Walked in to their store to inquire for my very first roof rack system ( Yakima ). Murphy showed me and explain everything that i need to know. Excellent customer service and he will guide you through the whole process of your buying experience. After a couple of days, i went back to get the cargo box ( Inno Wedge 660 ). Max and Ryan helped me out this time. They make sure to get the box that i wanted and double checked if everything is in perfect shape and if i am satisfied before they attached it on my roof. I am very happy and satisfied with my buying experience with them. Will definitely come back and will only get my cargo rack needs only from these guys. I highly recommend this place. Thank you rack attack Chicago you guys were awesome!
Dropped by without an appointment. Had everything I needed in stock. Install was quick and I left a happy camper. Highly recommend these guys. Great selection of top quality brands and better customer service. Find a reason to shop ‘em, you won’t be disappointed..
Walked in and everything went smoothly..Service was great and they had product in stock. Had it installed on the spot with no wait. Dandy was great.
I went to Rack Attack Chicago to look for a hitch platform bike rack (Got the Thule T2 Pro). Murphy, the manager, was very knowledgeable about all the various models and very patiently and thoroughly answered all my (numerous) questions. I never felt rushed or that my questions were unimportant. It was a great experience overall and Id definitely recommend it to my friends and family.
In our recent out of state move to Chicagoland, I lost my Thule Apex keys. Ive searched online and fiddled around with the lock since for the most part its supposed to be easy once you identify the serial no. for the key: N***. For some reason, my piece didnt come with the serial no. engraved anywhere. Took my rack to Rack Attack and one of the gents went through pretty much every Thule key until he found the right key. He went inside for a min. came back out with a new set of keys and 2 cylinders; changed out the cylinders and gave me the new keys. I was pretty stoked that this was resolved so I asked him what I owed him for the new locks. He said, its an even exchange, his cylinders with mine, so he charged me nothing.What? What in the world? Am I in Thule heaven? Nope, I was just in good hands with the Rack Attack folks. These guys are extremely helpful and I would recommend them highly. If youre shopping for a new rack or need service on one you already own, this is the place to go!I didnt catch your name today but I really appreciate your help and service today. THANK YOU!
I had done my research, I knew I would love the Ikamper roof top tent. What I wasn’t expecting was the exceptional friendly, kind, and informative staff at Rack Attack Chicago! I have 2 Fat Tire E Bikes on order to add to our adventure fun, I will be returning to Rack Attack for a swing out Bike Rack they demonstrated while we were there.
Purchased my very first bike rack(Yakima) from here. These guys sure do live up to their 5.0 star rating. Walked in and was greeted by one of the guys, who very politely and kindly walked me through the options explaining the minor details, un-boxed the rack before me, and helped installing onto my cars hitch. Would definitely recommend this place to all of my cycling buddies.
It was really nice to see the rooftop cargo boxes before buying it. Excellent service from the crew at Rack Attack. Murphy showed me the cargo boxes, explained the differences between each one and answered all the questions I had about them. I was able to place a phone order the next day once I decided on which box to buy. Came in a few days later to pick up the box when my crossbar was installed and Ryan quickly installed them and showed me how it worked. Overall, highly recommended and customer service was excellent. Thank you guys!
Rack Attack is a very helpful place if you need extra storage capacity for your vehicle. I wanted an extra cargo box for my CRV roof rack. I was able to talk to someone on the phone and they gave me all the information I needed in regards to picking the correct box for my vehicle. I purchased over the phone and went to the store to pick it up. They pull the new cargo box out of the shipping box and started to show me how to install it on my vehicle. Unfortunately the cargo box I purchased was the last in stock and was damaged. Rack Attack let me know they could not sell that box due to the extensive damage. Rack Attack handle the situation well and provided multiple options to get a new cargo box. We talked through all the options and I was able to make the best decision for my needs based on the information provided. I didnt need the cargo box right away, so I was able to wait a few weeks for the next store shipment. I was put at the top of the list to receive a new box once they arrive. For me, this was the best solution to an unfortunate situation.
