Dad's Guns and Golf Carts — Local services in Clearcreek Township

Bottom line: I do not recommend Dad’s Guns and Golf Carts if you need work performed on any of your weapons and/or accessories. The gunsmith is unprofessional, rude, careless, and unapologetic. Today I entered Dad’s Guns and Golf Carts to have a new, $600+ scope mounted onto my rifle. The scope had just been taken out of the box and the rifle, that had been passed down through several generations, was in pristine condition.

My rifle now has several scratches on the barrel, stock, and receiver faceplate. Additionally, the scope has seven scratches, three of which went completely through the coating. I was visibly upset with the resultant product and the gunsmith acted clueless about how the scratches got there, then attempted to “fix” it by coloring on the scope with a Sharpie.

Throughout the conversation with the gunsmith, the owner stood 20 ft away watching, but never said a word. Do not waste your time and money, or risk damaging family heirlooms, on Dad’s Guns and Golf Carts. The following are comments made by the gunsmith throughout my experience:

When I opened my gun case to show him my rifle he said, “what’s the problem with this scope? Why are we changing it? Which way are the rings supposed to face?” – It doesn’t matter why I want the scope changed and he should know which way the rings are supposed to face…

When my rifle was ready for pick-up, I received the following voicemail: “Hey, this is the gunsmith from Dad’s Guns and Golf Carts, your piece is ready, bye.”

When I arrived back at the store, the gunsmith was working behind the counter with his back to the store. I announced that I was there to pick up the rifle that just had the scope mounted. “Far right” was yelled at me. I looked around the store to see if my gun was sitting out and he again yelled “far right” and then pointed across the store at the end of the counter.

After confronting him about the scratches and pulling away from the Sharpie, he walked away from me stating “If you’re not happy, then I’m not going to charge you, go on.” Damn right I’m not happy; I’m not paying for piss-poor service.

I visited Dad's at the suggestion of my son. The store is located about an hour from where I live. Since I was planning a trip to a competitor who is in area. I figured why not...let's take a look.

I'm big on first impressions. I was not disappointed. The store is rather plain, its marked well enough. When I entered the store I was very surprised at the displays, the amount of inventory and how it was laid out. For a small store it was full but not, in my opinion cramped. I spoke with Chase and Jake. Both of whom were patient and informative. We discussed trade-ins, used and new items. Many things. I feel I got a decent price on a trade-in. I bought an optic and a light. Prices were fair. Chase took the time to install them both.

I'm a fairly new shooter and want to learn as much a I can. I never felt rushed or dissatisfied with their demeanor.

I will visit Dad's again when it's time to purchase an upgrade or...

I have a gun shop within half a mile from my house. I drive fifty minutes to Dad's. Its worth the drive if you want to be treated right. They have been beyond helpful and always have correct information on what they sell and what they buy. Fair and Honest goes a long way with me. Thanks for another excellent transaction. I will be back, again and again. I see bad reviews, I was once told if you run into a problem With a different person twice in a day you might be the problem. I have done business here and the previous location, sent many people here and they were all treated Very well and loved it. Disregard bad reviews more than likely it was the reviewer. I 100% have faith in this store and owner....
