I’ve been bringing my basses here for years! Great guy! Great work!
The shop is a throwback and is ultra convenient for a quick guitar setup from the master.
Best place for guitar repair. Awesome setups, Doesnt overcharge and Quick turnaround time. John is a nice guy, Has awesome stories and tons of knowledge about guitars. Love this place, The ONLY thing i hate is he is closed on Sunday 🙂 Dont waste your time going anywhere else!
5. Rossi Music Store & Lessons
Address: 4901 95th St, Oak Lawn, IL 60453 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Rossi Music is a neighborhood gem! I really like that now there is vinyl records for sale with a diverse selection. Thank you for that! Plus the owners and front guy are cool.
I’ve shopped at Rossi for sheet music to use with music students from elementary level through college. I always find the staff to be pleasant and helpful.
Rossi Music has been a long standing, pillar, Lynch pin for Chicago and millions of children who have had and taken music lessons for the past thirty years. If you played in a school band of simply played on all types of venues,, then you know of or have been in Rossi Music. Though there are now big box and other types of stores, they were able to repair my guitar in secobds, due to years of experience. One day the store will close and it will be a tremendous loss to society, not just the Chicagoland community.
I visited this place for sheet music. The songs I wanted were found online and promptly printed for my purchase.
SUZAN M.O’Rourke wrote on 1/19/2019 I visited Rossi’s in the Fall of 2018 and looked at a variety of instruments but seems to have a shared phone number with Little Company of Mary Hospital aproximately 1 or 1.5 miles east on 95th street. Unfortunate use of a beautifil web site The store offers sheet music and new snd used rental /purchase of instruments.
This place claims to offer guitar repairs. So i brought in a Gibson LP Custom that simply needed to be re-wired. The pickups were already installed all that was needed was to wire it up and solder it all together. A nice clean pallet to work with.
3 weeks in, I call and was told, We are waiting on parts! Ok? So i decided to buy a wiring kit offline for 100.00 and drop it off. Took me 1 day to get the parts, Took them 3 weeks and they were still waiting for wires and volume pots? Really?
So they had all brand new parts, wires, etc that i purchased myself. Once again, A nice clean slate to work with, Everything was brand new and clean, So wiring and soldering should have went smooth and looked good.
Another week later, I call and ask if its ready, Yeah! Come get it! So i guess they dont call people when instruments are ready for pickup?
I pick it up and bring it home, Plug it in and hear the worst noise ever.. The output of the pickups was all wrong. I have never heard a guitar sound this bad. I look inside and was shocked at the job!! Wires twisted together just hanging there. Soldering burnt thru the brand new pots! This was HORRIBLE!
I call him about it and he said, Oh well i plugged it in and the pickups had sound? Your kidding me right?
I could have brought it back for him to “fix” but after looking at what he did to a brand new wiring kit, Its best to keep guitars far far away from this guy. PLEASE if you have a guitar that is halfway decent and needs a setup, pickup swap or anything that requires a brain, Please take it elsewhere! This place is far from professional.
Bad customer service, dude with long hair gave me attitude and had a overall bad vibe
My son was taking lessons and love it! I paid for his classes in advance and was told that I didn’t and was expected to repay for my son to continue lessons. Advice if you decide to use their service take your own calender and make sure a teacher sign off the day he gave lessons. This will help you keep up for when the teacher cancels for the days you paid for.
6. Guitar Center
Address: 7250 S Cicero Ave C, Bedford Park, IL 60629 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
The best Guitar Center location I’ve been to so far
Great customer service!
Friendly staff, quick and easy shopping.
Good gear good ppl
The manager is truly gifted and was a pleasure to speak with. I hope his staff is learning from him. A real joy to have been there.
Love coming here
I’ve been a long time customer of Guitar Center from my first purchase at their 95th location in the 80’s. For every great experience I have there, I have a negative one. Each time I have a bad experience, I vow not to patronize GC and just to either order from Sweetwater or just go to CME. Today’s transaction will be my last one and can clearly understand why the business is struggling: non-existing stock or very minimal and poor service! They have lost a lifelong customer!
Well I went in for the professional guitar tech and he was on vacation I got another young man who was a rookie he did the best he could do but the problem was still unresolved but I did appreciate the help that he gave me he did a great job
Extremely expensive
7. Players Guitars
Address: 6957 W 111th St, Worth, IL 60482 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Owner Mike did an exceptional job on my guitar and has a store that’s just plain cool. Definitely bringing my other axes here.
