    Best forklift shop around

    Been coming here for years. Always friendly and honest about what actually needs fixing versus what can wait.

    Solid forklift and helpful staff

    Bought a used Toyota forklift from Marcus. Good machine overall. Just took a little longer than expected to get the paperwork finalized during pickup.

    Average parts prices

    They had the part, but I've seen it cheaper elsewhere. Good if you're in a pinch.

    Hidden fees were ridiculous

    They added a bunch of surprise fees to the final bill that weren't mentioned at the start. Unprofessional.

    Decent inventory but long wait

    They had the lift I needed but the financing process took way longer than they promised. I was there for three hours.

    Good parts, slow service

    Parts department is great, but the service desk could definitely use more help on busy mornings.

    Top notch service in Live Oak

    Needed a quick hydraulic line replacement for our warehouse crew. Sarah had the part ready immediately. Professional and fair pricing.

    Excellent trade in experience

    Traded in our old Hyster for a newer model. Greg made the valuation super fair and the deal was wrapped up in no time. Great service.

    Great local forklift experts

    These guys know their stuff. Had an issue with our mast assembly and Dave helped me troubleshoot it over the phone. Saved us a trip.

    Reliable parts for our fleet

    They always have the filters and seals I need in stock. Saves my shop a ton of downtime.

    Quick response time

    Had a breakdown mid-shift. They sent a tech out within two hours. Really saved our production schedule.

    Sold me a broken machine

    The lift I bought started leaking oil immediately. They refused to stand by their warranty. Terrible service.

    Zero follow up on repairs

    Brought my forklift in for a routine check and they kept it for two weeks without updating me once. Extremely frustrating experience.

    Waste of time and money

    Took my lift in for an engine issue and it came back worse. Spent way too much for nothing.

    Okay selection for used gear

    Staff is nice but the inventory was a bit picked over. Found what I needed eventually though.
