I was searching for a metal supplier that also provides custom fabrication services. I called several companies in the LA area and BOBCO was the only company that had the exact material in stock. The prices were also very reasonable. Overall, I had a great experience with my customer order. I will definitely be a returning customer for future projects.
I decided to build a gate and was referred to purchase my materials from BOBCO. The prices were much better than any other metal supplier in the area and the staff was very helpful. Definitely recommend for all metal needs!
Still a great selection but seems that thier prices have gone up! Good staff
Great spot for metal supplies and any construction materials. When I need to fabricate material for an architecture or art job they work out a good deal and get the job done fast. Owners have been working there for more than 30 years and know what you need.
Customer service is lacking. Whenever I call to get a quote on some materials it seems like Im bothering the person on the phone. Truly a disservice is being done to this amazing business I really hope the owner sees this message and does something about the horrible customer service.
Busy place and can be a little chaotic if youre looking for smaller pieces of scrap but the guys that work there are helpful. Definitely try not to forget your calipers or tape measure like I did but some guy named Oscar help me out. Unfortunately I couldnt find any quarter inch steel plate bigger than like 18-in square or any steel l bracket 3x3 big enough for what I needed but they clearly have lots of metal
This place sells all kinds of metal items both new and leftovers pieces at a discounted price. Way better than a scrap yard.
If you plan to buy online ! Don’t! After I placed my order I received an email where they asked me to explain how I got the prices on my cart ! They canceled my order because the prices from their website are wrong . In 2 sentences they asked me 3 times how I got those price . Who ever is doing their website is failing ! And his not take any responsibility for his mistakes. Not returning to them because they accused me of doing something to get online prices in their own system. And cancel the order because of their mistake. For what I know they don’t care about new clients or new small businesses. And any business not honoring online orders should stick to yard sale . Yes ! By law they aren’t obligated to honor orders due price mistakes but Moral your client is your success! This company does not appreciate their clients . I do recommend looking to do your business with other business then bobcometals
Bobco is a perfectly acceptable outdoor steel yard. They have a lot of decorative gate and fence stuff and roofing and decking and things like that. Basic steel fabrication stuff, nothing exotic. I guess they do have some stainless steel. obviously everything has a little bit of rust on it but thats just the nature of an outdoor steel yard. at least it doesnt rain a lot in Los Angeles. Obviously if I needed something exceptionally clean or some kind of fancy aluminum or a particular alloy I might try IMS first but for 80% of what Ill ever need Bobco is the answer.
In dealing with Bobco for the past 15years my experience . has been the best from supply to customer service I will continue to be a customer
Great place for materials.
No help, no service. Employees are impolite and cocky. Worst place to shop at.
I phoned in my order and made sure everything is ready before I pick up. Salespeople were very helpful and assisted me well. Prices are good too compared to others. Would buy from them again on my next project.
Helpful and friendly employees. Very reasonable prices. Large selection
Terrible buying a rim plate in their yard wanted to charge me over a dollar a pound for regular mild Steel be careful what you by there and how they charge you its the principle I would never ever buy anything in that store ever again
If youre looking for any types of metal/s. This is the best place to be - from Aluminum to Stainless ( all sizes and all forms), including your hardware needs, they have it. Plus sales reps are very helpful. Good customer service!
Too clouds space too narrow
You guys should have a page where you can show products and prices. So it’s easy to quote prices.
I have been a customer for a long time, Im a welder so I need metal all the time. They have not only metal, but also motor for gates an many artistic left over metal, paint, etc.
Wide selection! great prices!
The online hardware condition and on time. At the store, the employees treated me with great customer service and had I had no problem customizing the width and length of materials I needed. The prices are also by far the best

Very horrible customer service rude and unprofessional... Employees were playing dice instead of helping the customers..i had to load my materials myself and when staff noticed rushed to help me...
No customer assistance and only the counter help speaks any English. The place is an absolute mess. Im doing a welding project for my home and this is the second time Ive been in there since about a decade. It was disorganized then, so I figured I would return to see if anything had improved. It got worse. I was in search of flat ornamental steel to finish my gate project. The minute I stepped in there, it was rather dark and dingy and in disarray. They didnt have enough of what I needed in stock. Only one piece. I waited in the sales line for counter help and I got the classic run around. The counter sales referred me to another guy that was weighing scrap metal and all he could do was point and grunt. After that I walked right out and I wont be back.
Weve been doing business with Bobco Metals for years. They are professional and great to work with.
Great place to find steel pieces but poor customer service
Great selection of steel. The cashiers are ok but the workers are friendly
Been a customer for about 2 years and have made orders online as well as at the store. The online hardware condition and on time. At the store, the employees treated me with great customer service and had I had no problem customizing the width and length of materials I needed. The prices are also by far the best
Terrible service by last attendee in the back white man .
Sales associate Jigo was very helpful in completing my order. I highly recommend him when you visit Bobco.
This is the first time shopping at BOBCO for square tubing and diamond plate steel, and I must say that the service was great. The prices, even better. One of the managers, Alan, really helped me and made sure I was taken care of. Compared to M&K and IMS, BOBCO’s price doesn’t even compare they are so good. I will definitely come back and buy more material from BOBCO for my next project
The employees treated me with great customer service and had I had no problem customizing the width and length of materials I needed. The prices are also by far the best!!
This time around the person on the counter was friendly and helped me greatly. The guys on the yard were really moving fast even though it was busy.
Very good
Two days ago I bought plates from this place, price is very good and employees are nice. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends.
This company might have good prices and/or provide the products that people need. But I never got that far. The worker had a very aggressive and impatient tone as I tried to get a quote for sheet metal. I tried to clarify myself, but he just got more rude asking me what I meant. Dont want to use them at all. Dont even care what product theyre selling. Customer service is still important today.

