They do have a good selection of items. The management needs to find a way to create a happier environment for their employees however. Compared to other places I shop locally all the time the attitude in here seems like prison sentence versus a good job to work at. Bickering among employees in front of customers, long faces, poor attitudes seem to be a common theme the last 3 times I have been here. There are other quality options in Fairbanks to get the same supplies and tools with a smile and a genuine thank you. I would only want to come back here as a last resort.
This is my husbands favorite store, me not so much 🤣. But it is a good place to drop him off and get some stuff done.Ok, AIH hear me out... a waiting area!! You know how men always complain about their wives dragging them to the craft store, etc and there being no place to sit? You can blaze a trail & be the first one to do it! 😂
Helpful employees but a lot of items were not in stock. They could not give me an estimate on when they might have a resupply, although they did their best to find out .
Next time I am looking for workwear I know where I will go. I also got a good knife, cleaning supplies and fuel oil supplies including a bung wrench, and the have both Goldenrod and Standard fuel oil filters. I saw sweet deals on both hand and electric fuel transfer pumps, so next time I need one of those thats where I will go too
Very helpful and they helped me get a chisel !I never know what to look for in a hardware store
A step up from the big box stores. They try their best to keep prices competitive and their inventory high.
They are hiring, hot dudes and power tools
Great place, bought the Bosch cordless kit when cordless was just taking off, one battery still works, since 2002.
Good place to get what you need for work.
I am very disappointed they coerced their employees to make the get a vaccine they didnt want. This should be a choice not a forced vaccine. Sad that our locals did this.😥
Always enjoy browsing the isles. I usually find something I didnt know I needed. Wish they had big sales more often though.
Tools - clothing - and almost everything in-between wonderful customer service
Lots of stuff like, green gas wich i cant find anywhere else. But the best part is the entire store in pdf catalog which u can download in sections or the whole thing
Always good place to find those hard to find things you need to get the job done
Prices seemed high but staff was friendly and they had most of what i needed
The employees their were very respectful and helpful. Will be going back for more items as needed. A bit expensive but needed for emergencies
I had great customer service by the employee Gordon. He showed me all the right equipment. He went above and beyond. Thanks AIH!
Definitely your go to for nuts and bolts and odds and ends.
The customer service here is good and the prices are usually reasonable. Have shopped there for a long time and will continue to.
Comprehensive collection of guy stuff at good prices.
Great customer service!
The only good thing doyon ever did
AIH is always my first choice when looking for any power equipment or tools
I work here so I’m kind of biased on this review but over all I think we have very friendly customer service and are willing to go the extra mile for our customers
The people who work here are awesome theres always some there that offers to help you find what you need they go the extra mile for there customers the person who checked me out at the register was polite and was proffesional I would give you guys 10 stars if it were an option you guys rock keep up the good work we will be returning and we will recommend people here this place is awesome :-)
Great place for hardware. If they dont have it, you dont need it! Decent prices. Knowledgeable staff.
This is one of my favorite places to shop. It has an amazing selection of tools and safety gear. It has most everything you need for cabin/farm supplies.
Im a Doyon Shareholder told I could get a d BBC discount well No Discount because its a tool I was buying, and I looked around the WHOKE Store is tools... I wanted a cord to essentially impact but not at full price.. I was looking to save a few bucks.. didnt buy.. went to Lowes and got an impact.. there cheaper.
Great tools
This is my go to place for tools.
Good prices, awesome selection.
Great layout. awesome super friendly and helpful staff. Quick service. Reasonable prices. Best part everyone was smiling.
I got so many good screws, they really nailed it...
Easy to find what I want. Well organized and spacious layout. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Union discount, bring dues receipt! Cool filtered air, too!
Great Christmas by aih
The counter people were extremely helpful...
Huge markup on tools. Milwaukee drill/driver set #2997-22 was $399.99 in the store and $284.99 on Amazon; same model number, same everything and Amazon shipped it free WITH the lithium batteries. AIH carries allot of high quality stuff and is ok in a pinch but its difficult to buy local when there is such a huge price difference. The pipeline days are over even though the take it or leave it mentality still prevails among businesses of this type; there are better options out there. Its not the customers responsibility to make sure every small business survives, its up to them to bring the customers in.Also, the owner has a huge chip on his shoulder against anyone who was ever affiliated with the military in any way; he told me that to my face about 8 years ago. Im reminded of that moment every time I drive past the store; very angry guy.
Best spot in town. Especially if you have the perk. They have all supplies.
This is my favorite hardware store! You can look freely for what you need, dont have to ask anyone to go in the back...but if you do have questions, everyone there is vert friendly and helpful. Jason is the best! He knows his stuff.
For all my work stuff, this is one stop shopping
Good service as expected
Its a good store just dont order by phone or online, go into the store and get what you need cause they screw up orders all the time
Its a good place to work😀
Excellent hardware store. Huge selection of specialty tools and equipment for construction. Very friendly service and well kept facility.
Great customer service.
People there are very helpful, a lot of tools that you need for almost any trade
A. I. Ouch is the phrase. Kinda on the spendy side but that being said top of the line tools and service. If u need a professional grade tool this is the place

They dont have everything but theyve always had what I need. This is definitely the first place to stop when looking for any tools or shop items that you might need. From trash bags and work gloves to shop vacs and many diferent power tools, you cant neat the price!
Numerous choices, prices reasonable on a lot of items.
If you cant find it here, you dont need it.
Worst customer service I have ever had from a company. I called in asking a simple question and the representative who answered the phone laughed at me for asking if they carried a battery replacement tool kit after I was told to call them by batterys plus bulbs.
Very helpful,had all we needed.
They were helpful
Great place with friendly people and a great inventory, just about anything you would want.....
Great place and nice people
Great service.
Awesome place. Not a bunch of made in China crap!
In and out with what I needed, with help of knowledgeable customer service oriented sales person. Thanks!
Google just asked how I like AIH. For the most part its an awesome store, you can find a lot of the bigger tools and industrial items you need for larger projects. HOWEVER, I am a huge DeWalt fan and this store ran ads all Summer Long promoting free batteries with the purchase of tools. I had to rain check 3 flexvolt batteries, to this day they still have not given me the batteries the store informed me its part of a promotional deal and until they receive the batteries they will not give me the batteries. This is basically false advertising because the add they had floating in the store granted me a free battery with the purchase of my tool. I bought 3 tools that entitled me to 3 flexvolt batteries. Thats just under $500 in batteries this store owes me, that was the only reason I bought the tools.
Only place for good commercial grade tools and staff is very informative.
Fully stocked with just about everything
Always have what we need and if by chance they dont can tell us where to obtain it
Got a big discount with a shareholder discount when u a regional shareholder if ak regions
Everything you need and even more that you want.
Well stocked. Friendly, helpful staff.
Good place to shop hardware. But try Sentry hardware first for better consumer services.
Everything you need, knowledgeable staff and tast.

AIH is the place we go when we need water connectors that are larger than the standard garden hose.
