Our landscape construction contracting company lost over $1,200 for a $250 rental because the equipment was faulty to begin with and should have never been rented out. Very poorly maintained, broken engine starter. The tech arrived 7 hours after the time they said which resulted in two people waiting a full day at a remote site. Three times they said they were 30 minutes away. The tech arrived after 5pm, would not remove the faulty equipment and I had to rearrange an entire two days of work because they would not replace it. The employee who answered my call handed me off to service who told me to talk to the people who handed me off. They then proceeded to raise their voices at me like it was all my fault. I now am about to lose another half a day to return the equipment 3 days later because they were closed and the tech wouldnt take it back on the day it was supposed to. Extremely frustrating and poor service during this experience.

I have rented 4 times. Never has anyone offered to give me the most basic instruction on the machines. Their prices are high and there are always hidden or add on fees. Last machine I returned (A wood chipper that ended up costing me $475 for 8 hours) early they said it will be $10 per gallon to fill it up. I asked why they did not tell me this when I Rented the machine. I figured for the exorbitant price the gas was included