Friendly staff and nice place to go way better than guitar center just not as big.
Mellow vibe and top notch skills of the staff make it one of the places to shop here. They also recommended Treble Clef for my saxophone needs. Go there for your guitar needs
This is a wonderful place. Mike is amazing and has so many instrument. New and used.
Music teacher for guitar lessons very good.
8. Redbox
Address: 7878 S Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Great products and amazing customer service. Definitely recommended!!!
great prices … huge selection.
Morons and they sell to minors often.
Hello,normally I rarely go back on a review especially if there hasn’t been any problem with their service!until now,which is unbelievable being that I’ve been shopping their on a regular basis!they rather have bad reviews than give a return on their not working items!this will hurt small vape businesses by the way!and no return if you leave the store!so buyer’s beware!Oh you just Lost a long paying customer!
Great shop with great crew!!
. Juan is very professional when it comes to the business and advises. Al Very good prices vs other local “wanna be jeep builders” which explains why his very busy with all of his clients. His crew is also very professional and hard working guys who are always willing to answer your thousands of questions even when Juan is not around.
Definitely will come back again and work on my second jeep.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
5 starts from me!!!
My guys
Great staff, really knowledgeable and helpful. Good communication about timelines and changes, great work on my truck.
Wouldn’t brag about the service here or their prices. I was informed when I arrived in person that my vehicle was going to be this price and was specific on what needed to be done. When it came to pay, the price was way more than discussed. When asked why the price was different, no one can explain. So naturally I paid because I was already there for 6 hours and the only car there. The employees were concerned about ordering pizza and how soon they were going to do lunch versus being attentive with the details and getting my car out less than 6 hours.
So I usually go to Arandas Rims & Tires because they take care of me, but I’m standing outside Ace Tire shop waiting for them to open. Lets see if they have better prices and service here. For now I’ll give them the 5 stars but I’ll keep y’all posted on my results. They open in 3 minutes.
Results- If you have a truck or SUV this is a good place to see rims. Unfortunately if you have a car you got to look it up on a catalog… It was 5% cars 95% trucks. Cool lil place. I’ll give them 3 stars…
I been there a couple of times a so far they do a good job at a good price. FYI,Tambien Hablan tambien español.. I also boughty wheels there for my cadillac. . I do recommend this place.
Wait for more … liars and scammers
I needed an inexpensive radio with USB port. The sales guy found one and I paid in advance. Once installed there was no USB and was told all they could do was charge me for a more expensive radio. Total scam. I’ll take my business elsewhere. Glad I found out how they are with only spending a couple hundred than with the $7k I’m putting in my nice ride.
Rude and Cocky
11. Peterson Strobe Tuners
Address: 11601 Mayfield Ave, Alsip, IL 60803 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Fantastic tuners! Incredible precision and accuracy! The clip-on models are great for live performers. As a guitar player I used a cheap tuner for a long time, but since I switched over to a Peterson I’ve never regretted it for a minute. These tuners are the absolute gold standard for quality and detail. 100% worth every penny!
These are stellar tuners. Well worth the money. I’m not sure my guitar had ever really properly been tuned before.
What’s more, the customer service is just top notch. I broke a tuner (totally my fault), and it turns out that they actually do repairs (who does that any more?). Really fantastic company, really fantastic product.
Nothing like playing a guitar that’s in tune!?
Couldn’t find a parking spot or entry door.
12. Romagnoli Accordions
Address: 5510 W 95th St, Oak Lawn, IL 60453 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Loved this place! Brought in an old family accordion. Renee took it apart and assessed it for us and also gave us a brief history of the make / model. She knows her stuff and did this all for free – will definitely be back here to repair and service my normal accordion – thank you!!
Heaven on earth.
This was one of the most fun times I’ve had at a store in Chicago. They found me the perfect accordion. The staff is amazing and so helpful. watch out for the guard dog he is very protective
Little store full of expert knowledge of the accordion by the people that work here. Repair service is reasonably priced. Love the instruments here. We purchased two accordions.
Awesome Place Remember Buying my First Used Accordion Their a Gabbanelli 2 Tone about 14 Years Ago. Remember Ann the Lady at the front Desk always helpful and Pomp the Repair Guy Awesome People to work with. I Still Go today for Repairs Only. As For Accordion Purchase Im a Gabbanelli Guy but Awesome Monterrey Accordions as for Pricing on Repairs not bad at all If you want your accordion to Sound Good You have to Pay for it. A lot of People don’t understand that Accordions are a Living Art and maintenance should be priority. Highly Recommended #squeezebox16
I’m not recommended ,very bad experience! !!!
