As I was leaving, I overheard one of the ladies in the back (I assume the co owner) verbally abusing and very snappy to her co workers. Good parts. I like Kent (owner) for the amazing service!

We were blessed to find Kent Lorenson at his shop on the first Saturday that he wasn't supposed to be open. After letting him know what kind of problem we had, he said he'd work on it on Monday and allowed us to stay in his shop's driveway until then. The repair was done on Wednesday, but we didn't drive it until Friday as we wanted the roofing cement to be cured completely. We took a water hose up on the roof to see if there were any leaks, my wife and I were inside, and there weren't any. I strongly recommend Lorenson Industries. In addition to everyone in the shop being friendly, the greeter is a golden lab. Very nice dog!

I took my Toyota Prius to Gallant for an oil change and tire balancing. I was made wary by customer…read moreservice area far more filthy and disordered than any other auto shop that I'd seen. But I chose not to let housekeeping represent mechanical ability. A quarter-mile afterward the service, a dashboard warning light that I'd never seen came on. I just made it back to the shop, but soon the car wouldn't move, and then wouldn't even start. The mechanic couldn't diagnose the problem with his diagnostic plug-in device. He pumped the gas pedal, which I rather doubt would solve the problem for a hybrid, fuel-injected car, and it didn't. I learned that during the oil change he had, unasked, also opened the air filter. I suspected that in doing so he had dumped in mouse or rat droppings, because this had happened with another mechanic. That cost me a towing fee and a new battery before we figured out the problem. The first mechanic at least returned $100 to help with about $300 in costs. You could say I should've learned from this and warned Gallant, but I didn't think of the air filter, because I hadn't asked them to address it. They did finally find the turds -- and then charged me almost $100 for cleaning out the filter assembly. They backed off when I emphasized that it was their meddling error that had done the damage. This exchange came the next day. The hired mechanic hadn't been able to find the problem late the earlier afternoon, and although Gallant said its closing time was not until 7 p.m., that day the owner/boss couldn't be bothered and effectively shut down at 5. I had to ask a friend to drive 36 miles to get me home that evening. Next day I had to drive back, with my wife, in our other car. The owner/boss told me the repair had been made, but that the instruments didn't show the electric motor working. He said that for the motor battery to die was typical by the time a Prius was 19 years old. In fact, the battery and motor still worked fine.

The problem is resolved and you don't need to keep coming back for the same repair. Emile and Jasmine are two of the nicest people I have met in Lindsborg. They will have my business as long as I am living in Kansas. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Mr. Hemmy is knowledgeable and helpful and will not try to upsell unneeded parts/components. They will swap out batteries for you upon purchase and their cost is much lower than dealerships or aftermarket repair shops. I manage six vans as part of a fleet and a local aftermarket shop told me one of our vans with less than 30,000 miles needed a new battery and would not hold charge. I drove the van to Clare where Mr. Hemmy said a battery with 30,000 miles on it should be good. He then wheeled out his tester and advised the battery was good and did not need replacement. He did not charge us for the diagnosis and our company added him as a vendor. That same battery is still in the van after 60,000 miles - saving our company several hundred dollars.

The mechanic could not tell us who worked on the vehicle, nor why the problem was not pointed out.
