June 06, 2025Disappointing Experience with Overhyped Equipment
I've been in the construction business for over a decade, and I've had my fair share of dealings with equipment providers. Unfortunately, my experience with Howard-McAnear Equipment Company was a letdown. We rented a couple of their Caterpillar machines for a project, and while the sales team was friendly, the equipment itself was not as reliable as promised. The air conditioning in one of the cabs didn't work, and the hydraulic excavator had a weird vibration issue that slowed down our work. When I called their service department, they took ages to send someone over, and even then, the repair took longer than expected. For a company that boasts about its extensive fleet and expert service, I expected more. Maybe it was just a one-off bad experience, but I'm not convinced I'll be using them again anytime soon. The prices were competitive, I'll give them that, but reliability and service matter more to me than saving a few bucks. If you're in the market for construction equipment, I'd recommend shopping around before committing to Howard-McAnear.
