Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

  • "You guys at DEK Automotive really saved our season with those customized 5-axis wheel uprights and suspension clevises. The blue anodizing you did was spot on without a single scratch, even though the shipping took a day longer than I’d hoped because of customs. You packed them so tightly I spent ten minutes fighting the bubble wrap to get them out, but at least every component arrived in perfect tolerance.”

    Marc R.

    Lead Engineer, Student Formula Team

  • "These aluminum battery coolant manifolds and motor housings are top-tier with clean edges and very sleek bead blasting. It is honestly hard to find a shop in Shenzhen that handles the documentation and technical specs this well. Thank you!”

    Sarah Jenkins

    Senior Procurement Manager, EV Systems

  • "I am impressed with the 5-axis precision you achieved on our stainless steel fuel rail prototypes and turbocharger impellers, especially those complex undercuts. I was a bit surprised by how many technical questions your engineers asked during the DFM phase, but your attention to detail caught a major clearance issue we missed!”
