A world-class, professional dealership and yacht brokerage. I’ve been in the marine industry for over 20 years, and can tell you that it is rare to find the combination of competency, ethics, and caring that the team at Spring Brook consistently brings to the Greater Chicago area. If you have not done business with Kyle and his team - you are missing out on a superior experience.

Spring Brook in Seneca IL is where I bought a used boat. Dont live in a fantasy world where you buy used and expect everything will be perfect. Just like with cars, boats have problems. I had a couple and it wasn't cheap to have them repaired. Its easy to blame other for issues but remember, you can have the boat inspected first. I was a home inspector and did not heed that advice. I never even thought boats had inspectors. Live & Learn. Ask anyone who owns a boat, they cost money. Anything you buy attached to the name marine seems to cost more.Spring Brook so far has fixed three issues for me. None were hidden from me. An old battery always needs replacing. A water pump that worked for two weeks and then crapped out is unfortunate but I dont think even an inspector would have found that. A fuel pump that left me dead in the harbor can really ruin your day but the river could have been much worse. I know how to work on engines but cant in a boat because of my back. So it costs more to have them do the repairs. Yes it cost more than an automotive repair but that is not something you can blame Spring Brook for. Check online and see how much a marine AGM battery goes for. Considering the cost of AGM batteries $650 installed is also not out of line. I checked online and at first saw fuel pumps for $400 to $500 and thought what a markup. Of course different pumps cost more or less. I then started seeing many for $1300 - $1500 and thought WOW, these really are expensive. $1800 for a fuel pump may also not be that unusual. One of the other guys at the marina who has a bigger boat told me his was priced at $3000. $400 for a fresh water pump installed is not bad. I dont know how much Spring Brook marks up their parts but when looking at the labor costs it doesn't seem out of line and the people seem to be inclined to help.I should also note, their maintenance crew so far seems to be really good and quick. Thanks to Tim and Kevin. Also, thanks to Kate and Zach in the office for doing a great job.

Repeat visit for food and our monthly group meet & eat! One of my friends comes all the way from Pekin,Illinois and finds it a wonderful place to relax! Ned cooked and served our table as we decided to dine & visit inside. We were not disappointed & have future plans to come back!

We had the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. Our server was terrible. Spent more time wiping down tables etc then coming by us at all. I actually had to get our food after waiting 45 min for a burger and BLT. Our food was cold and awful when another server handed it to me from the kitchen. I also had to get up and go to the bar and ask for a pop refill. Absolutely ridiculous. I do NOT recommend!!
