MC IVOR ACE HARDWARE

.

We have a small hardware store in the Mission San Jose area called Mc Ivor. Now if Mc Ivor plumbing is in your list, I can give them the top rating. They are fabulous, and Mc Ivor hardware store in Mission San Jose, they are the ones who gave me the AB Plumbing for the hot water heater. It's a wonderful little neighborhood and if there are some people who are not using it I would recommend it to anybody because my fear is that they won't get enough, they have been there for many many years, it's second generation now, and my fear is that because they are small they won't get enough business so we might loose them. When my plumbing stopped up, I called them and they said, well you know you can call a plumber but we have a snake you can borrow. And I went and borrowed their snake and with the help of a friend we unplugged my toilet and I have done that twice. I went up there recently to see well, what kind of saw could I get. I have these boards that I need to saw in half so they will fit in my green can that is come out of a little bit of cinch repair that I had to have done, and he said, well we have a saw we lend. So I borrowed a nice little saw, they signed off one of the little saws that they lend. My grandson was able to easily saw all the boards in half cause it was a little circular saw. So you know they just, I can't say enough about the service that I've gotten. Well we have been going here for many years, my late husband went there and I just continued to go there and found that they were extremely helpful to me. I just know where to go, they are off of Washington Boulevard. I would absolutely have any of my neighbors referred to them. One time I needed to change some locks and I went there for advice about locks, and the man said to me, well you know I could rekey your locks if you can bring them in. And I took my locks off and my neighbor took them in so I could watch the house, and we scheduled a time and in an hour he had all my locks re keyed and my neighbor was back home and we were putting them in. Yea, I mean very very helpful with household problems. Since I lost my husband six years ago, I know I can go get advice at Mc Ivor and I know I will get the best I can get. You are going to pay a little more at Mc Ivors because they are small, but I think the convenience and the service is worth a little bit extra that we might pay there because they don't tell you it's 10 aisles over, go look for it, they go with you or they go get it and bring it to you at the front of the store, so I think that the service certainly is well worth a few extra cents we pay there versus going to the big box store.
