Remember: our technicians are covered by liability and workers' compensation insurance, and our vehicles are fully insured, too. Think that's no big deal? Doing business with service companies that are insured helps protect you from claims resulting from property damage or injuries that may occur when others are working in your shop. Be a savvy buyer - ask for written verification of coverage before placing your order!

We respond promptly to "911" calls-when your whole operation is shut down due to an equipment failure. For customers who use our preventive maintenance programs, we dispatch a technician immediately in the following cases:
|
|
A lift or hoist is stuck in the "up" position and won't come down-and your customer's car is on it. |
|
|
Your paint booth is completely down.
|
|
|
Your air compressor (and therefore all shop air) is down.
|
For all other equipment breakdowns, we dispatch
the next available technician.
We offer scheduled maintenance programs for lifts, air compressors and paint booths. Our goal with this program is to make sure you never have to make a "911" call! Our maintenance programs are outlined below.
This program is designed to prolong the life of your equipment, reduce the probability of breakdowns and help ensure the safety of those operating the lift. We recommend semi-annual preventive maintenance. There are many makes and models of lifts in service today, and we are able to work on all of them. Some maintenance measures may not apply to the lifts in your shop, or other lifts (such as Rotary) have specific protocols that must be followed. However, the following services apply in most cases:
- Inspect and lubricate chains and/or cables
- Check oil level/inspect for leaks
- Inspect safety lock mechanisms
- Grease all bearings
- Check belt tension
- Inspect equalization system--adjust as needed
- Inspect/lubricate arms and lift pads
- Check torque on mounting base bolts
- Test overall operation
- Re-train users on safe operation
All needed parts and repairs not included in the program are brought to the customer's attention for approval before any action is taken. Standard service call and labor rates apply, but be sure to ask about our volume discounts. Customer may cancel the program at any time upon notification.

The air compressor is the single most neglected piece of equipment in any automotive or industrial shop! Yet air supply is critical to nearly every function-without it, you're out of business. Scheduled maintenance will help prolong the life of your air compressor and reduce the probability of costly, inconvenient breakdowns. We work on all makes and models of air compressors except rotary screw units. The following services are performed as part of our preventive maintenance program:
- Change crankcase oil
- Replace air filter elements
- Drain air receiver
- Check automatic controls
- Check safety valves
- Check belt wear and tension
- Check and tighten bolts
- Blow off and clean compressor unit
- Measure amp draw of motor
All needed parts and repairs that are not covered on this program are brought to the customer's attention for approval before any action is taken. Standard service call and labor rates apply. Materials such as oil and filters are billed at list price. Customer may cancel the program at any time upon notification.

Winter is hard on paint booths. Cold, wet weather wreaks havoc with heaters, pressure equalization systems and air flows. But for the second year in a row, every customer who participates in our scheduled maintenance program made it through the winter without a single breakdown. Regular booth maintenance makes the difference because it identifies problems before they develop, and a clean booth runs at optimal capacity-no matter the weather.
Want clean paint jobs?
Keeping your booth clean and maintained also has another benefit to profitability: paint jobs turn out cleaner, eliminating buffing time and reducing cycle time.
We'll customize a maintenance program for your booth

This is the story about a body shop in a large metropolitan auto dealership, whose manager opted in good faith, for a time, to save a little money by hiring "Company X" instead of Professional Automotive Equipment to maintain the shop's paint booths.
Company X represented to the customer that his maintenance agreement included the same services as those provided by Professional Automotive Equipment-for a lower price. For nearly two years, the booths were kept respectably clean, and the customer was happy.
One day, a loud BOOM erupted in the shop, terrifying the manager, the staff and the customers. Upon investigation, the explosion was found to have come from the paint booth duct. The distraught manager immediately called Professional Automotive Equipment because we had installed the booth originally. Our inspection revealed that the burner had a cracked diffuser plate. This had allowed small pockets of concentrated gas to leak into the chimney duct. For some time, whenever the burner ignited, small backfires occurred, but these went unreported by the shop's busy technicians.
The cracked diffuser plate should have been discovered during a routine burner inspection! When the shop manager asked Company X about it, he learned that our competitor's maintenance agreement never included burner inspection, so the burner hadn't been checked in two years. The manager was irate. He said, "All I got for my money was a wash job."
Thankfully, this incident caused no serious property damage or personal injury. Nevertheless, the consequences were serious. Cost to replace the burner, diffuser plate and special-order duct was nearly $5000. In addition, the booth was down for an entire week. That meant painters earned reduced paychecks, customers couldn't get their cars on time and insurance companies were unhappy. Estimated lost revenue for the down time was nearly $25,000.
Remember: We don't just clean your booth-we inspect and maintain all of its systems for top performance and to avoid "911" calls. Click here to contact us about your customized maintenance program.
