City of Longview Texas

"Dear Mr. Garner,
Thank you for your recent service to the City of Longview. The Auction you conducted was an outstanding success. It went smoothly and was professionally conducted. The proceeds were more than we expected and were well managed. I attribute that to your excellent advertising and active buyer lists.

I was particularly impressed by your mechanic. He was able to prepare vehicles for sale in a short period with the minimum of expense to the City. His ideas to move working parts from one vehicle to another to maximize the number of operative units was brilliant.

My compliments to your office staff, also. I found them to be courteous and efficient. We appreciate the professional manner in which they conducted the collections and title transfers.

Having had the opportunity to be involved in City Auction for five years now I can say that this was a well run affair as we have experienced. The price was very competitive also. Seldom do you find that you receive such quality service at a reasonable price.

I welcome the opportunity to recommend your firm to anyone you choose to refer. Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Robert S. Foster
Purchasing Manager
City of Longview"

I am glad for this opportunity to recommend Ronnie Garner and his associates to you to perform auction sales for both business and individuals needing his service.

I have known Ronnie for about 10 years and he has provided his services for this association and several other central Texas PCAs to liquidate assets. He performs turnkey services of gathering, conditioning, hauling and all other needs to obtain the highest prices obtainable. He has developed excellent advertising and mailing lists to draw buyers from all sections of the state and from adjoining states to assure plenty of action. I have found that his services are very competitive in price and he does what he says he will do. He furnishes complete and detailed accounting and settlement in reasonable time after the sale is complete.

Estate Auction, Houston TX

"Ronnie Garner, Scott Swenson, Ronnie Garner, Jr., Mark & Associates: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work that you did at the auction for my family on May 26th.

The sudden death of our father has been an extremely difficult situation for my family. The liquidation of our father's estate was an event that we were dreading due to the sentimental value that each of placed on the different objects.

Each of you in different ways made this event much easier to endure. I know that while you were there to make a commission each of you were also concerned with the family's emotional well being. We were never made to feel as if our presence during the auction was an annoyance or a hindrance to the proceedings.

We were all extremely satisfied with the outcome and with your performance. We will tell anyone who asks of your professionalism and caring.

If any of you ever find yourself in Houston, look me up. I'm in the book and would like to repay the kindness which you showed to me and to my family.

Thanks again,
Lisa Rigby"

"Mr. Phil Sloan
Ford Motor Credit Co.

Dear Phil:
Having had approximately 10 years experience working for an auctioneer on a part time basis, it did not take long to determine what a good choice Garner & Associates turned out to be.

This very professional group of people had lotted, tagged and made ready for the auction with virtually no help or direction from us.

I was most impressed at the number of serious buyers present during a 40-mile an hour sleet storm in 0º weather. The weather certainly caused any tire kickers to stay home and yet the sale prices were in many cases far above what I would have guessed for the quality of equipment left to be auctioned.

It is my firm opinion that this auctioneer be given every consideration for any future sales including repo equipment which could be consigned through any of his many sales. His "pick up" rate is consistent with industry standards and he does not charge a storage fee for these units. Enclosed is an information folder for your future consideration.

Appreciated the opportunity of working with the San Antonio branch and hope things are leveling out by now. Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Sincerely,
Ann McQueary
T&E Finance Specialist"

"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Ronnie Garner & Associates, Inc. was used to liquidate our ranch equipment at public auction on February 29, 1992. I have known Ronnie for over twenty years and have personal knowledge of his professional ethics and personal integrity. When we decided to liquidate our ranch equipment, I immediately contacted Ronnie for his advice and guidance. Ronnie came to the ranch and recommended several alternatives for liquidating our equipment. In the end, we relied totally upon Ronnie's professional expertise and, as a result, were happy we did. The liquidation sale proved much more successful than we had anticipated. I contribute that success to Ronnie's initiative and professional abilities.

I personally recommend Ronnie Garner as sales manager and auctioneer to anyone needing these services. I am certain that others will find Ronnie to be as sincere and dedicated to his profession as we did.
