I just wanted to tell to those who might concern about the level of service provided by Graco Mexicana, your mexican distributor, they are slow in response, have no spare parts whatsoever of any critical part that they know they need to have in stock for their customers. In our experience, we sent a 75HP compressor to overhaul with them, and as suggested by them, we bought the parts that they suggested, more than 17KUSD, 3 months later, they told us that we needed to invest more money and that the person responsible for that diagnostic was not part of their company anymore....that kind of answers are very very disappointing...what can you do to make things better?, how can you help us???....looks like every time we complaint about a bad service, the responsible person are no longer part of Gardner Denver in Mexico.
