In Ann Arbor, most of our projects begin with an inspection order or a maintenance contract that no longer controls downtime. We survey the equipment, read the reports and build a modernization scope that fixes the cause.
We also review existing maintenance contracts so the new equipment is looked after properly once it is installed.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