The sales team ran through the different options, then provided what I was looking for, without trying to upsell me. After my purchase, the staff built and installed my rack, along with a helpful demonstration. These guys are the best !
Typically the car bike racks are an afterthought at most bike shops, outdoor sporting good stores, & most definitely the last thing those stores seem to educate their full staff on... Rack Attack was quite the opposite; incredibly knowledgeable & welcoming staff, speedy service, & absolutely dedicated to all things car racks. Wasn’t quite sure exactly what type of rack I would want for my specific bike, though the staff quickly identified the unique features of my ride & presented the options, even noting special features available with an upgraded rack - but explained the savings I’d receive by not buying the accessory separately.I’ll absolutely be returning as a customer & recommending this location to everyone I know! Thanks!
Friendly and helpful service. One of the only places I found that had the cargo box I wanted in stock. Ordered over the phone and picked up a few day later. Installation went great and worker was very informative.
The guys at Rack Attack helped me figure out exactly what I needed and installed it all really quickly. They even let me use their wifi so I could work while I was waiting for the installation to be complete. The rack is great, and now Ill be one of those kayakers on the Chicago River. Bliss.
Stopped in to pick up a new Yakima Load Warrior Basket and Yakima JetStream Rails. Couldnt be happier with the service I received and the price point of the items I purchased . Everyone I spoke with was super knowledgeable and willing to take the time to help me find the right fit for my car. Will definitely be going back for future purchases! Now my wife wants a roof rack system lol.
These guys know their stuff. I walked in with little to no information. Both employees who assisted me were great! (Wish I remembered their names) They spent almost 30-40 minutes discussing all my possible options for a roof rack. They said it straight and pointed me in the right direction. If they didn’t know something they didn’t just lie to make a sale. They said “let’s find out together” hopped on the computer and looked up anything we could find to better learn what I needed. I called the next day and purchased my Thule Motion XT L. Installed in a few minutes and drove to Colorado and back with everything my wife and I needed, and some. Thank you again. I will be returning for any future vehicle rack needs.
For the most part, stellar experience (and products) - I originally ordered a full set of Thule roof racks, cargo box - the whole nine yards. After a little over a month of waiting, I decided to finally call Thule corporate and found out that one of the fit kits were actually discontinued. Not in any way Rack Attacks issue. But did inform Thule that they should notify their vendors/suppliers of such issue so that in the future, this wouldnt occur as most people in my position may not have been as understanding.Anyways, decided to then install cancel part of my order (roof rack) and purchased OEM cross bars instead, once this arrived, I still had Rack Attack install the Thule Motion XT cargo box on top and it mounted just fine. Only reason for four stars was the simple fact that I noticed scuff marks on my driver side A-pillar post install, I inquired with Jacob/Jake (?) and he wasnt sure where that came from. Not blaming them per se, but I know this wasnt there prior to the install. I was able to rid of the marks with a little rubbing compound and buffer once I got home.One also slight sidebar was my refund process, not on RackAttacks end, but I believe my merchant provider had a hiccup, as when the refund was issued by RA, it first showed up fine, but then disappeared for a few days which got me worried. However, about a week later, all cleared as processed and my refund was reinstated in full. Both Jake/Jacob and the manager, Murphy, were absolutely stellar from start to finish.Would do business with again.
Rack Attack made buying a bike rack that fit my familys needs and cars specifications very simple. They were immediately responsive to my initial inquiries online, and then when i showed up in the store, they efficiently walked me through a couple of options and 15 minutes later i was proud owner of a great new rack! (They also opened the box and double checked that it had all the necessary pieces before loading it in my car, which i appreciated.)
Rack Attack saved my paddle boarding trip this past weekend! Not only did the have everything in available the staff was genuinely nice and helpful. The store location is not close for me but I will never buy any racking system anywhere else. I’m truly grateful for the service and knowledge the employees possess! Thanks again Murphy and other guy(Tall) I don’t recall your name.
