With much deliberation and sadness we have decided to scale back and close our shop down, to the public. With today's workforce challenges we feel we will not be able to sustainably meet our internal and external/public customers needs in a satisfactory time frame. As such we have decided to focus our efforts on our internal customer fleets moving forward.

We appreciate your business and wish we could continue to serve your fleet and/or vehicle(s). Should any issues arise from previous repairs, please reach out and let us know! We would be happy to take a look at what's going on and help guide you in the right direction or suggest another repair facility. Any warranties given on work performed or parts installed will still be honored, within the given warranty period.

With all the sadness out of the way... There is still Good News!

We appreciate your understanding & support and look forward to serving our customers & community by continuing to offer/sell the following products/services to the general public and our external fleet customers:
- Rebuilding Hydraulic Cylinders
- Hydraulic Hose Assemblies
- Shocker Hitches & Accessories
- Curt Hitches & Accessories
- Motorcraft & Baldwin Filters
- Hydraulic Filter Carts (for sale or rent)
