Saving The World, One Motor At A Time!
Being in the industrial repair business, we expect our customers to ‘keep us on our toes.’ No matter the industry served, we have to be prepared to react pretty quickly on a daily basis.
How We Save You
We Do What The OEM Can't, In-House!
Sometimes, you have to improvise. To do that, you have to be knowledgeable and creative, and have a willing attitude for resolve. Such was the case on March 9. It was a Friday overtime rush pick-up from Nexteer plant 7.
How We Beat OEM
Rush Repair Completed - Less Than 3 Days!
We received a Louis Allis 75HP shear press motor from a large Automotive supplier, on a hot rush repair. This thing was a mess. Our first impression was that this was not going to be completed in a day or two.
