Of all the vendors I deal with on a weekly basis (20 or so) and all past vendors (100's), Karina Vargas with vortex has been in my top 2-3 as being the most helpful, responsive, personable, and avaliable. Karina truly cares about our issues and is great at providing superior service. Karina has set the bar very high for all other vendors compete with. Vortex is a great company and partner for our location. Great job!
