I would find out what type of testing they do and compare that with Blackstone as well as cost. If you do try them let us know!

so, I'm trying their Advanced test which is just a couple bucks more than what Blackstone charges for their standard test - turnaround time for results is 24 hrs from when they receive the sample which I found to be very quick - will post the report once I get it

Please do. I am interested in looking at the format/content of their report.

Well finally got my test done - and its got me a bit nervous ... although no antifreeze was found - they DID find high levels of metals -- maybe Rodney can chime in on this!
