Do you offer mobile field service?
Yes. Our fully equipped service trucks bring factory-authorized repair
directly to your jobsite anywhere in Michigan — including portable line boring, plasma cutting,
welding, on-site oil filtering, and preventative maintenance. Field service is ideal when your machine can't
be trailered in or when downtime is too costly to wait.
How quickly can you service my equipment?
Turnaround depends on the repair, parts availability, and current shop
schedule. For machine-down emergencies we prioritize getting you back on the job as fast as possible —
contact your nearest location directly for the quickest scheduling. Routine maintenance and PM work is
typically scheduled within the week.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes. Our technicians are Factory Platinum Certified with thousands of hours
of manufacturer training combined with real field experience. They receive continuous updates and technical
support training directly from Bobcat, DEVELON, Kubota and our other manufacturers.
Do you do warranty work?
Yes. We're authorized to perform warranty repair on Bobcat, DEVELON (Doosan),
Kubota, Fecon, Gravely, SnowWolf, and the other major brands we represent. Bring proof of purchase and
warranty documentation when you drop the machine off, or include it in your service request.
Can you transport my equipment to the shop?
Yes. Our hauling fleet can pick up and deliver your equipment anywhere in
Michigan. Mention transport when you submit your service request and we'll quote pickup and return delivery.
Do you offer preventative maintenance programs?
Yes. Scheduled PM programs are the most cost-effective way to keep your
fleet running and avoid unplanned downtime. We offer fluid sampling, scheduled inspections, and
custom-tailored maintenance schedules based on your machine usage and operating conditions.
Where are your service centers located?
We operate full-service shops at 7 Michigan locations: Chesterfield,
Coldwater, Grand Rapids, Howell, Kalamazoo, Livonia, and Saginaw. Each location has factory-certified
technicians and full parts inventory. See our locations page for hours and contact info.
