I have been a customer of Hokema's for several years. They know their stuff and their expertise…read moreservicing 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!

I have…read moretried reaching out to "David Garrick", the President & CEO of Devon's but my request goes into deaf ears. We have done all of our jewelry business through Devon's for over 35+ years. It only takes one bad experience to ruin all the good ones. This one cost me $475.00 and surely when Sandy says, " let me know what I can do to make this up" she sure as hell isn't gonna credit me or give me the money I lost because of their screw up!!!! For our anniversary, my husband bought me a set of diamond earrings many years ago. Every anniversary for 3 years he would trade them in for a bigger diamond earrings set. Fast forward.... Recently we traded in my wedding set because ever since the prongs were redone on my current set and the prongs would get caught and snag things and my clothing. Even after having it sent back to have the prongs smoothed down. When we traded my set in for the new set we had extra credit and decided to purchase a set of 14k gold Diamond earrings as a gift. The Diamond earrings were never given as a gift. So, we decided to trade the 14k gold Diamond earrings and my current white gold earrings in for a nicer set of earrings. Two employees, Karen and another guy could not find my older Diamond earrings in their system. I even told him to ask Sandy the manager she will remember. They kept saying, I didn't buy them there, I had to have purchased them somewhere else. I called back a couple days later and they still couldn't find anything. I wound up selling the newer 14 karat gold diamond earrings on Facebook marketplace and lost money on them. Because I don't wear yellow gold and I could not return them because it was four months after the purchase and there return policy is 30 days. Fast forward.... I was shopping for a set of birth stone earrings for a gift. While in the mall I briefly glanced at Devon's and seen Sandy (the manager) was working. I shared my recent experience with her and and how her employee said I never bought my diamond earrings there. Sandy explained something was going on with their system and found all 3 purchases of my diamond earrings in the system. I shared again how her employees, very adamant about how I did not buy them there. The last pair of diamond earrings she said were in her system as yellow gold, but my earrings are white gold. Same exact size and everything else. I may have had them put in the white gold setting years ago, but it would have been done through Devon's which they should have had a record of that. The following day Sandy called me with all the proof and verified, yes my earring were reset in WG by Devon's. (Photo of record attached) Karen was present and I told her she owed me an apology for being so adamant that I never bought my earrings there. Karen started acting dumb and making faces like she had absolutely no clue what was going on, let alone being any part of it. THAT PISSED ME OFF! So I walked out of the store. To NEVER return again! Sandy called me minutes later on my phone offering to make it right with the birthstone earrings that I was shopping for. A bit reluctant, I went back to Devon's and looked at the birthstone earrings. I did not feel good vibes at all and definitely wasn't getting any good deals she offered. I never got an apology, lost money because of it. I left and bought the birthstone earrings elsewhere. Its unfortunate I have to return every 6 months to keep up my warranty. But, I will NEVER give Devon's my business again!!!!
