Just took delivery of a FMAX 207 trailer from Diamond C. Luke was amazing to work with. Clear communication, very knowledgeable, fair price, and valued my time. The trailer was ready on time for pickup, it was clean, and they swiftly unhooked my trade in and set the new trailer ride height. I'll be back!

I stopped in needing a new adjustable receiver hitch. They had a good selection of B&W and Shocker Hitches. After talking with Luke I went with the Shocker hitch. As I pull a wide variety of trailers this hitch was a great choice. It is easy to use and makes the ride smother. It uses an air bag to smooth out your ride. Thanks Luke for you recommendation and knowledge! I’ll definitely be back to see you for my trailer needs.

100% satisfied. The sales rep. helped me find the correct trailer for my needs, and did it while following my request to keep the price low. The walk through helped me to feel confident with the proper function of the trailers features. The sales manager, sales rep. and service rep. were friendly, clear and helpful.
