My experience with Holmes Appliance Repair was on the road. I was driving westbound on Hensley Road at about 4:05 pm 4/25/26. About 1/4 mile ahead of me, the black pickup truck owned by Holmes with Holmes signage on it ignored the stop signs at Hensley and Prospect Avenue. He didn't even hesitate, he just flew through the intersection at speed. Needless to say, this conduct is illegal and dangerous.
He wound up stopped at red light a Prospect and Olympian and I grabbed a shot of the back of his truck. This apparently upset him. When the light turned green, he just sat there -- even after I gave him a toot. He then proceeded to antagonize me. First, he blocked me from selecting another lane when the road widened out. Second, he tailgated me for a bit on Prospect. Then he tailgated me into the Menard's lot.
When I got out of my car and tried to speak with him, he sped off.
This is not the kind of person I would ever want in my house around my family or pets, working on any of my appliances. I strongly suggest you avoid Holmes Appliance Repair.
I have some video of some of his conduct. I will post it to YouTube with Holmes Appliance Repair in the title.
PS This isn't the first time I've seen a black pickup truck blow through that intersection at speed. I looked up his address and google and asked google for directions to North Prospect shopping area. It's a straight shot from Elliott to North Prospect and the north side of Champaign on Prospect Avenue. I suspect I've seen this guy before. I'm going to pay closer attention in the future, that's for sure. read more
