Blain’s Farm & Fleet

Horrible first – and last – time here for tires. First appointment I made was cancelled because they were short-​staffed. Tonight’s «45-​minute» appointment was 2+ hours long. My car was actually done 30 minutes before I could check out because of the line of customers, most of which had a problem.
While I waited, I checked out the store for the first time ever. It was very messy and cluttered. The aisles were too narrow and crowded with boxes that were waiting to be unpacked. Overall, it felt very dirty – and I couldn’t wait to go back to the greasy service area!
The only saving grace was the lone service area representative, Courtney. She was working her tail off, even if she was complaining about it and pointing out how hard she was working to everyone.
I won’t be back.

Driving through Milwaukee and wanted a tire looked at. Called ahead to make sure there wasn’t a long wait. Get here to find out no openings. Complete waste of time with how disorganized they are.

I don’t know what happen in the span of a couple weeks, but this shop went from top to bottom in my book.
I had my car serviced at this location several weeks ago and everything was great– the place was clean, the staff was knowledgable, and my car was fixed within the timeframe they specified, and more importantly, for the price I was originally quoted. The service managerJonathan was knowledgable and took some time to explain to me how the broken part worked and why I needed it fixed, but also assured me that other parts of my car were in fine working order (this is important to me, I’m a single mom who knows nothing about cars). I felt confident I wasn’t being taken advantage of.
I talked my mom into having the repairs she needed done here, because I was so impressed. The service manager had told me to come see him whenever I needed something, so we went in. The place was a chaotic mess. There were already several angry customers in there making complaints about how long they has been waiting for service and how long their cars were taking to finish. We could see and here the workers out in the shop, who seemed to be screwing around and laughing with each other more than working. None of them came out to the lobby to help, even though they could see new customers had come in. I had to enter the main store and ask for service from the guy at the tire desk. It was ridiculous. I don’t know why we stayed, but by the time we left, my mom was as dissatisfied as the rest of the customers we had encountered. It was like this shop was on an entirely different planet than the one I first visited. Never going back!

Always passed by this location and wondered so I’ve decided to stop by. The parking lot was always full. I was quite surprised to learn that this Farm and fleet was packed with all types of goods from Clothing to trinkets to yard work needs. The staff was very friendly and the store was maintained quite well. It’s filled with a lot of goods. If you cant find what you need at other hardware/​gardening big names or just simply something to keep you busy this store has a lot of interesting things available.

Usually, I come here for two reasons: the candy/​nuts aisle and birdseed. However, there is so much more!
Household goods, clothing, automotive, gardening, camping and hunting gear! Hardware and paint! Food and toys! Got dogs? Cats? Horsescowschickensrabbits? Yep, everything you could need for you and your critters is right here under one roof.
A one stop shop if I’ve ever seen one!

auto dept never answers the phone so you can never make an auto appointment. They need to hire more staff or have the currant loafers put down the soda and get to work

I grew up in Chicago, I feel like an anthropologist in a place like this. However, I’ve found this store to be very practical as a homeowner. They have squirrel repellent (works for most squirrels but not the furry little terrorists I’m at war with), humane wild animal traps, sturdy work clothes and shoes, paint, hardware supplies, dehumidifiers, garden supplies, cat litter, tractor seats, flashlights, all sorts of things I need, think I need, and have no idea what to do with. Prices are very good, employees refreshingly helpful and competent as well as friendly, and there’s plenty of room in the parking lot. The bus that comes here has a very peculiar schedule, I’ve taken the bus here, then gotten stranded, I think driving is the way to get here.

If you bottled up the smell of Farm & Fleet (and Fleet & Farm for that matter) I would be able to identify that smell anytime anywhere. It smells like… well Farm & Fleet. Its like how Abercrombie has that smell. Same thing only different.
But for real, tires, bird seed, candy orange slices, boots, fishing lures, jackets… you name it they got it. Its just fun, its like 3 field trips wrapped up in one.

Let’s say you need some new tires for your car, anti-​monkey butt powder for snow mobiling and a KitchenAid mixer. Where can you get all that in one place? Farm & Fleet! They even sell clothes. If you are a fashion guru, this isn’t the place for you. But there’s bound to be something you will like here. They seriously have everything at great prices. The online store is also great. It’s not the prettiest place which is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars.

I’m going to make this one short and sweet.
We called Farm and Fleet to have all 4 of our tires replaced, a 600 dollar commitment. We confirm the appointment for Monday the 25^th.
Show up yesterday, the 25^th, only to be told the appointment was made for the 15^th of November.
Problem?
Original phone call took place on the TWENTIETH of November. That’s right. They expected us to have an appointment on a day that had already passed.
Glad we didn’t end up working with them. If you don’t know the difference between the 15^th and the 25^th (one in the past, one in the future) I probably don’t want you touching my car.

Went here for some new tires. Soda in the machine was cold, the snack vending machine was well stocked, and the bathroom in the auto-​service lobby was sparkling. It even has auto-​flush toilets!!!
Free wifi in the auto-​service area is a plus.

