    I bought my first boat ever at an outdoor show this past January, from Lake Holiday Marina. As I…read morehad no place to store a boat at that point in time, my salesman, Parker, indicated they would hold the boat for me until the weather broke. That gave me plenty of time to make room to park the boat at my property. There was no storage fee for this. A big advantage for me was that because they are a marina, when I went to pick up boat, Parker took me out on the lake and showed me the nuances and safety features of operating the boat. Again, this was my first time owning a boat, so being able to pick up my boat at the dock vs a dealer's show room was a big plus. As often happens with a new vehicle, weather it be a car or a boat, I had a couple minor problems, e.g. a defective battery. I had also broken a couple of the tire down clips and the winch was bent which made bringing the boat onto the trailer difficult. I contacted Parker, who introduced me to Greg the Service Manager. Greg is a great guy and really easy to get along with. He offered to fix everything, albeit much of the work was under warranty, with no fuss or condescending "how did YOU do this?", or otherwise implying everything was fault. I can't say enough about what great guys Parker and Greg are to work with. At no time did I feel pressured to buy anything. Both guys are eager to help and readily available to answer questions. Parker was extremely patient in dealing with my "newbie" phone calls! One while actually on a lake fishing! If you are in the market for a new boat, definitely check these guys out.

    This business is awful. The owner Tom called me and accused us of picking up our boat without…read morepaying for it and threatened us with legal action! I told him we'd paid for it and hadn't picked up the boat and that he needed to find our property and HE LAUGHED AT ME and said he wasn't interested in finding my property. He then had his secretary or office manager call me back to tell me that everything was paid WEEKS ago and to confirm that we picked up the boat. I told her we hadn't and about Tom's response. She ultimately found our boat and we have it now, but we will NEVER do business with them again. Stay away from this place unless you want to be threatened, laughed at and have your property lost-when you are in the right.

    I can't say enough good things about Midwest Boat Service in Woodstock! From start to finish, the…read morewhole team has been nothing short of professional, knowledgeable, and honest. It's rare these days to find a business that truly cares about both your boat and your experience as a customer, but that's exactly what you get here. From the moment I called, I was impressed by how friendly and helpful they were. They took the time to listen, explain what needed to be done, and even gave me some great maintenance advice for the future. You can tell right away that everyone there takes pride in their work and knows what they're doing. When I dropped off my boat, the shop was clean, organized, and well-run. They walked me through everything, kept me updated on progress, and never tried to upsell or rush me into anything unnecessary. The transparency and communication were excellent the entire way through. Their service work is top-notch -- they pay attention to every detail and do things right the first time. My boat now runs smoother than it ever has, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They also have great options for storage, detailing, and all the maintenance you could ever need, which makes it super convenient to keep everything in one place. Captain Dave and his crew are the kind of people you can trust. They genuinely care about the quality of their work and about keeping customers happy. It's clear they have years of experience and truly love what they do. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and high-quality boat service shop, Midwest Boat Service in Woodstock is absolutely the place to go. They go above and beyond every single time -- highly recommend to any boater who wants their vessel treated with care and expertise!

    I have dealt with capt. Dave and his crew ..Bill and Anton a few times over the past couple years…read moreand I can say nothing but positive things I've had more than a dozen boats and campers and I can honestly say these guys are top-notch and worth every dollar you spend you can always find somebody to do it cheaper And the quality sacrifice will not be worth it so make a smart call and show up here

    Oh my gosh, this is just such a GREAT PLACE! Dealerships use them. I went to my dent shop and they…read morerecommended this place for a leather seat repair. I called. Frank was so nice, gave me a quote over the phone. We scheduled. I was dropping off after hours. I called to leave a message and they answered the phone after closing!!! Who is nice enough to do that? He walked me through how to drop off, told me Frank would take great care of me and he did! I picked up what I can only describe as a perfectly brand new looking seat. You would NEVER know it had been repaired. So people if your seat sits wrong, is cracking, looking sad on the always used drivers side. There's HOPE for you! I saw the photos of how they even fixed the actual foam under the seat, not just the leather. I am so EXTREMELY HAPPY! I have to tell you to go here. Don't think about it. If you have a sad seat issue. It can be like NEW again! Call Frank! It doesn't cost a fortune either. Just make the call!

And the prices are truly incredible. I travel all the way from Joliet for their great quality service. I've been going to Riggs Brothers since I bought my brand new Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Convertible back in 2008. So I've been a loyal customer for over 16 years now! Mr. Kevin is the absolute best! It seems like he knows my convertible top like it was his. Every time I bring my car there with an issue he always finds and fixes the issue in a fast, incredible, timely fashion. I be so amazed ! I was just there today where he fixed my problem in minutes, and i drove away smiling with great satisfaction with the wind blowing in my face. I'm truly happy and very pleased with Riggs Brothers. If you have any issues with your top or interior I strongly suggest checking out Kevin with Riggs Bro and his awesome team of staff. They do a remarkable job and believe me you won't be dissatisfied!!
