First time doing business with La Marche / Hurtado.cc.
It was a pleasure to deal with a company that REALLY cares for customers, since nowadays for many companies Customer Service are words use for advertising purposes only. The technical support received was appropriate, and all interactions were handled in a timely manner. Thank you!!

I was very impressed the first time I dealt with David. I was recommended to David’s company by our Cummins sales representative, and David helped me thru my first fuel delivery system project for a Florida Assisted Living Facility. He does not just send general cut sheets of systems, … but details such as pump HP values, cables sizes, fuel piping sizes, sensor requirements, etc. I would recommend him highly to anyone struggling with fuel system design.
