    No longer a customer after over 25 years of shopping there through good and bad management. Do not…read morerent equipment from them, they will charge you for service and repairs due to previous rentals and claim you abused the equipment. I rented a Toro Dingo recently, used it three hours to grade dirt then moved four rocks, all under 300 lbs., well under the max lifting capacity of the Dingo and it started leaking hydraulic fluid all over my driveway and yard. I was told I may be responsible for the repairs, when they picked it up and that they would let me know. They let me know only by charging my credit card an additional $450. When I questioned them about it, one of the teenagers working there showed me a large piece of plastic that had been jammed into the undercarriage by a previous rental. It looked to be a piece of above ground swimming pool that was probably crushed into a dumpster with the machine. I work in commercial construction and use this type of equipment all of the time, there is no way anything I did would have caused this failure. The particular model of Dingo they rent is known on equipment forums for leaking, something I found out after the rental. My wife and I will no longer shop there in the future. We probably made purchases on average once or twice a week the last 25 years. No more. We will drive to KC, Liberty, Gladstone or St. Joe from now on, no matter what and support competing businesses. The $450 I was charged for repairs is going to buy a lot of great marketing. My wife is a local business owner since 2000 and I work around Smithville and the entire KC metro area. We will be sharing our experience with anyone local and beyond. Over the last six or seven years, we have made a point to shop there since the local alderman approved a TIF, granting a significant tax advantage to another competitive hardware store. Prior to the passage of the TIF, we opposed its approval because all local businesses should be subject to the same rules and the aldermen want to play favorites. If you need to rent equipment, go through United, Sunbelt or Home Depot, better service and they won't make you pay for previous abuse or damage.

    Nice folks, very helpful. Got everything I needed in one trip…read more They even have a discount card program.

    As someone who really isn't that much into heavy duty home improvement, I like Lowe's better than…read moreHome Depot, because I can get more soft line stuff for the house without feeling like I need to be a contractor in order to be legit. However, this review is for a specific service of Lowe's, mainly their live Christmas tree selection. In all our years of living in Southern California (San Diego) we never had a problem finding live trees. There were lots on every corner and many, many stores also sold them. Targets, CVS...you name it, and there were live trees propped outside, waiting to be bought. Imagine our surprise to come to the midwest and find live trees scarce! I can't tell you how many stores we drove to that first year, trying to find someone who had something other than the artificial trees. Again, I have to marvel at how ironic it is that metropolitan San Diego would win over the heart of the midwest for finding live trees! Thankfully, Lowe's is close by and they have a nice selection. This year we chose an 8 ft. Frasier pine and that tree stayed fresh and fragrant from the first day of December right on up til January 2. Same with our tree last year. So, I'm giving credit to Lowe's for having such a beautiful assortment of trees and for making sure they are fresh. And as an aside, when we purchased the tree, everyone in that area was super friendly and helpful. They cut off the bottom of the tree, trimmed a few wild branches and then bagged it for us, all with a smile.

    Completely incompetent department and zero follow-through. I…read morecame here to order a 5-panel Jeld-Wen door and handed them every exact spec and my contact info. I waited 10 days and heard absolutely nothing. When I went back to check on it, the entire department was totally abandoned. I had to get someone from another section to page help and stood around waiting like an idiot. When someone finally checked the system, they had absolutely nothing on file. The order was never even entered. No doubt a trickle down affect from store leadership but Nicole Klinger is the supervisor of this department and she is completely failing Lowe's customers. Leaving a department empty and totally dropping the ball on a customer's order is pathetic and it's noted! Earn that paycheck Supervisor!
