Lot of stuff way over priced. Will only go there if I have no other choice.

Whatever you do, don't ever ever rent a penske truck from here. Absolute worst service ever. I reserved a truck weeks prior and when I went to pick it up "dougie" acted like he had no clue about it. He just handed me the keys and said. Your all set. He never pulled the truck up, hooked up the tow trailer, or even gave my the dolly I ordered. I had to do all of this myself! I'm glad I never have to go back to this place and inconvenience dougie by having him do his job

Robinson Hardware on Lapp Road in Clifton Park, New York is the best store. Each and every time I have shopped there, I am warmly greeted and assisted by a store associate. I am a senior citizen lady and I don't always know or understand what I should purchase for my home. I never feel ignored, disregarded or laughed at in a sarcastic way at Robinson Hardware. They value their customers at all times.

Incredible store! Probably the best stocked ACE I've ever seen

November 13, 2024

I pulled in to get a tool I needed for work the next morning. They closed their doors as I pulled in at 6:45pm they close at 7:00pm. My construction company will no longer be doing business with ace hardware.

As new residents of the area who just purchased our first home, my husband and I have frequented Robinson Hardware many times over the past few months. The staff is what makes this place so great! Both the daytime and nighttime staff during the week have been so accommodating, friendly, and helpful - especially when it comes to choosing paint for our home. We have nothing but good things to say, and will definitely be making many more trips here in the years to come.

UPDATE Jan 2024: New young employee/manager is FANTASTIC. A real pro. Pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. OLD REVIEW: Great local hardware store most of the older folks that work there are quite helpful and knowledgeable the only drawback is when you get the kids that are just not helpful at all and just don't know anything. The prior ownership was better but still a great store.

The best customer service from a gentleman named Kesey Murdock. He went above and beyond to help me pick out plants for our new home. Because of him I went back and purchased more. I sure hope you can train the younger sales people to be a great as he was. They seemed new so hopefully you can still train them. I would not have normally stopped at a hardware store for plants. But I am glad I did. Sharon Moran

I bought a Toro snowblower from here back in November 2018 when this was known as Crescent Ace Hardware and was run by the Abbales. I see it now has new ownership. The snowblower is still under warranty and I have written a few emails about an issue I am having with it and gotten no response. Email is my preferred method of contact for businesses. I will call but am disappointed nobody tends to their email address. The email did not bounce back and I still see it listed for the business so I believe they just don t read it or respond to it.

They picked up my snow blower for service and told me it would cost $400 and not be worth it. They were nice enough to offer to dispose of the machine for me. I asked them to bring it back, I paid for pick up, delivery and diagnostics. I had a friend look at it, he change the oil, cleaned out the carb and its been working fine for 3 seasons.

My snowblower was broken and I had arranged for the store to pickup and drop off my machine before the snow storm and was told that it would not be ready in time due to parts that needed to be ordered. I went in and dealt with the store manager Rob who understood my situation and he was able to get the parts from another location just in time for me to pick it up personally. I truly appreciate the customer service. Thanks to the team at Robinson Hardware

Helpful and friendly staff. Had a set of keys made. One worked and one didnt. When I returned, they promptly remade the non functioning key without hassle and they apologized for the inconvenience. I have been hesitant to go to Ace for anything because I have heard that they are expensive. I browsed a bit before having my key made and I found items to be more or less about the same as any other hardware store, and the service was immensely better.

Ordered 2 tons of wood pellets for fireplace we specifically asked and were told that the pellets would be delivered wrapped and on a pallet for a $60 delivery charge. First they called and ask if I could help with unloading each bag and restacking them because they do not have the proper equipment (pallet jack) to handle the delivery. When they showed up there was only one ton and 2 individuals to unload. Well I do not want them unwrapped and restacked. When I made my displeasure known the older driver gives me S***t and attitude. This is Not a store I will ever visit again. Spoke to the manager and we are getting our money refunded and going to Home Depot for better price and better customer service and more professional employees

Living near Exit 8 for the last 20 years, I have tried to patronize local businesses, including Crescent Ace Hardware on Lapp Road. Over the last couple of years (new owners), that has proved a time-consuming, frustrating and very costly practice. CAH was so confident that I let them work on my Yard Man riding mowers cutter deck mechanism. When that failed after the first mow, they worked on it again. I paid for that repair twice, but didnt get to enjoy the results much because the drive (propulsion) soon failed. When they returned it to me, it still wouldnt go. This was fixed 3 times, each time with increasing irritation on Johns part for my reluctance to keep pouring full-rate labor into this issue that was supposed to have been resolved the first time. The 3rd repair failed as well. When I took it to Hudson River Tractor Co. (formerly John Deere, near Exit 10), it was repaired quickly and affordably, with an incorrect drive spring only one of the errors noted in the drive system as repaired by CAH. When my 20-year-old John Deere snowthrower gave up, I went shopping. The Thanksgiving snowstorm put blowers i short supply and I decided to give CAH another chance and chose a Toro 2-stage machine based on reputation. It looked great, but the display models snow-directing chute was hard to move and wouldnt work in its full range at all. A simple adjustment, I was assured, that would be made on going through it before delivery. It was delivered fine, but without being touched at all, let alone fixed, adjusted or gone through. Even the feature tags were in exactly the same position as when on display. CAH apologized, picked it up, took their time, and returned it fixed. Great. Tags now removed. But the chute was just as non-functional as before. I made them pick it up. More time went by. This time after they worked on it I visited it at the shop. Someone had squirted lubricant on it but the underlying directional angle range selection problem had not even crossed the repairmans mind--no change whatever. 30 days were almost up. Well, it turned out that unlike other snowblowers, Toro defects must be taken to an Authorized Service center, i.e., marrying me to CAH for the life of the warranty. I declined the sale. The owner said actually, Toros rules said it would have to be a warranty repair issue and I would have to deal with Toro myself (he recanted after finding a replacement buyer) to try to get my money back. I told him I had never received an operational unit, nor put fuel in it or started it and the sale was never completed. After he sold it to someone else he mailed me a credit card refund, but kept the additional delivery charge I had paid up front at time of purchase, so as to still have some profit on the whole thing. Im still a little unclear what exactly I got for my $20.00, other than a bunch of time and trouble, and $300.00 additional cost to me that I ended up having to pay to get a comparable snowblower, having sat out all the sales during the Toro fiasco. I guess he felt entitled to it after all the resources CAH put in. Do you think thats relevant and compensable, given that I bought a product new and in good faith and never had any chance of receiving a workable machine? In my view this sleazy final insult evidences the deficient (or at least sloppy) principles and work ethic that led to my consistent headaches with Crescent Ace Hardwares service department under its current management.
