Regretful Renter: Overpriced and Underwhelming Experience

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Portside Rent Shop in New Glasgow. As a local contractor, I've used their services several times before, but my last rental was a total letdown. I needed a skid steer for a residential project, and they quoted me a price that seemed reasonable at first. However, when I picked up the equipment, I was surprised to find that it was older than expected and had several issues, including a faulty hydraulic system. The staff seemed uninterested in addressing my concerns, and when I asked for a discount or a replacement, they flat out refused. To make matters worse, the equipment broke down on the second day of use, causing significant delays and additional costs for my project. When I returned the skid steer, they tried to charge me for the damage, claiming it was my fault. The whole experience was frustrating, and I felt like they were more interested in making a quick buck than in providing decent customer service. With so many other options available in the area, I'd advise others to steer clear of Portside Rent Shop and take their business (and their hard-earned money) elsewhere. One star from me, and that's being generous.