13. Transponder City Locksmith and Alarms
Address: 7358 S Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Sam is amazing. He came out within a few hours and made me a new key fob on the spot.
He’s amazing, honest and fair.
Thank you being a good business to rely on
A business specializing in remote car entry and staters. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
I’ve been going here for 6 years, prices are good, management is fair, always get great quality products and service.
Almost Perfect place to put an alarm and remote starter for you car.. The owner or whoever is always picking up the phone or talking inside with customer is always polite and informing you about prices.. I did the two way alarm with pager and remote starter.. after a couple days of using it on my car went back to change the sensitivity of the alarm and they did it with no problem.. only problem I had is they did little mess installing alarm inside so lots of wires… under my mat.. for $400 they could at least clean after themselves
Customer service was top notch ..
I had questions for a remote starter and staff was well informed about it and now I’m a satisfied customer with my remote installation .. This guys are professional and FAST.. Thank you guys.. I would definitely recommend this place.
Place is good nice people
It seems like these guys rather belittle you with your lack of knowledge in audio or electronic knowledge. The locksmith is rather arrogant in the craft he has. Does not make you feel welcome with customer service.
I went here to have 15 standard key copies made. When I arrived there was only one customer ahead of me so I waited and looked around since they have so much on display.
They had grabbed some guy from the back to assist me. He seemed to have been taken off of break or something because he had an additude the whole time.
I explained what I wanted but also asked about their other services since I saw they did so much.
The guy acted like I wasn’t going to buy anything and he was tired of having his time wasted he just wanted to leave so I told him never nevermind on the other services I just needed the keys.
He threw the keys at me when I paid and left. Some of the keys didn’t work until my boyfriend buffed them or something to slide them in. Not sure how he fixed them, I just told him I didn’t want to go back to that place.
I completely regret not getting my keys done at Walmart even if it is further.
Scam
14. McMusic Lessons & Performances
Address: 10630 S Roberts Rd, Palos Hills, IL 60465 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
I take classical guitar lessons from Kevin. I love ❤️ his emphasis on music theory! Even though I am a very beginner, it helps me with reading and making sense of written music. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about wanting to learn to play the guitar, especially classical, as he is so well trained in it and an excellent teacher!
The teacher is thorough, patient, and flexible. Maybe it’s just because I’m a beginner, but I feel like I learn so much each week. Definitely worth it
Great teacher, really enjoyed my lessons!
Great instructor. I had absolutely no experience with playing instruments and thought that I’d struggle as an adult trying to learn for the first time. Kevin is a very patient instructor and will teach at your pace. His prices are very reasonable in comparison to other places I’ve looked into.
Good, friendly, knowledgeable teachers.
15. Walmart
Address: 10260 S Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
Brought a LG color tv. Great price and to top it off you can get the tv mounted on the wall.
Walmart always have the essentials I need! I shop at the store and online!
Limited food variety
I came to just pick up my items that I purchased online. I checked in from my car and by the time I reached the counter some of my items where already located. So I was in and out with my items.
A little chaotic in here and unorganized but decent
This walmart is dirty the staff don’t care they don’t wana help even when you ask for it I think the manager should be replaced.
It sucked to many people in line not enough cashers. I tired of getting accused of bring a theif Everytime I work out of the store by being asked for my reicpt.
This place is a joke and should be closed down the staff is rude they wont answer the danm phone
16. Redbox
Address: 8715 S Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States

18. Metal Supermarkets Chicago (Bridgeview)
Address: 7411 W 90th St, Bridgeview, IL 60455 , Bridgeview , Illinois , United States
amazing service they weld and do custom orders and the price was amazing will be back for more for sure
Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They try very hard to accommodate their customers.
Tremendous place and operation.
Expected professional service BUT found out you can’t trust their word. Didn’t have what I needed and when they gave me another option they just charged me more for it. Watch out for these people. Not the worst but FAR from the best.
Great player good person very easy going. I’m a professional saxophone player. If I was learning guitar I would take lessons from him.
Colin at Southside Guitar does such an incredible job teaching my boys guitar. It is amazing to watch anyone who can keep my kids focused for 30 minutes! He is a natural, and the boys are having fun too.
I’ve known him for a while and he has always been great with the guitar. Very knowledgeable, understanding and easy to work with.