Excellent experience overall! I ride a recumbent bike (Rans V-Rex) and was looking to upgrade my bike rack. I left with the bike on the rack and most importantly, confident in how to securely transport. The team worked well together to solve an issue we were having in one of the features of the rack. I would highly recommend without hesitation.
I was looking everywhere for a Thule cargo carrier and all online and local retailers were on backorder. I called Rack Attack to inquire for availability and I was placed on hold for over an hour (I called on a weekend so they were very busy). I called again on a weekday and I was placed on a shorter hold. I was able to find my product in stock and purchased it over the phone. The wait is a little too long for my liking but it’s worth it because they take their time to answer questions and explain a solution. I will be purchasing from them again and recommend them to anyone looking for outdoor gear.
Excellent customer service, sales support and installation. Giovanni walked me through every aspect of installation, set-up and take down of my iKamper 2.0 roof top tent. He and his crew installed it quickly on my truck bed rack system.. Super experience!
These guys are amazing. They had the Thule box we wanted, we purchased it over the phone. Went to pick it up and they had it on the roof of our car, showed us how to lock it on and gave us our receipt all within about 10 minutes. Great service all round, very happy.
We had a great experience at Rack Attack. From my initial phone call to receive information about having a hitch and bike rack installed to the actual installation process itself, everyone was friendly, professional and efficient. We had a great experience. Highly recommend!
The staff at Rack Attack were well informed and scheduled our installation quickly. Every thing was finished in the time frame that was proposed at the outset. A clear and concise explanation of how the rack and carrier were installed, locked and unlocked, and the working of the cargo carrier was given. I recommend Rack Attack without hesitation.
Had a great experience with the team at Rack Attack Chicago. I had an idea of the rack and box I was looking for and simply emailed the guys at Rack Attack Chicago. I received a return call the same day, they confirmed the components I had picked would work with my vehicle, and set up a date for the install. Install only took an hour and then the team walked me through the products. It was easy process all the way around.
I came in to purchase locking brackets for my Yakima Load Warrior. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Glad this location is close to home as I will be back to make other purchases.
Had a great experience at Rack Attack and would highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and friendly team that helped me select and install our rack and cargo box. I had plenty of questions and they addressed all of my concerns. They also were great on estimating the time it would take for the installation and walking us through everything.
Great customer service and knowledgable about products.
I initially called to check availability of a Thule hitch mounted storage container after calling around to multiple other stores that were listed on the Thule website. The associate was extremely professional and friendly answering all my questions . I ended going in that same day to buy the unit and I also had the shop assemble the product for me for a minimal fee. When I arrived, the team took the time to show me how it installed on my car and again were extremely helpful in answering all my questions. Definitely white glove treatment and a great experience. I would highly recommend Rack Attack in Skokie!
They installed a trailer hitch on my brand new 2020 Toyota Sienna and helped me deal with the sub sub sub par service from Toyota, so good on ya Rack Attack.I recently purchased a brand new Sienna from the Lincolnwood, IL dealership and after we signed the agreement, after they agreed to install the trailer hitch, they came back and said they no longer do that, have someone else do it. Thus Rack Attack.Everything went swimmingly until a friend noticed that our right rear brake light did not work. One of those things you never notice unless you have 1 person stepping on the brakes while another looks at the lights.Took it back to Rack Attack and the said they never touched the right rear light, but they would take a look and found that there was a loose connection somewhere in the assembly. They demonstrated that when you touch the assembly, it would turn off and on.Took it back to Toyota (you never see the technician) and after several back and forth conversations, the service representative told me that the fault was a short in the wiring harness for the trailer hitch. The technician was 110% certain, his words.Took it back to Rack Attack and they figured, why not trot on over to the car parts store nearby and buy a new bulb for the 6 month old Toyota and see if that fixes it.Sure enough, that was the only problem: a faulty bulb from the Toyota factory and the Toyota technician obviously could not be bothered doubting Toyota assembly process, without even looking at it, therefore the fault was with the wiring harness... yeah right.Thank you Rack Attack for spending the extra time getting me street legal again despite Toyotas complete failure to right their wrong.
