    Do yourself a favor, and don't buy from these dirtbags. Joe is a lying ***. I made the mistake of buying a knuckle boom truck that was advertised as, "Ready to go to work.". Nothing could have been further from the truth. 8 months after buying this thing, it has done 4 days of work. other than that, it has been to one shop after the other to try and get it to par. It broke down before it got here. Stuff happens, Sucks, but get it. When I told him the oil in the boom was very milky, he tried to convince me that was how it was supposed to be. I made him fix it. The tachometer and voltmeter didn't work. He tried to convince that it didn't matter. Who needs a DOT inspection anyway. The outrigger pads they sent were mismatched and completely destroyed. (He said he get me new ones, Never did.). No passenger seat in the truck. guessing he took it out to sell with the salvage business. He said he would get me one, never did. Advantage truck is one of the most dishonest business I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. (truck is currently in the shop for repairs again. In short, keep looking, and save yourself the headache and stress of getting screwed.

    We’re sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience purchasing a truck from our company. We strive to provide the highest level of service to all of our customers and take all feedback seriously. We did our best to quickly address your concerns, but it seems that we were unable to meet your expectations. Keep in mind a 17-year-old used truck will never look or perform like a brand-new vehicle. We recommend going forward you only purchase new equipment so that you aren’t disappointed.
