I have done business with Sunbelt for years. I am not a contractor just a very active DIYer and have used Sunbelt a lot. I have never had a bad experience. I felt it necessary to write a great review for my last experience. I arrived at Sunbelt to pick up my rental, and everything was loaded, ready to go and on time. After hooking up to the trailer and traveling approximately one mile. I saw smoke coming from the trailer. I returned to the store and they promptly switched me to another trailer. Derek and his crew immediately went to work diagnosing the problem and found the issue to be a dead short on my truck. The Sun Belt crew repaired the short on my truck for no charge. It is great to have a group of people dedicated to customer service.
