Hein is one of my longtime favorite companies. [They] have a great product and I've never (NEVER!) had a bad customer service experience with Hein. Everyone I've ever asked/talked to/whined at has been knowledgeable and kind. And this has been the case for over 20 years. I don't dread getting in touch with [Hein], even if my question/situation is weird.
