Garcia’s Firewood

Horrible wood.
Called and ordered pinion pine and they had none. Was informed that they had great seasoned wood, had a half cord delivered, all it does is smoke… yes, it’s covered during storms, have ordered from Olsens in the past and wanted to try someone else… DO NOT GET WOOD FROM GARCIAS ! You will be disappointed. This is perhaps the most bogus wood out there… they only got a one star as I can’t give them 0

Second time buying from Garcia. Had a full cord delivered in Dec 2013. Mixed hard and soft wood was good and had even mix of euc/​oak/​pine/​avo. Picked up a truck load of Avocado today. Wood is seasoned and good quality, a little wet from the last rain but I found enough dry wood to last until the rest dries out. My Silverado cargo box is 61 cu ft. just shy of the 64 cu ft in half a cord. Be sure to go a little higher than the top of the box to get a full half cord. $ 185 seems a little high for ½ Avocado picked up but, it is January 8^th and I should have ordered back in October. Paid by personal check.

I was ready for a new stash of wood and headed out to Garcia’s.
Excellent service with very nice and friendly people.
The prices were reasonable I will be back.
Plus my daughter loved and had fun with their dog «Paris»

These guys were super friendly, helpful and good to my bottom line. I called the day before to check their hours and ask about a price. I got a wheelbarrow of their «camping» firewood for $ 20… and he kept throwing more in the wheelbarrow well after I thought it was full. No complaints or complications at all. I’ll definitely be back once this stash is burned through.

I showed up this afternoon, during business hours, and the gates were locked. Looking at other reviews, I see I’m not the first person who’s had this happen.

Garcia’s was great — everyone was super friendly & informative and the experience was quick & easy. Can’t beat the price either!

I bought firewood from them a couple months ago and their prices were great and most importantly they were SO friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience! My mom called these guys up yesterday to order wood for this winter and they set up a delivery time for today. He showed up on time and was phenomenal. I was over visiting and watched as he stacked up the wood so neatly. My mom commented that in 20 years of purchasing wood, she has never had it chopped and stacked so well. He was very polite and knowledgeable.
After he left several neighbors came by and commented on the wood and asked for the name of the company. I was really impressed. More importantly, my mom is thrilled with Garcia’s Firewood. Thank you!

I’ll stick with 5 stars for now, until I can compare them to other firewood dealers in the San Diego. Fernando is the Boss Man. Hours for Sunday i think are from 9 am-​5 pm. They filled up the bed of my full size truck with «camping firewood» for about $ 118. They have avacado, pine, and oak. Call them for prices.

I love that this place is easy to find and close to the freeway. I drove up and the gentleman greeted me, I told him how much wood I wanted, and he quickly started loading my trunk for me. I will absolutely be back for wood the next time I need it! I had friends at our bonfire ask how much the wood cost and they were impressed how much I got for $ 40. Loved these guys and will be back again!

Saw all the positive reviews on Unilocal and decided to pick up some wood for a pizza oven. I just drove all the way out because it says they are open and the gates were locked and no one was there!

Been here couple times for campfire wood. Quick easy location nice guy and great prices! We will def be back every time we camp off the 8 freeway.

We picked up firewood for a camping trip. The guys working here were all super helpful, my Girlfriend drove over they helped her load the truck, and offered everything at a very fair price. This will be our stop for firewood for the beach or camping. Great place to pick firewood.

Good wood and a good price. Guys are very helpful too. $ 20 a full wheel barrow $ 25 for oak

First time getting firewood from Garcia’s two weeks ago. Great firewood, really good prices. Wood lasted long time and burned well. Highly recommend!!!

I found Garcia’s through the reviews on Unilocal and feel very fortunate! My wood was delivered promptly at the scheduled time. Perfect in every way — well-​dried and burns very well. Great staff and the delivery was seamless! Nice mix of oak and pinion at their suggestion. Thanks Garcias !

Winter 2014 was another great season filled with seasoned wood from Garcia’s. Elsa hooked us up again and is fantastic to work with. If you want good quality good, and a big selection of woods to choose from, this place is the best in San Diego County, bar none! Whether you’re looking for fireplace wood, smoker wood, bonfire wood, etc, this is your next stop!

Great job, Garcia’s! I had been using a company in Jamul for the last few years and they were good but I started getting too much filler/​hot wood, too large for my wood burning stove and scraps. So I checked around … the Poway place has horrific reviews but Garcia’s had awesome reviews and now I know why. They were easy, gave a quick quote and even though I called on Thurs, they delivered the very next day! Quick, clean and friendly process …

Easy to find and quick transaction. Only reason for the 4 stars instead of the 5 is that I was never able to reach them over the phone as I called about 4 times over a one hour period. Overall a very easy experience though.

I enjoy when it starts to cool down and having a fire in the fireplace makes sense. Long ago, I realized that buying a few bundles at a time at the local stores was way too costly to feed my pyro/​fireplace habit. I started getting firewood from Garcia’s well over 15 years ago when they were located on Jamacha Rd in El Cajon. Always friendly, always helpful and for a fraction of the cost of buying bundles of wood at the stores, I could buy more than enough wood to last me through February and not worry about how many times I used my fireplace or how much wood I was using to feed the fire.
Of course, when they moved to Marshall a few years ago I continued to patronize them because of my years of prior experience with them. Believe me, if you forsee yourself going to the stores in the next month and buying more than 4 – 5 bundles of wood, go to Garcia’s and make a one time purchase of what you’ll need. It will be far less costly and you’ll deal with some plain good, friendly people.
