Recognizing a need within the industry, we directed our attention to the remanufacture of automotive air conditioning compressors along with our original intent to provide and distribute quality automotive air conditioning parts at reasonable prices. This necessitated the incorporation of an in house machine shop which also permits us to service the needs of the custom and antique automotive fancier. We also build custom hoses or rebuild hose for those applications not readily available or obsolete. This includes applications such as power steering hoses in addition to automotive air conditioning hoses.

2) Notifying the carrier upon discovery of concealed damage and requesting an inspection within 15 days of receipt, both in person or phone and following up via mail;
