Report
I am truly grateful for Jordy and his staff at Money Maxx. My Husbands bike was stolen from my yard yesterday after I had taken it for a ride. As I was on the phone with them this morning describing the bike a woman just walked through the door with it ! I truly can not thank them enough for returning our bike to us not even 24 hours after it was taken. If you are looking for anything used please take the time to go in and support their shop.
