Good experience. Brought a tractor from them was it perfect? No I didnt expect it to be. I got it for the price I wanted to pay fixed what was wrong and I couldnt be happier.

If you cant fix it dont buy it

I purchased a fleet truck here as running great. When the truck came in it was smoking rattling horrible engine noise. Nothing was described on the listing of the auction about major issues or at least smoking like that. Purchased the truck in December contacted the auction multiple times over 30 times and emails was brought the run around emails where sent to multiple managers and the owner no answer back. I spoke to Kim multiple times she was very very helpful but she can't do much to have helped me out since shes not the person in charge about these kind of issues. Was avoided to the fullest

The biggest problem was that after having attended this I was under the impression that all of the bumps in the road would be disclosed here, but this is not the case. Your team should be more transparent about your online bidding policy. This is my biggest concern. After arriving
