    The Babylock with its case removed
    Heidi T.

    I have been a customer of Hokema's for several years. They know their stuff and their expertise servicing sewing machines and embroidery machines is second to none. When it came time to have both my mom's old Penncrest sewing machine and Babylock 6-needle machines serviced, I opted for an in-home visit from JD, their tech. In a word, the experience was great. I live up in the mountains and JD had close to an hour's drive to get here. He spent most of the day working on my machines, so I got to see what people who drop their machines off at the shop don't. His attention to detail was truly impressive. I love learning the backstory on things and he was generous in explaining what he was doing, why and how I can better care for my equipment in the future. Our discussions ranged all over the place with JD giving me fascinating insights into my machines, his training and how Hokema's operates. In turn, I told him about my soil and plant projects and new tractor. I was tending to our greenhouse, potting up seedlings and mixing natural amendments into a custom soil blend. I cruised in and out, telling him about my work and he proved to be surprisingly interested and knowledgeable. It made for a day of rich education both ways. When it came to Mom's zigzag sewing machine, I debated spending the $100. These machines were sold by JC Penny a long time ago and I'll bet it cost a mere fraction of the servicing price when it was brand new. But Mom was an excellent seamstress and she did all of her later work with this machine. I knew it was worthwhile to have it cleaned and adjusted, especially since newer machines tend to be poorly made. Mom's been gone a long time, but I got a chance to reconnect with her as I watched JD work. After he'd completed the mechanical portion, he thoroughly cleaned the exterior, even removing some tape that was on the base and wiping down the entire cabinet. I know Mom appreciated it and so did I. When I mentioned a tension question I had with the antique Singer treadle sewing machine that goes all the way back to my childhood, JD offered to check it out, too. He proved to be as knowledgeable on the treadle as he was on the others, assuring me the tension was just fine but Hokema's can still provide parts if needed. He has an abiding respect for all of the machines that provide his income and it shows. My sole complaint is JD didn't show up wearing a mask, nor did he ask whether I'd prefer it. We're in the 2nd year of the C-19 pandemic and both my husband and I have been exceedingly careful in limiting our contact with others. We trust science and have had both vaccinations and are past the two-week period after that may help resist infection, or I would have sent JD packing before he ever got started. I'm glad I didn't have to. I enjoyed our discussions throughout the day, even hearing why JD's not keen on getting vaccinated. I disagree with him and hope he comes around. To end on a high note, I loved learning that JD and Hardy (Hokema; the owner) are dog people, as are we. JD and I shared rescued dog stories as our dog, Bufant, wandered in and out of our cabin. Dog people rock, as do thorough technicians. This means those 5 stars in my rating are doing double duty. Job well done, JD. Thanks!

    Have made 4 baby blankets already!!  Thank you!

    Got a new Janome here - love it! I have been speaking with Jody for a few years. She spent much time with me and was so helpful that I really wanted to buy from them to get her sewing class that came with the machine! My husband and I also bought a vacuum here 6 years ago that's running strong today! I love supporting this local family owned business that gives so much back to our community.

A shout-out to Jacob and Dakota, the techs who delivered the two appliances. Friendly chaps indeed. They did an amazing job installing both items and explaining their functions.

    Now comes the "UNETHICAL BRIBERY" from Carmona's. Tuesday…read moreMarch 24, 2026 Carmona's sent a service technician to replace the parts on our washer and dryer. The dryer parts were replaced and during my discussion with "Chris" the service tech we did decide to try less soap in the washing machine and see if it stops the noise before tearing it apart and replacing parts. The following day, I washed a light load and when I went to dry them, the dryer was making the same horrible noise after having the parts replaced. I reached out to the service tech and sent him a video of the dryer, making the horrible noise, even with nothing in the dryer. Because this has been an issue since day one when we bought them, and we have been given the biggest run around and lied to now for 4 months. I requested that we returned the washer and dryer and buy a different brand (speed Queen). I just want a working washer and dryer!!!! Thursday March 26, 2026 Lewis Chuck, who sold me the washer and dryer called and offered to give us $1200.00 for the new set we just paid $2216.75 for! In return, we return the washer, dryer, pedestals. *PLUS!!! LEWIS TOLD ME, "YOU ALSO HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR YELP REVIEW".******** I told Lewis we were NOT going to accept $1200.00 for a defective washer and dryer we paid $2216.75 for. What "really upset me" is, I felt like I was being bribed into removing my "HONEST YELP REVIEW" and "UPDATES". Bribery is illegal!!! When removing a review on Yelp, Yelp asks, "if you were offered a refund or other compensation to remove this review". In a world with so much corruption. I REFUSE to be a part of it!!!! We are now seriously considering a Civil matter in court to get the resolution we feel will be fair to us as a consumer.
