😠 If you're looking for customer service, then look elsewhere, because the people who work here have clearly phoned it in. They've probably found they can keep their business going with out having to provide good customer service. So why bother right? I laugh at the other reviews in this section claim... People often mention pawn, service, customer, shop,

    Well I went back in there two days ago and a lot of difference in attitude. I was very happy I went back in and I'm glad that I gave them a second chance because they were very hospitable. They were polite and I will deal with them again. Their prices were always fair and I believe that they realize that I was a customer that brought them good stuff. And yeah so give it a shot go in there. Check them out. Just make sure you got all your ID , if you're going to pawn something

    Excellent service. Warm atmosphere. There are many great antique and collectors items for sale. Amazing selection of tools, instruments and jewelry. Photo lenses and camera bodies. Laptop computers, accessories and electronics. Worth paying a visit.

    Zero stars is much more suitable. Rude and obnoxious. Overpriced junk. Edit: Not my problem you have a bad memory. Just look at the other reviews and the picture becomes very clear...it's pretty obvious you are well known for poor customer service, bad attitude and like to argue with customers.

    I've been doing business with Metro Pawn for a few years now and couldn't be happier with their service. They are friendly and offer fair prices. They've been very generous by accepting a pawn for a loan when I was in a tight situation, which I'm grateful for. Overall, I would highly recommend them. They also have some really cool inventory too! -Taylor

    If I could give zero stars I would. This place is by far the worse place to go to pawn anything! I called before hand as I wasn't sure what they took for pawn, they said come in and we'll have a look. I went in to pawn something and the guy didn't even want to deal with me, he was very rude and very disrespectful to talk. His customer service was disgusting. He doesn't give anyone the satisfaction they deserve.

    I went to this shop in search of an electric guitar. The employees were friendly and didn’t try to pressure me into buying as well as allowed me to come back in to get a better look as well as take pictures to get a second opinion as none of us could definitively identify the exact model. They pretty much lent me a pick and left me alone to inspect and test out the unit which was great. I can’t say much about prices, haggling or the pawning aspect of this store as I didn’t end up making the purchase but I left the shop with a good experience

    They pay next to nothing and the tickets will confuse you and they ounce and take everything and they will say it’s gone and melted. Stay far from here.

    They do good business and are also very fair with prices and loans. From my experience they are understanding when it comes to hard times and will do there best to make an effort with getting your item back on a pawn if you communicate with them.

    If you're looking for customer service, then look elsewhere, because the people who work here have clearly phoned it in. They've probably found they can keep their business going with out having to provide good customer service. So why bother right? I laugh at the other reviews in this section claiming the staff are "friendly". Clearly someone had their friend leave a google review. My story is that I contacted this shop before hand. I explained to the staff over the phone that I have never used a pawn shop before, it was my first time, and I asked. "Is it as simple as I bring stuff in to sell and you appraise it and buy it?" To which the very lazy sounding man on the other side of the phone mumbled out a confirmation that it was that easy. At no point did the man bother telling me what I can and cannot bring in. So I lugged a bunch of stuff there only to have him tell me. "We won't take any of that." At this point I hadn't even opened up my backpack yet to show what other things I had brought. I explained what else I had, but in the end I wasn't able to sell anything. This was a complete waste of my time that could have been avoided had the staff made the minimum effort to clearly explain how their shop functions over the phone. Honestly it sounded like it was a chore for him to be on the phone at all. So if you're reading this dude, I'm so "sorry" I made you have to do your job. Life's hard eh? If you don't care about garbage customer service and lazy staff, then go ahead, but don't expect these people to put any effort in to what they do.

    I dealt with metropawn owner for the last five years and whenever I’ve needed help, they have been there and if I needed to go past the loan date, the owner was always willing to negotiate and help me out. This is the only shop I would trust to leave my property at knowing if I needed more time, they would always honour the loan as long as you honoured your end and paid for the extension.
