In many ways, purchasing equipment is more complicated and more important that purchasing your next passenger vehicle.

Compact tractors, excavators, skid loaders, commercial and residential mowers and the like help you get your job done efficiently and safely, and of course, the price affects your bottom line. The professionals at Sharon Springs Garage don't just understand this, they bring three generations of experience to selling and servicing this equipment. Here are their key tips for buying your next piece of equipment:

1) Think about any special challenges you might have. Does the property where you work most often have an extreme grade or troublesome wet areas? Do you want to avoid the maintenance issues you had on your last piece of equipment? Sharon Springs Garage's salespeople are committed to learning your needs and offering the best solutions possible, so come with your wish list in hand!

2) Have a tentative budget in mind. Sharon Springs Garage offers both new and used equipment with a variety of price points.

3) Do enough research to compare apples to apples. Before you make your final decision, you'll want to do enough research to ensure you're weighing all the factors and truly comparing apples to apples and getting everything you need. Different brands have different strengths, and of course, buying new is different from buying used, but your salesperson can help you make sense of all your options and provide extra industry insight.
