How it works

Bring us the unit. We'll handle the rest.

We're a bench shop. You or your mechanic pull the starter or alternator, and we test it, rebuild it, and have it ready to go back on.

Our rebuild bench
  1. Drop it off

    Bring the unit to the shop on 46 Ave in Olds. Call ahead if you need it rushed.

  2. We test & diagnose

    Every unit goes on the test bench so we find the actual fault before quoting the repair.

  3. Rebuilt & ready

    Usually same day or next, depending on parts. If a rebuild doesn't make sense, we'll offer a new or reman unit.

Bench work only. We don't remove or install units on vehicles or equipment.

Who we serve

From the field to the driveway.

If it has a starter or an alternator, chances are we've rebuilt one like it.

Our biggest customers

Agriculture

Most of the work through our door comes from area farmers. Tractors, combines, swathers and sprayers, rebuilt fast so you don't lose a day in the field.

Oilfield

Rigs, service trucks and field equipment.

Construction

Loaders, excavators and heavy equipment.

Heavy truck & fleet

Highway tractors, work trucks and fleets.

Industrial engines, gensets and machinery.

Automotive

Cars, pickups and light trucks, walk-ins welcome.

Powersports

ATVs, side-by-sides, bikes and small engines.

Why us

Dealer-quality work without the dealer price.

We started this shop to give people an honest alternative to dealer overcharging. A rebuilt starter or alternator often costs a fraction of a new dealer part, and you get it back fast from people who have been doing this work for nearly three decades.
