“We have been a client of HPS for over 20 years. During this period we’ve always found the product to be of the highest quality and in some cases better than the new product from the manufacturer. The staff are always pleasant and extremely helpful with an abundance of technical knowledge. I would recommend this company to any potential clients.”
-John Grange
“Good costs, great service, great quality! Hydraulic Parts Source is a great company to deal with. We have dealt with HPS daily for the last 7 years. In that time, they’ve taken very good care of us. The quality of their parts and remanufactured units are a step above the rest. HPS knows customer service and I know they make every effort to meet our needs!”
-Bryan A.
“I have been working with HPS for years now and can’t remember one time they failed to meet or exceed my needs. They have always gone the extra distance on quoting and getting product to me quickly. I have not been able to find any other supplier that does as good of a job as they do.”
-Michelle Rangel
“I started using Hydraulic Parts Source in 2012 after making the switch from my previous supplier. HPS provides fast & efficient customer service as well as technical expertise. That combined with their large inventory on both parts as well as new units made it a no-brainer for me to use them as my main hydraulic supplier.”
