We ordered two lighted custom lamp post signs. We could not be happier when they arrived here in Edmonton. Kristie went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be ordering again.

I went in for my first time looking for some grade 80 bolts one day and spent a solid 30mins looking thru their workshop with the owner. Really great spot and they have everything I would ever need for a quick repair or a whole rebuild.
