“Off the beaten path if you’re not from Bago, but worth the 20 minute drive for the customer service. I took the screen insert from my storm door out to be repaired. Irv at the hardware desk took great care of me, from start to finish. Very friendly and above and beyond service. The cost was very reasonable. Good luck getting anything close to this at a Big Box Store, or anywhere in Rockford. I’ll refer anyone to Sullivans Ace in Winnebago.”

“The owner, Matt, is a genuinely good guy. Looked at my kids car and was straight up honest. Instead of coming up with some overpriced fabricated needs, he was blunt and walked away from charging me for unnecessary work. You don't find people like this as often as you should anymore. He earned my loyalty and trust. Thanks, Matt!”
