Celebrating 40 Years in Business!
RepairZone.com is the online store where you can buy or exchange for new and remanufactured Industrial Automation components. We are a division of York Repair, specializing in the repair of Industrial Electronics from boards to drives, Servo and Electric motors, and other Industrial equipment. Our prices on repair services and surplus items are very competitive, roughly 25-35% of the cost of new. Through our high quality repairs we can reduce your lead time and save you money. We pride ourselves on being, "The Power Behind Your Productivity."
Housed in an 80,000 square foot facility, we have been repairing AC servo motors for the last 17 years and DC servo's for more than 30 years. Our electronics lab came into existence nearly 10 years ago. Let's face it, when something old is repaired, you know that it will fail again because the other components are old also. Our competitors replace the bad components and nothing else, but that is just not good enough for it to work for years before the equipment breaks again. Their warranty does not cover your down-time. The service company which sends something out for repair WANTS it to break again just after the warranty runs out so they can charge you again!
We take pride in our work because we replace ALL of the components which gradually wear out like the fan, lamp, and ALL of the electrolytic caps, as well as anything which is actually bad NOW. We use every trick that's been learned in the last 20 years to keep intermittant failures from occuring, like using alcohol wipes on the edge-card pads to remove the salt from my fingertips. I care how long it is going to last. With 9 full-time technicians and 2 engineers on staff, we can conduct repairs in a multitude of ways.
We have a certified Fanuc trained technician and Indramat and Allen Bradley trained technicians as well. Our monitor division can repair CRT/monitors and programmable operator workstations along with upgraded retrofits with LCD's. We also do instrumentation on measurement gaging equipment such as amplifiers, gages, probes and columns. Linear scales and encoders can also be serviced here. We realign and test each one after cleaning and replacing any lipseals, bearings, or opto transistors.
Through research and development, we have built over 60 test stands to fully test our range of repairs. This is one of the reasons we can offer a 1 year warranty on many of our remanufactured items and all of our repairs.

HISTORY
A true visionary, Frank K. York founded YORK REPAIR, INC. (formerly York Electric) out of his garage in 1971, in Bay City, Michigan. Frank first became a master electrician, and at the age of 28, set out to perform alarm system installation and electrical contracting. Soon after, he moved his operations into a small space on Linn Street. It was during this time that Frank saw a need for electric motor repair, since there was only one motor repair shop in the area. He used his Dow maintenance experience in motors and controls to begin repairing electric motors. He then transferred his operations into an old mattress factory on Grant Street where he hired Bob Lewis, who had 30 years of repair experience, and Steve Jezowski, who was fresh out of the Navy where he was trained as an electrician. Steve is still with the company today and teaches at Delta College.
The business had been going well and by 1979, Mr. York saw the need for a much bigger facility. He found that in the old Wellmen's pattern facility in the Marquette Industrial Park. The building had the heavy lifting capacity that was needed to lift large motors, as this was the next step in the company's progression: being able to perform large motor repair. The facility also had additional space and nearby buildings to support further expansion if necessary. Less than 10 years later, through the loving support of his wife, the late Alice York, he started a large addition that would increase York Repair's capacity and place them among only a few repair companies in the entire region. In the early 1990s, Frank's son, Jeff York, and son-in-law, Kevin Krupp, came into the family business. Kevin is now the president, and Jeff is head of sales. By 2002, Frank's daughter, Danielle, joined the team to lead the human resources department. In 2008, son Jade joined to help start the online commerce store, RepairZone.com.
Today, York Repair boasts a full industrial repair facility including: a winding department, a servo motor lab, an electronics lab, a field services department, an asset management program, and now the online store, RepairZone.com. Frank's vision of York Repair continues to grow beyond being 'just a motor shop'. York continues to reinvent itself and find new ways to add valued service to our customers.
