Was recently in need of some specialized hose fittings and recently discovered that PDI has a retail store at their facility on Exchange Street in Buffalo. Handed Corey my broken parts and explained what I needed to accomplish and he expertly picked out all the parts required. Corey even repaired the damaged end of the hose I brought in and assembled all the parts. Lancaster Tanks will be returning whenever we have a need...couldn't have been any more satisfied.

Been going here for about 4 years... staff is always super knowledgeable, friendly, attentive (Corey! and Stan!)... they recognize me and I appreciate it. I know they will be able to get me what I need right away and it gets me back working making $$. Wish you had a location in the southtowns because I'm never usually close when disaster strikes. Best bathroom in buffalo NY retail! Appreciate your help over the years.