All of the Thule cargo carriers were backordered 6-8 weeks online. I called Rack Attack and they said they were also out of stock, but would take my info. Within 2 weeks, Jacob followed up and said they had found one. They assembled everything and loaded it in my vehicle. Excellent customer service!
We cant say enough about how terrific our recent experience was when purchasing a new bike rack at Rack Attack Chicago! Everyone we spoke to was really friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our installation was super efficient, yet they took all the time we needed to make certain we knew all the features and how to fully utilize our new rack. The 75 minute drive for us to get to their location and the extra expense to have them build and install the rack was worth every penny and then some. Would recommend to anyone for any car rack needs you may have...we will be back!
Rack Attack had all the answers and all the products !!Shipped super fast ..
The guys at Rack Attack knew exactly what I needed to solve my roof rack system. I found three different systems online for my vehicle, but they had different specs. For something this important (no one wants a failure while camping hundreds of miles from home!) doing it myself for about the same price didn’t make sense.
Bought Yakima rack hardware for my truck over the phone. Ryan provided superior customer service. Since I live 45 minutes away, he actually offered and delivered the parts to my house on his way home... unbelievable... One doesnt find over and above customer service like this anymore...
Great staff and service! Ryan and Jared were extremely helpful in helping to select and install the right setup. Picked up Thule Wingbar Evo, Thule Raised Rail, and Proride XT Bike Rack. Highly recommend Rack Attack for sales and service.
Cant say enough about Ryan at Rack Attack Chicago. We called to see if what we had been looking for was in stock. He put the items aside for us and then helped us load in our vehicle when we went to pick up. We drove from WI and would do it again because of the great customer service we received from Ryan. It was refreshing to have someone go beyond the call of duty. Thank you Ryan!
First class operation. They took a lot of time explaining and making sure I had a complete understanding of all the features of my new Thule Easyfold bike rack. Good job guys!
Everything was top notch! From helping with researching the right solutions, to ease of booking, and to top it all off the installation and subsequent walk-through was fantastic. 100% recommended and will be sure to use in the future!!
Great customer service. I basically knew what I wanted, but the staff answered my questions completely which helped me choose between the two items I was considering. Bought a Yakima bike rack.
Thank you Jacob 👍, Great Service 👍Highly Recommended Store in Illinois, High Quality Customer Satisfaction !!! Thank you again !!!👍👌
Great service and I was lucky that they had the model I wanted in stock with all the supply chain issues around the world! Thank you Rack Attack!
Super helpful staff, great product inventory, well worth the time to go in rather than just order online
Rack atttack provided excellent service and were very knowledgeable. They were thorough with providing different cargo box options and configurations. Definitely will go to them for future rack needs.
We had such a good experience getting our cross bar rails here. Absolutely awesome honest knowledgeable service. These guys rock.
Cant say enough good things about Rack Attack. Not only quality service and expert installation, but good people. Giovanni was ready to help me out when I got in a pinch and left my keys behind on a long trip. Thank you!
Every time Ive worked with Rack Attack I have received the best customer service and patience I could hope for. Great products, service, and follow-up. Thanks!
Great customer service. I will definitely return.
Your one-stop shop for vehicle attachments. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They carry a wide variety of product lines and options to fit what you need. They provide installation and give you advice if you need it. They come highly recommended by the manufacturer and it obvious why.
They were great! They were able to guide me to the right roof rack and carrier (even brought it out to see how it would look on my car). Very satisfied with the service that I received there.
Tried to find a Thule rooftop basket for my SUV. Everyone said it would take a couple of weeks to get it but I couldn’t wait. Rack attack had it in stock and I was able to get it on time! Service was great. Customer service from the guys at Rack Attack was excellent. Loaded my car and thanked me for my business. I’ll definitely check with them first for all of my rack needs. Thanks Murphy!
