But on a Monday morning, soon after that decision was made, some of the equipment would not work properly.  Service was requested, but the customer was told that due to a backlog of service requests, it would be later in the day before a repair technician could be dispatched.

About the same time this bad news came in, the project owner and the general contractor arrived for their scheduled Monday morning visit.  When asked why several employees were standing around, the supervisor explained that there were equipment issues.  We all know what happened next!

I think the point is that many customers confuse ‘cost savings’ with ‘value’.  In this example, the customer thought they were saving a few hundred dollars, when in reality – with lost productivity, time and labor costs – it may have cost them over a thousand dollars!

Star Rentals, Inc. takes great pride in creating value for their customers! We understand that downtime is costly.  So we make sure you get the service you need, when you need it.

They all are saying the same thing:  Commodity prices (copper, rubber, steel, etc.) are escalating rapidly throughout their supply chains and the inevitable equipment price increases are coming.

What does this mean?  Because rental rates are a function of the cost of the equipment, higher equipment prices will translate into higher rental rates.  After a decade of relatively stable equipment pricing from manufacturers – and subsequently rental rates that have fluctuated very little - there is change looming on the horizon.
