“STRANDED. On a 3-day holiday weekend. I was a driving a Ford F350 diesel truck to Grand Junction, CO, 4 hours further than Denver. The transfer case went out just outside of Salina, KS. I parked it for the weekend in a hotel parking lot, then drove it to Central Plains Diesel & Repair as soon as they opened on Tuesday morning. I was greeted and immediately attended to. Dan, the owner, is friendly, respectful, and knew his crew would do all they could to get my truck up and running. The mechanic that worked on my truck is David, and the Shop Manager is Adam, who makes sure everything gets done right, and on time. David took the time to explain the problem and offered options on repairs. He was honest with his knowledge, and skillful in his work. He tested the part before and after he installed it. It wasn't quite perfect so he ordered a new seal for the transfer case, tested it again, and sent me down the road that very evening. I highly recommend Central Plains Diesel & Repair. They really care about providing high quality service. And I can tell you, this company was built on trust and integrity. - Joe S.”

“I brought in a front tractor tire, I expected that the tire was ruined and these nice folks looked it over, fixed it and made it better than new. They saved me from buying a brand new tire! They have surely got my business from now on. Thank u for ur integrity!”
“Our car broke down on our way to Galveston, TX. The gas station where our car broke down recommended McElderry Automotive. I'm so glad they did... with the circumstances of being out of the country for the week we were still able to make arrangements for the repair that needed done and it was ready for pick up when we made it back. Despite everything it was a smooth transaction. Thanks again!!”
“We were traveling through Salina and our alternator had quit. We called and Corey told me to bring our truck over and he would check it out. We went there and he figured out the problem and fixed it for us and we were able to continue our trip. Thank you Corey for your service and working us in. We appreciated it very much.

“We were traveling through, pulling a camper trailer. Had a blow out a few miles from there. Austin was great. I know he was ready to go home, but he stuck around and helped us get going again. Thank you Austin.”
“They are awesome. Always find a better deal with them. Quick in getting my new tires installed. Last ones lasted 3 years and had not much tread left. Well worth it.”

“Very knowledgeable. I stopped by thinking I was needing a somewhat labor intensive repair. He showed me what was actually wrong with my car and explained it in a way I could comprehend. Great and honest service. Next time I need a repair, I'm coming back here.”
“Amazing service!! I called to have my vehicle looked at, and had it in their shop the following morning, and it was fixed within a few hours. Aaron is fantastic! Excellent service and the kindest people!! This is the place to go for any auto services!”
“Conklin Cars is a great place for service and a smile. I went in for new windshield wipers and came out with a can of glass cleaner, which by the way, works great!”
“This guy was super helpful. Checked my car over and told me his honest opinion. When I had him fix something they saved the parts to show me what they found and what was changed. Fair pricing.”
“We were on the road and thought we had a problem due to excessive heat in the rear seats. Turns out the grandkids had turned on the heater - and Lance the service advisor helped us get the setting corrected and turn of the climate controls so the grandkids can’t do that again.”

“I had my passenger front door replaced December 2022 a few months after I had to work done I noticed that my window was not going up and down kind of forgot about it until today when I went in to the shop and asked if they could fix it no questions asked he put it in the garage 3 years later and it works fine there was also a problem with my back passenger door not latching properly he fixed that as well had no charge thank you Midwest Auto collision !”
“I was far from home, working remotely and picked up a large diameter bolt stuck right through the tread. I made it into their shop asked them for a repair with no prior purchases. They promptly repaired the tire then proceeded to tell me they perform flat repairs for free. I fully expected to pay for the service since I had never purchase anything from this store ... nope, they happily fixed the tire without any hesitation. That's customer care right there.”
“After my 1988 Suburban was stranded in Salina Kansas getting a new engine for just under a month I found Oard's and asked them to look at my transmission that also had issues. They graciously checked it out from one end to the other, replaced some leaking transmission seals and then took it for a road test. The transmission was back to normal and I was ecstatic!!! What a relief because I'm getting ready to drive 1700 miles back to the Pacific North West to Gearhart, Oregon where I live. OARD's also noted the truck was pulling to the right on their road test and suggested I get an alignment due to how far I was driving so I did. OARD's was professional, very customer oriented and even more my truck loved their service dept. a lot as much as I do. OARD's was also reasonably priced - How can this be???? A guy or a lady "can't not go to OARD's" is my thinking? I wished I lived 1,645 miles closer to Salina than I do. On a scale of 1-10 OARD's gets an easy 12 And right next door to OARD's I hired Rob Harding from CLASSICS AUTO BODY & PAINT to paint my truck. Rob did a magnificent job cleaning up the trucks exterior surfaces and fixing a sagging door then he this an amazing paint job too. Rob also gets a 12 out of 10 too for everything he was able to do for me. Talk about having 2 customer oriented service companies side by side now that was a gift. That wasn't just a WOW experience it was a DOUBLE WOW experience!! Regards, DOUG BELL GEARHART, OREGON”

