I called and reserved the digger and they were very knowledgeable and patient when explaining it to me. The real customer service started when I returned the equipment on the Tuesday afternoon Memorial Day. I got off from work and took it back around 4:00 pm. As I was leaving the young man at the counter told me that it was actually due at 8:30 that morning and I would need to pay an additional fee. I told him that I wasn't aware of this and got out my wallet to pay and he asked me if I had to work that day and that is why I was late getting it back and I said yes. He told me not to worry about it and didn't make me pay. I was appreciative but insisted on paying because it stated clearly at the top of the invoice when it was to be back and it was definitely my fault. He insisted that I was okay and he would wave the charge. In a world like we have today it is GREAT to see such great customer service. I will never rent from anywhere else and I will never recommend anyplace else to anyone. I don't care if you live in Maize or Goddard it is worth the drive to the HRC. You don't get very many good people in retail anymore but these are definitely some of the few. I have told this story to a dozen people already. Go there and pass all the rest.

DO NOT TRUST. DO NOT TRUST. DO NOT TRUST…read more We had a huge incident with this mechanic. I think it's important to detail exactly what occured and the kind of person that owner Rodney Chaffin is. We had some work done on our brakes earlier in July by a new mechanic, as the issue was pressing. That mechanic informed us the brake pads were worn and would need to be replaced soon, but not immediately. About ten miles after getting it out of that shop, it stopped moving. It ABS was locked up, and I believed the mechanic may have accidentally caused the problem. Accidents happen, and not wanting to tell them they'd made a mistake without being sure, I took it into this shop for a second opinion. We wanted a diagnosis and a diagnosis alone. We would have paid for this, it was agreed upon. However, after a week, he informed my wife he'd changed the brake pads "because it needed to be done." Of course, we knew the brake pads would need work. Our usual mechanic was unavailable for weeks. It was not pressing enough to need immediate repair, so we decided we would wait until he was open. I needed the diagnosis ASAP though, as I needed to know if the issue had been caused by the previous work. We did not want him to, as he later claimed, "bad mouth" another mechanic, just the truth. My wife pushed back and asked him how much the repair would cost. He said he didn't know and would call her back "in a couple of minutes". He did not. At this point, I had not yet interacted with Rodney. He did not know I existed. He had dealt only with my wife. So the next day, after waiting until after their lunch period with no call, I reached out to him. The intention was to have a calm but firm conversation about my rights as a consumer and the illegal action he had taken. I was not going to pay for unauthorized work. Rodney, if you read this, all you had to do was call. Tell us about the brakes, we would've told you we knew and were getting it taken care of. You took it upon yourself to make the decision that should have been mine. You acted as though you did it from the goodness of your heart, but good acts don't have price tags. You thought my wife would be too intimated or dumb to question it. She's not. If he had let me finish, my intention was to pay for the diagnosis and a second repair to the ABS he believed would fix the problem. Unfortunately, Rodney's personality flipped on a dime. He interrupted me and demanded I come take my vehicle. I asked if he was willing to let me drive it off the lot. He said no, not until he removed the ABS fix. That was fine, I just wanted my van back at this point. I got a ride over and entered the store. I patiently waited while he spoke on the phone. When he was done, I demanded my keys, and asked if he thought we wouldn't catch on. He told me my keys were in the van and that he was in the process of putting the old brakes on. Now, this is a salvage yard, and Rodney had already proven himself to be untrustworthy and willing to do shady things. I have no way of knowing if they're the same brake pads. Things quickly escalated from there. Rodney came around the desk and, in an attempt to intimidate me, got as close as possible and stared down at me. He's a big guy, and I'm short, so he's got a good foot on me. He called me a loser and a mooch, I called him a crook. At this point the two women in the office had started demanding I leave, and though we argued a bit more, I did. Not trusting him with my vehicle, I stood outside the garage door and quietly observed. I thought it might be worthwhile to take a photo of it being worked on again, but this upset Rodney. He came out of the garage, demanding I wait in the truck that had brought me. I refused. We argued some more, and he told his mechanic to stop work and finally released the vehicle, though the brake lines had not yet been bled. Rodney, I will apologize to you and the women in the office for my temper. I should not have let my disrespect for you as a mechanic become disrespect for you as a person. But you are a bad mechanic. People need to know before you pull this on them too.

They answered "ohhh maybe 150 dollars maximum" (which I thought was a lil expensive) I said ok. The younger son assured me he could get it done quick and inexpensive. went to pick it up after almost a month of calling, and finally it's ready. I go to pick it up, they want to charge 400. It's not my ladder, I was getting it done for a friend, so I felt like I had no other choice but to pay for it and get the ladder back! This is what they gave me! This is the lowest qUality fabrication job I have ever witnessed. They are terrible people who can't meet deadlines and overcharge their customers. I should have left it there and bought a new one, I'd be 200 dollars ahead. These people are really low life scammers and I felt like people should know this was my experience with them and to be warned

Philip asked us like our budget, and he saw we have lots of kids, so he pointed us the rugs that are best with messy toddlers. He was modestly honest with what size of rug we need to. So be sure to know you're measurements as per room and furniture. What I like about this store is, it had wide variety of rugs which narrows you to the best one for you with the big help of Philip, an owner who really knows the business and who is honestly helpful in every way.