Fantastic Experience! Really know the products & differences, different solutions and made the perfect recommendation for us on a new eBike Rack! Had the patience and took the time to answer all our questions on the different racks, the recommended rack, nice showroom with models on display so can see how they work and then walked us through how to install/use it efficiently and most effectively. Jacob was wonderful to work with!!!!
Very knowledgeable staff. They helped me work through my options and were very accommodating and flexible with the install.
Skills, honesty, and really low service costs. It’s almost as cheap as UHaul, but people actually get quality service. It’s a wild world out there. Compared reviews to UHaul, REI, and Masterhitch. It’s nice to get accurate service, and it helps to actually plan ahead.
Nothing but nice things to say about this place. I first approached them two years ago and was talked out of installing a kayak rack on my car at the time- even though meant there would be no sale. (It was Do-able, but not advisable and would not meet my needs) I returned last week with my new, better-suited car and we were able to move forward. They had honest answers for all my specific questions and I left with a brand new Thule kayak rack and peace of mind that I made the right choice with the right people. I only hope that getting a fishing kayak will be as pleasant an experience...
Staff is knowledgeable and provides excellent service. Went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the cargo carrier I bought and that it was installed correctly. Will definitely go back to them for my future rack needs.
Needed a roof rack as well as a hitch installed on my van so I gave these folks a call. Giovanni (I hope I’m spelling that right), answered and walked me through options for a rack as well as a hitch. He was knowledgeable about the products that they had as well as suggesting what fit my budget. Soon as it was squared away over the phone I drove to the shop to pick up and he helped me with the installation of the roof rack (have to go back for hitch as it was back ordered). Super helpful in terms of things I should remember when adjusting etc.Pro tip: I highly recommend paying for the installation as while it’s doable on your own (I’m pretty handy myself), it would’ve taken me a few hours of adjusting and fidgeting to get it right, while Giovanni knocked the install in 15-20 min.Was definitely a great experience and am highly satisfied!
Very knowledgeable and helpful service. I had tried REI and online and could not find what I needed.. until I found rack attack and they had the rack I needed in stock.
In less than 15 minutes, the team listened to the problem I was trying to solve, sold me the right product, instructed me on assembly and installation, and loaded it into my car, all at a very competitive price!
These guys were awesome! Helped me get what I wanted ordered simply and made the install seem simple. I can edit this once the roof box I ordered is installed. But I expect the same service I received over the phone!
My husband Douglas and I were so pleased with our experience with the staff at Rack Attack! We have been interested in purchasing an iKamper for a while, and they were fantastic as they helped us understand the product. When it came time for us to venture to Skokie and see the iKamper, one of the employees who spoke to us on the phone was quick to make himself available to answer all of our questions. He also did not hesitate to ask for help when he (rarely) didn’t know the answer. The cohesive teamwork of the staff was evident as we worked with purchasing the iKamper, getting it installed, and when they helped us understand how it worked when we opened our Skycamp 2.0 before we left. We cannot say enough good things about the excellent customer services we received at Rack Attack. Murphy, the store manager, Ryan, the employee who helped us for most of our time, and all of the staff did an amazing job, and I would absolutely recommend them if you are considering any of their goods or services.
We definitely recommend Rack Attack Chicago. Good prices, answers the phone and checks stock for you right away, and quickly installed the cargo carrier on our Subaru instead of having to bring it home in the back of the car with the kids. Everyones friendly and helpful. We will be back for a hitch this spring!
I walked in needing a bike rack today and the young man was very helpful and pleasant. He got Jacob to help pick out a rack and then install it. Jacob took his time explaining the use of the product and very helpful explaining how to lock bikes down. The price was AMAZING and the service phenomenal. Thank you Jacob and the other young man. I highly recommend these guys.
Friendly and helpful staff. Had just the bike rack I needed for my car and were willing to let me pay for it over the phone and hold it until I could get there even if it would be a few days. I appreciated that with how hard it is to find bike racks these days!
