We love red box. They have great selections and it’s cheap.
Was helpful and satisfied
Redbox is easy to use and conveniently located almost everywhere.
Like any other one huh
Okay
This redbox is way out of date. You have to drive another 30 min to another location to get the newer movies because they’re not even an option on the screen.
2. Exxon
Address: 4155 Hwy 47, Shelby, AL 35143 , Shelby , Alabama , United States
The best gas prices around and friendly employees.
Clean and the wait wasn’t long even though it was busy.
Always clean and the prices aren’t to bad.
Ok
On April 8th I went to fill up my diesel with fuel and 10 miles down the road my diesel van quit in the middle of the highway. I had to push it about 4 ft off the highway in a dangerous situation. Had it towed to a Mercedes dealer and they informed me that there was gas in my diesel tank. Cost me four nights in a hotel and $1,800 besides meals Etc.
Everyone was very polite and attentive. They helped my daughter get what she needed to continue getting to know her guitar. Thanks guys!
Great help this morning. Helped me find a great instrument for my daughter.
Went in to browse the selection of records. Good selection to pick thru. Staff was very friendly, atmosphere is excellent. Enjoyable experience.
Good
Lots of great records for sale!
Sadly, it appears that GG is moving away from guitars — their bread and butter. This is no longer the place where I bought a Taylor 614ce and a Rickenbacker 381. Nowadays there’s not much of a selection, and the actual Fenders, etc., have been replaced by the cheaper, Asian-made cousins from Squier and the like. Too bad; I know times are tough, but it seems that GG is running up the white flag and surrendering.
These people are not honest and they will rip you off !
Great customer service and I bought 2 trumpets from here and their perfect
Everyone was not only friendly and helpful but extremely knowledgeable too! The person who helped me had a degree in music! (So much more than just a sales clerk.)
It’s nice that stores like Art’s are still around.
Very helpful but the instruments are pretty expensive
This is an excellent music shop with any kind of music instrument or sheet music you might be looking for – whether student model or professional level instrument they have it. Recommended
Late or Cello repairs, They had my Cello for 2 days to reset the bridge (takes 15 mins) I had to pick it up and do it my self.
Arts is overpriced.
No help prices to high
10. Bailey Brothers Music Company
Address: 4673 US-280 Suite # 7, Birmingham, AL 35242 , Shelby , Alabama , United States
Easily the best music store in Bham. Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always have what I need!
Excellent customer service. I worked with Gibson over six months in trying to find a warranty replacement, and within a week of Gibson enlisting Bailey Brothers to help they had my issue resolved. Bailey Brothers had a great selection of awesome guitars and were very helpful in picking out the right one. I will definitely take a look here the next time I’m ready for a new Gibson.
We always go here for our musical needs. I love the place. They are always friendly and helpful. I would recommend any musician to this place.
It was my first time in the store and I had an excellent experience. David was very helpful and friendly as well as the other staff present. The online site lacks a lot of the guitars they have in stock because they get new guitars a lot so I would advise actually going into the store to see their wide selection.
Great customer service. Great selection. However, I was NOT thrilled to see their logo custom printed onto the snare head I bought. Would have received 5 stars if not for that. Going to remove it with some acetone.
Usually get good service, but I took my guitar nut to be repaired after my guitar took a spill. I let them know the guitar had fallen and hoped they would fix. The nut was replaced poorly but the guitar had a buzz. Took it back 2 more times. The last visit, the person in charge of the repair (2 weeks later)said I had heavy fingers and raised the stings to a height that made the guitar unplayable. I took to another repair shop and they repaired the nut replaced by Bailey Brothers found a couple of uneven frets repaired the frets adjusted the neck and had to re-setup the guitar from the disaster repair at Bailey Brothers. If in need of repairs I will never return to this store.
I left my guitar with this store in February 2012 for a simple repair. In June it was still hanging waiting for them to repair. I had been told on multiple occasions that it would be ready in just a few days. I picked it up today June 24, 2012 and no repair has been done and I was still charged a bench fee. This place sucks. I will never go in there again. Good luck if you do.
No stars really. Not a very good merchant. Let someone use my credit card number without the card! Be careful!
manager and owner very racist!
11. Gadsden Music Company – Birmingham
Address: 4524 Southlake Pkwy, Birmingham, AL 35244 , Shelby , Alabama , United States
Had the clairanet thumb guard pillow we were looking for
Did a wonderful job on repairing my trumpet. Highly recommended.
Got what we needed
Nice little music store for concert students. Not much in store selection but they can get what you need. This is not a guitar center type store.
No Gibson guitars.
I was looking for an instrument on a budget and they said they didn’t in a rude manner and while walking out, I heard them laughing at me. Absolutely disappointed that people would treat potential customers in such a manner.
We came in to purchase a violin for our child. They had one in stock, but the gentleman helping us was unable to answer any questions about it and the other two employees working there did not seem interested in helping us either. Considering the great reviews that this store has, we expected our experience to be much different than this. We ended up purchasing a violin at another store where they had knowledge of the instrument and took the time to answer our questions.
