Hose Guys

Hose Guys makes and repairs hydraulic hoses, mostly on site. Its technicians carry a stocked warehouse and vans to custom build, install and test hoses at the customer's location, with services that include custom power steering and A/C hoses, pressure washer hoses, stainless steel Teflon hoses, quick disconnects and hydraulic cylinder repair. Hydraulic oil is sold in gallon and five-gallon containers.

The company says it arrives within about an hour of scheduling and is available 24/7 for on-call service. There is no travel or mileage charge in the Metro New Orleans area during normal business hours. Customers who prefer to come in can visit the shop on Hickory Avenue in Metairie on weekdays, and weekend shop visits are by appointment with after-hours rates.
