I was recommend to contact Keith through from a friend of mine that had keith find a few items years ago and he said the guy is a hit and miss, at times hes helpful and others he loses his head on you if he cant complete a deal, I had no other contact down here since im from BC . I was looking for an older tank for some equipment i have. I contacted Keith and told him what i was looking for I gave him the the proper sizes and specs of what i required. he said he will find it and get back to me within the week. A week and a half later i contacted him because i never heard back from him and he asked me for the order again like we had never talked before about it. I went over it again and he now told me to give him 2 weeks. I told him i needed it asap. 2 weeks goes by and i contacted him again. He got upset with me as i asked him what was going on and he said he usually needs a month to deal with things. ??????? I told him i was going to find someone else. 2 days later he calls me and says he has the tanks and can deliver them to me up north since i was busy for an extra $400. I agreed and the next day he pulled into the job site with 2 tanks NOTHING LIKE WHAT I ASKED FOR, One was 1/2 the size and the other wasnt even a gas tank!! I thought i was a joke. I asked what the hell was going on and where my tanks were and he lost it , screaming and yell and demanded me to pay for them plus the $400 delivery, I told him if he didnt get off our property Id get the police involved and have them remove him.He then demanded me pay for the delivery!! Are you serious! I think the guy needs to retire hes looks like hes in his late 70's possibly 80's and his mind is not quite right. Apparently hes been doing this his whole life thats great but hes losing his mind. He wasted almost a month of my time. I would NEVER recommend him.
No, I would NOT recommend this business to a friend
Keith Smith is your go to guy for older equipment parts
I needed used tires for my road grader and was put in touch with Keith by a friend of mine. Keith knows how to just about get you anything as he has been in the business all his life. As I am new to the area he went to Ottawa and picked the tires up and brought them to his yard in Orillia where his yard was easy to find. He help me load and tie down. He also contacted me several times with info on other tires and sent me pictures. He seems to know where to get just about every thing and is very helpful. The business salvages older heavy equipment, gravel crushers, conveyors, etc. and parts them out which is a god send to anyone with equipment that is dated and repairs unavailable. If you can't find I'm sure Keith can. Tony Barlow Services and Consulting.
