Genesis was transparent with me, and answered all my questions, they weren't trying to sell me anything or push hoists onto me. They could see my plans and what I needed for the future for all the types of cars I service. And they provided me with solutions for what is going to work for my workshop and the future. I’m confident with Genesis Equipment and the BendPak hoists they’ve supplied me.
