      * began a purchase agreement involving silverline of bartow fl April 4, 2025. My equipment loan agreement was with clicklease. somehow the doc fee payment for clicklease didnt go through on April 7, 2025 and i was told that a stop was put on the payment. called my bank and figured things out. reminder i already told my sales *** i was coming to get the trailer on April 8, 2025. so i get on the road to come pick up the trailer. i get a call saying the doc fee didnt go through so as i was driving i called clicklease paid the doc fee and was told i was still okay to pick up the trailer. im from ************** so the drive is not around the corner from **************. i get all the way in ******* to get a txt saying they wont release the trailer to me because they didnt want to go through with the loan agreement. so i turned around went back home to **. i constantly contacted both places to get my refund back once i got home. the sales *** lied and told me that clicklease would have to be the one to issue the full refund when they were only obligated to return the doc fee i paid directly to them. i spoke with the manager and even contacted a separate silverline trailers to obtain corporates number after failed attempts of asking for corporates number from ************************************* location. Ive called corporate who is also very rude and not trying to help solve the situation im basically being told i have to get my sales *** to send in the confirmation so i can get my refund in the mail. he doesnt answer the phone and his store manager is also not trying to help resolve the situation also telling me its on the sales *** to send something to corporate to process my refund. its May 19, 2025 and im still waiting on my down payment of ******* i placed on a trailer i never received and continue to be given the run around by silverline of **************. i would just peacefully like my money back and its affecting my ability on finding a trailer for my business.

      Since our independent sales locations collect deposits through various collection methods and then send the funds to our corporate office, we cannot "put money back on a card". We have, however, approved the refund and mailed the check out to the address provided by the customer to our sales ****

      I leased a trailer on October 2025 and still haven't received my license plates, I called clicklease and they explained that the dealership hasn't sent the *** to them so they can't process the license plates.

      This customer requested a "derate" of his original paperwork when he purchased the trailer. This means that we had to void the current paperwork and request new paperwork from the manufacturer. We have every derate customer sign a form stating that they understand that the timeline is out of our control when we do this service for them. We have received his paperwork and have mailed it out at this point, the customer should receive it soon.

      Purchased trailer in mid May 2024 for 18k. Started warranty with dealer withing 2 days of purchase for **** issues, paint issues, tool box not latching. In July the trailer was stuck in the air after dumping 2.5 hours from our office at a secure special waste facility. Explained to dealer that I can't move it and it can't remain on property past Friday evening. Friday came and gone. Only communication is because I have to threaten to consult my attorney. I had to beg facility to allow me to leave trailer onsite over the weekend. 6 days later I'm getting told to check with manufacturers part vendor. Still no parts , no tracking on parts.

      ************** contacted us to submitted a warranty claim on his behalf on 6/27/24. We submitted his claim for him even though he failed to properly register his trailer warranty through the manufacturer website. The manufacturer reached out to this customer the same day to assist. I have also attached the manufacturer warranty policy and the invoice for the repairs that were made on behalf of the customer. The manufacturer stated that they will be fully reimbursing this customer for the repairs made. Please see following response from the manufacturer who holds the warranty for this customer.

      ********** Trailers was made aware of the cylinder being unfunctional on 6-27-2024 and I tried to get in contact with the distributor we purchase these cylinders from the same day and the customer received a new cylinder on 7-5-2024 and the customer had his service technician replace the cylinder and after it was working good again. The customer paid his service technician for labor and emailed me the invoice on 7-15-2024. On 7-18-2024 the customer talked to me about the issues he is having with the toolbox latch not working correctly and the jacks, I asked him for a video demonstrating what the issue is exactly so I can diagnose the issue correctly and he has not provided me with that.

      I went to get credit approval for a trailer. A trailer there was damaged. The trailer broke my axle. I was not able to bring it to them because they said I should take it to the manufacturer, They would not give me another trailer.

