Palo Alto Electric Motor Corp

Helpful, capable, friendly, affordable, and above all, trustworthy. They got my equipment repaired and running smoothly, on schedule.

This shop was our savior!
The motor on our paper cutter machine started to make loud grumbling noises.
I was told by our technician that it is probably the motor going bad.
I searched around Google and found this shop and boy am I glad I did.
We use our paper cutter day in and day out and if it is down so is our whole operation.
Dallas and Doug were very accommodating to my needs and got my motor up and running with a 1 day turnaround!
Communication was great and kept me updated throughout the day as to when I could expect my motor back.
Highly recommended shop and would use them again if needed in the future!

Great place been using them (Doug, Patty, Maria) for 15+ years started when working for city of Palo Alto and now for Stanford University, commercial and industrial work has been superb got us out of many tight situation thanks folks for the great work and customer care. Phil S.

Very efficient and on point, excellent customer service

I have used this shop 4 times. Never again.
Motor 1 — They did a great job
Motor 2 — They did OK but didn’t bother to tell me the rotor was bent somehow — Strike 1
Motor 3 — They put the motor back together *backwards*. After arguing with me and then *me* showing them the marks they had stamped on the motor and then ignored while reassembling, it they fixed it. — Strike 2
Motor 4 — It was working fine and just needed work on the relay. They half disassembled it and then accidentally fired it up, apparently. The inside bearing retainer severed the run windings. They called me to tell me that *I* had broken my motor… I was basically in shock that they could be so incompetent and then not take responsibility. — Strike 3
Avoid this shop unless you personally know the person working on the motor. Only 25% of their employees are competent.

Great place to go!
Had small motor that I thought was going to have to be replaced (a new one would have been $ 1,400), they looked it over said they could fix it for less then $ 400. — It was a nice surprise & made my day.
Fast service & friendly people, I’m going back !!
