Challenge: Building A Business One Lift At A Time

Babco gave me the advice and knowledge needed to make an educated purchase that would not only fit my needs at the start, but also to allow my company to grow at such a steady pace.
After over a decade and a half working for some of the best shops in the performance industry, I needed to spread my wings and fly, I had to start my own venture that would allow me to showcase my skills.

There I was, a young father of two, just starting my very own business out of my shop at home, with the intent of showcasing myself as a performance shop looking to compete with the big boys and as everyone knows, the most crucial and desired tool by far is the automotive hoist/lift. After countless hours researching and comparing companies and different hoists, I was damn near ready to go back to bottle jacks (not really). I then discussed my frustration with a mentor who suggested Babco.

When I contacted Babco I was quickly referred to the expertise of Karlene Fretz (Karlene@babco.ca). She gave me the guidance and support which was needed to get me started.
She was able to answer every question I could possibly imagine and help me make the right choice in purchasing my BendPak HD-9XW 4-post hoist with a BendPak RJ45 Bridge Jack -which even has wheels to roll it around for cleanup and reorganization.

Not only did she get me the equipment I needed but went well beyond the call of duty to ensure I got approved with the best rate when I financed with one of Babco's many lenders.
Karlene took care of shipping and she was even in contact with the truck driver personally when it was delivered right to my shop door in the middle of the boonies!

After install I was able to go right to work and that I did. It has only been three short years but we have grown non-stop and are looking at an even bigger facility to keep up with demands!
I truly believe it was Babco that made this a reality and I can promise our expansion at Hooked Up Racing Inc. will be furnished with the best from the experts at Babco.
