Equipment Rental in Johnson City, TN
Every ETRA story starts in Johnson City. Ed Baxter opened East Tenn Rent-Alls here in 1962 with a simple idea: give his neighbors access to the tools and equipment they needed without the cost of owning them. More than 60 years later, our Johnson City store at 3711 Bristol Highway is still the flagship, stocked deeper than ever and staffed by people who know every machine on the lot.
Whether you are a contractor lining up an excavator for a Monday dig or a homeowner grabbing a pressure washer for the weekend, you will find the right equipment, honest advice on how to use it, and pricing that respects your budget.
