“First class organization!”

“By far the best distributor to work with because you just get things done, the left hand always knows what the right hand is doing. Super creative in marketing and POP – sets you leaps and bounds apart from your competition. You have the right people doing the right jobs.” – Tom Stannard, Wellington Implement

I appreciate working with your company. Out of the four reps I deal with for my business, none of them compare to Al Latta (Sales Rep). What a great company all around to work with. All of the added support from the ground up drives me to promote your products over the competition. Thank you from all of our staff to yours, we look forward to growing together in the future.
Kevin Sonneberg, Red Barn Sales and Service

PACE has been by far the best Distributor I have worked with! Thank you so much for all that you do for our dealership. The PACE warranty department is for sure one of the best we work with. We have a great, trusting relationship with them, which allows us to better service our customers. Warranty claims get processed right away, and credits are issued very fast. Together we have made great strides in growing our business, and we look forward to continuing.

Chris Daniels, Plow World
Gary Balko [Inside Customer Service] is one of the best people employed by PACE. He always either answers the phone when we call, or returns calls promptly. If he doesn’t have an immediate answer, he will get one for me quickly. Working with people like Gary is why I like doing business with PACE. Gary, along with Nichelle and Todd [Marketing] are all the best in the business.
Jason Huber, Central Equipment
PACE is easy to work with in many ways. Best of all, PACE has the dealer’s best interests in mind. This allows us to be profitable and able to afford the improvements and upgrades necessary to grow our business. I know that the people at PACE will listen and consider any ideas I have to offer, and we work together to make things better. I feel PACE has committed to me and my business, and I have in turn committed to PACE. Thank you to all at PACE for being my Distributor of choice!
