Shop Service – Many technicians have started their careers in our shops, where we see jobs ranging from general maintenance to major repairs.  

Field Service – These technicians take the parts, tools, and know-how needed to do jobs on equipment that can’t be brought into our shops, due to sheer size or location.   

Rebuild/Remanufacture – Techs in our remanufacturing facility in Salem, VA specialize in jobs such as overhaul, reassembly, and testing, giving new life to worn-out equipment. 

EPG (Electric Power Generation) –   These jobs involve mechanical and electrical service of the engine/generator package as well as performing electrical repairs on associated components of the power distribution system such as transfer switches, breakers, relays, switchgear, etc.  

Hydraulic – We have a saying: “If it uses hydraulic fluid, we fix it!” No small claim when you think about how many different types of equipment and systems use hydraulics these days. But with our 5 rebuild centers strategically placed around our territory, we back it up.  

Machining/Welding/Fabrication – This group of technicians is known for their ability to salvage components, even if it’s something out of the ordinary. Need a new cylinder head for a 1934 Packard? We’ve got you covered.
