Awesome, I thought I needed a trailer at the last minute to help a friend get his motorcycle home. While they were helping me get the right hitch. I got a call that trailer not needed. I felt bad but they were gracious!!! Great people!!! I will be back!!! Thank you guys.

Amazingly helpful guys on staff, funny, real, great energy that is contagious. My new go to place for any rentals strictly based on interactions with them. Equipment also ran perfectly so that’s a plus
DON’T buy any equipment from them, I just bought a new machine, and I didn’t use it more than 15 minutes, and stopped working, I take it back hoping get it fixed or get my money back, no hope, they treat me like a joke, don’t want to take responsibility about the problem.
Renting tools and equipment here is a breeze. The staff is fantastic, and Jim really stands out for his expertise, and is very helpful. I highly recommend this place for all your rental needs.

Jimmy and team are the best I've worked with! Super friendly, helpful, great value, they have all the things. Shoot... I come here for the team spirit!
This was my second rental from the Cresco located in Pleasant Hill. As always, the staff provided exceptional service and support. I rented the SUNFIRE SF80 Portable Radiant Heater to heat the backyard for an outdoor party. Carlos and Devon assisted me when I picked up the heater and walked me through the steps of operation. Once I got the heater home, I had to call Cresco to troubleshoot the heater. Devon took the time to help and stayed on the phone until I was able to get the heater to start. Unfortunately, the heater was too loud and served as a distraction at the party. After 10 minutes, we turned it off and it served as a conversation piece throughout the night. On Monday, I returned the heater and spoke with Jimmy at the front desk. After explaining that we were unable to use the heater, Jimmy empathized with me and waived the rental fees. Talk about customer service. I will definitely support this local business in the future and appreciate the professionalism of the staff from start to finish.