Oh man, I remember when they built this place. And it’s been remodeled since then. Does that make me old?
So I’ve been coming to this «Farm & Barn» location since it was built. I was but a small child then but it was still one of the most fascinating stores in the world to me. Maybe it was only fascinating when Toyland opened in fall but these are my memories! Now as an adult it holds a new fascination (which oddly seems to wane when Toyland opens). «Mill’s» has been my go-​to place for camping gear, hand and power tools, automotive stuff (oil, filters, misc. stuff in spray bottles, specialty tools, repair manuals) and bird seed. Really, they have great prices on bird seed.
Selection is great on most things. If you need spray paint, you’ll probably find a good color here. Prices are actually quite low for many departments, lower even then what I find at Box-​stores and even Amazon. But other things are a bit pricey, like light bulbs. Seasonal item selection is always good. It’s a great places to buy shovels and salt in winter; then in Spring you can get your garden seeds.
Service is good, not always great. But it is friendly, I’ve never had a bad experience here. I usually get asked if I need help but on occasion I’ve had to go looking for it. The store is always bright and clean which I appreciate. Items are rarely out of stock and a quick call ahead can confirm before you head over it it’s a dire emergency.
South Siders may not have a lot of need for chicken feed and horse antibiotics these days but if they do, Farm & Fleet has them covered. If you’re more likely to need a pound of circus peanuts, an oil filter wrench, a camping lantern and a pair of sneakers then you’re covered as well.

Great Value! A store I forget about but shouldn’t …
Looking for a bag toss game and this store had a John Deere branded game on sale for under $ 50. It was on clearance there and the best price that I found.
They also have a pretty big toy section at Christmas and I’ve gotten the best value on tires here in years past. I think this is the kind of store that you can stop by once a month or so and find something on sale that you’ve been looking for or considering buying.
Although, it’s very «country» so you would necessarily shop for the hottest trends :)

If I ever suffer from insomnia, I’m going to shop here all the time. Even with the new updates the place is still pretty drab and it usually lulls me to sleep.
That being said, I usually like big boxes/​hardware stores that are cheap. While this place can be pretty cheap, but the quality of the products usually don’t live up to my pretty low standards.
I do come back here every couple of months for certain things, man snacks for starters. They have plenty of variety of man snacks; jerky, nuts, candy, chips, etc. If only they would sell beer to wash all this down with.
Another big ticket item for me here is gardening stuff. I buy about 75% of my gardening things here; tools, fertilizer, potting soil and grass seed are all priced much lower here than just about anywhere I know about in the city.

Farm and Fleets auto shop was very quick. Had my car towed there cuz it wouldnt start in the cold and they checked it out within 2 hours and called me. I have had other stuff done there also. They are resonable, fast and very friendly. Highly recommended.

I hadn’t been to a store like this since I was a kid and that’s what I felt like on this visit… a kid. They have everything! Great prices and friendly staff. Nice wide aisles that are easy to navigate in a wheelchair. I couldn’t ask for more!

I went here for Safety Shoes. They have them. Lots of them. In lots of sizes, shapes, colors, fits, and budgets. It did the trick. Easy in, easy out, with a duplicate receipt.

How did I give this place four stars when it clearly — CLEARLY — deserves five for being the best place that ever existed?
What were you thinking, Fell?
Upgrade, because: it’s Farm & Fleet and they have everything. EVERYTHING. This place is a paradise… all things Wisconsin and then some. If you need it, they have it… unless what you’re looking for is some high fashion and/​or fresh produce and then, well, you’re simply out of luck.

Love F&F because they have almost everything you can think of from clothes to toys, electronics to housewares, paint to horse supplies and so on.
I frequent F&F mainly around the holidays for decorations, toyland and snacks. They have everything you never knew you needed for snacks, nuts and candies.
Prices are very reasonable and the store is always clean. It’s worth the drive to Oak Creek, especially if you have pets — their supplies are great!

Hey, it’s like Fleet Farm only it’s that other one. These things were big box before the concept really hit. I grew up going to stores like this and can’t say that I’ve ever had a bad experience at one of these places.
This particular store in Oak Creek has friendly and helpful staff that do seem to know where stuff is located. The store is reasonably clean too.
Auto, Farm, Hardware, Clothing, Home Goods, they have it.
I’m sorry that the first poster had a bad experience trying to buy tires. Not really sure how that works, as I’ve never gotten service there. I don’t think her experience is the typical one at this location.

Well… I find it sad that the FTR goes to someone who chose to rant about one experience.
I have never had a bad experience at the store. Staff has always been friendly, store is always clean and tidy, they have a little bit of everything (power tools, pet supplies, candy, nuts, furniture, clothing (both every day and for the hunter in the family), gardening supplies, etc.)
If I had children, or children to buy X-​mas toys for I may be a bit more excited about Toyland, but I don’t.
Anytime I have been looking for flannel, thermal or blaze orange they have always had it.
