01

Diagnosis

Machine arrives or is assessed on-site. Symptoms mapped to hydraulic schematic — no guesswork, no parts-cannon approach.

02

Teardown

Full disassembly in a clean-room environment. Every component measured against OEM tolerance, not approximation.

03

Rebuild

Precision reassembly with new seals, bearings, and wear components. Torqued to spec — not "close enough."

04

Proof Test

Pressure-cycled and load-tested before the housing is sealed. You get a written test report with every job.

we brought back.

"Our Cat 390 went down on a Friday afternoon. Marcus had it diagnosed, torn down, and rebuilt by Sunday morning. We lost 14 hours instead of three weeks. That's the difference between making payroll and missing it.
