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.

What believers are saying

  • Fire departments adopt Garage to counter surging apparatus costs and production delays.
  • South Charleston Fire Department generated $1.2M revenue selling three surplus trucks via Garage.
  • Garage partnered with 36 West Virginia fire departments enabling instant apparatus value quotes.

What critics are saying

  • Fire Truck Mall dominates used fire truck market with larger inventory and lower prices.
  • GovDeals entrenched government auction platform diverts surplus sales from Garage partnerships.
  • Two-employee startup risks burning $13.5M Series A without achieving meaningful user growth.

What makes Garage unique

  • AI-powered appraisals and virtual inspections automate valuation for expensive emergency equipment.
  • Integrated freight, financing, and warranty services handle full transaction lifecycle end-to-end.
  • Founded by former firefighter Martin Hunt with firsthand knowledge of procurement inefficiencies.
