Champaign Do it Best Hardware

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, great location close to campus, and they offer an i-card discount. Best hardware store in town!

They have an enormous stock, and they are very helpful in guiding you to what you need. They offer freely useful advice about repairs and replacement

The man with the clear, round glasses went absolutely ABOVE AND BEYOND helping me find the right bolt for what I needed. I didn’t have a bolt for reference so I was just going to buy a few and hope one would work because I didn’t NEED the bolt as I had a correct one ordered online already (car bolt, manufacturer doesn’t provide what size the bolts are) but he gave me his time and then some. Super nice guy, I’ve never been treated and valued so much as a shopper. Live In Bloomington but will be sure to stop in whenever I need something while in Champaign

I went here because I'd spent 2.5 hours trying to build a tv console and was near the point of giving up. An employee asked me if I needed help. I explained my situation (needed to remove some dowels from some wood), and he recommended some products I could buy. He then brought me to another employee who ended up removing the dowels for me. (I brought the wood with me.) This really helped me because I was nervous to remove them myself. The employees were helpful, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental. I will make a point to go here over Lowes and other big name hardware stores.

Honestly, I wouldn't choose to get paint from anywhere else. The people in the paint department are EXCELLENT! I have a nearly 100 year old house with lots of wood and they are so helpful to help me make important decisions. They've never steered me wrong!

The rest of the store employees have always been equally helpful with anything I've needed. The ladies that run the registers are always so kind. I love it here because it's a smaller store where I can always get help and great advice. Yes, the selection isn't what it might be at the larger stores but for me the service more than makes up for that!

Great customer service and prices! Staff is very knowledgeable and so helpful/friendly! They always help to find exactly what I need, or brainstorm how to make something work if i'm floating an idea around. It's great to have a local place!

The store itself is clean and not intimidating like some of the bigger hardware box stores.

I've given up on bog box stores, too much walking past stuff i don't need. Here i walk in, ask a clerk where is this? They tell me and I don't walk a football field to get it. Prices are competitive. Personal service excellence.

This place has great customer service, but another major thing to note is the installation prices are very reasonable. At home Depot they wanted nearly triple the price of the item to install it. The service here was far more friendly and the prices infinitely more reasonable then similar stores. All and all I felt happy with the choice of this store.

Wow! I had a great experience here. There was someone waiting at the door asking if I needed help finding anything and was able to immediately point me in the right direction. The cashier was so nice and let me know that there was a student discount here as well. They're affordable and have a great selection, I'll definitely be coming back.

Great hardware store for those quick miscellaneous project needs.

Extremely friendly employees that are always more than willing to assist customers above and beyond.

Great paint selection and really nice selection of small quantity and unique screws.

TIP: Show your University I-CARD for 10% off your purchases (there are some exclusions).

My favorite hardware store in CU. The store has what you need and is filled with wonderful employees; friendly and helpful. On my last trip, the lady at check-out gave my son a balsawood glider, to his delight. 5 stars.

Great customer service!

A great selection and prompt, friendly service the likes of which you won't find on North Prospect or Bloomington Road. Whenever I visit I often feel like I'm back at my old hometown hardware store. That and the fact that you don't have to walk a half mile for one tube if caulk makes Do It Best my first choice.

Stopped in today for the first time and I just had to write a review to compliment the staff. Everyone was incredibly cheerful and friendly. It's obvious they enjoy their jobs and enjoy assisting customers.

Very knowledgeable and answered all my Goofy Questions without being upset, and I did ask some silly Questions, GREAT JOB, and the Woman in paints went out of her way to help me in different departments, and my new keys worked perfectly.

Thanks and I will be back. 🤠💙👍🏽🤟🏽

Great store. I hadn't been in the store for some time and now I could kick myself. This store has more hardware than the others and I've lived in CU for over 60 years. It's now my go-to hardware store.

We're a local business that does a lot of repair and fabrication work. Do It Best has always been our go to spot for anything hardware related. The staff are friendly and helpful and they carry a wide variety of products which makes it a convenience one stop shop for us to do business with.

Always surprisingly well stocked. I can very often find repair parts there that I cannot get anywhere else. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Those ladies checking out costomers at the counter are a little wild. :) Had some great help finding material we needed, people are always ready to help you find stuff.

Great people work here that go out of their way to help. This is a wonderful community hardware store that also has mulch, some plants and a paint section. Help keep them in business.
