Do It Center

Love this place! My husband and I were recently in town on a working vacation doing some work to my dad’s condo. I honestly lost count as to how many times we visited this store over the course of ten days. Everything we needed they had and the help was wonderful. I’m sure we may have paid more than the big box stores but the convenience and small town ambience was well worth the additional cost.

This place is great and you’ll find pretty much anything you need. They make copies of keys which is very helpful. Every time I have been in here someone asks me if I need some help… great customer service. Their prices are also very reasonable given the location.

My husband had a job in Mammoth and needed a few extra parts that he forgot in Orange County. He was very impressed with the plumbing stock and selection.

Di it Center is basically a smaller version of Lowe’s or Home Depot with a few Wal-​Mart items put in for fun.
I went in for some screws for my bike. The manager was helpful and the girls at the front were very nice. The prices seemed to be very reasonable for a small town. If you are looking for something that they don’t sell at the Rite-​Aid, they probably have it at the Do it Center. If they don’t, ask the manager and they can probably get it for you.

I’ve been coming to Mammoth for many years and I have to say The Do it center now renamed (DIY) was known for not having the best service but in the last several years the store has made huge improvements in it’s Service, Selection and Overall expereince. The staff here is very welcoming and friendly. Everyone seems to really enjoy their job and the second you walk in you’re greeted and offered assistance. My husband and I have a second home here and whenever we need something for our condo, we know we can count on the DIY (Formerly Do It Center) to help find us what we need. We love Mammoth but in our experience it’s hard to find business’s there that treat their customer’s with care and operate professionally as they do. I hope they can add carpeting and flooring to their selection one day soon. They would kick butt at this and blow their competition away!

My husband and I seem to be perpetually remodeling something in our house, so are perpetually at the Do It Center. Their staff is always helpful and their prices, while not always as cheap as what you might find at Home Depot/​Lowes, are not gouge-​you-​mountain-​town-​style high.
Recently I had picked out the most wonderfulest blue paint chip and had them mix a gallon for me – to my horror, it was waaaay off the swatch (the things graphic designers have nightmares about). I was prepared to slowly let my dreams of hip blue doors wither and die, until Jessica, the paint whisperer, spent close to an hour creating the swatch from scratch and matched the chip perfectly! Hooray!

First, the reason this hardware store does not get 5 stars from me is because of the punk-​ass 20 something year old «local» kid working behind the register (probably lived in Mammoth for a whole 2 seasons!). He may have been fired or quit because I have not seen him there for awhile. Total lack of any customer service skills.
The good… Most of the employees are quite helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are very reasonable. I seem to always find whatever I’m looking for. The store is small and tightly packed (compared to a big city hardware store), but the place is well stocked with just about anything you need.
Bought a new garbage disposal there the other day. As I was looking around, an employee in his 80’s (no kidding) came up and asked me if I needed help. He assisted me in finding the right model, then proceeded to tell me in great detail how to install the disposal. I had never installed one before, but after talking with this nice man, I went home and had it working in about 20 min. with only a couple of glances at the directions. Now that’s service that’s hard to find in the big box stores.
Mammoth Do-​it-​Center… Great small town hardware store. Shop Local!

If the puppies were able to give a review it would be 5-​stars X 10!!! They love it here. They are allowed in the store and the moment they walk in, an employee finds them and gives them a treat! They get so much love there. =)
Aside from the doggie benefits, the employees there are so nice and helpful. Don’t expect the size of home depot, but they have just about everything you’ll need, pellets for the pellet stove, a snow shovel, snow sleds, light bulbs, patio furniture, humidifiers, and your usual home repair needs.