This place has all your adventure car travel needs! The staff are super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Gio for helping me install the rack and explaining how to properly adjust the arms!
Getting back into camping was easy with the guys at Rack Attack Chicago. Will and Murphy were great! Very knowledgeable of the product line and fantastic to work with. Keep in very good communication regarding our order. Very pleased with the shop! They are going the extra mile to help kit us out for our next camping adventure. Thanks guys!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this business. Murphy was thoughtful, kind, helpful, and really an expert on the topic of car racks. A niche store for certain, but I can’t image going anywhere else for my rack needs- really!! Had a hard time finding the right rack for my Tesla and Murphy came out to the car to look and see if there was a solution he could offer. I won’t buy a rack from anywhere else. Thank you so much Rack Attack!
The Associate that helped me find the bike rack I bought was great. He was honest in informing me of the current stock issues with lack of manufacturing and shipping due to the pandemic, and the probability of when the rack I wanted would be in stock. I bought a great rack, but unfortunately due to my bikes design it doesnt sit perfectly on a hanging rack, even with an adapter bar. It will do for now, but when inventory gets replenished I will be returning to Rack Attack for a platform rack as a replacement.
Ppl with passion and huge knowledge.Great advisors.Ill recommend to every truck lover
I called Rack Attack to find out what bike rack would work for my Lexus. Ryan was so helpful, he found the perfect rack over the phone and I purchased immediately. He offered to help me set it up when it arrives and I take it down to Florida! Thanks team!
With two kids and a 100-lb dog, we knew wed need more cargo space for road trips, no matter which of our vehicles we took. The team at Rack Attack were not only knowledgable, they were kind and appreciative of our business. We ended up with crossbars for our SUV and wagon, along with a cargo box we can easily use on either. Cant recommend them highly enough, and they will be our first phone call when our needs require anything they carry in the future (pun intended).
Went to the Chicago location and was blown away by the outstanding service. What initially attracted me was the immediate and thorough email responses. I quickly trusted the folks there and left with what looks like a factory installed racking system for my bike and Kayak. The products are premium quality as were the two guys that helped me. Unusually wonderful experience. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.
Great Customer Service,, extremely helpful with the product selection.
Both times I’ve gone here I have had great experiences. The staff here is amazing and very professional.
These guys are second to none. We live in downtown Chicago and really needed a setup for our family sedan (we decided to exit the city as the quarantine lock down was put in place). Rack Attack was quick, honest and happy to help. Ordered the additional accessory Yakima shovel/axe brackets for the Roadwarrior today to support my needs and the business. Love these guy! Support businesses that provide service like this.
I have been searching for a bike rack both on line and at a few stores. A bit overwhelming with all the options and it was hard to find someone well versed in the various products. Stumbled upon Rack Attack Chicago in Skokie, glad I did. The manager of the store, Will, answered all my questions and steered me into a bike rack I was not considering but made sense for my needs. Had them assemble the rack, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. It was done in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost too! Have already put on nearly 800 miles at highway speeds and my hybrid bicycles are plenty secure on the Kuat. When it comes time for a kayak carrier, I know I will be returning to Rack Attack Chicago.
Called mid-day on a weekend, was able to pay over the phone and pick up a couple hours later. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Competitive prices and good service, highly recommend!
These guys (particularly Murphy) are very knowledgeable and patient. I needed a kayak rack for my car. He walked me through the options and got me set up with the perfect fitThanks!
I have bought from RA in the past, online, not knowing they have a store in Chicago. I have a fairly large set up on my Tundra but bought from craigslist to attach to my van.After following the instructions from Yakima the system for my van isnt attaching...So I stop into the Skokie store asking for some help. The tech behind the counter spent 45mins with me trying to find a solution and looking through vids online trying to get an idea on how to make it work since its the recommended system per Yaki. It was not to be but when all else failed my man said to call the gurus at Yakima and see what they know. He gave me their number and said that they would work with me to make it right.That my friends is the long lost art of true customer service. These guys know it.... thanks again
They had the cargo box I wanted in stock at a fair price. They even helped me put it on my roof rack. Great customer service. Thanks!
