NCRPC Business Finance Program Assists in Business Expansion Project
Duis Automotive LLC has been serving the Hanover community and surrounding areas since 2018, helping keep vehicles and farm machinery running reliably.
The business offers a full range of auto repair services for both older and newer vehicles, including oil changes, diagnostics, engine repair, brakes, A/C, and transmission service. In addition, they service tractors and heavy trucks.
Owner Kurt Duis brings extensive experience in automotive and equipment repair. He earned an associate’s degree in Farm Diesel Mechanics from Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska, in 2007. After many years working for a local implement dealer, Kurt established his own business in 2018, choosing Hanover, Kansas, as its home.
To meet growing demand, the business expanded its facility last year with the addition of a new 60-by-60-foot shop. The expanded space, which includes three additional hoists, has improved workflow efficiency and increased service capacity.
This investment allows the business to serve more customers efficiently while ensuring area producers and residents have access to dependable, high-quality service.
“As demand grows, our business remains committed to providing reliable repairs and supporting the long-term vitality of the Hanover community and surrounding area,” said Duis.
The business expansion project was made possible through investments from the owners, assistance from the Citizens State Bank in Hanover, and the North Central Kansas Business Down Payment Assistance Loan Program.
