A-1 Coast Rentals & Sales

good news it has been sold, i hear at the end of the year its getting scraped and they are going to build a bunch of townhomes there, traffic is bad now just wait !

I rented a linoleum roller and a Dolly. The price was very reasonable, the service was incredible, and it was a phenomenal experience! Terry, (I think that was her name), let me return the Dolly early before they opened and said she would take care of it. This is the kind of people I want to do business with!

I rented a stump grinder from them and they had a top of the line Vermeer which is much better than what Home Depot carries and they charge less too.

I had the most positive experience with A-​1! Yes, I was way out of my comfort zone renting construction equipment, but I was faced with a situation that required an extreme solution. I had to get my parents’ pool drained. When I was done with deluding myself and was ready to solve my problem, I visited A-​1 Coast Rentals for a sub-​pump and 300 feet of hose. You might ask if I am a fireman or construction worker… Well, I am now. They way I assembled those hoses and connected the couplings, you would have thought I was a trained professional something or other. Anyway, A-​1 gave me a demonstration and I went with it! This was no joke! I had to come across, because I really didn’t want the help of a neighbor’s son… who was on parole. Nothing personal, but I didn’t want to be the news! So, when he asked if I needed help, I said, thank you — No! A-​1 Coast has me straight! I felt so relieved when the pool was empty! I did exactly what Larry at A-​1 told me. It almost killed me, but that part out the pool is done! A-​1 was there for me every step of the way! Teri was totally with me! They saved me thousands!

Great place for tool rental. Employees were courteous and helpful. I was happy to see their rates were lower than anticipated. I was renting from another rental shop who ended up not having the taller ladder I needed. I looked on Unilocal and found these guys. They had the ladder and at a lower cost. My fault for not previously shopping around. I’ve since gone back for a couple other items. They were helpful and worked the rental fee around schedules. Very accommodating. The last trip was the third and all have been positive. Good job guys!

Rented us a busted ladder– big time safety hazard and a waste of time. But they apologized and didn’t charge us. Service was good overall. would go back, but just would make sure to inspect all equipment before renting.

This place is located along lomita and Crenshaw. The entrance is along lomita and the exit is along Crenshaw. I’ve been coming here for years to buy propane. They have reasonable prices and their service is great.

Three years ago for my children’s school carnival, I ordered light towers, a generator, spider box and cables. The previous suppliers prices and service had been awful. A-​1 showed me in their yard how to operate everything. Upon delivery, one of the drivers showed me again. The front desk, Terri and I believe her name is Vicki were truly great the first time that I went in dazed and confused. We’ve repeated our business last year and this year because the service is wonderful and the deliver and pickup when they say they will. Thanks, Laura

I had ordered a certain type of equipment from a place called South Bay Rentals and when we showed up there, it was NOT what we ordered. We left and drove over to A1 Coast Rentals. We should have STARTED there! They were so very nice and helpful, funny, just generally great people and great customer service (unlike South Bay, which we do NOT recommend but they are not here on Unilocal to review).
You won’t be disappointed! They’re very knowledgeable and just all around great people. :)

These guys were a huge help getting some massive equipment without which we could not have got our project done, but that we weren’t likely to ever need again. It’s a construction yard, not a replacement for Lowe’s, Jefferson C.
I found the staff friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. Thanks, guys!

A-​1 is a terrible business. I usually rent from United Rentals in Gardena. I needed a pipe threader and United did not have one so I reluctantly rented from A-​1. The women at the counter are unfriendly and angry at the world They have zero customer relation skills. Teri is particularly angry and from the looks of it, she doesn’t miss a her daily trip to the donut shop. I thought I was at the DMV if you get the picture. Anyway, the equipment is old and in terrible shape and the entire ordeal was a huge waste of my time and money. I returned the piece of junk threader, canceled my credit card charge and went to Quality Rental in Inglewood. Teri told me to never come back. I stopped going there 10 years ago and only returned as a last resort but never again. In today’s economy, I can’t believe a place like that stays in business. The yard guys were cool. It is going to suck for them when that place folds. Rent from Bob Gregory at United rentals in Gardena. He is a very nice guy who understands customer service and treats customers accordingly.

This place gets 1 ½ stars rounded up. I came here to rent some tools for a project I was doing at home, building a simple storage shed. I needed to rent a nail gun a power drill and a skill saw. So first off they had had 4 framing guns all of them were broke. Next was the skill saw, in the shop it seemed ok but once I got it home I had a bunch of issues.
All in all my experience sucked and wasted a ton of time and money. Boo

There is no honey do list at my house… If I want it done I do it myself…
Pulled the carpet in my house myself, sanded the floors and stained them… Love this place… They helped me so much…
Painted the outside of the house…
Cut the huge tree in front of the house…
Going back this weekend… lol

Have to get this off my chest… I was thinking about renting a power saw for a few hours to cut down a small tree. Called these people and got a quote over the phone. It was cheap enough that I decided to try and do the job myself.
When I got to the store and asked for the saw I was quoted a MUCH higher price. (Apparently the salesperson on the phone made a mistake.) When I asked him to honor the price he quoted me just 30 minutes prior he refused.
The manager was not in, but I called back later and explained the situation. She too refused to honor the price I was quoted! I explained that their error resulted in 2 hours of wasted time for me and that I would never return and that I would share this story with my neighbors, friends, etc.
Manager didn’t seem to care! She acknowledged the error but didn’t budge on the price.
I realize I am just an ordinary DIYer, but this incident says a lot about the store and manager. How foolish to lose customer goodwill over something that was clearly their mistake!
As promised, I told many people, including posting a sign in the teachers’ lounge where I work.
AVOID A-​1 COAST RENTAL AND SALES!

They have all the outdoor equipment you can think of, things like trenchers and chainsaws and backhoes and bobcats, and tools for the inside of the house like sanders and scaffolds. I’ve rented from the m many times, rather pay and use it then go out and buy something I really don’t need. I’ve never had a problem until last week, I rented a trencher that was great, came on a trailer, nice heavy unit, but my yard was too sloped to use it, it was just not meant for that, they were extremely accommodating and apologized to ME for not asking me if my yard was sloped, took care of it no problem. Great staff. Good tools.

Remodeling? Weekend project? Moving? Whatever you need for whatever you’re doing, these guys probably have it, from tools to trucks to porta-​potties to forklifts to scissorlifts, these people have everything. The prices aren’t bad, and if you pick it up on Saturday and get it back by Monday morning they only charge you a single day’s rental.
They have a huge list of tools and if you aren’t sure, just call. They even carry an airlift — basically two plastic skids with a permeable rubber base and a portable air compressor, so you can slide the skids under something heavy like that fridge you bought, turn on the compressor, and slide it around like an air hockey puck. They have sanders for refinishing floors, from your basic drum sander to the more newbie friendly giant random orbit floor sander, and extras like edgers. The staff is friendly and will give you a demo of how to use the tool if you’re uninitiated.
