Testimonials

I am writing to recommend the services of Don Smock Auction. STAR Financial Bank has been utilizing Smock equipment auctions for appraisals for several years and have been very satisfied with the results and communication. I have no doubt the Smock Auction group would be an asset to your organization. I offer my highest recommendations.

The whole appraisal process was painless to me and I felt like those were numbers you were going to work hard to get for us.

I just wanted to send a brief note thanking you for all for your help with our recent appraisals. You and Matt Scalf have been a big help to us. Both of you have been very professional and a pleasure to work with. We are impressed with not only your turnaround time and content within the appraisals, but also your overall knowledge and expertise in giving us quality work within these very tough equipment appraisals of recent.
When we do run into any trouble or have the need of appraising any more equipment you will be at the top of our list. Than you again for all your hard work.

I wanted to send you this brief noting thanking you for your help on appraising and liquidating my assets earlier this year. I am pleased with the quality of work and the timeliness of both projects. The accuracy of the appraisal helped make my decision. You and your staff did an excellent job structuring the auction to provide us with the best chance of a successful result. We understand the limited market on our boring machines and were very pleased with your marketing to pull in the right numbers. As always, I found everyone at Don Smock Auction Company to be extremely professional and great to work with, and look forward to engaging your firm in the future of appraisal and auction work.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for the outstanding job in helping us to sell our equipment at your recent auction. I know you had to go to great lengths to recover much of the equipment. I know your repossessions efforts were under many less than desirable conditions. The weather was miserable, and I know several of the individuals you dealt with were not excited to see you. Your ability to negotiate the locations and retrieval of several of our larger pieces of equipment was terrific. I am confident we would not have located all of these pieces without your assistance.
Although we prefer not to have the need to repossess equipment in the future, you can rest assured you will be called upon if needed. Thank you again for your efforts.

I was equally impressed with your auction house on my recent visit. You have a very clean, well organized yard. I am sure this added to the success we realized from the auction. I also appreciated your knowledge of appraised values of our equipment, and how accurately you estimated what we should expect to receive at the auction. This knowledge is a great help in allowing us to make decisions on what length of effort we should go to in retrieving our equipment.

I have been dealing with Don Smock Auctions for 23 years now. On both the buy and sell sides, I’ve never been disappointed. They are very professional, personable and will always give you good honest numbers of value. I learned a lesson many years ago and dealt with ‘two other top industrial auction companies’ one time because of auction timing issues and never again. I have been spoiled dealing with Nic and the guys and value the relationship that 23 years have brought us to.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for the continued service and support for our industry. We enjoy working with Don Smock Auctions. The DSA team is courteous and professional to buyers and sellers alike, and we’ve had firsthand experience in both capacities.
Rieth-Riley is proud to be a client of Don Smock Auction Company; a home-grown neighbor with international reach. We wish you and your team continued success as you expand Don’t legacy.

As an independent used equipment dealer for almost thirty years, we welcome partnering with Don Smock Auction Company for professional assistance in selling used construction equipment for our customer’s when they are upgrading their equipment fleet. The team @ DSA demonstrates “no hassle” approach as well as “flexibility” when working to achieve the best value for the equipment being auctioned. The process from start to finish is above and beyond the expectation that are set including communication, marketing of the event and quick release of money after the sale.
We look forward to continuing our years of success with a great company and team players that represent Don Smock Auction Company.

I’ve done a lot of business with DSA over the years. I started working with Don Smock back in the early 2000’s. My experience with DSA was always enjoyable and the outcome of our business together was always fair. I appreciated Don’s interest in my success, and his willingness to always try to help, even in times when he couldn’t. I miss him, he was a great man.
I’ve dealt with Nic for many years, and the outcome has been equally as enjoyable. Nic is extremely passionate about his business, his customers, his community, and his faith. He has taken DSA to the next level, and I know Don would be very proud.
I personally recommend you call DSA for any auction needs, if for nothing more than to learn what it is like to do business with this family.

I just wanted to let you know that we have enjoyed working with your company for many years now. I can remember our fathers working together many years ago with you father Don first started your business.
We have purchased and sold many items at your auctions through the years and have always been very pleased with the process. When selling items at your sales, your office does an excellent job communicating the information that we need as well as processing our payment in a timely manner.

First off I would like to say thank you. Thank you and your staff for running a well organized auction. You guys did a wonderful job for Berns Construction. I know that we had used you in the past for auctioning off equipment, but this was my first experience and all I have to say is thank you for educating me from beginning to end on the whole process.
For this being my first experience and having approximately 40 pieces to sell I was a bit nervous, but you and your staff went out of the way to meet me several times at my office and for lunch to discuss details. I never once felt like there was anything that you were hiding from me. The whole appraisal process was painless to me and I felt like those were numbers you were going to work hard to get for us. Once I signed the contract, your staff did a great job of marketing our equipment and preparing us for the auction. Pictures and advertising helped get our equipment out of the masses to review and see before the auction which I believed help make our equipment sale a success.
Although I could not attend the auction, I did have a couple of representatives of Berns there and they were impressed at how streamlined and organized the auction was. We were very satisfied with the sale and the excitement of knowing that a couple of our pieces went overseas just adds to the satisfaction.
I was pleased with the follow up meeting after the auction when you personally delivered our proceeds and we discussed what went well and not so well and what we could do better in the future.
As I have said, I was thoroughly pleased with my learning experience as my first auction and very pleased with you and your staff’s professionalism. I will be doing business with Don Smock Auction Co., Inc. again in the near future.
