This store steals your private personal information. They record your license number if you use a card which can be used to look up your address, police records and a number of other things. Its private information.The first time I went here I told them thats not ok to write down because its sensitive private information. Finally they called a manager or owner and after talking to the person on the phone they processed my payment without putting me at risk and storing my personal private information. I went again today and a lady named Judith was there and I tried to make a purchase and again they tried to take my personal information. I told them we went through this last time and she said she didnt care who they called last time or what they said she was getting my private personal information. A signature proves I was there. I wont shop here again and they have a whole pile of information from people putting them at risk for ID theft.

Minerva and Karla were friendly and easy to work with. Only criticism would be that I had a platinum ring, but they weren’t familiar enough with platinum to feel comfortable taking it. Other than that, I can highly recommend them.

Minerva n Karla gave the absolute best price on an Asus gaming laptop that used normally goes for $800+ for less than half that. Honestly Im blessed to find this pawn store, just on the luck of Google bringing me a search for the best place to sell a used laptop.

Review №36

Horrible pawn shop. They are a joke. I brought in beautiful jewelry, they told me they only pay top dollar for boring old round shape diamonds. When people actually are seeking the unique like princess, marquis, emerald cut diamonds. But what can you expect when you leave two young ignorant employees to run the business.

Big thanks to Anahi and Jesus for getting me out of a pickle by giving me the best cash offer i could get. Every other pawn shop will low ball you and not give a hoot. But these guys are straight real cool peeps and do care about the customer and will not screw you over in trying to make a quick buck off you. Thanks Guys for bring great people. Top notch customer service guarantee.

Amazing place! My first time there was the other day and I can tell you they have all my future business. Clean and organized. And the manager Judith is amazing. She was very friendly and quick. Ive never had a better experience at any other pawn shop. I was actually having a bad day that day and going there changed that for me. I highly recommend alma school pawn

As I rushed to get to the pawn shop after work to see if I can pawn my gold chain to get some money to hold me over until I receive my upcoming check, Judith and Ana were very kind and let my boyfriend and I in the store just 2 minutes before closing. They were very friendly and provided fast and efficient service. This was my first time pawning jewelry and they were very helpful, I will definitely be coming again in the future if needed.

Review №56

After reading others reviews, I had high hopes for Alma School Pawn. We visited today, and while they probably gave us low-fair value for our items, the customer service was lousy. Rather than the friendly, helpful service mentioned in the majority of other (real?) reviews, the two young ladies working there hardly spoke to us, never smiled or said please or even thank you at the end of our transaction. They spoke to each other in Spanish much of the time. To those of us who dont speak Spanish, and who happen to be your customers, this is as rude as if you whispered to each other in front of us. One of these charming ladies said to me, Hey, will you move? so that another customer could step in front of us. Hey, will you move?! A refresher on customer service is in order here.We will likely not take our business here in the future.

Review №57

I was so stranded when I had an emergency ticket from a last year toll and I needed to handle that ASAP and when I visited Alma School Piwn, Judith was not only kind but welcoming and had such a good heart, I managed to settle my ticket on time and because of this store, no police officer can pull me over about a suspended license or an unusual stop, when I returned to the store, Judith even played with my son and you walk in this store with smiles you leave with smiles, I fully recommend if you ever need anything, this is one of my best Pawn Shop Experience ever. Thanks Guys, keep up the good work.

Review №65

The ladies here were great. After dealing with nothing but rudeness at a few other local places it was refreshing to finally be treated like a human. Most places are quick to judge simply based on how you look, and assume/treat you like you arent intelligent. The service here was awesome. The supervisor was very polite and helpful. She definitely went above her mandatory duties to help me out in demoing my equipment for a quick loan. The ladies were very friendly and very patient. I was comfortable here knowing that they treat their consumers right. I will be back to do more business with them in the future. Thanks!

Review №70

Anna and Nirvana have been super nice and professional every time Ive gone in to pawn or sell, even though I was skeptical and not exactly the easiest customer to deal with both times I went there. I can say with full confidence that they give the best prices on gold and jewelry out of anybody in the East valley (trust me, I checked). They are honest, and I will be going back next time I need to pawn or sell anything.

Gave this pawn shop a call early at 9am when they say they would open and was greeted by a gentleman named Eric. He later told me he would like to take a look at the item I was selling, so I went to the pawn store and let him take a look. We further discussed price and he was more than helpful showing me what my item was selling for and what he was willing to give me. Of course he gave me an offer I couldnt refuse. Walked out a richer man. Thanks to Eric @almaschoolpawn.

Christian and Eric were really helpful. On a Friday night, just a few minutes before closing me and my two sons stopped by the shop to get a video game for the weekend. The door was locked and they noticed my kids were with me. They gave us a few minutes to get a good game in fact it was a game that Christian had recommended and we really appreciate it.THANK ALOT YOU GUYS

Review №85

If youre looking to pawn or sell something, and the two sedentary women are working... do yourself a favor and just turn around and leave. If you want to be lied to, be subjected to attempts of manipulation, and be treated with hostility the moment you walk through the door, youll want to call ahead and make sure theyre there.Its difficult to have any faith in a business that would make the decisions to hire either one, let alone both.Therefore, my recommendation; avoid the place completely... There are plenty of other pawn shops around where youll be guaranteed to get treated like a valued customer. Any one of them will be better than this place.
