Your One-Stop Shop for Fire Apparatus Repair



I started my career as a repair technician over 20 years ago. I’m also a career firefighter in the Chicago suburbs. I have a strong understanding of this industry, and I know the urgent nature of apparatus repair.

In generalized repair shops, it’s easy to get stuck in a holding pattern while waiting behind nonessential equipment like dump trucks, semis, and transit buses. Today’s fleets are lean and reserve apparatus are becoming more sparse; waiting for a large shop to get around to your urgent repairs is unacceptable.
