I sent in my old hoses to them for a "restoration" service but pretty much it was just like getting new ones. They were just supposed to replace the rubber hoses and clean up the ends. I do not think I got any of my old metal fittings back, as I had marked them discretely before sending them.
The new ones were also assembled in a way where you would have to twist the hoses HARD to get the connections to line up. Then the hose would tend to buckle and twist. The tension the hose then puts on the connection would be excessive.
I called them on it and they shrugged me off.
In conclusion, I was very disappointed. I would recommend Classic Auto Air first. OR try a local repair shop that specializes in A/C systems. They rebuild hoses all the time.

Everytning I have bought from them has been great. I bought 2 crossflow condensors from them, designed to work better with 134A than the stock unit. They are a direct bolt in, fit in the same space, use the same mounting and work great. I get 24-25 degree air out of the vents in my Cutlass, with little loss of cooling when stopped in traffic.
