The company I work for decided to order another truck from Mac’s truck sales after the success of the first 2. The results were amazing and they did a top job building the new one. Nothing was ever a problem when we phoned to check something or the boss changing things. Nearly 2 years later and the truck is still performing excellent. I can’t thanks Mac’s enough for such a great build. Keep up the great work

Had an issue with my Fassi 710.
Gabe came over, listen to what I told him, diagnosed the issue and repaired it quickly. But also informed of something very important that I wasn’t aware.
Top job Gabe.
A credit to Macs Trucks.