      ************ purchased his trailer in January of 2024. Silverline does not hold warranty on any trailer, but since the trailer was purchased new it is still covered under manufacture warranty. He has been in contact with the manufacturer to try to get his issues resolved. We know at times the warranty process can seem difficult for someone that has never had do a claim. We have reached back out to ************ to offer assistance and make sure he is in touch with the correct people. At this time he is in direct contact with the manufacture warranty department so they can work towards getting his issues fixed. Silverline and the brands we sell understand time is valuable to our customers and in some cases it is not practical for a customer to travel to the manufacture for repairs. In most situations manufactures do not require a trailer to be brought to their facility for warranty repairs, but rather try to find a local facility, that is reputable and capable of performing the work so the customer can have the trailer repaired as quick as possible.

      The return statement by the company is false, I was irritated because they asked me to put full coverage on a trailer that wasn't mine yet ******. I spent $115 on that? They declined to reimburse that. Stating that was not their problem but why would they have me get full coverage insurance on a trailer and that was not mine yet? That was my frustration. My deposit was also $350. They did send me a refund check but charged me for postal? Please see attached at this point I would like to be reimbursed for my insurance also. me back after everything was done and said ok man you are 100% good to go. What day are you coming in I said we will be there Saturday at 9 am - Im gonna leave the house about 4 oclock in the morning to be there when you guys open as its an eight hour round-trip he said great see you then. Two days later 1 day prior to making the trip again ??? he said oops you guys need a couple more things at this point weve sent everything possible and are starting to feel like this is a SCAM .

      Weve reached out to the customer to resolve the issue the best possible way. We originally asked for more documentation that his selected finance company required, which was insurance on the vehicle that he was using to pick up the trailer. The customer was frustrated with that request and asked for the deposit back. We are unable to reverse payment back to his card, so he was issued the original deposit amount in check form.

      Around 11/20/23 I bought a 40 ft trailer that was sold as new. When examining the trailer we found a lot of damage that would cause it to be unusable. We returned the trailer the next morning with resistance and Silverline refused to return the deposit of $500.00. The salesman refused to resolve the issue with the credit company. Now they are trying to bill us for the trailer we don’t have and neither the salesman nor the creditors will work together to resolve this issue.

      Mr. ***** purchased his trailer on 11/29/23. According to the trailer inspection form, the customer inspected the trailer to ensure the trailer was in overall good condition. He also signed that he understood the ''no cancellation policy". Once the trailer is contracted and leaves the sales lot, all financing agreement terms and conditions apply. Mr. ***** contacted the manager from the location he purchased his trailer from two days after the purchase date. The manager explained the procedures we have to follow. Mr. ***** explained that the tie downs on the trailer were damaged and he would be returning the trailer. We advised him that we can help with the warranty if this was a defect from the manufacturer but that assistance was refused. Mr. ***** stated that he would be returning the trailer to our location. We explained that we cannot accept the return because his trailer is already bound by contract with the finance company.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I received a call yesterday 07 November 2023 from someone at the company about the issue. He said he would look into the issue and get back with me. Then I get this email today. I still want the reimbursement of a winch plate and a formal letter from the employee who lied to me. How can we come to an agreement if we talked only once. 





      Sincerely,

      We have reached out the customer and came to a resolution.  

      Business Response

      Date: 11/14/2023

      When we spoke to the customer on 11/7 it was discussed that he would like a winch plate, but understood that may not be possible since he inspected the trailer prior to purchase. He also stated that he wanted the salesperson that he was dealing with reprimanded. Since the conversation we have spoke with sales manager at that location and the salesperson is no longer with our company. We have tried to reach out to the customer on 11/8 at 2:25 P.M., 11/9 at 9:38 A.M., 11/9 at 12:39 P.M., and 11/14 at 10:21 A.M. with no response.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      They have not left a message on my phone. After looking at reviews on ******** now I see this company does this a lot. It was never discussed about an inspection. Their salesman said he would find me one by text. It might just be worth the money to hire an attorney. Even though it’s going to cost more for that than the 500.00 it is costing to have the plate made. I won’t ever recommend purchasing a trailer from this place.
