    Wow! Fresh start custom painting in palatine painted our 20+ year old patio furniture set that looked just terrible. I was Cautious about the project and the cost but between Fresh Start doing the painting and Viking Ski and Patio doing the strapping we saved money from a new set and didn't touch a landfill for a great set. Both fresh start and Viking did a great job. Pictures are after both and they look brand new versus 20+ years old

    Would be really helpful if your hours of operation were accurate. Drove out of my way on a Wednesday only to find the store closed.

    My daughter skis enough each winter between Avalanche Club (highly recommend) and a few trips out…read moreWest that it's worth renting skis for the season. Avalanche has a partnership with Scandinavian Ski Shop so we got her skis here for this season. We've gotten her skis at both Viking and William's in the past and I found Scandinavian to be the most efficient and best customer service. We booked an appointment for a Sunday afternoon in the fall and were in and out of there in 20 minutes...with skis in our hand. We just needed some snow, which didn't show up for a few months later, but she was ready to go for her first trip thru Avalanche in December. We returned the skis this week after she used them for Spring Break and I was a little worried it was late in the season, but they said we could have kept them until May. Granted they would be collecting dust in our garage for the next months since ski season seems to be over everywhere, but glad to know they are flexible. I'll likely buy her a pair of skis next year since I think she's fully grown so it's not worth renting season after season, but based on the rental experience I'd consider buying them from Scandinavian. They also have a great collection of jackets, helmets and other winter/ski gear that I'll be sure to check out for our entire family next year. It was another fun year on the slopes and thankful to Scandinavian for getting her ready for it!

    The worker was super kind and helped me get a box. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone…read morelooking for winter gear. The prices were fair and had great sale items. Will be back soon!

And conveniently located right in lake Geneva! I walked in intending to get new skis and boots and walked out with a great pair of used skis with bindings which he did not need to do..he could of sold me new skis but he listened and knows when to proactively give suggestions without being pushy and it turns out the used skis were exactly what I wanted! Jayson is a real genuine guy that listens! He has a lot of knowledge and after the purchase of the boots I came back and did a custom fit because of a few pressure points in them which made skiing unbearable..after an hour I had a custom fit on the liners of my boots and they are SO COMFORTABLE NOW. During the whole process he graciously explains what he is doing and the reasons for it which made the whole experience seamless. I love my new skis and boots and I cannot wait to put them to good use. Most ski shops near Chicago or Milwaukee do not offer what board shop has and that is QUALITY Service..and a listening ear. They actually care; which sets them apart and really is "gold standard" for ski shops which is rare. Thank you Jayson you're doing it right!! So happy this is so close to home.

I have found no deals on any golf clubs here in the last 6 yrs. If I find a club I need to fill a broken set, it is always priced too high (they are higher than any other Play It Again Sports (PIAS) by 20-500% for exact match club brands) and they are unwilling to negotiate a lower price except by less than 5%. By comparison to other Play It Again Sports - Shaumburg, Crystal, I was able to purchase the 2 needed clubs at 25% and 16% of the "negotiated" price of an identical club at the Waukegan Ave PIAS store. I do not recommend this store for any golf items. I will never again go to this store for any reason. It is not worth the trip (25 mi.) to waste my time. DB

Kevin, was super professional, informative, patient and friendly. He helped me find 3 pairs of boots and skis for my kids. The selection they have with sporting goods is unmatched. They have every thing a parent or new athlete could possibly need. Prices are great and some of the items are in new condition!! I will update with photos soon, as I plan on going back to get more items.
