I have a second truck after going to the show in August was very impressed with Idle Busters. After getting approved and going through all of there hoops I have decided that doing business with these people is not a good idea.

Can not get a return call from your salesman

Misplaced my phone # and could not give me an answer if I was approved for three weeks was informed that this is normal notification time, salesman told me one to three days.

Turn over of staff

When they sent the lease wanted it returned now and I was on the road (urgent).

Recieved a call today that if I do not get it signed and returned that there is going to a price increase (after we already have agreed and placed an order).

In reading the lease I must purchase an insurance policy (never told this up front) and that get this I must also carry a 5K liability with them named on the policy. All this for a lease. There was more written in this lease that is vague. My better sense tells me to do business elsewhere. They charge extra for everything, shipping, install, you name it this company wants for you to foot the bill and the only item you can lease is the machine itself. Everything else is pay up front.

When talking with these people at first I got the impression, OK heres the price of the unit plus install, not plus shipping not plus this that or the other. Or anything about extra insurance, had it been explained up front I would have been ready.

If your gona deal with these people just be ready and have an attorney look over the documents as the way I read you have nothing to loose but $.

I was impressed with Idlebuster after the Dallas show but found out about the $525 shipping later. I'm going to choose something else. Right now I'm seriously considering Willis or Blackrock.

Willis runs the truck units so you have both dash and sleeper a/c units operating at the same time. It gives you more output than most other units. It also offers the option of circulating the engine oil so there is never a dry start as well as an air compressor option as a backup to the truck air system.

Blackrock uses a Yanmar engine and has a 1000 hour service interval so it's down for service 1/2 or less the amount of time of any ohter units.

Willis is significantly more expensive but offers things the others don't. Blackrock is priced competitively and offers the very long service intervals.

After all the problems with Proheat and the 8 trips to the shop that's definitely not an option.
