One is that as a homeowner, and owner of two rental properties, good, honest, reliable technicians and tradesmen are difficult to find and hold. Bill Robertson, owner of Kimco Mechanical was one that- at one time. That good relationship has been trashed by Robertson and Kimco.Over the years, between my three properties with four HVAC systems, Kimco Mechanical and I have done around $15,000 in business. All was well. Bill Robertson and his company Kimco Mechanical were responsive, pleasant, fair and honest.Another reason is that Robertson and Kimco had always been good to us, so this turn of events was a confusing shock.In January of 2021 we needed a new HVAC system at our rental. The roof there is old but serviceable. There was an old furnace vent pipe piercing the roof that would be rendered obsolete after the new HVAC install. We had had a leak there in the past, but this had been professionally repaired prior to the HVAC system install and the roof was fine- until…Kimco removed much of, and shortened that vent pipe through the roof, capped it and resealed it as part of the old furnace removal, but it immediately leaked at first rain. I called Kimco and they quickly addressed it themselves once, but the leaks continued every rain. I sent videos and pictures of the leaks from the tenants and I continued to call Bill and Kimco. I was then told “I don’t do roofs- look at my invoice- it says so!” (It does say that). I said that “it wasn’t leaking until you messed with it”. He said “not my problem”.I asked “if you had torn a carpet, or broke a window by mistake during the HVAC install, even if you “don’t do carpets or windows”, wouldn’t you FEEL responsible and actually BE legally responsible for fixing it- either yourself or by a professional?”. I was told again “I don’t do roofs, look at my invoice”.I suggested a compromise where I paid a roofer, and then was reimbursed by Kimco, either with cash or in free or discounted service calls, etc., but was told “Nope. I don’t do roofs- not my problem”. The professional roof repair cost me $150- no big deal. I moved on. There was no skin off Kimco’s back whatsoever.I was willing to forget this $150 rip-off and continue to use Kimco because of the long history. When another recent HVAC emergency arose (our HVAC struck by lightning), I called multiple times, but was ghosted by Robertson and Kimco. No answer at cell or office. No callback, not even a “get lost”. I asked to have an adult conversation if there was some issue. Nope. Nothing. Apparently, Robertson had decided we were done, but didn’t have enough guts to say so. Kimco left us hanging with no AC in August.Do not do business with Kimco Mechanical or Bill Robertson. They “don’t do roofs”.Worse: They don’t fix what they break.Then: They Ghost You.Steve O’Connell

Kwick Taco is located inside the Kimco convenience store that used to be Casey's Citgo on Elm-Eugene at Meadowview Rd. Mainly take-out, they do tacos, tortas, burritos, sopes, gorditas and a few more things including burgers and hot dogs. Taco options include chicken, beef, al pastor and a couple more that they lady told me, but I can't remember all of them and they weren't posted anywhere. I ordered 2 chicken and 2 al pastor tacos and an al pastor sope. Tacos are served street style, corn tortillas topped with cilantro and onions, my order was served with sliced radishes, a roasted pepper and lime wedges on the side along with their red and greens sauces. The chicken was good, it was just grilled chicken chopped into little pieces, almost minced, the al pastor was pork, onions, pineapple and spices cooked together, there was a tiny tiny amount of pork in the mixture on my tacos, it was mainly all cooked onions with a few pineapple chunks, the sope was the same, pork was scarce, but it was still good. The red and green sauces gave some great added flavor, the red brought some heat. I'm sure I'll stop by again at some point and try some other items.

Very good food and fast will return
