Businessman, mechanic, and car enthusiast are all words that describe Vernon Giedd. Vernon and Carolyn Giedd owned and operated Vernon’s Repair & Auto Service in Lake Andes for the past 27 years. This past March, he sold the business to JR Kiyukan who renamed the business to K Tire & Oil. Although Vernon no longer owns the repair shop, he still owns the car dealership and has cars available at K Tire & Oil. Derol Hall has worked for Vernon for many years and still assists him with the car dealership and sales. Giedd was very happy to be able to sell the business to Kiyukan because Kiyukan planned to continue to have the business open in Lake Andes. Vernon knew that Lake Andes could not afford to lose any more businesses. Kiyukan had worked for Vernon at his repair shop years previously so Giedd knew that Kiyukan could continue to bring good vehicle repair service to Lake Andes.
