About the company

What WithGarage.com does: It runs an online marketplace that helps fire departments buy and sell used fire service equipment. It acts as an intermediary that lists surplus gear (from helmets and nozzles to large apparatus), connects buyers and sellers, and processes secure transactions. How it works: Departments list items for sale, buyers browse, and purchases are completed through the platform with protections for both sides. The company earns transaction fees charged to sellers and may offer financing options through partnerships, enabling purchases for more expensive equipment. How it differs from competitors: The focus is a niche market serving fire departments, providing a trusted, user-friendly, secure marketplace with buyer and seller protections and financing options tailored to fire equipment needs. Its goal: simplify procurement and disposal of surplus fire gear, helping departments manage budgets while ensuring access to needed equipment through a reliable marketplace.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Garage raised $13.5 million in August 2025, bringing total funding to $18 million.
  • TechCrunch reported AI appraisals and instant freight quotes, reducing friction in sales.
  • Named customers like South Charleston and Utica signal repeatable demand and expansion across departments.

What critics are saying

  • GovDeals, local auctioneers, and Facebook groups still control entrenched municipal procurement workflows.
  • Public-sector buyers move slowly; a single trust failure can freeze adoption across departments.
  • Garage’s niche depends on fire-equipment resale volume; weak transactions starve the marketplace entirely.

What makes Garage unique

  • Garage automates appraisal, freight quotes, payments, and delivery for fire equipment transactions.
  • By August 2025, Garage operated in all 50 states with municipal customers.
  • The marketplace specializes in hard-to-move emergency vehicles, unlike generic auctions or Facebook groups.
