When a lift goes down, a bay stops earning

Our technicians repair lifts, compressors, lubrication systems and wash equipment from every manufacturer — including equipment we didn't install.

Diagnosis and repair on most makes and models.

Our service technicians have the knowledge and the parts access to diagnose and repair most makes and models of automotive service equipment. Hydraulic cylinders and lines, electrical controls and wiring, cables, chains, sheaves and equalization systems, locking mechanisms and safety latches, anchors and structural components.

We service what we sell and a great deal that we didn't. If your lift came from another supplier who has since disappeared, we can still work on it.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled maintenance across a single shop or across multiple yards, on a cycle that fits your fiscal year and your fleet's availability. Catching a worn cable or a leaking cylinder on a planned visit costs a fraction of what it costs when the lift fails with a vehicle on it.

Common questions

How quickly can you get a technician out?

Call us and we will get a technician scheduled. A lift out of service takes a bay out of production, so emergency repair calls are prioritised ahead of routine maintenance.

Do you service lifts you did not sell or install?

Yes. A large share of our service work is on equipment installed by other companies, from manufacturers we do not distribute.

Can you service equipment whose manufacturer is out of business?

Often, yes. Between our parts inventory, our supplier relationships and 87 years of seeing this equipment, we can usually keep an orphaned lift running or tell you honestly when it is time to replace it.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We set up scheduled preventive maintenance for single shops and for multi-site fleets, timed around your availability and budget cycle.

Tell us what you're working with.

A lift that needs replacing, a bay that needs laying out, or an inspection that's overdue. Send the details and we'll come back with a real answer.
