Great place for all your tool rentals
Thank you, Ray, for sharing your recommendation. We appreciate your support and are glad you consider us a reliable choice for equipment rentals.
rented a bobcat for the first time to dig 7’ deep holes in the backyard for posts massive posts. gus was really helpful and the gentleman that delivered walked me through everything. highly recommend. things i learned along the way - make sure to measure your work area to make sure the system you get will fit and have room to back up and turn. my space was very tight so i had to do most of my work at an angle, also had to watch out for power lines - get a 2 gallon gas jug to refill the diesel - make sure to tell them the type of terrain you’ll be working on. the wheeled bobcat is SUPER heavy and i cracked a lot of my thin concrete that im repairing now. also the grass easily gets dug out with wheels. just let them know so they can get you skids in this case. had a great experience and now feel confident if i need to rent again. thanks!
Zak, thank you for your thoughtful feedback and recommendation. We are pleased our team made your first Bobcat rental a smooth process.
Excellent customer service from start to finish. Travis answered all my questions, helped me choose the right equipment, and made delivery and return extremely easy and quick.
Thank you for highlighting Travis's support and the smooth process. We are pleased our team made equipment selection and logistics straightforward.
"CHERRY 🍒 Pickers" Mission ASSIGNMENTS USA. HOLY HOLY HOLY OR PAY THE "PIPER" 💸💸💰💸
The absolutely nicest staff of any rental agency I’ve ever visited! I had brought my toddler with me and they gave him a tour of his favorite truck (forklift) and the manager even gave him a toy to take home. I cannot speak enough for how friendly and courteous all of the staff here are and give them my full recommendation.
Sin duds un excelente servicio

I bought two light towers from Robert Fematt at Calgrove Canoga Park.Very professional gentleman. Also Alex Solis coordinated fixing some of our own light towers that were damaged from the winds and fires of last week. Again, great service, communication and punctuality.
Very helpful staff. Close and convenient location.
