arent searching forever to find what you are looking for
They really are, the helpful hardware wo & man. I went in there this evening because of that buy 1 get 1 free on the gallons of paint sale going thru Monday. I wanted to get some samples to put on the walls before I committed to the gallons. Thought they were open till 7PM but they close @ 6PM on Saturday. The guy was there till 20 minutes after closing making my 4 sample pints & he was still helping another couple with their paint. I love this store! Even when Im just looking for 1 little screw I get the same help. I hope they never go out of business.
Commercial desk (m-f mornings-) stocks paper products in quanties for businesses and churches.Have had success having keys cut, locks rekeyed and car chip key made.Rental in back. Drawers of nuts and bolts. Will order for you. Honor ace flyer. Mix paint better that other stores- all gallons same color- imagine that .
Didnt have the exact item I needed but the two employees that helped me came up with good alternatives
Terrible location. Employees all have something better to do than help a customer out. It took 4 people to do one in others job cuz they hate their jobs. Everyone has an attitude and would not help with tool replacement for craftsman. I will never go to this location ever again, and would recommend others to go elsewhere. This Ace sucks........
Extremely helpful staff, better than Menards who told me that I couldnt do a particular project a certain way.
Great service great price
Ace has a lot of odd items that menards doesnt carry. Good to see a small store still doing good business! They do it with great customer service!
Best place to find old style door knobs and stuff to fix up old projects
Very helpful knowledgeable polite and have a huge rental department and again its always best to support local business
Tool and equipment rental and a super helpful and friendly staff! They have everything you need. Why waste time going to one of those other big box hardware stores when Murphys has it!!
Price gouging on masks during a pandemic. Pathetic.
Great place, at times somewhat unorganized but otherwise really helpful having close by home
Great place, friendly employees always helpful and Claudia is the Best !
Bad service, wrong way to do returns. They play with numbers on receipts to make it look they do a return and they dont. I dont trust them anymore.
Excellent customer service, shopping for wet vac and left with what I was looking for at competitive cost.
They were very helpful.
Al and the great people there exemplify the best in technical support and service!
Shelves are stocked with useful items and the sales staff is friendly and knowledgeable
A nice friendly Ace Hardware store in the neighborhood good place to do your shopping at
Employees are knowledgeable for the most part and friendly. Will always go here rather than Menards.
Small town hardware store feel.
Very friendly and helpful.
Well stocked friendly service love to shop local
A decent Quality Hardware Store with a good selection of merchandise.
Found a vacuum cleaner belt we couldnt find elsewhere.
Family owned- Great Hatdware Store
Great service and helpful staff
They had a bike lock for prize of $9.99 when I came to cashier it was $12.99. When I asked two of thier team they said. Aw we dont have a hoke for it. Or no prize stock. So we cant give it to you. Some of them are nice. But there are couple of them are very rude
Good fishing stuff in stock live bait
The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and always helpful.
Nice eniverment
