Danny Berg’s journey with D&A Sales and Service began in the most modest of settings: his garage in Kleefeld. What started in July 2023 as a one- or two-day-a-week side hustle has now grown into a thriving business with a 2,500-square-foot facility – and big dreams for the future.
“I started with a hope, a prayer, and a couple bucks,” Berg says with a chuckle. “We were repairing motors and pressure washers out of a 400-square-foot garage. It was very small at first, but we’ve come a long way.”
Meeting the needs of Manitoba’s farming community
D&A Sales and Service specializes in pressure washers, electric motors, and repair services, with a strong focus on serving local farmers, and the commercial sector as well. The shop carries well-known brands such as Dynablast, Nilfisk, TechTop, WAG, and PowerJet. Recently, they’ve also expanded into residential pressure washers and floor care units as well.
“Operators usually call me with a specific horsepower they need for their feed line, and I help them figure out what’s going to work best for their operation,” says Berg. “I try to make sure what they get is going to do the job they need it to do.”
Built on family, faith and friendship
The name D&A stands for Danny and Anita – his wife and steadfast supporter. “She’s the one who told me I had a talent and should use it,” says Berg.
The business is also backed by two long-time friends and partners, Peter Abrams and Aaron Gunther. “They’ve been amazing to work with,” he adds. “Their support has helped push this business to new levels.”
Honest work and strong relationships
At the heart of D&A’s growing success is a commitment to treating customers right.
“My motto is to be honest and truthful. A customer is not a dollar sign – they’re a human being,” Berg explains. “I love chatting with people when they come in, seeing how their day is going. That kind of relationship-building has been key.”
People often stop in at Berg’s Kleefeld storefront to purchase parts and accessories for their pressure washers and electric motors. If they’re not sure exactly what they need, Berg offers a listening ear and advice based on his extensive knowledge and experience.
Berg’s goal is to one day expand D&A Sales and Service’s reach across Canada and beyond. For now, the company serves customers across Manitoba and even ships to places like Medicine Hat, Alberta.
