Testimonials

On 5/29/2026 Juice Man had this to say:
Great people always willing to help in time of need. But Belinda always goes above and beyond to make it hard as possible that's for sure. I know people that won't go there because of her tactics. She expects everything to be new or close to it. And will compare other items differently then what u brought in. Most of the times she is way off on prices but usually u can get more $$ at the 2 other pawn shops with in 3 miles from there. They lose alot of business over this issue.
