  • I want to say a big “THANK YOU” for the outstanding customer service. I was able to test the verification process out this weekend on the existing cores and implement a plan for the drilling this morning. There was no delay in the project and our client thinks we are “rock stars”. They are extremely happy!

  • I switched to CARO many months ago and have not regretted it. CARO staff seem more organized than the previous lab I dealt with. I also really enjoy getting coolers that have little surprises inside (just received Halloween socks). Simple, inexpensive, and very thoughtful. I am sure I am not the only one that appreciates the little gestures. All of you managed to make receiving sample bottles fun. I can't wait to see what is inside the cooler next time.
