Anza True Value Hardware

Was in area and needed keys ;yelped for hardware stores; Anza Hardware popped up. Very friendly and was in/​out quickly. Great place!

Hole in the walls and mom and pop stores are the best! On a first name basis with the employees here! Greg the manager is really helpful and knows a lot about everything! Chaz was able to special order me a particular piece for my toilet. The owners are great, very accommodating! He was able to make my screen on the spot, of course with an extra charge but it definitely saved me from coming back just to pick up my screens! Definitely worth it! Beat that Home Depot!

This spot is awesome it has the old school hardware store vibe and they have everything and anything you need with are very friendly staff that is willing to share there knowledge.

I don’t like leaving negative reviews and this is probably one of my very few 1 stars BUT if your hours state you are open until 3 PM, then stay open until 3 PM, or at the least post a sign saying you’re closing early. Went by there earlier today at 2:20 well before closing time & found store closed with no sign or any indication that they were closing early !

Can I give negative stars??? That’s what this place deserves! The manager Greg is rude and has absolutely no customer service skills. Took my wooden screen doors in to be rescreened, «it will be a hard job but we can do it» was what we were told. Well, about a week later, WE call to see if they are done, and go to check them out. Finally, we get a little air relief from the hot weather because our screen doors are back… nope.
Nice try, they «fixed» the screens by shooting the staples THROUGH THE DOOR face! WHAT??? Now we have a door with nails/​staples sticking out of it.
We are not accepting that, you need to fix your crappy repair job. Okay, so we leave the doors, fingers crossed they will be fixed again when we pick them up. Call the manager, Greg, multiple times to see what they are going to do about ruining our screens, it’s like tracking down the president. He tells people he will call them back, and doesn’t; he tells people he will be in until a certain time, he isn’t; HOW ARE YOU RUNNING A BUSINESS??? Rhetorical question… you’re not. The worst customer service.
Suffer through another week of stagnant heat with doors shut. Again, WE call to check on them. Yeah, they are done. Go to check on the… NOPE! The sheared off the nails/​staples, puttied over them, then primered the door. Now they look like trash, something you would pull out of the dumpster. I’m not putting those on my house!
Have the employees call the manager, who was supposed to be in until 3:30 today but never came in because he’s on medication (sorry, but not my problem. Don’t tell me you will be somewhere until a certain time and then not be there to help). Explained to him the problem, AGAIN; maybe he doesn’t remember because of the medication.
«We will refund the amount you paid for the fix,» (what fix??? You screwed up the doors). A normal manager would take ownership for his business ruining a product. His response «your doors were crappy to begin with. We aren’t replacing them.» I’m sorry? If you couldn’t handle the job, you should have said that instead of saying you could do something then ruining the original
In the process!!!
I asked him to call his boss, the owner, if that’s his boss; reluctantly, after me saying that I wanted to speak to the owner multiple times, he said he would contact the owner and to give him my number.
Now it’s been 3 weeks, multiple phone calls, multiple trips to the store, still no acceptable screens, and waiting on the manager again.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! The customer service is horrible. I would much rather have them just say they couldn’t handle the job, then I could have taken them elsewhere that could have done the job. Instead, I was taking their word and got screwed in the end. I’m out two screens, three weeks so far, and a HUGE hassle.

I love this place. Whether you are getting a key made or need a random hardware item, they are always friendly, knowledgable and awesome. And they have great prices.
I hate those big, corporate places where no one wants to help and they treat me like I don’t know anything I know things. Just not about hardware!
At Anza Hardware, they are so respectful, fun, and they have what you need. It’s like going back to the good days of the small town when you could trust store owners! Support small, local business and stop by here before feeding the corporate giant. You will be glad you did.

This place is awesome. I’ve been looking for this specific guitar key that you can make house keys out of and Anza hardware was the only place I found it and they cut keys for super cheap.
Way better than Home Depot or Lowe’s. And the manager is awesome! She helped me pick out the perfect gift for a friend of mine.
If you’re looking for a knowledgable and helpful staff that’s not a big box store, this is your place.

Great local place with friendly staff to help you!

Nice little family run hardware store if you need just a few nails or screws or whatever to fix up or or work on a hobby. Obviously not the selection of a big hardware chain but their selection miggt surprise you and the friendly service can’t be beat!

I highly recommend this place. They are helpful and have even taught me how to fix the stuff I need fixing. A great place for a non-​handy person to go to get schooled – in a good way. You would NEVER get this kind of service in one of those warehouse stores.

