I don't understand some of the reviews here. Yes, when you walk into the store, the staff…read moreimmediately asks if they can help you and they sometimes do go with you to the aisle for the purpose of,.....(drum roll)....HELPING YOU! Good gravy people! Some of you are acting like you want to NOT have anyone to EVER help you! If that is the case...GO TO LOWES! They will be happy to NOT give you any assistance, and they hire plenty of people who have no earthly idea how to do anything other than play on their phones. E&T Hardware is a gem! Elgin is lucky to have a great place where we can go get what we need quickly and have people there who know what they are talking about. And so, some of the prices, not all, but some are a little more than the big box stores. The way I look at it is, my time is worth more than saving a few bucks here or there. I value my time and will continue to give E&T first shot at just about everything I need and only go to Lowes or HD when either E&T does not have what I need or the price is such that I have no other choice.

However, I was very disappointed this past Saturday when I pulled up into the parking lot at 4:36 PM pulled on the door handle and it was locked .Peered through the tinted glass door , and a male individual signaled to me that they were closed. I immediately thought I must've read their hours wrong for a Saturday. As it turned out, I hadn't read them wrong. Their hours said they would be open until 5 PM. Boy I felt like I had been punched in the gut. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I made a special trip from out of town. I really felt unappreciated as a customer. Maybe the owner needs to realize that customer service is more than just assisting people inside the store, but also entails giving reliable information to their customers. Still uncertain if I'll ever go back.!

They have a great selection of various casual brand names for men, women and some selections for children. I have always found the prices very competitive.

Our family recommends a visit.

I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else for anything bike-related. Cycle Center has earned a…read morecustomer for life! Their customer service is outstanding, they're honest, their prices are fair, and they do exceptional work without trying to sell you things you don't need. I recently moved to the area and needed a tune-up for my bike. I went to Outspokin' Bicycles first and the guy I talked to couldn't even give me an actual price to tune-up my bike, just kept saying, "It's going to be very expensive to fix this, I recommend just buying a new bike." Even after explaining that buying a new bike wasn't in my budget and that I simply wanted a tune-up, they continued to tell me how expensive it would be to fix my bike. They listed a long series of repairs, never gave me a clear estimate, and said it would be more than two weeks before I'd get my bike back. Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion at Cycle Center--and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, they were friendly, honest, and helpful. They gave me a clear, very reasonable quote, completed the work in just two days, and when I picked up my bike, I could hardly believe it was the same one. It looked and rode like new! It's refreshing to find a shop that genuinely cares about its customers, provides quality workmanship, and charges fair prices. If you're looking for a bike shop you can trust, I highly recommend Cycle Center. They exceeded my expectations in every way!
