EXCELLENT Based on 34 reviews Posted on Google Brock KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a hydraulic hose burst, Dylan was able to come out within a couple of hours, assess and diagnose, and come back within a couple of hours with the new hose made up and have the forklift back operational. Very good response time, quality workmanship and importantly a very nice person who was a pleasure to deal with. Thoroughly recommend.Posted on Google Trim JoineryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