This place is your typical neighborhood family owned hardware store. Small, cramped, but a lot of selection for small and large stuff.
I was in here June or July of 2014 for a plumbing part. I think we needed the toilet rubber stuff (the one that looks like POO). My dad found the part we needed for the apartments we own than took it to the man at the register and scanned it and left.

Overpriced. Went in to pick up a couple parts price tag on shelf had one price got to the register they charged more. Told them about the difference they didn’t care lady was busy eating and said item was in wrong spot. When I showed them the tag they still didn’t care. Ok store if ur in a bind and don’t mind paying a little more

It was my first time here today and will definitely come back. The man who helped me, which I assume is the owner was very nice and helpful. It was kind’a busy and he managed to help me and 2 other people at the same time. Came in looking for lamp clamps and luckily they have 2 left. I told him it’s for a DIY lightbox I’m planning to make. Then our conversation went on to lamp clams and all kinds of light bulbs. He was so knowledgeable and I learned a lot. However, they ran out of the natural daylight bulbs that I need. He suggested another kind of bulb, and told me to test it out and come back if it doesn’t work.
Prices are a bit higher compare to as Home Depot, Lowes and Orchard, but it’s a small mom and pop hardware store and they need to make money too. We gotta support!
I don’t think I’ll ever get this kind of customer service at Home Depot. Will definitely tell El Hubby about this place!

Very awesome small business. The employees are so helpful, and the place is packed with everything you could possibly need.

I have been coming here for years. They know my name when I walk in, and ALWAYS help me find exactly what I need. They do a FANTASTIC job on window screens, too!

This is seriously the friendliest hardware store I have ever been in. The first time I came in to pick up a broom and I swear I met every single employee at the store. They are super helpful and I’ve been there a little over a half-​dozen times. They are my go to place for anything that home depot sells and I can feel good spending my money here.
If you’re sick of the chain stores, give this place a try!

Owner here are not friendly at all! i told him his prices for american made sprinklers were cheaper than home depot’s china made products, he replied that he was going to raise his prices then! Today i went in to return a heat gun i didn’t need and the owner’s wife gave me a crappy attitude about returning it because she claimed it had a Little scratch on it!

My little cousin and his friend decided to jump on my mom’s bed and wound up breaking two of the support beams in her boxspring. They weren’t the main beams, so we decided to just replace the two slats.
We would normally go to Home Depot, but after the horrible service we received on our last visit, we went back to Anza True Value. The same employees were there! We bought new screws for the bed but were sad to see that they don’t carry wood. We decided to ask anyway. The employee asked what kind of wood we needed and what it would be used for. He went out back and grabbed exactly what we needed! It turned out to be the wood that they would normally cut down into fence stakes! It wound up being $ 3 for a 10-​foot piece, versus Home Depot’s $ 2, but we didn’t need to get it cut, nor did we have to deal with horrible service and drive across town.
If you don’t see something on the shelf that you really need, ASK! Chances are, they have it out back! Plus, supporting a local business that has dependable, friendly service is WELL worth it!

I’ll take a «Mom & Pop» shop over BIG-​BOX RETAIL any day of the week and I highly recommend you give this place a shot before you hit Home Depot or Lowes. Obviously, they are not going to have the selection of the above-​mentioned but if you’re in the market for your basic widgets, tools, etc. and want a personal touch — Anza True Value Hardware is the bomb.
This weekend my toilet went down — ohhh no! It would flush but it would not fill back up — no bueno! Believe me when I say that I am total clown when it comes to repairing stuff; no aptitude whatsoever. Apparently the «guts» inside the back of toilet were shot and the young kid working at the hardware store walked me through the entire process. I was really, really impressed and appreciated him taking the time to explain it in so much detail. I have NEVER had that kind of service from Home Depot or Lowes. They always act like they are in too big of a hurry (at least in my experience).
The job turned out to be super-​duper simple; my plumber hat is off, the toilet is up and running, no leaks, no issues — girlfriend is happy. What else could I ask for? Well, maybe two happy girlfriends! Boom, Bang, Bing, Pow!

I spend a lot of time in hardware stores: Lowes, Homedepot, Osh, you name it and I can probably tell you where to find what. But this is my favorite hardware store. I am always amazed at the items they have in stock — this is important because most of the time when I come to this store I am in the middle of a project and need something quick — it is also the closes store to my house.
Not only are they well stocked, they are also very knowledgeable and don’t mind taking the time to explain things to you. Yes, I go to the big box stores when I buy large items but you’d be amazed at how many (and important) smaller items are needed in any project. This is where I go to get them.
