Scratch & dent
A dent you will never see. A price you will not forget.
These come off the truck brand new. A scuffed side panel, a dinged door, and the manufacturer can no longer sell it as perfect. Same machine, same full warranty, and it is still in the plastic when you take it home.
“Friendly staff, fast local delivery, and prices people can actually pay.”
No credit? You can still walk out with it.
We work with Progressive Leasing and Acima, lease-to-own programs rather than traditional loans. Approval does not hinge on a credit score, and paying it off early costs you less.

Questions
What people ask before they drive out.
Anything else, call the store. A person picks up.
- Is this the same store as Second Chance Appliance & Mattress?
- Yes. Same building on Central Ave, same owners, same people. Only the name on the sign changed.
- Do you deliver?
- Yes, local delivery across Northwest Indiana, usually within the week. We can haul the old unit away too. Ask when you order.
- Can I see the furniture before I buy it?
- Every piece we can order is on this site with photos, features and measurements. Some of it is on the floor. Call and we will tell you what is here today.
- What if I have bad credit or no credit?
- Lease-to-own through Progressive Leasing or Acima. Approval does not hinge on a credit score. It costs more than paying cash, and we will say so.
- Is a used appliance worth it?
- Our refurbished units are tested on a full cycle before they go on the floor and come with a 30-day parts and labor warranty. Scratch and dent units are brand new with a cosmetic mark.
