Blain's Farm & Fleet - Elgin, Illinois — Local services in Elgin

This Farm and Fleet is crazy amazing. It is so much cooler than every other Farm & Fleet I have ever been to. The differences between the store in South Elgin on Randall Road and this store here on Peace Road in Sycamore are staggering. Only here in the country can you find John Deere tractors for children, dirt bikes, crossbows, archery, Guns & Ammo, baby chickens and all of the Necessities needed to raise them to full grown egg-laying adults. You can purchase all sorts of organic fruits nuts mixes spices candies and the like in bulk. In the back there is a full-service automotive shop that does brakes wheel alignments changes out your windshield wipers checks all your fluids charges your air conditioner changes tires and even oil. Not sure if they have transmission service or not but they have a full-service stereo Center and I believe that they even do window tinting. Just called the store if you are uncertain about anyting I stated above. I do get it wrong sometimes but this being one of my favorite stores to go to in Sycamore I have a pretty functioning memory of what they carry all the way from the As Seen On TV products to the little machines that are sold on late night TV like the George Foreman and the new one pot oven. They have smokers that use both wood and pellets and my favorite part about the entire store is that right after Halloween and shortly before Thanksgiving they cordoned off the entire center of the store and turn it into Santa Claus's workshop. If you have the opportunity to be there on the day that it opens, and have your children with you.........hahaha, that is one of the coolest things in the world to see the look on your children's faces when they do the unveiling and all of the newest and hottest toys that are coming out for the season are lined up row after row on the shelves just waiting for YouTube open your wallet and help Santa...

Very very nice and clean store. The only reason I took one star off is because I went completely around the huge store 3 times and passed numerous employees (some of which were doing absolutely nothing) and not one single time was I asked if I needed assistance with something. That really bothered me and I was even speaking kind of loudly about not finding sonething I was looking for. I saw an elderly gentlemen looking at 50lb bags of bird seed and he definately needed assistance loading his cart. I offered to help him and low and behold an employee was well within earshot of me speaking to him and they didnt ask to help. Actually when I made eye contact with the male employee he quickly jetted off as if he had a fire in his underpants. Was quite comical in a way. Still very dissapointing. The cashier was more than friendly and even offered to help me with the same brand of 50lb seed. (Thank god for the older guy needing help cause I may have not noticed the amazing sale!) Everything else about the store was very clean and organized. I saw at another farm n fleet that they had baby chicks in the rear of the store and was a little sad that I didnt see any at this location. That secretly was my reason for going in. I will return soon and if the same situation happens I may have to speak to a manager or call corporate and suggest they speak to the staff about helping people out a little more. Dont let this stop you from experiancing the store for yourself. I will suggest it to friends or family that have uses for...

First time in a Farm and Fleet and it will be my last. Went to this location specifically for a water table for my daughter it said they had 2 of got there 10 mins before closing. It wasn’t out on the floor so I asked for help, they said well if it’s not out here we don’t have it. Very reluctant to want to check the back for this table. She came back and said they didn’t have it. Went to customer service who said no we don’t…asked them if the Woodstock location which shows 3 would be a better bet and she goes idk id call to be sure. At what point in your inventory do you actually trust? Cuz 2 or 3 big little tikes boxes is hard to miss. I ended up going to get it at Woodstock and not needing it. Tried to have my mother return this item since she lives right there WITH the order number and they turned away because she didn’t have the credit card I used. No where on their website does it say you need that. As my mom walked out of the store carrying this big box a manager asked her how her day was. She stated she was just trying to return it and they wouldn’t let her. He went up to customer service and the lady working the register did not want to return it but manager made it happen. This item wasn’t open or used at all btw, literally got a different one cheaper. Gave us cash instead, literally dealing with this location...
