We grew up in this industry. Our leadership team has spent decades in the automotive equipment business. Long enough to help pioneer the direct-to-consumer model that changed how shops buy lifts, tire changers, and wheel balancers.
But somewhere along the way, buying shop equipment stopped feeling like a decision and started feeling like a gamble. Endless websites, no one to talk to, no way to put your hands on the equipment before you commit. And when something went sideways after the sale, good luck finding a human. We built Truman to fix that.
A real showroom, the biggest in the country, where you can put your hands on a lift and watch a tire changer run before you buy. A carefully chosen lineup of brands we actually stand behind. And a team of experts who pick up the phone.
You're making a decision that'll live in your shop for years to come. You deserve to make it with confidence. That's what Truman is here for.
The team behind Truman Tools & Equipment brings over a century of experience in the automotive equipment industry.
Our leadership team has been involved in many of the major shifts in this market, including helping pioneer the direct-to-consumer and showroom-driven sales models that have transformed how automotive equipment is purchased.
That experience gives us a deep understanding of:
We are building Truman to combine that experience with a modern, customer-first approach.
Truman Tools & Equipment is the premier hands-on automotive equipment showroom in the country. Many of our products are large, technical, and high-value purchases. We believe customers should have the opportunity to see, experience, and compare equipment in person before making a decision.
Our Truman Experience Center Showroom, located in Daleville, Indiana, about 30 minutes outside of Indianapolis, Indiana, was intentionally chosen for its central location within the Midwest and accessibility to customers across the country. Visitors can see equipment operating, ask questions, and evaluate different options in person.
For customers who prefer to shop online, we also provide a world-class website experience and knowledgeable support team.
One of the biggest challenges customers face in this industry is the overwhelming number of options. Rather than offering dozens of competing brands, Truman takes a more focused approach. We carefully select a limited number of proven, high-value equipment brands that meet our standards for quality, reliability, and long-term support.
By focusing on fewer brands, we are able to:
Rather than overwhelm customers with endless options, we focus on making the equipment buying process clear, straightforward, and easy to navigate.
We respond fast. Call, email, or stop by.
