1st time to this Hobby Store. Went with my Spouse & his Boss, who collects Trains. This place is huge, [ upstairs & downstairs.] Plan on spending an hour or more there, as they have R.C. cars, Trucks, Airplanes, Tanks, Trains, etc. If youre a serious hobbyist or a newbie, You wont be disappointed in their ample selections! I just wish they had Art supplies. Lol Great Place!! Friendly owners & staff too!
The workers are super friendly and helpful. They are very accommodating of everyone. Great selection of RC (Traxxas) cars and parts for them.
Great store. Nice variety of products for various hobbies. hobbies. Owner was very nice and even had a nice mascot dog named Nitro. I willbe heading back when.i need more supplies.
My husband went to American Hobby Center to drop off a train that we needed repaired. Much to our surprise, the train was fixed, on the spot, and he was out of the shop in 10 minutes. It was a great experience and we would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!!!
Ive been shopping in this store for years. If youre into trains, rc cars, plastic model kits, aftermarket parts for your vehicle. This is the place to go! Friendly service. Staff is very helpful.
Took my daughters model train in to be repaired and the man whose name I did not get fixed it right on the spot since it was minor while I waited. Exceptionally happy with the service provided there. This type of customer service is becoming a lost art. Drove all the way from Washington to Aliquippa for this to be fixed and I will definitely make the trip again should the need arise.
I am very pleased with my experience here . I bought a traxxas max and had some transmitter issues with it . this shop fixed the problem no cost to me even tho I think it was my fault.. great service great conversation an all around good place to spend some time and cash lol.. I will definitely be back in the future..., Ps support your local small business you’ll find your time and money will be better spent
Great customer service. Will already do his best to take care of you. Running a one man show can be hard, but he seems to handle the task quite impressively. A small business run the way a small business should be, with morals and integrity.
Very helpful and informative individual. I enjoyed the time I was there.
Such a gem. Walked in kind of skeptical. Much larger than it looks and has a decent bit of stuff. Best part was getting greeted by macy the pupper. Very warm welcome.
Ive just started going here recently since Im 30 seconds away and I knew he was a great guy since I walked in, always give me the best advice for what I do with my rustler vxl on buying parts, would reccomend to go here if your in the beaver county area instead of going all the way to cranberry!
Great selection of Traxxas parts. Also will do tune-ups and repairs for you and does good work.
If your into RC cars this is a great place to go..They have racetracks, trains and all accessories that go with them..Model cars for beginners to advanced builders and everything to assemble and detail them.....
If you are into hobbies or muscle items for hot cars and trucks, youll love this place. Lionel trains, remote control cars and trucks, h.o. , airplanes and helicopters, plus great help locating what you need. In Aliquippa, one of a kind.
They had the railroad track I needed for my model train, great family business to support
Great place! Awesome service! Rob came highly recommend to repair my American Flyer trains and he delivered!!
I have bought two of my sons rc cars from there I really like the owner he tells you everything you need to know about the cars I will never go anywhere else
The owner rob is great and very knowledgable. Always takes care of us when we need a part or help fixing something
They did not have what I was looking for, but the owner was helpful and pleasant. Would recommend for train enthusiasts.
They have everything you could want for your car/train hobby.
Great place! Ive dealt with them for years. Good prices, great service!
I love it. Its a wonderful place to shop because of so much inventory.

2021-12-24Was looking for a basic train set for under the tree and of course they had it. This little hobby shop is more big then little. It may look small as you approach but once inside you will be amazed. Trains...trains and more trains plus RC and model rockets and much more. Super nice owner and theyve been there for many years.

2021-11-14Amazing shop, i had drove an hour away from Ohio to unfortunately sell my train sets but it was worth it. The owner was very friendly, honest and helpful, He has been there for over 30 years he said and you can tell he takes pride in his store and treats every costumer with respect. If you are looking to grab your next model car, train sets and accessories, RC vehicles and so much more then please stop in and check his place out. He has very good prices as well!! So stop buying online and make the trip over to his store and help your local business! Everything is a lower price than online. I would definitely make the long drive again A+ experience!!

2021-12-20I am going to ad one star from my previous review, the people are very nice but service is terrible the guy that knows whats going on isnt always there, or may be installing truck accessories in the parking lot when you get there, then you will have to wait and wait and wait, his mother inside (very nice ) cant help with anything much...but I did drop off a train engine to be repaired and its fixed perfect, but waited about 35 min just to pick it up, He was outside installing a truck bed cover, his mother (very nice) says she cannot give you back your item that was repaired he has to do that...for a hobby shop just not good service, I must say tho train is working great and at a fair price I think, it also was repaired in about 2 weeks I think that was great also, just may have to wait or might not be able to be helped if you show up when he is not there I will be using hobby express in Cranberry great service there with plenty of help no waiting ever. I dont mind waiting a little but at American hobby every visit is not a convenient stop.

2022-02-28He was so amazing with my 5 year old. My son was asking so many questions and he was patient and answered all of them. And the amount of stuff he had was amazing!

2022-03-29Old school hobby shop with a focus on trains and RC cars. Worth a stop if you are in the area. Friendly mascot named Nitro will greet you.

2021-07-31The people running the place are great. The selection however leaves a lot to be desired. Their selection for RC is exclusive to Traxxas do if you are looking for another brand you will need to go elsewhere or wait for it to come in via a special order. The stairs leading to the main floor are quite steep and are easy to slip your footing by misjudging just how tall they are. Good selection of train stuff.

2021-01-28What fantastic service!Was desperately needing two particular colors of trim tape to complete an extensive large shrimp trawler model rebuild. A couple eBay sellers had one color but not the other and their shipping charges were ridiculous.Found these folks on line and although the web site was not cooperating, I phoned them and within minutes they had confirmed the availability of both colors I needed and easily handled the sale over the phone.Called just before closing on a Saturday and was promised my order would go in Mondays mail and on Wednesday, my tape arrived in Florida!

2021-11-01A great local hobby shop with a ton of inventory for RC, train, parts, etc. Rob can perform repairs in-house, also is very friendly and knowledgeable. So glad I found this shop for all my RC needs.

2020-12-05Went to this store for my first time. Was greeted by a friendly boxer, that made the trip worth it!!! Anyway I am setting up a train display in our store front for Christmas and the owner set me up with everything that I needed. He explained items that I needed, and did not try to up sell or push other items on to me. All around great trip and will be sure to stop back for future purchases.