The man working the front desk was not friendly at all. Never made eye contact. Made me feel like I was not welcomed in his store. He probably didn’t know was I am renting an instrument from him. Hopefully I will never have to walk back in his store.
12. Guitar Center
Address: 1694 Montgomery Hwy, Hoover, AL 35216 , Shelby , Alabama , United States
Great place. Excellent, knowledgeable employees. Beautiful guitars. Everything for the musician
Exelente lugar
I gave this 3 stars because it’s one of the smaller Guitar Centers I’ve been to (but hey, it’s Alabama so, what do you expect?) and because one of the sales guys in accessories was a real class A douche bag trying hard to force me to buy strings I didn’t need or want.
Overall though, not a bad store.
Always the typical Guitar Center selection.
Always friendly help.
I’ve been to a lot of music shops over the years, but this one is like the Lowes of music shops.
You can order what you want,
There is usually someone in the store who can help you figure it out,
But they are definitely “good” rather than “best”.
Very good place though unless you have the higher than average expectations.
Not as cool as it once was.
Bad bad customer service. Just left from there the guy was helping me his name is DJ . Rude don’t want to talk nice . Bad customer service please stop going there. Bad customer service.
Limited selection amps and guitars. Dissapointed. Went in to buy. Should have known better when I pulled up and 2 employees are out front smoking and no customers in the store.
This is the second time this has happened to me at GC. Instead of the customer service rep waiting on me and when finished, waiting on the next customer, he would find out what the next customer wanted and if he felt like taking care of that instead of me, he would stop what he was doing with me and help someone else. Then answer the phone then get back to me but then help another customer too. Soon he had 4 of us standing around waiting for him to finish with each of us while he talked on the phone to yet another customer. What should have taken 20 minutes took over an hour. When he finally got my keyboard, the box was all beat up and taped up. It was obvious that it was a product that someone brought back and it was being sold to me as new! I was pissed.
Bob, the owner, is amazing. He knows guitars and is an expert player. Some very interesting vintage guitars for sale as well.
Actual experts in instrument repair
I could talk to Bob Tedrow all day. And he would listen! Better yet, I get even more enjoyment listening to him. Jason Burns is a master crasftman, and treats every customer and every guitar with individual attention.
Friendly atmosphere and lots of instruments.
Good product, Good service.
I’ve never dealt with someone so rude over the phone. The owner tried to guilt me with sarcasm and acted like victim when I questioned a price. Full story: I asked to order a cello string. All was going well (owner answered questions about speed of shipping and availability of the string), but then he quoted a price ($81) that was far above what other shops charge. I said respectfully that “I’ve purchased the string for $45 at other walk-in shops” and he became sarcastic and argumentative with me, claiming he was “holding my hand” through the process, and said “Well, I have to pay $35 for this string so what do YOU think is fair for ME to make? $15? What is 35 + 15, huh? Ohhh, maybe $50 is more than you can afford?” A simple, “well this is my price” would have been fine as a response from him, but I felt disrespected so I hung up and decided I’m never going to spend a dime Homewood Musical Instrument Co. I advise everyone else to steer clear of this shop and the guy who owns it.
Michael has done a great job on all our installations and has just finished a repair from lighting damage. I highly recommend his work.
I am Fr Reju Pynadath, Administrator, St Aloysius Cstholic Parish, Bessemer, Al.
Very Prompt responses:-
Mr Michael Panepento & Hagan were so ready to reach out and help us at an emergency need.
They didnt want us to go for anything unnecessary. We were able to renew our existing PA sytem at an affordable cost. Every member of the congregation is so happy about the works of Alabama Music & Audio Supervision.
As they are highly experienced in the Audio/ Video field we were able to make use of some of our already existing equipments.
I recommend them whole heartedly. They are so good… Thank you.
It is difficult to describe how happy I am with this team.
It is very rare to have access to this level of expertise at a
very fair rate, charged on an à la carte basis.
What you can expect:
-Professional well educated technicians who seem to enjoy what they are doing.
-Conscientious responsible installation, which any other technician could work behind with ease.
-Expert and well informed system designers who will over see your choices. Or if you prefer, recommend well vetted choices. If you need it and I did, they will consult on your current equipment and revamp and fill in as needed.
As I see it they offered all options.
They answered the questions that I had after consulting with other technicians and sales representatives.
I purchased a house in May of 2017.
Within a couple months I realized that there were issues with the home theater, as well as the whole house sound system.
After trying three times with other so called professionals (2 boutique, 1 big box) And many thousand dollars…
In the Middle of the 2019 holiday season I finally found and contacted the AM&AS.
I knew immediately this group would solve my problem.
My only questions remaining were the ones I could answer…
What I wanted? and what I was willing to pay for it?
Everything else… they took care of in a professional timely and respectful manner.
They were careful to anticipate potential issues that other techs couldn’t
navigate when they were surprised by them.
By the holidays I had entertainment.
Shortly there after the entire system was complete and exactly what I wanted.
I sincerely doubt I could have achieved this result without this company.
If I had, it would have cost a great deal more. (which really means I would not have).
Thanks guys you have opened my eyes to the possibilities.
I am trying to decide on the next project, though there is not doubt about my first call.
