Ripoff artists - stay away! They offer a "weekend special" to rent a skid loader for $500 over the three day Labor Day weekend -total including delivery and puckup and fuel...$938.81. They couldn't get to the area due to flooding on Tuesday (record rainfall on Monday eve). They did not come to pick up the machine for several days due to the weather, then called and asked me if I wanted to keep it for another week and I said yes, and they were to give me a "repeat deal" for another weekend bill me only one day since it was too wet and muddy. When it finally dried out enough to use the machine, I used it about 4 hours and got a flat - the tires they send this machine out with are "may pops" and I have pictures of this tire the day before it went flat - very bad condition. I then obtained a spare tire and rim to put on the machine the next day and while I was enroute to the jobsite to change the tire, these goons came on my property and confiscated the bobcat with the flat tire (without permission) and claimed I was "Abusing" their machine. Then they charged the remainder of my deposit ($1483.23) and then on top of that charged another $390 for the flat tire and another $42.50 for fuel and $109 for a refund I was not given (the $109 was supposed to cover fuel and incidentals, so they gouged me more than double).
I am now challenging their $1483.23 charge to my credit card (over and above the legitimate charges).
These goons have ripped me off for about $1500 - double what they should have charged. The management of this store are operating a RACKET - and should be arrested for theft and extortion, I will be filing charges of theft if they give me ANY trouble about refunding my $1483.23 because I have to rent another machine for a week - from a reputable local machine company- for about $1500. Had they left this machine on site as I BEGGED them to do when they were stealing the machine off of my property, I would not need to rent this other machine- I had about 2 more days of work to do had they left the machine there for a few days now that it dried out as agreed to - one day rental if I use it less than 8 hours/week. These thieves and greedy con artists ripped me off. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH RENTAL ONE IN BULVERDE!!!!! read more
