Sean B.★★★★★

Very Good Experience here, they are honest and now a days it’s very hard to find a business that is reliable they are straight to the point great location best of all great premiums. Parking was fairly easy to find and they have a quick turnover time so you don’t need to worry leaving your car unattended. Very affordable prices, Thanks Guardian!

Mike S.★★★★★

The service and information provided was very timely and thorough. The details concerning the metals in the email were very explicit. The staff person I am dealing with is very friendly and welcoming. I look forward to doing further business in the future and encourage others as well.

Ley B. ★★★★★

I have been going to Guardian to sell my gold for the past 8 years. Their payout is exponentially higher since they do their own smelting and sell directly to the Mint. They pay the best rate by far and are very honest.
