Skid Steer & Excavator Repair for Rhode Island Contractors
The repairs other shops send away: engine rebuilds, hydraulic pump rebuilds, major mechanical repairs, wiring harness repair and hard-to-find electrical problems. Rhode Island contractors bring them to our Meriden, CT shop.
The complex repairs
Most shops handle filters, fluids, and bolt-on parts. We take on the teardown and troubleshooting work that keeps a machine parked for weeks.
Engine rebuilds
Low compression, blow-by, knocking, burning oil or coolant. We tear it down, measure it, and rebuild it. If a rebuild doesn't make sense for the machine's hours and value, we'll tell you before you spend the money.
Hydraulic pump rebuilds
Slow lift, weak drive, a whining pump, oil running hot. We confirm whether it's the pump, a relief valve, or a motor first, then rebuild what's actually worn.
Major mechanical repairs
Drive motors, final drives, chaincases, cylinders and the other heavy teardown jobs. We do the work a typical mechanic passes on.
Diagnostics
Won't start, goes into limp mode, throws codes, or quits when it gets warm. We trace the problem to its cause instead of throwing parts at it.
Wiring & harness repair
Rodent-chewed wires, corroded connectors, shorts, dead gauges and faults that come and go. We repair damaged harness sections or build new ones.
ECM tuning
More horsepower and torque from the engine you already have. The machine holds RPM and hydraulic flow under load. See ECM tuning →

Repair FAQ
What kinds of repairs do you do?
We focus on the complex jobs: engine rebuilds, hydraulic pump rebuilds, major mechanical repairs, diagnostics, and wiring and harness repair on skid steers, compact track loaders and excavators.
Can you fix an electrical problem another shop couldn't find?
Yes. That's a big part of what we do. Intermittent faults, shorts, rodent damage and corroded connectors take time to trace, and we do the tracing instead of swapping parts until something works.
Should I rebuild my engine or replace it?
It depends on the machine's hours, value and what failed. We'll inspect it and give you the numbers for both options so you can decide.
Is it worth hauling my machine from Rhode Island?
For the big jobs, usually yes. An engine or pump rebuild on a machine that's been sitting costs you more every week it's down. Call or text first and we'll give you a straight opinion before you make the trip.
Do I have to bring the machine to Meriden?
Repairs are done at our Meriden shop. If you can't haul the machine, call us at 860-404-6411 and ask about transport.
