    Blue Jumper VSP Labs

    I have a terrible time finding a VSP lab that does excellent finish work. Too many of the labs I have used for VSP work ruin zyl frames and do inferior work on metals.

    Does anyone have recomendations for a good VSP lab?:hammer:

    Yes, Luzerne does good work. They are a little higher priced than some; however, if you are looking for good work (above ANSI stds, good cosmetics, etc), then you pay a little more. My past employer used a lab (not Luzerne) of their choice and that lab did marginal work, at best. I spent more time with re-dos and tracking down jobs than I care to admit. In the long run, and inferior lab will cost you more, so you may as well pay a little more upfront and get the better quality work. JMHO

    Their corporate lab in Columbus does a heck of a job on drill mounts for us. I judge labs by how well they do on Drills, but that's just me. Only times I've ever had issues are in busy months like Dec. and January. However, everyone gets busy then and hires new people to accommodate the work load which is what I attribute finish issues to.

    I agree, we've been using them for about a year and a half and the turn-around and quality is really good. They also have very good customer service.
