“I’ve been in the business for 38 years. Since I found Maguire over fifteen years ago, I have been happy with every transaction. It boils down to trust. What else do you have when sending your scrap? I always feel I have received a fair settlement with Maguire.”
Warren R. Petrie, Petrie Dental Lab LTD, Richton Park, IL

“My office has been using Maguire Refining for recycling dental amalgam sludge for many years. Maguire’s Amalgam Sludge Mail-away Program makes recycling very simple! My patients also comment on how fast they receive payment when they use the Prepaid Postage Scrap Mailer. Excellent company for helping dentists!”
George Noesen, DDS, Noesen & Associates, Redwing, MN

“We have at last found an honest gold-refining company …  with Maguire, we are completely satisfied and at ease. The prompt service is a big plus.”
Robert Uffenbeck, Uffenbeck Jewelers, Appleton, WI 

“We have used Maguire Refining for many years, and that says a lot in itself. We are truly thankful for getting to know John as an honest, caring and all around great person. We appreciate how fast and efficient the Maguire Refining process is, and we look forward to many more years of business with John and his son, Phil. Nothing more needs to be said. Maguire is the best.”
Ricky Sabo, Sabo Dental Lab, Inc., Oakdale, MN 

“I have used … [Maguire Refining] for 11 years for our office and patients. Their process is simple, their services reliable … Maguire Refining has also kept up with the times, adding services as dentistry changes (e.g., amalgam recycling). The company has been an important member of our team, and I can depend on them to deliver excellent services to me and my patients.”
Robert Maley, DDS, Dr. Bob Maley Family Dentistry, St. Paul, MN  

“We have the greatest confidence that Maguire will give us a fair and honest value for our precious metal scrap. The personal attention to our needs makes working with Maguire a pleasure, and we value that personal contact … I find Maguire to be … honest and ethical … This is important when dealing with precious metals that are worth a great deal of money in today’s market. We would highly recommend Maguire’s services to anyone looking for good, honest returns on their metal refining.”
Jane Lowery and Thomas Marynak, Southside Dental Lab, South Saint Paul, MN

“I … shipped [an equal weight of scraps] to three different gold refiners. The scrap return from Maguire came out to … about $2,000 more than the two other refiners, which led me to have trust in Maguire. John Maguire also stops into our lab … and this personal relationship means a lot to me.”
Tom Hagen, Colonial Dental Studio, Davenport, IA

“[In 1996,] we experienced a fire and had to temporarily move our laboratory during reconstruction. In hopes of keeping things simple, we decided to only work with Maguire … because of the trust and relationship that was born, we now only use Maguire.”
Michael A. Kudrna, Jamestown Dental Lab, Fargo, ND

“I’ve never had any problems with the weights received, which is not always the case with other refiners. The scales have even matched to the 0.1 dwt quite often. The pricing has been honest and the refining amounts assayed and paid out have always agreed to what I thought was in the scrap.”
Joel D. Schroeder, J. D. Coins, Rochester, MN

“I have used as least six other refineries before settling on Maguire Refining. I have not been able to find another refinery that has been as consistent with my return as Maguire … I would highly recommend Maguire Refining because of honest, consistent assaying … [and fast] service.”
Richard C. Weber, Weber Bros. Jewelers, Inc., Lancaster, WI

Gary L. Van De Pol, president, Mitchell Dental Laboratory, Inc., Fort Dodge, IA

“We’ve never had a problem or issue with Maguire … we have greatly appreciated the outstanding job they have done for us and for treating us like a valued customer.”
John Becker, Reliable Dental Laboratory, Omaha, NE

“ … we have used Maguire for a number of years and we have extreme confidence and respect for the company and its staff. We appreciate the prompt service and feel we are receiving fair value. We especially like the averaging plan to protect against sudden one-day variations.”
Milton Roth, Roth Jewelers, Waterloo, IA

“It has been my pleasure to call John Maguire a friend for the past 30 years. I’ve interacted with John socially, as a sportsman, and as a businessman, and his fairness and integrity have remained a constant. Over the years, our office has utilized Maguire Refining, and we are very satisfied with the level of support and commitment to customers. I could not recommend anyone and any company more highly than I do John and Maguire Refining.”
Dan Goede, DDS, past president, South Dakota Dental Association, Southeastern Dental Center, Sioux Falls, SD 

“Maguire works with me the way I work with my customers: professionally and timely.” Brian E. Fanning, The Rock Island Diamond Company, Rock Island, IL

The returns are always prompt and with full disclosure of the assay, and I always feel like I’m dealing with a business that cares about its customers.”
Dave Gardner, Gardner Dental Arts, Waukesha, WI