Went to buy a bike rack. These people know their racks! Highly recommend! You won’t but what you don’t need! They sincerely want to help!Great people!
Spoke to a few different associates. All of them were super helpful and talked me through the purchase process. I had a lot of questions and they were super nice and knew their stuff. Would recommend to any friend and family member!
Purchased and had them install a hitch to our old car. Did a great job. So much easier than putting the bikes on the roof. Takes about two hours.
The staff at Rack Attack on Dempster St were so helpful as I selected my first bike rack for my car. They patiently answered all my questions and recommended a few different models at different price points to meet my needs. On the day of installation, they were able to install the hitch and rack in under an hour! I recommend them highly to anyone considering a bike rack for their vehicle. Im excited to use my Kuat Sherpa rack in the near future!
Great experience here as I wasnt 100% informative on what type of roof top to get but the great folks here made sure to be helpful to point me in the right direction. What also helped was showing me how to install the box on top of my Acura RDX. I will recommend this business to other who may be looking to add these type of accessories to their car!
Will and his crew were fantastic to work with - they are professional and well informed on their product line. Their installation was timely and thorough. I took my new Thule roof rack and Vector Alpine on an 800mile road trip shortly after installation and it all performed perfectly. Excellent service and operation!
Friendly staff were very accommodating to go back to the huge warehouse to check for stock that was hard hit during the reopening after COVID-19, but I got out with a nifty Thule square bar setup for my 16 Honda Fit, and I was back the following week to snag a fork-mount bicycle trough that hangs on to my disk brake Jamis tightly with torque to spare (thank you for letting me set that up in the lot!) 10/10 would recommend.
The bike rack I was looking to buy was listed on the Rack Attack website as in store only. I emailed the Chicago store which is the the closest store to me and is still about a 2 and half hour drive for me with good traffic. Ryan actually called me instead of just responding to the email to let me know the bike rack I was looking for, as well as most bike racks right now are on back order for 6-8 weeks. After some discussion about what I was looking for and the frustration I was having with trying to order a bike rack from other online stores, he informed me that they had one rack in store that was similar to what I was looking for. He even offered to drive it half way to deliver it after the store closed if I didn’t want to wait for it to get shipped. I didn’t need it that quick so I used the free UPS ground shipping the store offers. I received an UPS tracking number email within 20 minutes and received the rack the next day. Thanks Ryan for the great customer service. Your knowledge of the product, taking the time to call to help me find a solution to what I was looking for instead of just emailing to say the product I asked about wasn’t in stock, and offering to go out of your way after hours to make sure I got the item quickly has definitely made Rack Attack a store I will highly recommend to my friends and will be my first choice for future rack related purchases.
I had a road trip ahead of me and was in need of cargo space. I came in to just ask questions about cargo box rentals. The store manager provided me with options and had great knowledge about roof racks. I ended up buying a detachable roof rack system and crossbar set that were better quality than, yet similarly priced to, the factory OEM system that I was originally looking into. They installed it on another visit and I also ended up renting a Thule cargo box for the trip. My road trip was so much more enjoyable with the extra space in the trunk. It was a necessity, in the end. I can’t thank the staff enough. And, to me, the price for cargo box rentals was very reasonable. I also lucked out on the roof rack system, which ended up being on sale. As long as I’m road tripping and living in Chicago, I’ll be doing business with these guys, even if I have to drive an hour out with a crying baby. For road trips, they are well worth it.
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff! Its really great to interact with a company that values their customers, especially in a time where customer service is fleeting. Everyone I spoke with at Rack Attack exemplified excellent customer service. I wouldnt hesitate to turn to them again.
Awesome spot to get proper installs for both Hitch - Roof Rack Options. They take the time to make sure youre getting exactly what your car needs before the install. If we have folks in our shop ask about hitch installs this is the spot we reference! Highly recommend!