“We were traveling across Kansas with our truck and travel trailer when we decided to stop at a rest stop. When we started the truck back up we got a warning that there was a problem with the connection to the trailer. We disconnected the trailer, cleaned the contacts and still had the warning. All the lights still worked and as far as we could tell the trailer brakes were working . We looked up in the trucks owner’s manual and it just said to see a dealer.
So after spending 2+ hours at the dealer and not finding anything wrong with the truck, they referred us to Lorenson Industries. It was after 5 o’clock but they answered their phone. Told us that they could get us in three days later. ? We were only planning to spend one night in Salina, KS. After some more discussion they said we could come in first thing in the morning and they would look for any obvious problem but they wouldn’t have time for anything more than that.
So we arrived at 8:10 am the next morning and they got us in right away. In less than 20 minutes they found 2 broken wires leading to the rear drivers side brake on our trailer. All was fixed and we were back on the road in less than an hour! Thank you Kent Lorenson for squeezing us into your busy day. We truly appreciate it!!”
“Best transmission shop in this part of Kansas! Gary quoted me a price and stuck to it. My transmission works great now. Years of experience shows! Very orderly and clean shop. Thanks Gary!”
“My wife and I worked with Trevette and Javier to buy us a nice 2019 Honda Odyssey. The experience was wonderful. Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly! We love our new van!”

“Just had a Holley carburetor rebuilt for a mid 70's Chevy truck. Following the reinstall the engine fired right up and ran super. Don't be in a hurry. Good carburetor work is worth waiting on.”
“They beat the price of another shop in town by 20% for a timing belt and kit replacement, got me in quick, took me to work, picked me up, had done extra work to get my bumper cover better attached than when I brought it in (hanging on with zip ties), talked to me for quite awhile afterwards giving advice about other issues I had.Was extremely happy with the service and will be back.”
“Great crew of guys, always get me in and out quickly. Been going to them for my vehicles for years. Check all my fluids, filters, and tire pressures including my lights and signals. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in town for quick oil and fluid services! 10/10.”
“Dropped off my 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger and had them work on my fuel system and electrical. They did an awesome job! New gas tank, carb, and a few other things! Thank you!!! Much respect!”
“Had a slight emergency on our first day of travel, as we were traveling through Kansas, in that a corner of our tonneau cover broke, on the way to Utah. Pulled in and the owner successfully helped us fix the issue! Didn't get his name but we truly appreciate him! He wouldn't take any money, but we insisted! Cudos!”
“Been coming to Virg for several years. He does above average work and his prices are very reasonable. I will continue to come to Virg's Auto Repair. Thank you Virg.”
“My front seat was stuck in the recline position. I took it to the local Buick dealership. They told me I needed a whole new seat back and quoted me $1300. I wasn't expecting it to cost that much so told them I wanted to get a 2nd opinion and was charged $200 for them to just look at it and give me that quote. My boss suggested Downtown Auto. I took it to them, they said that yes, I did need the whole new seat back. They looked up the cost of the part and then their labor. Their quote was half of what the dealership was. They are honest and fair. I highly recommend Downtown Auto Service.”