I went to the store on Monday April 24, and had a very bad experience. The owner was abusing his power and blamed me for something that happened that I had no part in. The whole time I spoke with him courteously, but he wouldnt come off his high horse. I reminded him that he should be more respectful of his customers, I hope the message gets through because what I experienced wasnt right.
Bobco had exactly what I was looking for. I was sceptical to go based on the reviews, but my experience there was great. I went straight to the store and was treated with great customer service. definitely going back.
Great place cheap metal
Its the go-to place for your metal needs
THEY ARE GREAT ON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO PRICES GOOD VERY HAPPY WITH THEM.
They take too long 😪 lack of labor and management
I have given this place chance after chance because it is less than a half mile from my shop. I have no idea how they are still in business. So so so unorganized. The metal that I get always has dents and dings to the point where I am having to search for usable pieces. I build and sell products made of steel. It should not have dents in it already. Every single time is just unacceptable by far.
UPDATE: Bobco made this right. When they got my materials in stock, they shipped it to me free! Thank you so very much!!Do not shop here! I ordered something that was out of stock. They took my payment and told me it would be in stock in a month. When I asked for a refund, they said their account was hacked and I should go through my bank. They did not refund my money OR help at all. No wonder this company has 2 stars!!
Great
Called this place and their sales agent was a total A-Hole. That guy deserves to be fired! Never doing business with them. Their not the only metal dealer in town. Glad I never gave them any money. Big middle finger to this company!
I’ve been purchasing metal from many stell suppliers in Southern CA for over 15 years. I began purchasing from BOBCO in 2010 and They were the only company that always had exactly what I was looking for without a minimum order quantity. On top of their great inventory, I have yet found any other company that has unmatachabke prices without lowering the quality of materials. I definitely reccomend BOBCO for anyone purchasing any type metal, without having to worry about premium prices and bad customer service. Their delivery service is also great, especially for hardware.
Perfect place if you look for a specific use piece of metal
Went to the store on Thursday January 25th to pick up a sheet that they said they had in stock the week prior. Called 3 times with no response to my voicemails.While I understand the market for aluminum fluctuates, they weren’t willing to stick to the quote that they gave me the prior week when I called the day of to pick up the metal. After I arrived, I tried to negotiate again, to no avail.I paid the extra $100 difference from the quote, only to find out the material hadn’t been in stock for over a month. Leaving me with the unfortunate option to pay another $100 to a larger sheet (once again, with no negotiation.)If I had a better supplier I would have gone to them, but the major LA metal supplier we went to messed up our delivery order. I probably won’t be coming back to using this as a source again.
Shop here if you have to.. pretty bad customer service. Every time I buy steel here they screw up order.. M&K or IMS are better choices..
You have to know what you need, which will make for an easy visit. Bring wipes or gloves.
Rude people answer the phone with deep accents and barley speak English. They tell me I dont know how to speak. When I get down there to buy angle iron the metal was bent already and not at the angle it should be. There prices and service isnt better than M&K metals on south western
Bad customer services......Cheating and hiding. Do not be scammed anymore.
Good service and very employees
The best prices and the best people work there even if you not have much money there is something for you people like roberto and oscarand the rest are great people.
The metal looked fine before I asked them to cut it. I will never go back.
Bobco is helpful and they will get you what you need. They go the extra mile to help you.ReneeAFCO
First visit today - good selection, xclnt pricesAnd damn - traffic in LA is miserable . . .
The owner Hamid is nice. The guy Max who answers the phone, needs a serious lesson in customer service. Rude, short, and abrupt. After reading the reviews of this place, Im hesitant to go, but will check it out anyway....
Could be much more helpful with people who dont know much about whats not going on. huuuhh 🤔
Very bad customer service. The order was incomplete and they promised to call next business day - no any calls . When I call next day, the sale representative told me that they are very busy and I need to call later - it was 8:00 a.m. I did not get my complete order, nor they provide me with any refund.
No customer service whatsoever
I was going to call them, but not after these reviews... ouch
I ordered 2 rolls of barbed wire and only 1 was delivered. When I contacted them, they refunded me.
Very slow to get materials loaded. Waited over 45 min for 1 piece of metal. Make time if you but from here
Good people nice service..
Went there to get some tubular metal. Waited for over 40 minutes to try and get the yard personnel to help...What a joke...
The Sales people over the phone are rude,unhelpful, and down rite arrogant
Good service!
It sucks
Buy well
Customer service is excellent and very friendlyI recommend it 👍
VERY FRIENDLY LATIN STAFF BUT VERY RUDE PHILIPPINES
The cashier is despot, they have a terrible treatment to the client, !!!
Very good prices and very good attention thanks.
It is a bad experience to buy in that place if you are new in the area of metals, you are going to have a bad time in this place, there is no one in charge of showing you the materials, it is a very messy and dirty place, and very bad attention, for To order you have to know and carry the list with names and measurements of each thing, stand in front of a counter until the subject wants to ask what you need,
The staff may be good, but alas, a little vofo, who for me is dealing with his old age problems and behaved very badly.
I did not like the service and wait 2 hours after paying to lift the material
I went to bobco to buy pipe and it was all rusted, when I return it they give me a very hard time to do it, I wait for one hour and a half for them to accept the return.This is a junkyard the worst place to buy metal. I recommendIMS metal supply at the valleyI went to buy tube from Bobco and the tube was all rusty and to return it they took as long as they wanted they took an hour and a half to accept the return and download it from my troka.That place is a metal trash can.I recommend IMS metal supply in the valley
Sinaloa style roast chickenits excellent !!!!
Very bad service, sellers do not attend and insult ..
Very stupid who answers the phone, does not even know what they sell.
Good prisoners, but much wait
