I have had nothing but incredible service from any Christys I have worked with but my home location is this one in Cherry Creek. Everyone I have worked with has been extremely kind, helpful and easy to work with, even when they're overwhelmed with people in early season. They have taken time to make sure I am comfortable and happy with all of my equipment when in the store and been super helpful answering questions on the phone. I have rented from them for the last two years and have recommended them to several friends. I have found their rental pricing, especially season rentals to be very affordable and the rentals to be great quality. I hope to buy from them this year!
