We would like to send a very big thank you to the gang at West Penn Vehicle Specialists!! After spending a long night out with the storm and trees and wires down, Utility 201 experienced issues with its emergency lighting. We contacted them Friday morning, and they were able to get us in quickly and diagnose the issue with our Whelen Core module. Not only did they diagnose the issue, but they were able to make repairs and have Utility 201 back on the road the same day! And they covered everything free of charge.

We really appreciate their hard work!
