The staff in the front is always friendly and helpful. The technicians that work in the back are excellent. I had a problem with a pice of equipment. The person that rented it did not inform them that they broke a part on it . When I got back to the rental shop and explained what was wrong the technician took time from his lunch break to fix the equipment. I received excellent customer service. From all of the staff.

Well it has nothing to do with the chainsaw with a dull chain (Unusable) that I threw $95 away on. Great for making baby powder, not so great for cutting fallen trees out of your way 100 miles from the nearest store Sucked badly. Trees remain, just scared up. My reason for the score is the rent on Friday return Monday pay for only one day...
