    I recently bought a roof rack from Stoke Equipment Co, and the whole experience was fantastic! The website is super user-friendly—clear categories and detailed product descriptions made it easy to find exactly what I needed. They listed everything: dimensions, materials, weight capacity, you name it. The checkout process was smooth. The best part? The shipping was lightning fast! It arrived even earlier than expected, and the packaging was so secure—no damage at all. When I got the roof rack, I installed it myself using the instructions. It was super straightforward, and all the parts were included. The quality is top-notch, just as described, if not better!

    Awesome experience. The prices were reasonable, I was given all the help and advise I needed on how to plan, shop for, and fit my racks and accessories. The website is SUPER well laid out, clean, and easy to use given the complexities of shopping for a rack system that has so many different parts depending on the year, make, and model of any vehicle. I will most certainly be going back for future purchases. I can't say enough good things about my experience

    Ordered a roof rack for my Mitsubishi Outlander after speaking with Steve on the phone, who clarified questions for me. I made the order at 3.30pm and it was sent that same day, arriving in Queenstown the very next day. Perfect service and product. Would recommend.
