I just purchased a 12 bolt from them and they (Rick) was willing to meet me outside of hours to drop my car off also. I came from a shop (SpdDmon) not saying names that was not like this at all. Very pleased with HPE so far and definently looking forward to the 12 bolt.

I gotta take this back to the top cause I want everyone to know that HPE is by far one of the best shops I have done business with so far. Everytime Rick calls me, he is professional and makes me feel like a rich customer (which I am not) even though I have only spent maybe $3400 there. So TTT
